i know i'm gonna get made fun of on here for this, but i'm looking at gettinng a 35-45 shot nitrous kit on my '98, and was wondering if the stock auto trans would hold up. I've heard that a stock ENGINE will hold up to a 75 shot, but i dont know about the trans. List of mods....

it seems in general the stock tranny has trouble holding up with stock power levels, so i dunno what adding more power to the mix will do

apgarabu

well, i'm putting down about 180whp now, and it holds up great. so what does everybody think? will it hold 215whp with nitrous? I know the stock auto tranny sux, i had to get it replaced under warranty around 75k miles. i only have about 20k on the new tranny.

I don't think you want to take that chance and try to blow the tranny again.

ludeboi121

tranny will hold, even with 55/65 shot

apgarabu

well, i got 1 vote for yes, and 1 vote for no. anyone wanna break the tie? lemme know what all of you think!

its not worth buying a new transmission for 35 more hp.
But do what you want, if you do get it, get a window switch as well so you dont spray between gears.

The extra torque may be a problem. My car dynoed 42 whp and 65 ft lbs on an NX 35, that might bruise your tranny......

apgarabu

window switch? never heard of it. list details!!

NXLude

lets you set activation and stop points. Say, on at 2500 rpm, off at 7500 rpm or whatever.

apgarabu

nice, does NX offer them? how much?
