Supposedly there is a TransGo shift kit for the RE4R01A.
Cost is a mere $52.85...
I called TransGo today, but I called regarding a "custom" shift kit. The lady said no, sorry. When I asked her if there is absolutely no one whom I'd be able to talk to, she said well you can call tech support if you want. She gave me their number... which was wrong. I was in a rush and had to go otherwise I woulda called her back and made sure the # she gave me was right.
Anywho, TransGo is highly recommended for their shift kits. Would you be able to ask John the difference between his kit and a TransGo kit?

Increase the performance of your transmission, without doing a level ten upgrade..
Corey....that is my guess also that I am getting about 0.1 secs quicker shifts at least with my L10 transmission...but how much more than 0.1secs is difficult to determine. I can say that from my own experience that my transmission shifts a lot quicker than both my OEM and rebuilt transmission.
Given the new lower gearing with the 92 transmission, I know that I will need to shift twice before I reach the 1/4 as before in my OEM 95 transmission I only needed 1 shift. With a JWT TCU...this should eliminate the need for the second shift. Before the L10 upgrade...I needed only 1 shift as my trap speed was a pathetic 88mph and my 95 transmission shifted at 93mph. Now the 92 transmission shifts right at 89-90 mph and the car feels much quicker than before. I need Mother Nature to not rain on my a$$ the next time I go to the 1/4 track to test out my new mods.
I will take a 0.1 sec improvement and a few MPH any day over what was quoted earlier as the mods to the valve body will produce insignificant reductions in 1/4 times.

Rob,
Im not sure if you saw this post from q45tech
its interesting regarding custom exhausts
More than 10 HP gain is really difficult to get from exhausts, if you go with JWT ecu you can gain a full 10 HP from 6,300-7,300 rpm because the oem designers didn't worry about back pressure above 6400-6500 rpm where the shifts took place and power was already reduced by tcu.

Yea, as said earlier, most of the improvement is coming from the TC..
Still for 600 bucks to get quicker/firmer shift feel from a l10 upgrade is a nice deal for me..
Transgo.. I see nothing but domesitc applications on their website
Im highly skeptical of something that costs 50 bucks..
I dont think you could possibly sell a new valveline body and an electronic solenoid for that.. even at cost.
Corey: your clarification makes sense... thanks...

Ryan, I was thinking much the same thing as you. $50 seams awfully cheap (read unreal)... even just for a few parts. Apparently TransGo did make a few import kits which they don't display on their website. At least I've found a couple elsewhere on the net... *shrug*
I'm curious if Dennis was being conservative in that estimate. I was told there is a 4-5% gain for a particular JDM aftermarket exhaust.

Ryan...
I did see the discussion about custom exhuasts....and as my insane drive to get a 300rwhp NA Q45 continues....Every little bit helps. I would shutter to think that I did not achieve 300rwhp at the expense of an exhaust modification. Litterally I am pulling just about every trick of the trade to try to get 300rwhp or break the 14sec 1/4 mile barrier. Either one achieved I will be satisfied and the 14sec barrier is my real ultimate goal.

In regards to our complete transmissions, the units that we build are stateof the art. If you look on our website, many of the modifications andspecial things that we do (but certainly not all) are listed. I have beenworking with these transmissions since they were new and we have a reallygood handle on what is required to make them as strong as they can possiblybe.
Also, as I said before, I'm really not in the business of talking about mycompetitors. If you were to browse the web, there are some horror storiesgoing around if were to look among the Supra, Honda and DSM communities inregards to their experiences with other shops. You would be extremely hardpressed to find anything at all negative written about IPT, as we run anethical business and put out good products.
I'm always a little discouraged when I lose a job to a shop that simply liesto their customers to get sales (I'll spare you the examples, but if a shopwere to make dubious claims, the truth wouldn't surface until after thepurchase was made). I definitely lose work by being honest and realisticwhen discussing our products.
If you would like, take a look at some of the forums (use their searchfeature for IPT or Import Performance Transmissions) where we do a lot ofwork for the members- yotatech.com , tacomaterritory.com , 3si.org ,dsmtalk.com , dsmtuners.com ,etc. You will find nothing but lots of happycustomers and positive feedback.

Concerning your other question about the speed of the shifts, in simpleterms, although a stock type shift may be elongated, that's not to say thatthe vehicle will lose a substantial amount of momentum during that time,especially at heavier throttle openings. If you have a baseline 1/4 miletime for your vehicle and can find similar weather conditions, I supposethat you could do a before and after comparison with the modified vb, butagain, I'm not sure that there is a measurable difference. I'd love for youto prove me wrong in that respect.
I hope that I was able to answer all of your questions.
Anyway, I hope to talk to you soon.Regards, John

Corey,
Unfortunately he is not very enthusiastic about group buy pricing. He said he frenquently encounters people who want his services, but don't follow through when the moneys are do.
I can't say as I blame him in this regard. It's very difficult to get people to commit to group buys in general.
He said he would consider it for 10. I have a FEELING IF we had the money for 5 at one time, he would offer us a group buy deal.
That's just my opion, but I think he has been burned to many times. I've set up group buys myself and the results have been frustrating to say the least. It's just difficult to do. If we had the money all together, I would venture to guess he would consider a deal. I am now repeating myself.. lol
Anyway, luckily my car is coming with a spare blown transmission. I am going to use this for the valve body core..
It won't be here for about another month or so, but I think this will be one of my first mods. This and the active suspension controller. I have my eyes on the CF driveshaft as well. Those will be my primary mods, and probably returning to an OEM intake. Luckily the car has everything else I need..
Come on 250 RWHP

Ryan.....what is taking so long for your car to arrive??? Just curious and I am anxious to hear all about and see pics when you get it.
The CF driveshaft thing is still in the works as I am still waiting to hear back from Pete. He was out of the office today. Should be responding tomorrow and I will post the prices for the group buy.

