NuWiz Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I am looking to upgrade the turbo on my car to the VF52 and wanted to gather a little information before proceeding. Who is running this turbo on their 5EAT and with what mods to the tranny? Anyone have any problems with their tranny after install? I currently have a tranny cooler, trans bushing and change the fluid every 20,000 miles. The tranny seems pretty strong still only acts funny on cold days until warm. Thanks for the help.

Gmoe Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Lots of 5EATs with that turbo. Do that ^ along with what you've done and go for it. You will be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are getting a super low price on that VF52, I personally would waste my time with another OEM turbo. Especially when a BNR 16g is only $725 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuWiz Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hopefully $700 for a used one with 8K. Would the tranny handle the turbo minus the VB upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowNaza86 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yes, a VF52 shouldn't be enough to grenade it, but its all based on your tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorbrody Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I've had a VF52 with E85 on my 5EAT for 50k miles with no turbo or trans issues. I have an IPT valve body and run Amsoil ATF changed every 30k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim1969 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Was stage 2 for a couple of years. Vf52 for a month. 5EAT 5th gear went bye-bye. Had tranny cooler. Was not an aggressive tune. I would upgrade the VB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuWiz Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Is the BNR 16G very similar to the VF52? More, less or the same abuse on the tranny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjweb Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 vf52 is slightly smaller. The main difference is the BNR uses a better CHRA and is hand built and balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick4dr Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I love my BNR 16g with hexmod valve body over 1 yr strong. Have 95k on motor and trans now. Trans till feels great no slip and awesome shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuWiz Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 quick4dr, do you change injectors with that turbo? Do you have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripemeat Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 only a pump is recommended for a 52. unless you're running e85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
