All i know is that it does have to do with the computer. Will update as soon as it is fixed and will try to get a detailed explanation.Pathfinder3.5 wrote:Could this possibly be the common 'Flare' issue on these R50's? If I remember correctly it's something to do with the transmission Computer. Mine has a slight delay from 2-3rd and im all stock!Alfredo24.pr wrote:Left the transmission at work for another week. Everything is good except some problem with the current that causes a delay only from 2nd to 3rd gear. Will update next saturday when I can try it out. All other gears are working great.
Shift kit: I do not know if this is the exact one that he installed but this is it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRANSGO-SK-RE4R ... 43a9f7cbadmiamiheat3332 wrote:What do you mean by "shift kit". Also could you get more info on the parts they are using? Since some of us will be considering this in the future and it would be great to know what parts where used.
I want to see the videos!!!! 0-60mph, 40-80mph pull, and maybe a 60-100mph!!
the shift kit is just to make it shift faster. i know it wont stop slipping. I know that new clutches were installed and higher voltage solenoids (or something like that) because the stock ones were weak at voltage in the 2nd to 3rd shift causing a slight delay. I'm sorry for sucking at all this mechanic stuff its just that I'm a busy college student :/CanuckQx4 wrote:You really dont know any of the parts that are going in?? I cant see a "shift kit" in the stock auto transmission make it stop slipping and hold
haha not me obviously cause im just 20...my parents help me pay for it. They pay about 70% lolmiamiheat3332 wrote:You must have a decent job in Puerto Rico to afford this. Especially paying for all the labor.
I will get some pics or video on friday/saturday when I get home to my pathyCanuckQx4 wrote:Well thats a bonus!!
I REAAAAAAALY wanna see the manifold and how he actually made the 2 banks of cylinders merge under the turbo
You really got no pics??
It boggles my mind how they could possible be merged in that tight area
lol ok. I will do my best to get a good pictureCanuckQx4 wrote:in my head, its gotta be a one piece manifold, combining both banks, but how the hell would u squeeze that in??. But im thinking the turbo might just be run off the drivers bank of cylinders
Warn me before you post pics, I may need a cleanup towel haha
Did you mean cant? It definetely can be done, alot of gmc's go that route. A local acquaintance of mine has a turbo jeep, turbod off just the 3 cylinders, running like 7-8psi I think. It aint no big HP car either, it was a tiny turbo, but it kept up to my old srt4 pretty good.miamiheat3332 wrote:and im pretty sure you can run a turbo off just one exhaust bank. 4 Bangers yes, but thats obviously cause they only have 1.




I will get them tomorrow. Here is an acceleration video. Kinda sucks at quality but at least sound is good.miamiheat3332 wrote:Close ups of the turbo and other piping up top.
still missing haltech, plus it was shifting on drive. forgot to use the "semiautomatic" for it to shift at 6500 since it shifts too early on drive :/miamiheat3332 wrote:Damn i like the vid, its not tuned all the way yet either? Should be better once it is.
last time I checked it was something related to oxygen sensor when I installed k&n intake long time ago...I will tell my friend to scan for it since he has the device and let you know.Towncivilian wrote:Damn, that's cool! What's the code(s) that are causing the service engine soon light? I'm curious.