A combination of two things. 1. Instead of selling my car, I'm giving to my dad for free. I am going to restore it here and there when I have time.
2. I got nabbed for $1,200 from the DMV. Cop nailed me for a ticket, and then didnt give me the actual ticket.. I figured he would discard it when he realized his error (this was wishfull thinking) so I did nothing.. I then got a nasty little notice from the DMV..
So from the combo of ordering all these parts getting killed at the dmv and not selling my car, I had to extend everything by one month.
This wait has surely been horrible. Although this car has been good motivation. I was unemployed when I found out about it, and basically took a job so I could get it
I'm making final payment on the 28th. It will then be delivered to dependable auto shippers on the 11th or so.. another two weeks it will be mine.
End of june for sure..
I have to put in the 4.08 (they put the orig diff in, why im not sure)
So I'll have a 92 core if anyone wants it..
Do a complete fluid change all around, rail flush.. tb cleaning.. new spark plugs, perhaps all new hoses..
Even though it has low miles I want to to get it running 100% perfect. Remove the roll cage, recarpet the interior.. Floormats/trunk mat.. New hood with emblem.. Remove all stickets.. tint windows.. replace stereo..
Valve body/electronic solenoid mod for the trannyactive suspension controllerCF driveshafthopefully headers
I am awfully tempted to sell it once I get it all fixed up and pretty.. Maybe get a new M.. not sure..
I want to see just how good the suspension flows with the rest of the car.. If it's as good as I am thinking it is, I'lll probably never sell it..

Oh yes how can I forget.. Restore the entire HVAC system from nothing.. Well not nothing.. It has the condensor remaining which was used to cool the transmission.. I am thinking it will be to dirty to use.
Luckily AZskygod had a brand new compressor and clutch assembly for sale, at a great price.
Dr Q should be able to supply the remaining components from his parted out Q..
No way I'm going without AC in the AZ summer.. that's for sure..

I could have sped all this up, but I didn't want to use money I didn't have.. IE credit cards.. Got myself into that trouble once, won't do it again.. Didn't feel like liquidiating anything in my portfolio.. espically not now..
Once I get the car, I can't guarantee my implulsive behavior won't lead me to go crazy

we all understand and I can't wait to hear/see your car when it arrives. After the amount of monies I have put into my car...my car is going to be a really nice second car within the next year and will do nicely when I need a sedan versus a convert.
BTW...I just found out that my 4.08 arrived at the dealer today. Ugghh!!! I had requested it be sent to my house as the dealer is really picky about storing parts. Now the dealer is giving me crap about storing it for 2 weeks when I just got done spending $4,000+ with them less than a month ago. I will have a friend pick it up for me if I have to.
This sucks but will be worth while once all done.

I can't believe they would possibly complain about storing a part, when you spent that much money..
That's exactly why I decided to save my current Q and give to my dad.. Restore it later
I bought this Q for 6,000 in Janurary of 2k3.. It had JUST came off of extended warranty, which is I'm sure why this guy was selling it.. Not a bad decision on his part..
I put about 40,000 miles on it last year, but the maintenance costs were brutal.. I had to replace so much stuff
AlternatorRadiator/ThermostatFuel PumpA few injectorsKnock SensorsCompletely rehash the brakesother stuff I Cant remember
some other stuff. I took it to euro imports which is a T3 like shop.. so I got a good deal on the parts and labor 7-8k..
I just couldn't justify selling it for like 3-4k when I put so much money into it. I'd rather keep it and fix it up.. Qs are reliable vehicles, but there is no ignoraing the fact parts must be replaced eventually..
All in all it was still worth it. Driving all the time can be tedious in a crappy car, in the Q it was easy..
I feel sorry for these people who spend all the money on maintenance and then ditch the car.. What a BAD investment
Corey,
I think I recollected you being interested in the roll cage.. When I get the car I'll take detailed pics for you.. I'm fairly certain I am going to have it removed, and the interior recarpeted.
What's the status of your active suspension? Hopefully you can get it functioning, and get that Datasystem active suspension controller installed on it!!

ryan...I still have no idea on what you are calling a "unit". Thanks for scouring the auctions, but I have no idea what you are searching for????
yeah....the dealer does not want to take liability for anything happening to it...including installing it into another Q45 by mistake. Go figure. I am probably going to have one of my friends pick it up for me.

Here is an all stainless exhaust system, from junction produce..
http://www.junction-produce.co....html
If you don't like the tips, you could probably change them with any of the ones on the yahoo jp auctions.. They have a real sexy one with two tips and carbon inserts.. god I love that one.. 300 or 400 just for the muffler/tip portion I think
Translate the junction produce site directly into babelfihs, it should work..
If you scroll down to the bottom, it has soundclips of the exhaust!
