Title : Toyota U151E upgrade
Hi John and IPT crew,
I'm planning to make some "crazy" upgrade on my car. I want to boost my 2006 Toyota Solara SE V6 up with a centrifugal S/C with around 8-10 PSIg. I want to make it slowly but wisely and upgrade all the components who will take the extra power stress. I made some google search about how I could upgrade my U151E (really slushy tranny) to make it possible. I'm pretty concern about the slipping time between shift and also about how much power stress a factory U151E tranny can take. Since, it is not a popular platform for serious tuner, I'm stuck with my question until I fall right on your website. Here are my questions.
Based of your Toyota auto tranny page
http://www.importperformancetrans.com/toyotaauto.shtml - The 3375$ kit does it include an extra whole new highly upgrade U151E tranny ?? My first thought was I had to bring my car and/or sotck U151E tranny to your facilities and you were about to tottaly upgrade it, is that it ?? Or it is like buying a whole new tranny ??
What are the day to day befenits of buying this over just a VB upgrade + tranny cooler ?
What kind of power & boost, if I can ask that way, this upgrade will let me safely go to ?
Do the stock ECU will see something wrong with it, oil pressure and anything else that can bring CELs ??
- Under the big kit I can read you have solution if we seek for a shift kit. (last item in the Valve Bodies category)
Do this upgrade will let me having more safe whp ? (less slippage = colder tranny = more safe whp ?)
If I go this route, what size of tranny cooler you suggest me, in the Other category, to go with ? Does it make a huge difference on the size ?
What you recommand me to go with this VB+TC combo ? What a custom torque converter will give me (main purpose of it) ?
Again, do the stock ECU will see something wrong with it, oil pressure and anything else that can bring CELs ??
That are my questions for now. Again, I'm serious in my project mostly because it is a rare setup to start with. But if you offer something to help it, is that my whole idea make sense, isn't it ?
I will be happy to make you part of my project.
