YES

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

with proper fuel management, and an engine that you know you took care of, i would have no problem running 15psi daily, only real problem i can see will be traction. but you need to use your best judgement, like dont beat the **** outa the car ALL the time, lol

I would not do it unless you have good fuel management (monitor with wide band A/F meter 11:1 see AEM UGEO) and some way to keep out detonation and keep the EGTs low with that mentioned the stock pistons rods and crack should be ok but I wouldnt count on the bearings and it depends on how while you have taken or taking care of the engine. Also I think at a daily street driven 15psi the internals of the Manual Transmission (MTX) needs to be beefed up as well, maybe some cryo treatment to the gears. You could get away with a stock trans if you don't run to super heavy duty clutch and allow the clutch to slip a little, but that means replacing the friction disc often depending on how you drive. If you have a ATX I have no idea what the auto transmission is capable of.

THEGOLDPRO is right, torque steer and especially wheels hop are problem with the PROs so some attention needs to be applied to the suspension, differential, axles, and type of rubber used.

 

[Mr. Win]

so MIA want to feel us in on how you blew your tranny?

 

[mazpro]

you blew your tranny? how?

 

[Shane5425]

to much power, makes auto go boom boom..

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

time for a manual tranny swap.

 

[Mr. Win]

^yep

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

which i also think is long overdue

 

[MIA protege]

hey hey ... i dont think im going manual so shoot me lol ... im ordering tranny from lentech ... i dont know how i blew it

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

damn d0od just go manual, lol you can prolly buy a manual tranny, and have it installed for alot less then your gonna pay for the auto one.

 

[Protege2K]

Exactly, not sure why you are so attached to having a FI auto car?

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

hmmmmmm i was wondering the same thing maybe he cant drive a stick.

 

[Protege2K]

I've ridden in a few automatic turbo cars, and I just can't possibly imagine how someone would want to keep that setup. I could understand if your auto was still in good condition and you just didn't want to go through the trouble, but you have a perfect opportunity right now to make you car much better to drive. *shrugs*

 

[THEGOLDPRO]

yeah i dunno, i always loved your car mia, just the automatic turned me off from it please do us all a favor and just tranny swap it, lol

 

[MIA protege]

lol ... im doing what i wanna do. i dont feel like learning to drive stick at this point.

greg i didnt know a FI car has to be stick ... get over it. its not ur car
