Going Insane!!!

[Dr.Mambo666]

My problem is this i've finaly got the jist of what i'm going to do to my car, but with one problem!!! I've been looking for a performance transmission for hours. I have a 99 2.2l and the tranny is a 4t40e, but i can't seem to find one if in fact one does exist(i hope they do) please help before i go completly mad!!!

Try the B&M Shiftplus. There really isnt a performance tranny for you. But that will firm up your shifts and increase the pressure.

Other than that, you should be able to modify the 4t45-E to fit in there as well. I'm just not sure if the electronics in the J-body will be able to tell it to shift correctly or not. But I know it's easy to get in the car.

Your best bet is to do one of three things:

1. Lower your power goal to something that the stock transmission can handle

2. Swap an engine out of the Cobalt or something that has a stronger tranny available

3. Save your money until you have a better platform to start from. You could easily buy a Honda and boost it....that would be an inexpensive way to start. If you have enough money and you want to stay with something similar to your Cavalier, look at a Cobalt SS. I would immediately ditch the SC and boost it though....

SC is a form of forced induction...thus the word "Boosted" refers to SC and Turbos...

well i use the word boost to refer to a form of FI that actually is fun on a 4 cylinder. I really dont like the idea of supercharging one because the few supercharged 4cylinders ive been in are lame....turbos are the only way to go

You kids nowadays, always thinking that a supercharger and a turbocharger and two things that can't go together...

That was a gorgeous Ion Redline I saw set up like that.

^^oh yes, laugh at me because i must not know what i'm talking about.....its not like i've ever built a turbo car before. I dont even know what a supercharger looks like....i must be so dumb....

If you're just going to make stupid posts, keep your mouth shut

Dont be an ass. By looking at your post you're going to keep doing it.

A) You can boost a car by supercharger pretty darn well. Everyone knows this. On my car i'm down to deciding if I want Centrifugal, or Roots for a blower.

B) No matter what you use, it always turns out lame when you just throw stuff on the car. Using an incorrectly matched turbo is a real good way to do this. And actually, it's really quite common for people to do.

C) The stock 4t40e max input TQ is 325 ft/lbs. You're not going to get to that on stock internals

But... I see that you have a GSR with turbo. And you know what.. I have nothign against the Honda world. I have a lot of friends with Honda's. I like Honda's. But it's retards like you that act like you do, that make EVERYONE look bad. So just keep your mouth shut from now on.

thanks

What do you mean you cant find a shifter? Why do you need a shifter?

I was looking for a shifter to get rid of the stock 1 thats all
