All this talk about trans has me wondering, How many of you guys had your trans rebuilt at a local shop? how many miles on it? price? How much hp are you making? anyone running over 500hp with a local built trans? How is it holding up?

 

Wait for joe to tell you about a local trans shop build. If I wanted 500hp I would go strait to a builder like BTS or JW.

 

LOL...

Local tranny builders...


"yup, I builddded them for alls them farmers, theys pushins 1000hourse powers outs of them cummings... You'lls never brakes one of mys trannys!"

Then you do, and they charge you to fix it... and then you do again, and they charge you again...

Do it right, do it once... BTS 4r100.

 

I had a local tranny shop rebuild mine about a year ago because they could do it right away, and at that time BTS was a 3 month wait. So far I couldn't be happier with the job they did. Got a price from Twisted diesel today, $3,650 I didn't think that was bad. I'm wondering if I should sell my trans and buy one from Twisted diesel, I chose to give them a call because I've always heard good things about them. Or should I just wait till mine breaks, then worry about it? I really can't have the truck down for much more than a few days though. This local guy built it, and if its holding up to my estimated 585hp, i'm pretty impressed. No I didn't estimate that hp number, Unlimited Diesel did.

 

What mods for your 585hp guess?

 

I knew that was coming,
Intake, exhaust, banks chip, and banks stickers on the rear window


238cc/200 injectors, 74mm s300 turbo, beans tunes, full fuel system, hpop, head studs, shimmed valve springs, push rods, dual fuel pumps, just the basics

 

585 is a bit high for 238 hybrids... What Hpop system?

Just curious, ya had a better answer then I expected...LOL

 

Gen 3

585 may just be a tad high, but I think there is just about enough fuel to get me there. I talked to Matt about it, he said 238/100 can just about make 550, and with my 200% nozzles it should get me pretty close if everything else is perfect. Did a compression test on the motor, all over 420 so the motor is in real good shape

 

Gen 3 should be more then enough oil...

585 should be pretty close! I would bump those hybrids up to a 250/200... but thats just me...

 

If it aint broke, don't need to fix it...
