whats the best swap,while staying with automatic Options

[HypnoToad]

yea,i mean im trying to get a decent amount of power with out alot of work and money..


if i had the money id make it RWD and throw a 20B in it,lol

[j0e_p3t]

of course, the cheapest and easiest thing to do is to learn to drive stick.

[bindertch]

i want the turbo,but it seems like the only thing to do is take a auto tranny and build it to hold the power

All you would need to do is adust the shifts to be firmer and put heavier clutch plates or bands in it. Wouldn't be that hard except finding the ports ot widen or the valves to change.

Are you positive this would handle the power of say a 3S-GTE engine , if done on the auto tranny that comes with the 5SFE ? how much would a job like this cost ?

Well you have to find clutch plates that fit and are heavier and info or a tranns guide to figure out the ports in the valve body of the trans to modify it. I don't know what it would cost but you could try talking to companies that make kits for the bigger popular trans and see what they say. I know the Chevy 700R4/ 4L60E are popular ones. Basicaly you can build an automatic that can handle the same power as a manual and it will be half the weight.

what bout 3S-GE Beams

will this work wit a auto,and not cost to much

[InfamousChappy]

Trade it in for a auto GT. Then turbo eventually.

Automatics suck...Learn to drive manual.

thanks for your input

[presure2]

fast , cheap, reliable.
pick any 2.
there are no good swaps for the 6gc that retain the auto tranny.
at least none that are worth it.
like everyone else has already said. learn to drive stick.

i had a 5speed Miata,i sold it cause i didnt like driving the stick...all i want is between 175-190HP out of the swaped engine,then add little more HP with Exhaust

Swap in a 4AGZE. its almost bolt up, boosted, and will work w/ your auto.
or turbo a 20V 4AGE, which is even better

lol, i still think the 3sge is better...comes with an auto, just as fast as a 4agze, and the same price....

and what ecu will you use to control the transmission?




If you only want 190 hp,

why not just turbo your stock engine?

no mess wiring.

less down time.

reverseable.

thats out of a MR2,i was looking at that....but its a V6 i thought,wonder how hard it is to fit in

[NaderG]

This is a beams 3sge motor , its is not a V6 ! it is a 4 cylinder .... if you have an ST , it will be harder to fit a S series engine in it , generally look for A series for easier swaps ... there is a couple of swap posts on this website that can help you with understanding engines and swaps and stuff .....

[j0e_p3t]

if all you want is less than 200 hp, just turbo your 7a. its much easier and cheaper than a swap, and you keep your auto tranny.

yea,iv been looking around and figure thats what i would do...i think if i can get 200hp out of a 2700 pound car that will be good since a 91 Turbo RX-7 makes 200hp and weighs around 2600-2700 pounds and its a mid 13 sec car...im not wanting to make my car a fast as hell goes out and beats EVOs and corvettes,just anuff to know u got some HP when u need it


ive been looking for kits,but all i see is the corolla turbo kits..will this work or is their alot to change?
