Gearbox swap for Airtrek

[beemer72]

Hi Guys

Is it possible to swap Airtrek NA 4spd auto gearbox to 5spd auto gearbox from the turbo version?

i think its not possible since the turbo version ECU shares management for engine and gearbox.. why not just swap the whole engine..

Then need half cut and a lot of paper work. Probably he just want to swap gb less headache.....lol

well swapping to turbo gearbox has more headache rather than just swap the whole engine.. its all plug n play.. everything is straight swap including bodykits..
and the N/A Body already 2.0 so it wont have major issues on registration.

Get a runner to do it then, you get your 5 speed and loads of power to come with it......lol

yea.. can use runner(of cos have to pay) or just do it yourself. not poisoning u to do a turbo engine swap.. but its a good option to think about. reconditioned gbox not really cheap, turbo r halfcut getting cheaper now bcos most of airtrek turbo owner just looking for upgrades to evo parts rather than airtrek. and if u think u concern on FC, get it reflash tuning for better FC.

[^pomen_GTR^]

there is not a single day driving boosted ride and not getting into boost...

atleast must be a few light pulls to overtake other vehicle and booSTIn'
