5SFE and 3SGTE flywheels, Are they the same? Options

[WannabeGT4]

it has been done. somone did it in a 5th gen swap. the car ran mid 15s and the auto tranny started to slip because it couldnt hold the power.

Cause I'm lazy LOL. Honestly, I'll be driving this car everyday and most of the time It'll be city driving. I don't plan on racing I just wanted a little more power and since the 5S isn't too healthy I can't just turbo it. I'll just put in the 3S I have sitting in my garage. Plus it'll be unique to the 6th gens and rare for anything 3S powered.

What's the point of having a project car then?

I don't know how much they can "tune" a transmission, or what exactly they'd hook me up with. I like to know what is in my car and how exactly it's working and there is no better way than doing all of the work yourself.

yea work the gears urself to when they should shift and when they shouldnt , instead of getting it done by a professional transmission expert lmao

Look here... if you're not looking for performance... there really is NO point in bothering to set-up some crazy AUTO 3SGTE. Also... if you know how to drive a manual... city driving won't even be worth mentioning. There's nothing wrong with not being able to drive a manual. Just say so... and then say you don't want to learn, and then say but you still want a 3SGTE for the whatever peppie reason. Also... you can't really "tune" automatic trannies. That's some of the funniest stuff I've heard. It's not a matter of when or where the tranny shifts, which can be changed, it's a matter of gearing... and that is custom $$$...

If you're worried about city driving and such... an engine swap really isn't for you.

I never said I wasn't looking for performance, just that I wasn't planning on racing. I know how to drive a stick just fine but if you really want to know why I want an automatic it's because of my balls. That's right testicles. It's just uncomfortable to try and shift when your balls are constantly being smashed by your thighs.
I don't plan on "tuning" the transmission. All I plan on doing is sending the signals that the 5SFE ECU needs to determine when to shift.

An engine swap is for me since the 5S is dieing and I have a 3S in my garage.

This is exactly what I thought was going to happen. It turned from a simple question into a huge debate. I really don't need anymore opinions about the usefulness of an auto 3SGTE. I have my opinions and everyone else has theirs. That's fine. I do appreciate the input but not the critisism.

Explain how *You* plan on "tuning" an automatic tranny. As far as I'm concerned... just some dumb reasoning for people who are too afraid to learn how to drive a manual. Might not make sense to you... cause you're the idiot who brought it up... but it makes sense to the people who know how the sh!t works...

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

#1 dont talk to me like an asshole, esp. since i didnt to u.. jerkoff..
#2 u said it your self u can change when gears shift and geear ratio..

so shut your ****ing mouth faggit

Some children... Can't come up with anything so you resort to name calling... luckily it doesn't even matter to me. Maybe if you knew anything about cars... you wouldn't be ignorant enough to to even try and measure a comeback.

FYI... my refrence to gearing ONLY applies to custom gearsets. If you knew anything... a custom gear set is gonna cost more than your fancy candy paint job and lambo doors... in fact... will probably cost more than most of our car's worth... especially since you're reffering to AUTO trannies. Just ain't gonna happen buddy... unless you're gonna throw down some serious cash for a custom tranny.

As for me... to counter your infinite knowledge on bodykits and soundsystems... I'm gonna go "tune" my paintjob and contemplate building a custom sub box around my tailights...

Umm... you just made no sense with your double negative.
"You can't do nothing" actually means "you can do something"

What name did Kwanza call you?

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

He started with his "idiot" remarks , but its ok just drop it. basically all im trying to say is if ur going with a monster engine. and ur using a old trans just make sure the **** is in good shape, i mean u are going auto right? yea.

[K-ESD]

If you want to go auto and you can make it work, i say do it. Who cares what some negative people has to say. It's ur car, ur project and if you can pull it off you will be the first to have a auto 3SGTE.

come on people, stop insulting each other. This guy needs our help not our oppinions.
