Looking to do an exhaust and intake wanted to know if its a bad idea for an automatic tranny

 

Shouldn't have any negative effects if that's what you're asking. Better throttle response and a louder car. Congrats on the pick up too.

 

Howdy and welcome! There are a lot of good options for our cars, do you have any specific in mind to choose from?

 

I had an Audi A4 before this and my intake exhaust and chip killed my tranny so just dont want to ruin the automatic

 

I have auto tranny and I got a cold air intake and Borla full cat back and there is no issues, these cars are designed for sport as long as u install them right and disco the neg battery connector while u install u will b fine since the ECU and A/F adjusts itself it's only if u start going big like plenum spacers etc that u will need a retune.

Btw welcome buddy to the G family post some pics

 

is that with the highflow cats or just a cat back how much power can the auto tranny handle with out any major problems

 

this is true


not necessarily, the stock ECU can only adjust to a point, and its always basing it off of the preset values the factory set. An intake and exhaust is by no means going to blow up your motor, but I guarantee that the A/F isn't where it would optimally be.

As long as you service it properly the auto tranny is pretty stout, you will not have any problems no matter how many bolt-ons you get. The thing that can kill your tranny is:

1)Not maintaining it with regular fluid changes
2)hard downshifts (this is what kills the boosted guys, not keeping it in manumatic mode and hitting boost in drive, it downshifts right when all the torque hits and that breaks things)

If you want the transgo valvebody upgrade is an awesome upgrade, condenast78 got his done recently and LOVES it. PM him or try and hit him up at a local meet for a ride along if you want to feel an auto tranny that can shift .

All that being said, welcome

 

so basically exhaust, intake, maybe headers and high flow cats should be fine on my transmission

 

Welcome and Yep, just make sure when do a fluid flush u use Nissan Fluid. VERY important

 

you will have absolutely no issues with your transmission (because of these mods lol)

but if you do all those you'll want to look into an Osiris dyno tune for the ECU, you'll see the most benefit from syncing the throttle by wire, advancing the timing, and calibrating the A/F.
And include a plenum spacer in the list, 5/16" or 3/8" is the most popular

 

yea total noob status have no clue what u just said

 

parts and tweeking the computer to take advantage of the parts and hidden power of the car.

 

where do i get that done is there a local tune shop

 

Intec Racing in Kent is the local authority on VQ's! (thats the motor in our cars lol)
