Juss wondering, since my 00' cavy is auto...wat would have 2 be done so I could turbo the car?

Nomad76lj

should just be able to put one on from an after market suplier. have you done any other upgrades to the car?

Dyno_Man

so far, I got an air intake. I juss started moddin the car. So I should juss be able to bolt on a turbo kit even wit stock internals n everything? I kno im gonna need atleast exhaust.

Nomad76lj

i would do the exaust to but other then that normal stuff like better wires plugs all that. just with the stock motor i wouldent use alot of boost maby 5 or 6 pounds to start and see how the motor handles it.

Dyno_Man

kool, thnx for the info. I was thinkin bout the turbo idea but its 2 much money for now, especially since I juss started modding the car.

One thing that puzzles me....I kno manual cars have the flywheel, juss wonderin if autos have it 2...sorry bout the noob question but I am after all a newb to engine work.

Nomad76lj

no ? is a dumb one all cars have a flywheel standard and auto
its there to balence the motor and it is used to help start the motor. amy more ?s dont be afraid to ask.

Dyno_Man

so basically everything that can be done 2 a stick shift car can be done to an auto?

Nomad76lj

yup. you can do anything to your car with an auto that you could do with a stick shift.

Dyno_Man

wat bout tranny wise? I kno stick an auto are way different but I dont really kno the specifics of each of em.

Nomad76lj

with a stick shift when you put the car into first gear it does only that and nothing else untill u put it into 2nd. and so on. with an auto tranny when u put it into drive thats all u need to tell the car the car then changes gears by how fast or slow the car is going. also the auto uses the fluid to help change the gears and the stick can use fluid or mecanical leavers to change gears. also there are many more moving parts to an auto tranny then with a stick shift. hope this helps u a bit more.
