Rebuild/Upgrade progress and Qs thread

Every trans is going to be weak if you abuse it. <- That's a period meaning this statement is done and no longer up for discussion

Can a TII trans handle more torque than an n/a trans? Yes. Have people used N/A trans' for drag racing with a bridgeported GT42? Yes. Would I put a TII trans in? Yes.

If you're looking for streetabilty, stay away from Bridgeports or halfies. Stick with a street port and a mild one at that. My primaries are ported pretty large but are still considered a mid-large street port and the idle is iffy at best. I spend more time tuning idles and creating all these obscure normal position and initial position tables AND using the PID control and last night I think I FINALLY got a decent idle. We'll see when I start her up cold this morning.

Ok, i know my thread has been dead for a while. but i've had a few bumps in the road lately (unemployed for a month, moving apartments among other things). But i'm still working on the 7. I have located a complete S5 engine/trans (N/A) and had a couple more Qs

basically, can i use the S5 and S4 to make a hybrid with the S5 intake and rotors while retaining the S4 electronics? I'd like to run the S5 rotors and manifold for the better HP gains N/A (add in a mild porting) but i haven't been able to find out if i have to go straight S5 or if i can put the S5 stuff together but utilize the S4 MOP and auxiliaries. (i also want the S5 so i have a choice of parts when i rebuild the motor this winter)

Assuming i can run the S5 internals and intake, is it necessary to upgrade the injectors or is there enough leeway in the stock fueling system to accommodate the HP bump?

If need be, DIYAutoTune now makes a Plug And Play MS that will plug into the S4 harness and all you have to do is take the S4 pinout and jumper it correctly internally. But i'd like to get it running on stock electronics before having to delve into a MS install and initial tune on a newly rebuilt motor.

Speaking of rebuilding. i have Atkins rebuild video but its not really that in depth. has anyone watched mazdatrix's rebuild and porting DVDs? are they worth it for a new rotorhead doing their first rebuild?
