I have wanted to post my build for awhile.. especially in hopes to help anyone else thats thinking of doing what my dumb *** has done so you don't run into the same issues.
Build List - 608 Wheel HP @ 15lbs boost
- Built Motor - 9:1 wiseco / Eagle Rods / .020 over bore (Alderman Automotive Machine)
- Built Automatic Transmission (Level 10) - many have said bad things but Pat has always continually fixed my issues when there were issues. Currently holding power. I enjoy working with Pat
- Quaiffe Rear Diff
- BC Racing Coil Overs
- Upgraded Sway Bars (Hotchkis)
- Front bumber is the Rowen 370z Bumper (reason for this was to increase area for air flow for cooling)
- 2 oil cooler s 10AN (1 in the drivers side air window (derale) and 1 in front of the Rad (34 row Setrab))
- 2 Auto Transmission coolers connected with -6AN (same config as above just 6AN and on passenger side)
- A/C removal
- AAM Competition Twin Turbo (i do not like AAM)
- Internal Wastegates on Borg Werner are not the best. I have upgraded by welding 1.5inch to external wastegates on both sides.. and then ran 1.5inch wastegate dump to back of car. This is much better for consistent boost levels

you can see me just starting now to do some time trials and HPDE's. I will be doing many more this year
with that said... i have had SO MANY issues with this car and the people that have worked on it. I have only listed those that i respect and continue to work with in the above list. If anyone has questions on how to get an automatic to have this power at the wheels and make it reliable i don't mine sharing thoughts. Cooling on a track is needed as i ran my trans on a single cooler up to limp mode where it won't shift anymore. With the 34 row setrab cooler we are able to max it at 270F and with the second trans cooler we are hoping to keep it under 240F always.
My oil temps on track stay under 240F
My Coolant temps are potentially a current issue but I have put trac spec hood vents in and hopefully that will help as well as the intake being moved from behind the rad to in front of the rad.. This should help in general with cooling. Coolant temps with just CSF would hit 248 on track and car would go limp pretty easily on a 90 degree day... not good... last races after mods car was staying under 230F coolant.
Brakes would boil brake fluid until i upgraded to motul 600.. this is a necessity
Any questions please ask as not too many have done this with an Automatic Transmission and I wanted to post so that if anyone had any questions with interest in doing something similar including tracking a 7AT car... just hit me up or post on this thread...
Thanks Everyone
