torpis Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Shipping for a block would be about $150, if more I'll cover it... (you do need some monsters over there too http://www.garaget.org/video/i11lbbowkhen ) Just about no one runs automatic here, specially not in the T4.Sounds like I would have work to do 24hrs a day if I setup an Autotech franchise in LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpis Posted December 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 1clean01 wrote on Wed, 24 December 2008 15:58How much torque can the aw55-50 transmission handle? I have heard 350ftlb before, is this true? Jompa (who works at BSR) usually uses their program of upgrades as a guide line for that a complete setup will handle long term...their stage 1 for V70 T5 is about 390Nm for the automatic. I have no clue how much it would handle with state of the art oil and a good oil cooler... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jompa x40 Nordic Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 As Torpis mentioned, the durability of an auto tranny much depends on how it's treated. Using an oil cooler is a good start because once the oil is burned once, the tranny will slip and after that it's often "point of no return" where the tranny will never function well again regardless how many times you change the oil and clean the tranny. Torque spikes whilst shifting gears in combination with overheated oil often destroys the tranny for good. Torpis also mentioned that swedes never run autos in combination with powerful engines and the reason(s) are simple;1. The auto tranny can't cope with real power 2. The manual version can cope with some serious power levels..so why bother using the auto really?I saw another question regarding the VVT and as you know the VVT is primarily used to achieve decent low end characteristics and low emissions but as you intend to run +400 bhp's you have sort of already moved away from the idea to have perfect low end performance...

So, if anyone want's to buy an auto, he surely don't want to swap to manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
