ok so here in the next couple of months I'll be installing a GReddy turbo kit along with CM stage 2 or 3<ot sure which yet > with flywheel and lower comp. pistons. Now my question is how will the ATS FD work with this set up? should i stick with my 5th or use the GS-R 5th? would this be a practical set-up or would it beat me to death? maybe the FD combined with the flywheel woul help reduce turbo lag? anyone else with turbo+FD on thier R as well?
thanx guys

 

It depends on how much you want to shift and how fast you intend on shifting - the answer to your question is "of course you can do it" - but I would be more concerned with traction if you did that mod. I say leave the tranny stock until you've determined you need higher gear ratios.

 

That would be crazy. 1st gear would be like instantaneous. IDK, i guess its whatever you prefer.

 

you will hardly be able to build peak boost till atleast 3rd gear with the ATS

 

I would agree with those above. Maybe even go with a GSR or LS tranny..?

 

Yea, Mike M. is considering doing the Vortech charger, and if he does I think he will have to sell his c5/ATS trans and pick up a GSR or stock R trans instead..

I think the ATS would be waaay too short for a boosting car.

 

sweet..thanks for the input guys thats what i as thinking too..gearing too short but everyone was raving about the ATS just thought id ask...

 

Wouldnt it be better to get a longer geared transmission???

 

ATS + Turbo= mad wheel spin. There is a local guy who has turbo and stock gearing who can barely put it to the ground.
