Turbo updates?

bumpup
Any updates? Im anxious to know what your squeezing out of that little sewing machine lol

[dustinp]

Well i guess when my new trans goes in that old trans cooler off of the old ford pick up
I had is finally going to find a new home lol i knew i needed one i just never installed one lol

[bhazard]

So does that mean me killing my f3a offroading and pulling stuff mean i would have destroyed a
5 speed a long time ago? Lol

Most likely. The auto is a lot stronger but nothing is bullet proof. A trans cooler should be used any time you're pushing it hard.

[Fecomatter]

did he ever say what ratio FMU he was using?

[dustinp]

The F3a is stronger than the stock 5 speed by far.

Theres a few auto cars with swapped engines on here including mine and it holds up fine. I will hopefully be feeding mine 250+ hp this year.

Wow old thread lol this almost makes me wanna Turbo my spire ..... i wonder how long the f3a would hold before you need a 5 gallon bucket and a push broom to collect your transmission lmao rofl

True. I do have a couple extras, though I will be careful, and if need be fill mounts. I'll also have poly bushings on everything up front, so that should help.

[bhazard]

Gotta be careful with those harder clutches, they make it a lot easier to destroy the E trans.

[sketchman]

^Yes.

Machine Festy flywheel flat, do some other things that I can't remember to mate the swift clutch to it, then grind the bellhousing so the clutch PP doesn't hit it.

Or just buy a SPEC stage 2 and bolt it on and grind nothing. Mine was about $200 delivered from eBay. Still haven't gotten to start it up yet, though.

[Flyin4stroke]

Probably have to grind the bell housing to fit the larger clutch.

[jhntu]

He says that the swift flywheel is 8 inches and the festy is 7.125. It would never fit.

Hence my misunderstanding with the grinding of the bellhousing.. All good.

Wasn't sure if the flywheel has the same bolt pattern or not. Thought you might have tried the flywheel too.

No! You have to use to festy flywheel. Explain how the Suzuki flywheel would bolt to the Mazda engine?
