Sorry guys been away for about a week. Here is a fast update on my kit. Working well at ^ pounds. BUT I BLEW THE TRANNY. Thats right 5th 6th and 7th no longer work. The TQ of this kit is a bit much for the AT. The car is at the dealer right now. we will see what they say. I am keeping my fingers crossed that i get warranty. There are some changes i will have to make to driving style at hiway speeds once this is fixed but I can tell you right now I will not be going with the 8 PSI pulley. Should have got a 6MT. oh well Next car.

dang sorry to hear that... . Not to be negative or anything, but I really don't think a dealer would cover a transmission if you have a forced induction system on your car. If anything, you're better off taking everything apart and putting it back to stock before taking it in. Thats your best bet :tiphat:

shumby 11-01-2010 08:38 AM

lol no hiding this. my dealer knows I have a SC.

docaam 11-01-2010 08:43 AM

thats shocking for me atleast just to hear that, as my car is an import here in dubai and dont have any warranty for sure lol.

I am a bit of a noob but then you can't even do any kind of FI on our auto cars or it would have saved you if there was a valvebody upgrade?

why you tell her for? I guess you'll be sleeping in the living room from now on.

Poor Shumby! I hope your dealer find's the tranny not caused by your SC and covers it.

I still don't understand how you could blow the trans. The same trans is used in the M56 and QX56. These are much heavier cars that put even more stress on the trans and produce even more torque (413ftlb @ crank for the QX56).

DannyGT 11-01-2010 08:57 AM

Quick update on mine too...To echo what Shumby has said, the torque is very significant down low. Additionally, I had some flutter too...But I ran a couple of tests, including bypassing the bypass valve entirely and the flutter is gone, so it doesnt seem to be resonance, just simply the BPV. If thats the worst of it than I'm sure it will be an easy fix. You dont hear it at idle, or under any load above 30-40% throttle...its 100% during cruising. I dont count decel or in between shifts because thats how its suppose to work.

I got the teflon paste to seal up the small oil leak I had on the oil relocation fittings so that should be OK now.

Sorry I havent gotten any pics or video, but I was throwing a huge halloween party and I had no time. Hopefully I can get back to all this during the week and get some good footage for you guys!

I was just informed that the 7AT can only handle 298-lb ft, soooooooooo.....
