Calling all BT guys...

[E Dub]

OK guys, here is the deal... The wife has finally let loose on her "no more power" chain and is allowing me to go BT (with all the extra goodies that go with it...)

Here is the issue that I have. I have a TIP.... yeah, yeah I know... I suck... Anyway... will the TIP Tranny hold up with a GT28RS?? 034 Motorsports seems to think it will. Any and all advice is GREAT!! I will be gone for 7 months to Iraq, so I have enough time to get the proper parts, etc...

[A4ringedONE8T]

Sure will, just take it easy

[eg6siR]

it should hold up just fine as long as you dont beat the hell out of it... i believe IPT makes performance torque converters and valve bodys for the TIP trans.. http://www.importperformancetrans.com/

so that way you could beat the hell out of it.

^^ Wow only $4600... I will jump right on that... LoL

You'll be fine. Even if you beat the shit of the tranny. A valve body upgrade will get you crisper shifts and an upgraded torque converter will allow you to put more power to the ground because the stock torque converter will slip on purpose.

Here's my dyno from last year. Notice how the torque suddenly drops off around 5300 RPM's. Yeah, the the torque converter saying "ummmmm, no!":

read my thread... i started few threads and my most recent one is me doing a GTRS... and u dont need the WHOLE tranny upgrade like RLB6 said all u need it TQ and valve body later. do TQ first... with the GTRS setup dont need a TQ.... i have spoken and met with a lot of GTRS Owners... and they beat the crap out of their car.. and its running fine. =)

Your torque dropped at 5300 because that is where is suppose to drop! It crosses HP at 5250 and falls from there.

That's not entirely true. There are plenty of dynos where torque is continuing to increase and other that start to fall way before that 5250 point. Also, look at how quickly torque fell on my dyno as compared to yours.

You fall off at almost the exact same rate. His looks like it falls off slower because of the scale on the graph. You can scale a graph to make it look long or tall.


At 6500 you are down to 220 from your peak of 250.... 88%

At 6500 he is down to 260 from his peak of 300.... 87%

Get it?

I see your point. Didn't realize that. . Still, a tiptronic equipped A4 will slips its TQ when a certain power level/torque is attained. Period.

[E Dub]

ok, so I will have slip, but will there be any major issues?? Guessing not...

[E Dub]

Ok, so here is the new question...

Can I got APR Stage 3+ with a TIP and not have issues??

[A4ringedONE8T]

Either BT setup will yield the same results from the tranny

[E Dub]

The reason I ask is...

APR seems to think it won't hold... However 034, and you guys seem to think it will...

[A4ringedONE8T]

It will hold with BT power, its been proven already on multiple cars. Is it going to be ideal, no

[E Dub]

Great, thanks
