I have a 2001 automatic tiburon and i was wondering what was out there that i could get to make my car fast. i thought of a turbo kit but, i thought with an automatic tranny it might not perform as well. yeah i have little knolege on this subject so any suggestions will be much help.

a torque convertor upgrade... tranny cooler will always help

I started to research torque converters. How do I know what one would be right for me, and were would be a good place to possibly buy one?

you would have to probably source one from one of the companies that bring parts over from korea.

www.kspec.com
www.real-engineering.com

if i were you though, i would swap the manual tranny in. it makes a world of difference, and is relatively simple.

Re: 2001 automatic can i make this fast

my father had the same car as me an he had it in manual , he said it was a lot quicker too. i have thought about doing the swap but i thought it wouldn't be worth it, and it would cost a lot more but for under a grand it seems worth it, have you had any problems or anything after doing your swap?
