Mr2 Turbo

[ToyotaTosh]

Was the turbo ever available with an auto box ? ? ??

[Roytoner]

Never seen one!

Think it would defeat the object a bit though

Then again they made the Beams auto.

[ToyotaTosh]

do you think it could be done??? maybe splicing the loom for the box or puttin the engine in an auto ?

'Or could it be too powerful for the box ?? ie boost

plz share info :bookworm:

can i ask why??

id find it boring not being able to choose when to upshift and when to downshift

[JappyBeast]

I also wonder why anyone wants an auto tubby, dont think it can be done as so many parts are different between the na auto/non auto... I wouldnt even want to get started on the turbo!..lol.

I'd have though a GTE block would break an Auto fairly quickly .. the torque would be too much.

BUT .. the auto off a soop would fit. Dunno how much fabrication would be needed, but they'll take about 600 lb/ft ..

thought autos were generally stronger than manuals?

the auto box was never designed for the turbo, so it may be stronger than the n/a box but the turbo box will be stronger.

fair do's

mind you the E153 box was specially built for the turbo i think...

Pretty sure they never made an Auto Turbo from Toyota.

Could be useful for a disabled person (just thinking of all reasons etc)...

Sure it could be done but as said wouldn't use an MR2 auto box as won't last 2 secs... Could eb an embarrasing attempt at a 1/4 mile

Might be difficult finding an ECU that would cope with the turbo mill and the electronic auto 'box.

But i know insurance companies arent the clerest when it comes to cars!
