Ivan280zt Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Something that is going to make your car put that damn power down and it comes in form of two speed ? Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 If you are refering to the cylindrical object in the upper left section of the top photo it is a solenoid to activate a transmission brake on an automatic trans. One wire goes to ground; the other to power via a momentary switch. When activated, the unit locks 1st and reverse gears allowing the engine to be revved to the limit of the torque converter. Then when the switch is released the gears instantaneously disengage and allow high rpm launch for drag-racing. Hope this explains it!!

240Z Turbo Posted May 23, 2004 Author Share Posted May 23, 2004 Hanns, Thanks for the information. The title was sort of a joke. This is the new powerglide tranny I put behind my twinturbo L28. It is was built by BTE and has a transbrake and full manual valve body. I use an Art Carr 9.5" billet converter and Quarterstick II shifter. I have to fab the tranny mount, driveshaft and redo the exhaust. Should be running in 3-4 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Meister Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 That's a good trans combo. I'm looking forward to seeing what times you turn with your TT set-up. Hanns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
