Gauging interest for you Auto KA owners

[Rezlo]

How many of you KA guys are modifying your cars?

Ive got my hands on a bunch of KA converter cores and was thinking about building some high stall units for you,,, I supply hundreds of converters now to about 45 different car clubs including some of the most powerful 400-500whp 3G eclipses drag Dodge Avengers and so on.

You'd probably be looking at around $360 shipped to your door via ups,

So how many of you are there that want some off the line power?

It's been my understanding, that the only thing Auto KA owners are interested in...

...is a 5-speed swap. :bow:

including some of the most powerful 400-500whp 3G eclipses drag Dodge Avengers


Do those actually exist? :confused:

[veilside180sx]

I don't see it as necessary unless you have less than 300 rwhp on the stock tranny.

We swapped a Z32 auto tranny into the 240sx. Personally if you are going to make a converter then do it for the swapped cars.

I agree and thats what I did

[drift freaq]

I agree and thats what I did
hehehe not only do I agree but I am personally responsible for converting 20 or more 240sx's to 5 speed hence the reason I wrote the faq.
240sx owners don't need no stinking auto's. hahhahahhaha

i love how he is offering a cool service that i havent seen before, and you guys are for all intensive purposes shitting on him...

Z32 NA automatic transmission is the same as the 240, so that wasn't much of an upgrade.
And shouldn't it be more than 300rwhp?

russ im pretty sure that he was referring to a TT z32 auto

Then I would be mistaken. Good point, although I'm curious what control unit was used since the TT unit would have different programming.

[crioten]

there is a LOT of info on ka-t.org's forum, i believe it is being made by JGS tools...

well the fact is, most if not all of the people who drive our cars do not want auto's, nor do they care about high stall torque converters.
Excuse me for being so blunt, but his product while interesting is going to fall on deaf ears here. These are sports cars, given that people want a manual trans and the average age of the drivers is in the 18-28 group range. A range that again is much more interested in having a manual trans automobile to drive and take to the track.
Only people interested in high stall torque converters are drag racers and while there may be a few here, its not there going to jump and say damn I am going to go out and spend the money on it.

I think you mean "for all intents and purposes". :D

Back on topic, just because there aren't many drag racers here, doesn't mean we should all tell him to get lost and deprive those who are interested in his service.

[projectRDM]

FYI, my car is currently auto and I plan to keep it like that until I can afford a 6speed convo kit and rebuild my old manual transmission. During that time, I'd love to upgrade the auto to handle the turbo setup.

Just because the majority of people spit on an idea doesn't mean it's a bad one. And just because the drift fag crowd doesn't like it doesn't mean it's obsolete. There's a million other 240 owners who don't frequent forums, don't post and flame each other all day long, and could care less about what the 'scene' is.

People need to realize that their way of thinking isn't the only way, popular or not.

Modify a KA?! Blasphemy!!

Correct.

I meant what I said that it is only important for those below because above that you'll just break the dumb thing. Lance(JGS) ka auto tranny was slipping about 325 rwhp. Which is why we swapped it for the Z32 TT tranny, why would someone buy a NA? haha.

[sxse240]

Yeah, I'd be interested. That's a pretty good price, especially considering that there's no core charge.

BTW, I think you'd probably get a better reception at ka-t.org and perhaps drag240sx.com.

well we seem to be taken things a bit personel here. I was A: not telling him to get lost and B: not insinuating obsolence.
The we don't need no stinking auto's here comment was meant as a joke. If your wound that tight, to not get the joke you need to take a step back.

I was merely stating a actual fact that is true. The majority of people here are into stick shift oriented stuff. Again you seem to be very offended by what you percieve to be the quote "scene". Its coming off a tad hypocritical for you to, quote rip on the "scene"but take offense of someone ripping on the drag racers.
Also, because of my screen name, you may assume well damn he must be a drifter and into drifting and nothing else.
Ah, if so you judge with prejudice as well perhaps? I happen to like road racing. Road racing happens to utilize stick shifts. Sports cars are commonly percieved to be sports cars when they have stick shifts. I also do like drifting . Our cars really are not drag cars but people have used them for it.
If you think I hate dragging then you have once again assumed something based on a name .
Again I am not being biased so much as pointing out common and percieved facts.
Regardless of your disclaimer at the end of your post you insinuate a biased, prejudiced position in your post. A touch hypocritical I would think and therefore somewhat disqualifieing the validity of your final statement for yourself.

Driftfreaq was pointing out that this isnt the place for him to come looking for people that want to put money into their automatic transmissions. I don't know much about stall convertors, but if it takes any certain amount of time/money for every type of transmission, then it might not be the greatest investment for him to make on a 240 automatic tranny.

Not saying that automatic transmissions mean you are gay, or unpopular, but most 240 drivers do not stick with an auto on cars they want to have fun in.

edit: I guess its not that big a deal, he said he's got a bunch and I see he has them listed on his site. But the fact that zilvia isnt the greatest market for those is still fact. I am glad to see another performance item for the 240 out there though, good stuff

I never take anything personal. For starters, I don't know you, don't know anything about you, nor do I care to, so there's nothing you'd say that would be taken personal. You're a screen name on a board, just like everyone else. And due to that, I would not be able to perceive if you were joking or not. A simple addition of a :) symbol or something similiar would have highlighted that.
As for being hypocritical and biased, I may be, but that's only because I view all opinions, not the just the popular ones as you do. To automatically dismiss an idea because you don't agree with it is just as bad as not dismissing an idea because you do agree with it, so look in the mirror when you point fingers.
My prejudice is not against drifting in general, but the attitude spawned from it and from all things West Coast. In that respect I can clearly say that my opinion there is biased, but that's only due to the 99% truth in my assumptions. You assume, oddly, that I am a hardcore drag racer from my statements, so once again you're on one side of the fence, I actually don't like drag racing much either but you assumed that due to the simple fact that I have not swapped my own car yet. Pot or kettle, you're just as guilty as I am, so please don't condescend to appear better than me. Different in opinion, but not better.

[420sx]

theres plenty of people out there that will take those torque converters. not everyone likes a manual, not everyone "drifts". im sure everyone wants to be a drIfTz0r on this board. The truth is some of us still like a lil drag.

Personally i prefer the stick but some people might like the auto. lets just not turn this into auto vs manual. People are so biased on zilvia its rediculous. Its like everyone has to drift.... thats why i turned against that croud :keke: just because i hate lil scrony whining bitches that havent even hit puberty. drift your usdm-"jspec" piece of shit and be cool, bitch.
