Turbo on an automatic?
Hey guys,
As most of you know, over here we dont get G37s with manual transmition, and i want to know if in the future when i want to TT my G will the AT handle the turbo?

It can definitely handle a turbo, but only to a certain extent. Even a manual can only handle so much without doing a tranny build.
TerryCS here has a 2nd Gen G35 Sedan, and he has twin turbos on a slightly modded AT, and he can boost up to 400hp on stock internals.

you can do it. you will need to do some transmission upgrades. definitely recommend a valve body upgrade. also a transmission cooler and torque converter are helpful.

Thanks for the input guys!
To tell you the truth i dont really know! they do have 350z in MT but not the G35/G37, i think there are a few that buys them over here, and they just got the ATs to be safe
Good to hear! dont want to be in that situation 
WOW great results there, its good to know that it could be done with small modifications!

Overall The RE5R01A Trans is a stout unit. With a minimum upgrades like the valve body mod and the a trans cooler, You should expect a good service life out of it, Even with a twin turbo set up, The key is to perform the valve upgrade as soon as or before installing the TT set up .
