I e-mailed these guys on what upgrades they offered for the 5AT, this was their response. I heard good things about these upgrades.

Dear Enthusiast,

We have a Valve body recalibration that will make the car shift firmer and get rid of the factory lazy shifts, also we offer a torque converter upgrade that will knock off .5 – 1 off your ¼ mile time by recalibrating the stall speed.



Torque Converter Upgrade = $498

Hydrosystem Upgrade = $698



thanks,

John

Level10 has pretty good stuff-

VB imho is a must for boosted Zs... prolong the tranny life by getting rid of that stupid lag during shifting..

 

im not one to dicourage others but i did a level 10 upgrade in my turbo charged prelude. I bought the torque coverter, pts kit and tranny cooler and it lasted less than 1000 miles and 3 weeks. I ended up having to replace the tranny. So just be carefull.

 

Level 10 doesn't exactly have a good reputation.

 

i knew a coupe of maxima owners way back in the day when their VB first came out with the maxima... seemed like a good deal..

what have you heard Vic?

 

level 10 get's all their stuff from www.protorque.com i had a highstall t/c on my WRX and it was GREAT

I'm sure Supra owners would be the first to disagree with this...

 

are these products already out for sale or still in the making?

 

WERD. I hear terrible reviews about them on V6performance.net. Some guy got screwed or something like that.

 

Guys - I posted a short note 4 days ago on my results with the exact 2 mods Z04 mentioned & I also dealt with John. Since no one here had any comments I took my ball over to the G35Driver website!! Hey, I know that most of ya drive sticks; heck, I would too if my wife knew how!

This is true. Many single turbo surpras had bad experiences with level 10. However, I am sick of the lazy shift or lack there of in my S/C'ed Z. I wonder if the hydrosystem mod will help my Z shift under full boost? That would be worth every penny.

 

I emailed them a week ago and have yet to get a response.

 

my Z is n/a and it shifts stock as hard as my Grand Nationals after they had tranny work. I am talking about in the manual mode. I have major wheelspin when i hit second and chirp the tires in third when going through the 1/4. No sloosh at all.

 

I didn't have a problem either until I installed a S/C. Some 5AT's are worse than others. Maybe you are lucky? Most of the cars that are having issues have significant more HP than you do.

On a side note, I just got off the phone with Jon. He said their email parameters were wrong and that many of the emails were sent directly to their deleted box. He is calling me back this afternoon to see if this mod will help me.

 

MaxHax has an auto with a procharger and I think nos. anyway he is in the 12's somewhere, he didn't mention any tranny problems.

 

I am fairly familiar with Max's car. He dosen't have NOS anymore. But you are correct, he is free from tranny issues that many others are having. I'm not sure why. One tuner sugested that the ECU is reading the car to be hevier than it is. Maybe Max with his wheels/stereo/body kit etc doesn't have issues because his car is heavier. My car has been lightened. No spare, tools, cats etc.

Basically after modding the car (with most Z's) the valve body needs to be recalibrated. I just orederd the hydrosytem upgrade from Jon at Level 10. I just posted about it a couple minutes ago. Hopefully this helps.

 

let us know how it works out for you after you run it through it's paces. I'm not sure how the ECU knows how heavy a car is though. The GN's were my only auto's that I raced, so I don't have any experience with these new "brainy" cars. Sticks are pretty straightforward.

 

Off the main topic but i was wondering if you (fowlman) were able to break the tires loose with your AT when you were stock? or was it after mods? I havent been able to break mine loose at all with my 5at.

 

when I was bone stock as they say on stock tires I was breaking loose all through 1st gear and part of second at the drag strip.
Consistantly turning 14.33 - 14.21 with 60' at 2.1 97-98 mph.
With the mods I have now I need some slicks, because i am all over the place. Coming out of the hole sideways etc. Obviously I need some practice with the additional HP. I have had only one run with the mods and I went up in smoke, so to speak. I won't even share that ET.
