Regarding 6A12TT

[Gringo]

Dear All Sifus, Masters, Dewas and OTAI

Need ur advice.....im considering to convert my engine to 6A12TT 4WD auto tranny. There are a few things that i need to know...
1. What is the pros & cons of this machine?
2. How is the fuel consumtion
3. Is 4WD auto or 4WD manual or 2WD auto or 2WD manual good?
4. What other engines that is suitable to replace?

Your help on this matter is very needed....

Adios,
gringo

I've used the 6A12tt auto before. I don't think 4wd can be approved as i'm asuming you want to convert to perdana. 2wd have to lock the gear box and the auto gear box tends to be un-satisfactory. Very jerky at gear changes. auto box also cannot withstand high hp so if you're gonna mod to high hp better go for MT. Juz my opinion :)

or can try 6a12 2.5 mivec, or 6a12 2.5 single T, or 6a12 mivec + turbo...
lot of combination...

the auto transmission that is produced for the eterna/galant TT models...should be withstanding the twin force inducted engine....as it was made for it.....on stock it should even come with a transmission oil cooler....i think...else..if dun have,..just add one...to keep a peace of mind....

i've seen a living proof of 7 year old 4WD Perdana Twin Turbo Auto.....

sorry mate, a lil' correction here....the 2.5 liter V6s are labelled as 6A13 not 6A12....and they are produced for the post 96 Galants which has the engine + gbox mounted in a opposite manner of the perdana...although possible to transplant....it'll be a hassle to do it as well as getting it approved...:)

The tourque converter was made for stock engine, 4WD. Not made to withstand moded high hp engines. Also to lock the 4 wheel differential also changes things....

hello.. tuned. check my www.ada-motorsports.com one of my project car just did the conversion of 2.5 with GT3037S. by bore it to 82mm plus changes of conrod and crankshaft, it is possible. even with water cooled intercooler.

E3 dude,

yes....if we were to put a TT engine with a NA auto gbox...yeah..it'll wreck it in no time.....but what i meant was the production auto-gbox that came stock with the TT engines....those are meant to withstand the force-inducted engine....

yeah locking the 4WD diff's changes things......as in power is only distributed to the two front wheels....more torque and under steer....that's it....reliability ain't really compromise...most of the time i guess it depends on the driver too...

no offence bout the earlier reply....just tot of noting my 2 cents..:)

georgett,

let me requote myself...

...although possible to transplant....it'll be a hassle to do it as well as getting it approved...:)

i know its possible..its just that its a not a plug and play kinda thing....and i dun think it'll be able to get thru JPJ that easily....

again..no offence....ya...

have nice day
