huh?!? ur swapping a auto out for another auto???

**JDMJAYDC2** · 02-28-2009, 11:44 AM

Yep! if its a fully built level 10 tranny that is rated to hold 550 hp

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uduxKlpVA4Q
update start up vid posted it was dark and we were tired me,bigdare23, and ej1soslow

i am smiling from ear to ear as i type this it took me almost 3 years to get to the point i am at now i have in my car a fully built level 10 automatic transmission ill post the install pics and then talk more about it im so excited!!!

the whole process took a whole weekend

day1
we got the car up on two jack stands and removed my axels which needed replacement so off to autozone for a new set. I also took the money pit out of the box and bubble wrap that it came in from level 10 and placed it on the ground

here is a shot of two of my friends bigdare 23 and ej1soslow that i use for free labor lol we were getting the tranny ready to drop down and taking this time to spray all my rusty bolts with pb blaster

once we got that out of the way we were ready to drop the tranny this is when the ball joint spliter came in handy

finally out and on the ground side by side my fully built level 10 trans on the right and my jdm auto gsr tranny on the left

closer shot of the beast

after some lunch and long nite of cleanup and fun we got a early start in the am for the install here is a shot of the torque converters side by side the level 10 was alot heavier

we also had to swap some sensors over from the jdm one over to the level 10 as some didnt reach the connectors
again free labor ftmfw lol here is ej1soslow who is supposed to be swapping out the sensors but instead is whore n up ia and bigdare23 doing his mj impression

we were losing daylight so we got back to work

used the rest of these and back in the car she went

and the finished project

next on my list is a treadstone turbo kit or either some spray i freakin love this thing it pulls from the line so hard that it chirps ive turned back into a ricer for a little bit

**BeastRodeo** · 02-28-2009, 11:48 AM

**JDMJAYDC2** · 02-28-2009, 11:51 AM

Oh lol. My bad, Couldnt tell, since we cant see much of the motor.
Nice man.

Looks like hes gonna kick the sidekick out of his hand! LOL.

How much does he pay a month? I never checked how much it is, I just got a Slide. Sorry for thread jack.

**BITCHING** · 02-28-2009, 11:57 AM

WELL IF YOU LIKE AUTO THATS ALL YOU . I TAKE A 5 SPEED ANYDAY. ONE MORE THING IF THE TRANSMISSON IS GOOD FOR 500HP WHY IN YOUR RIGHT MIND DONT YOU GET SOME CV JOINTS FROM SOMEWERE BESIDES AUTO ZONE

**JDMJAYDC2** · 02-28-2009, 12:27 PM

i see no point in ugrading axels right now as my motor is stock and very low mileage once the bolt ons continue and i prepare my car for boost i will upgrade axels but i know several ppl running autozone axels and running well over 250 hp i dont plan on going any higher than 300 so i think im safe

**j0natell0** · 02-28-2009, 01:40 PM

nice work man. i love that teg

**HachiDori** · 02-28-2009, 01:43 PM

Whats the point of a 500hp capable tranny if you aren't going past 300?

Congrats on the upgrade i guess, car is clean though

the same can be said about converting a lhd to rhd....

the tegs perfect though, but gotta be honest this is the first built auto honda ive seen....is this more prevalent than i know of?

Not its not, completely irrelevant. RHD to some people is a perk.

Having to do with power upgrades and spending money extra money buying something you are not going to use keeping in mind he said he does not want to exceed 300hp is pointless. It would have been cheaper for him not to, and spend the money saved on another part of the build. Maybe forced induction, and or suspension...

LOL ive seen 600 whp d and b series running autozone axles

the same reason people build their engines to handle 800+hp but detune it to 500-600hp for reliability... sure it can handle 500hp.. but for how long? with 300hp will last forever and be incredibly reliable.. i'd say that was a good move since he wanted to stay automatic

**JDMJAYDC2** · 02-28-2009, 03:46 PM

^^^ said it before i could post it i overbuild just about everything i own i either have a extra set or its gonna be built to handle the abuse im going to give it. As stated above the autozone axles are lifetime warr. so why go out and buy the more expensive ones when i start popping these bad boys then i will look into the upgrade. the motor is a very fresh low mileage motor from hmotors so its perfect for the boost im going to throw at it sure i could do a 5 spd swap but eh id be like every other integra with a jdm front.

imagine how pissed your gonna be after you pull over after a run with a car and you look inside and see it in the P postion lol very pissed and thats what im going for

the tranny will hold 550 hp as it sits im shooting for 300 anymore than that and im going to have traction issues. I will have plenty of room for mistakes with the extra room i have for advancement of hp. thanks for all the replies

**FasTech** · 02-28-2009, 04:13 PM

Your Integra is nice, and having a built auto tranny is something I haven't seen much on IA. Shoot a video to show us how it performs.

**J-ROCK** · 02-28-2009, 04:18 PM

hell yeah son built auto FTW lol

**JDMJAYDC2** · 02-28-2009, 04:25 PM

i will post the link to the start up vid on the first page i have yet to do any pulls with it as level 10 says i should baby it for 1k miles then change the fluid and i should be good but as anyone that knows me i dont drive it much so it just stays in my garage while the build continues

**J-ROCK** · 02-28-2009, 04:28 PM

so turbo is next then what???

**JDMJAYDC2** · 02-28-2009, 04:32 PM

then what ever i feel should be next honestly i love how it sits now but i am curious to see what the tranny will hold but yeah turbo is next on the list im looking at the treadstone kits as they arent too expensive and ch@dbee made very good numbers with the ones he had i really dont want to go the egay route

autozone axles are only a lifetime warranty for the first set, after that its only a one year warranty, but i agree its better to have a tranny that will hold 500 and only run 300 then a tranny that will hold 500 and run 500.... untill it wont hold 500 anymore lol btw nice teggy

STFU Kevin lol. Just like you I bring life and excitement to anywhere I'm placed

**JDMJAYDC2** · 03-01-2009, 07:57 AM

www.levelten.com for anyone willing to follow my footsteps or you just want some education about the company

**green91** · 03-01-2009, 08:35 AM

Looks neat but their site doesn't give much information other than they upgrade your tq converter, clutches/steels, and pump.. I hope you didn't give $3300 for the transmission!!

**2turbo4u** · 03-01-2009, 03:36 PM
