Would it be better to get a manual or automatic 350z if I thinking of putting a turbo in? What are the advantages or disadvantage over one or the other?
Answer
GET A MANUAL. This should even be a choice if you plan on racing. The manual shift mode help the auto a bit, as does the rev matching downshift feature depending on the year, but ultimately the torque converter delays your inputs, softens your engine braking and basically makes it impossible to maximize the potential of any chassis. If you plan on drag racing and nothing else, then please accept my apology. A slushbox is perfectly suited to that. A Camaro would be better, but your Z will do just fine. More bad news however would be that an auto can only handle the extra torque from a turbo kit if the engine management for the turbo doesn't lie to the transmission controller. Most turbo kits trim the MAF signal to increase the amount of airlow the system can handle before the MAF tops out. The problem is the auto trans uses rpm and MAF to estimate how much torque the engine is making and then adjusts the shift firmness. With a trimmed MAF signal on a turbo kit, the engine will be making WAY more torque while the tranny thinks you're barely hitting it. As a result it will do a pansy-a$$ soft shift, which will cause the trans to slip under the huge load your actually giving it. There are three solutions however.
1. Use a kit that doesn't trim the MAF signal. You'll be fairly limited in how much boost you can run though...maybe 6psi...forever.
2. SGP Racing in Houston sells an upgraded 350Z Tranny that uses larger servo pistons to increase band tension on the slushboxes clutches, prevent the slippage that kills the stock auto. This is a $4000 solution.
3. GET A MANUAL.
Hope that helps you choose the correct transmission!
