Calling ALL 5AT drivers that went Turbo or SC, HELP?!?!!?
#42
I have the Vortech..in stock forum , 3.33 pulley you can make 320whp 290trq. ..3.12 pulley..350whp 300trq...you see bigger numbers from both pulleys , but they are from Dynojet dyno's . Its a bit noisy...whistle from the BOV ...some hate it ,some dont mind it , some like it . If you replace the serp belt that comes with the kit , make sure its tight , retighten it a week later ...no problems . You can even go one more pulley smaller [ 2.87 ] and add 20 to 30 more hp . The blower itself can be upgraded to a T-trim like I have done with a built block . I making 13.5 psi at 6300rpm now , but the intercooler is holding me back right now...upgrades coming soon

Thanks lexuss 33 and hopefully that gets us back on the topic of the 5AT. That being said, all have made some good points and it's better to have too much info versus not enough.
I want to make another point. The mods made to the 5AT depend on what you want to do with the car. If you're looking to do alot of drag racing or "off the line" kind of stuff, you'll definitely want to upgrade the VB, TC, increase rev limiter and add a tranny cooler. Heck, you may just want to get the SGP automatic race tranny which is good for about 700-800 whp.
However, if you're not going to abuse it as much you may get away with a VB upgrade and ECU reflash for the random "thrill of boost."

04 350Z 5AT with Turbonetics kit..
On another note bumping the revlimiter to 7100 will help with not bumping off the rev limiter.

Some good info guys so far..
So far, members here with 5AT's with Turbo or SC's...
1. Jonezzz / APS ST
2. Roncfpz / Greddy TT
3. GMADD / Greddy TT
4. Baileyrx / ATI Procharger
5. Booger / Vortech (G35)
Keep it going...
MIAPLAYA, if you have any pull over at TN or know them you should suggest that rev limiter issue maybe they can in fact put that in their next round of flashes and make an even better flash designed for the 5AT...
Guys what do you think the most important thing is after the kit is installed and WHY? Rank in terms of importance for a "normal" AUTOMATIC driver, not a track car pushing the limits all the time and dragging every chance he can but more for the normal driver who will just on occasion beat the car next to him just to laugh, haha.
Valve Body
Tranny Cooler
Torque Converter
Raise Rev Limiter beyond the Flash that TN gives you...

I also have the 5AT and Vortech, I am having the L flash done next week along with a few other mods. I have to say that it drives just like it was never modified, just like the day I bought it.
I am def. getting the SGP VB upgrade next year but do not see the need for the TC yet. Hoping for 441- 450rwhp at the next dyno tune( 2weeks).

(1)BRAKES...
(2)suspension upgrades.

Ron's car had the rev limit increase, but KShep's did not...so I wasnt expecting his car to shift very nicely.

5. Booger / Vortech (G35)
6. ACG / Vortech (G35)
Thing to consider for us 5AT's going SC or Turbo. In no particular order "YET"...
