Hi guys,

1. i have a plan to build my MKIV NA JDM with auto transmision, i want the car still have auto transmision and i'm interested with ATF build autotranny. i asked a vendor in this forums who sell the ATF upgrade, they said that ATF auto tranny strictly only for TT Supra, can anyone explain to me why tha NA cannot use this auto transmision upgrade? because the transmision code is same, A340E.

2. how big the turbo can fit in in NA engine bay without distributor remove and fullrace turbo manifold? i'm planning to change intake manifold using GTE manifold.

Cheers :)

I'd be interested too, as I'm about to purchase a NA Supra and swap in a GTE motor -- from what I've read in these forums, it should fit without issue (if you're using NA rear-end, drive-shaft) ... however, there may be some issue with control -- I guess the NA trans is controlled mechanically somehow (for shifting), while the TT is controlled by the ECU. The question is, if you use the NA Auto, and say an aftermarket ECU like AEM or ProEFI, is there some sensor you need to buy or something you need to plug in. I'm trying to understand this myself too.

The big physical difference is in the valve body, and tailshaft. The Supra NA trans uses a splined output shaft, where TT uses a bolt on flange. They can be swapped, but you have to take the trans apart completely to do it. The NA uses a cable to control line pressure...I believe the TT uses extra solenoids on the valve body to control line pressure. You can swap these as well. Yes you can use a TT trans in place of the NA, but its a bit of work swapping stuff.

The Vendor is wrong!

AFT builds NA transmissions...I have one

I would recommend getting a TT flex plate and Torque convertor.

My aftermarket computer controls the transmission shift points and the cable controls the line pressure.

Induction Performance does many NA tranny's with ATF...its same trans as MKIII supra
