Depends how hard you treat it,

A standard manual apparently can't withstand sustained abuse from a standard ET

good point...

[zxocmars]

I think I read somewhere, (here or zxoc) that a standard auto should be good for upto 350hp under "normal" conditions

Not sure if that's true though

i think the silvia god says around 200bhp before it starts to slip, my auto box must be shot as it slips @ 12psi with just an airfilter mod

who ever started that rubbish off either has never checked/serviced there gearbox oil and cant change gear properly.

Also i have never read anywhere about an s12 autobox handling 350hp. I would trust silviagods experience here. sorry if this sounds rude,i dont mean it too be

[Oscar]

i shall also then! Cheers

TBH my autobox couldn`t handle 200bhp . The gearbox couldn`t cope with the kickdown. I had the box fully reconditioned too and it still let me down.

I would definately go the manual route, if you are looking at higher power outputs.

well im hoping 2 do the sr20, sometime in the future, but 2 save hassle felt like doing the det conversion 4 now, with auto as i can get nearly everything 4 free or very cheap. And do the manual when i do the sr,

[old-and-rusty]

I guess if the parts aren`t going to cost much it`s not too bad if the autobox goes boom ...LOL... As long as you are careful with the kickdown, you should be okay. My box used to expire when I got to eager with the right foot...LOL....

I never hear anyone about the power transistor (DIS-4 modulle)
I found out that its not on the engine loom but on the chassis loom.
Cant figure out how to hook that up.
