valvebody upgrade

Z eliminator · 01-24-2017, 06:05 PM

First of all
Gamma has nobody to build the tranny
or the Valve body
You will need the GTM uprev program to make it work
I have a fully built stage 4 GTM
a word on the torque converter all they do is change the clutch pads in it
they do not increase the stall its stays at 1600 (stock setting).
The VB modification took a long time till Sam got it right.
Now that Sam is gone, they have nobody to work on it.
an update on my Stroker 4.5
they told me that they would take care of it and they did nothing.
Sam shipped the motor to the machine shop before he died and its now being built.
by the man who designed the engine at his shop
its a darton being sleeved now.

Hey guys just to let you know, IPT performance transmissions can also do all the upgrade work on the RE7R01A transmission just like Level 10 and their prices are almost identical.

They do, VB upgrades, TQ converter upgrades, and performance transmission rebuild kits.

Just throwing it out there, that there is atleast 2 shops that can do it in the states, and still 0 in Australia

Lol

I am following this closely....I am in the market for 7AT VB upgrade and performance converter.

IPT...don't see anything on the 7AT on their page, only 4 and 5 speed stuff. Doesnt mean they dont do 7 speed Jatco stuff, I just didnt see it.

Gamma...concerning that they may not be able to supply the VB/trans upgrade.

Is there anyone else that has purchased VB upgrades from other vendors?

IPT does do it, they sent me an e-mail recently. They just havent listed it.

Same with Level10, they offered me the Jatco 7AT rebuild kit months ago even though it wasn't listed on their site until recently.

Thanks Shadow, i will call both these guys and find out what the scoop is.

Think I will be calling LVL10 soon, might send my VB from Australia to them for the upgrade.

SG4247 Did you end up calling?

So a different VB can't be mated to our Z, Is that correct? Or can Nissan mate any VB to your Z.

Reason I ask I am thinking of buying a 2nd hand VB from the states and sending it to Lvl10 then shipped to me in Australia. Rather than removing mine here and shipping it to the states and back to Australia.
