Has anyone ever tried running a Greddy T88 on an automatic ? Can this combo be made streetable? Any thoughts,comments,suggestions or just plain experience here would be greatly appreaciated

 

[Miura]

It is possible. In fact there have been people who have done this. All it takes is a nice sum of money and a good reliable modifications shop.

Like any other big turbo w/an automatic... 4000rpm converter. Done.

 

[Jesus]

I would use it ...no problem...

 

[FeFe Bags]

Yes I think I would too.

Hey thanks everybody for the quick feedback! Is there anything else that would be needed in addition to the 4k stall TC to spool that turbo? 50 shot of NOS perhaps? Or is a 4k stall sufficient enough? Thanks Tony

 

[suprattnsa]

One more question for everyone out there. Will I need to get a G-Force computer upgrade in order to take full effect of the T88's powerband or will the stock 7200 rev limiter be OK for a turbo that size?

 

[I8UR-SS]

No you will have to get the upgrade. If you don't you will be hitting the rev limiter.

One of the fastest (if not THE FASTEST) street supra out there was the T88 powered AUTO of Billy Cha of Altered Atmoshpere Motorsports. His fastest run was a 10.10 e.t going thru the traps sideways (110mph trap) as he lost control at the 1/8th mile....it smacked into the wall hard and that was the end of that car. If it hadn't of broken loose (traction) many people believe it could of done 9.4's-tp-9.5's and made a new world record for daily driven supras (His 1/8th was something like [email protected] MPH, even with breaking traction just before hitting it)...incedentally, the actual record is held by another AUTO (SP's)


AUTO + Big turbo on supras are a lethal combination

Keep in mind, the auto will not hold the power. Even with the upgraded TC your stock internall clutch plates WILL NOT hold. In fact it wont hold past 500 whp usually. (I know this from experience) Look into an SP or PHR tranny before doing your T-88. I have a level 10 combo but I know how much people here hate them. Personally no complaints.

just my 2 cents.

Ben....

 

[YBSLOW1]

Yes you will most certainly need to upgrade your stock tranny and stall as well. The stock tranny will not hold the power that a T88 generates. Well okay maybe for awhile provided you keep the boost down, but anything over 550 on a stock auto tranny is pushing it.

 

[Philly Single]

I have a T76bb on an auto - I believe the T76 is comparable to a T88...so far so good...built tranny/4k stall....power is frightening

Philly... what do you think that thing will run in the 1/4? the thing that keeps me away from big ass turbos is that most people I see with 800hp or whatever are running 11s :lol:

That would piss me off, I gotta run at least 10s... so I figure I need to get a more medium sized turbo, since huge ones seem to be slower in the 1/4 and only have top end... but if the converter seriously corrects that completely.. woohoo

Have you ever run it yet... would you say low 10s?

I hate to make predictions...I'd bet it'll be much quicker than 11s! Ara seems to think it'll run a 9 on slicks - however, until I get to the track..who knows.

I don't think 10s will be an issue....

Pooshda, I gotta ask ya man, and in only the friendliest, non-flaming way...have you ever ridden in or driven even a low 11 second car?

I know you have lofty goals, but you throw these 9 & 10 second times around in a way that has me scratching my head.

Have you taken your own car to the track yet?

 

[suprattnsa]

Philly Single, at what RPM are you seeing full boost with that turbo? Have you taken your car to the track yet?

 

[Philly Single]

Hmmm - well I see positive boost around 3500, around 4000, it's starting to get pretty hectic - I'd say it's in full song by 4500rpms...can't be sure though. I need to get a peak hold boost gauge and do some pulls. No, it hasn't been to the track, hopefully, over the next week or two.

LagTime - you're right one....a low 11sec car is Damn fast!!!!!

Jay,

The Turbonetics T70 is comparable to a Greddy T88, the T88 uses a intake wheel of 70mm not 76 like yours....remember that T 72 uses 72mm still bigger than the T88..

 

[suprattnsa]

Jesus, how about that T88? Just wondering at what kind of RPM's you start seeing boost and at what RPM more or less you are reaching full boost?

Yeah the T88 has a pretty pussy compressor side But supposedly Mitsu hot sides are much better than there garrett equivalents.
