Wow!! I found it... Very Happy

The Subaru transmission is a technologically advance unit compared to most ones. The 4/5EAT (Electronic Automatic Transmission) uses a TCU (Transmission Control Unit) computer that works together with the ECU to control the shift points and increase fuel economy and transmission life span. Having said all of this (A lot of reading) our transmission can handle 350hp easily (regular t/oil change) but your major enemy would be HEAT, that’s why an oil cooler is important, you can also install and aftermarket transmission mount for better shifting ability.

If you are going for bigger HP here is a list of stuff you can do:

1. Shift kit (modified valve bodies)
2. Bushings need to be replaced to insure that the centerline of the transmission runs in perfect alignment with the centerline of the crankshaft.
3. Pinion shaft, the front differential ring gear and the planetary gear set undergo various metallurgical processes such as heat treating, Meta-Lax stress relieving, and cryogenic treatment (freezing them in liquid nitrogen at -300 degrees Fahrenheit to 'reset' the part's structure on the molecular level).
4. Seals and gaskets are changed to materials that are better able to cope with the heat and stress that is common in high powered applications.
5. Performance clutches and steel reaction plates are installed and their clearances set to much more exacting specifications than those that are used by the factory.
6. Correctly configured torque converter.
7. There are many other stuff that you can do as well.

Boy i dunno nah. I took out the limiter in my car.

All i know is the needle used to stick at 180kph and when i come off the accelerator it used to stay so for a good 7-8 seconds before it start to go down.

So i'm guessing about a 220kph or something. Shocked

Bacon · Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2009 11:15 pm Post subject:

Dais what we talking bout......Mine was tuned as well but I was not that brave to push it more than that with company.....I woulda get ban. Embarassed

I miss those days of the needle pointing due south.........just have to estimate and keep meh eye on the facking road Twisted Evil

90 k is for the stretch coming out my gap Twisted Evil

Is the limiter set at exactly 180 or past it

I getting a choking(the car eh) when I pass 180 closing in on about 200

legacy_specB · Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 8:31 am Post subject:

The limiter I think is set at 200kph that's why you feel the choking. Nah my rpms ain't reach so high more like 5400 rpms. So you was doing a lil more than 220kph Twisted Evil

Allyuh young boys only know cars with Km. I broke out with cars in mph so ole habits die hard.

LSpec B I know better than trying to get some brains working up in here Twisted Evil

Question.
I dont think finding out the top end on the car is to be done on the govt roads, we could do this on a dyno???

when on open road the velocity of the air at that speed cool everything down gr8, but when on a dyno that is not present and it increases the risk of someting breaking,
