what the fuck is a transmission turbo?


his car is lighter even with the subs. your car weighs about 3000lbs. his car is considerably newer. you dont think your f22a6 is still making 140hp do you? his car was also marketed as a sporty model. the transmission is very likely geared with that in mind.

also what transmssions do you guys have? auto or manual?

what the fuck is a transmission turbo?

A transmission turbo is just the name of the transmission. Has nothing to do with turbo. For instance, GM's Turbo Hydramatic 700R4 transmission.

He has a 2003. You have a 1992. Almost a 10 year age difference. Technology has made a lot of progress in 10 years. If you want to race you have to open up your wallet and get the stuff needed. I know you put on headers, intake, exhaust. That alone is not going to help you win races.

ehh.. don't know about you guys but I never had any problems with those lancers in my old CB.

You had 140 crank hp 15+ years ago.
You probably have closer to 105whp now.

[cb7greenie]

yea i guess you right, anyone know little specs thatcould help me make progress into bringing more life into my cb7..my front wheel bearings are bad and my left cv boot is torn could tht have an effect on its performance

swap in an h23 transmission and you should be able to do a bit better. also do a full tune-up if you haven't already. but you will need to spend some money if you want to destroy him.

you should probably get new wheel bearings before you do anything else,
there are a lot of little things you can do to improve performance like an H23 intake mani, h23 transmission, bigger exhaust, etc

Do you really expect numbers from 15 years ago to stand true today? Have to factor in wear and tear on the car, lack of proper maintanance, driving style, transmission, condition of roads, and tire wear, You should owe your car 5-10 HP...

[cerealkiller93]

there is alot of factors to take in sir,
weight, gearing, traction, etc all mentioned above.
To top it all off driver has more to do with it then anything.

2003 Lancer OZ Factory Specs:
0-60 mph 9.71 seconds
1/4 mile 17.10 seconds

1992 Accord EX Factory Specs:
0-60 mph 9.8 seconds
1/4 mile 17.4 seconds

After 16 years, you should be happy you're keeping up with him!

I drive the Lancer OZ on Need for Speed and Hell yeah those cars can haul ASSSphault!!! Like I said before if you really want to race you have to open you wallet!

I eat them alive and i'm f22a1 with a4 headers and stage 2 clutch running 17" wheels and a big wing, i made 16.4 in 1/4 mile, so just like somebody said before, it's all about the driver

P.S. search at what rpms does the torque work on both cars and when it runs out, that might help you on the starting line, example I launch my cb7 in 2000 rpms and 2500 max and it's enough to have good start....
