SSP has almost secured enough cores to start the SST transmission exchage program. SSP will be providing (in stock) UPGRADED clutch baskets which will be on the shelf ready to sell. The UPGRADED CLUTCH baskets will come with the SSP clutch upgrade and steel upgrade. SSP will also be releasing modified transmisisons ready to go around the 1st of the year.

What will happen, you the customer will send in your good stock core in exchange for a highly modified transmission. SSP will try to keep these NEW modified transmission in stock at all times (pending sales volume). All the proven modifications that SSP has been working on over the last several months will be available in this transmission. SSP will be offering 2 different levels of modification depending on what horsepower levels you will require. SSP will be releasing its new internal transmission modifications in the near future.

SSP wants you the SST owner to no longer FEAR transmission failure. It has been the same with the GTR owners for the last year. Now, SSP has been successfully building GTR transmissions to withstand 750+whp.

SSP has been working a new 2 stage electronic launch control system for the SST. This will allow you to leave the line at lower boost levels to save on transmission wear. After imediately shifting into second gear, the SST will kick into high boost.

SSP PERFORMANCE

awesome...... We just hit the wall with what the sst will handle on my MR. We had to back the new turbo down to 22lbs just to get it to hold reliably. I am very interested in the packages and associated costs. I am hoping we can hit 400whp and 400 wtq with our current setup as soon as we can get the tranny to hold....

I like it :clap:


but how much torque can the upgraded transmission can take for the two levels? Upgraded clutch basket and the Upgraded Transmission Internals?

This thread just made my day! SUBSCRIBED!!!

Please keep us updated on when we can start doing the core swaps. This just made my FP RED Purchase a whole lot more exciting!!!! :bowlol:

subscribed!

subscribed! :hump:

Hoo rah!!

Very nice kris. This proves once again that SSP is the leader in DCT's!

maybe a reason to keep my mr?

why would you sell it lol?

dont forget all the people that have withdrawals from an old school tractor transmission.

subscribed and waiting.

^ Same

You stated that there will be (2) different trannies to chose from from based on the customers needs. What will these both be rated at for horsepower / torque? MSRP for both?

We will be releasing information shortly after testing this month.

SSP

Would the core exchange program also include the cooling system installed on the new tranny?

any chance that someone with upgraded clutches would get a deal on the exchange? :D

Well you'll be getting mine soon enough, Were pulling my trans this week, should be ready for pick up on friday. I'll call you as soon as it's out of the car.

Its already present in the ECU .. why would you want to do a separate thing ?? :D

Price on basket swap?

Yup .. stock ecu has this capability built in .. in fact stock 1st gear full power is only 15psi at 5000rpms ..
Oh I also need to add that you won't get full boost when you brake torque ..probably about 1/2 of what you set .. I get about max 15psi when launching .. I can probably lower it to 7psi . but where's the fun ?? :bowlol:

My Car is done.....

SSP Pan, Clutches, Fluid and cooler. All installed by John Sheperd.


My impressions...... Awesome!!!!!

The parts were amazing. The install was quick and spot on. Everything feels great.

Feel free to ask any questions.... I think I am one of the few daily drivers out there right now with this stuff installed.....

Does the car launch any different?

Are you getting re-tuned/dyno'd now that you have all this installed?

more info please

I hope to god he hasn't launched it yet, he should follow the same break in as new, at least 1000miles on the clutches first to allow them to break in and seat.

Here are some of the Shep Trans install pictures. Everything went great. The car runs and drives great.

Ahh didn't know this. I'm a new clutch virgin.

I just took mine out today guys and it feels really really good I only got to 3rd gear since I'm on gravel and have no front end on it, but the shifts are nice, I can't wait to break them in and really try it I'm gonna try and get some video in the next few days of it so you can hear the shifts and such!

so when is all this going to be released to the public?

Hi .. its already in the current definitions ..

*hint* its called low gear map :thumbup:

I hope to god he hasn't launched it yet, he should follow the same break in as new, at least 1000miles on the clutches first to allow them to break in and seat.

Thats not right..... most wet clutch systems are broken in within 75 to 100 miles.

Yes I did some launches after about 150 miles.... and yes it launches hard, but not a whole lot different from before. I think the difference is I am not afraid I am going to destroy my clutches....

I can't wait for someone to crack the TCU so we can start messing with the torque tables... I don't see much sense in pushing the car past 400 whp if the TCU is still going to throw fits.


As for the tune..... We are going to do a street tune on it for some drivability issues, and I think were going to leave it at 350 whp for a while.....

Next step, walbro 255, fuel rail, turn up the boost.... But that will all have to wait til spring. Right now, I am just having a great time driving the car and having that peace of mind that my new tranny upgrades give me....

well I'm gonna wait 1000 before I launch mine, this isn't a full wet clutch system and holds WAY more torque, power and drive line weight then a bike, I'm not chancing it ;)

Glad to hear ya tested it out though :D

Torque limit tables are in the ecu. I already had to adjust mine up from a cobb stage 2 shelf map. I did it using acess tuner race software.

I have talked to Kris about this and once a few more things are announced I might take this up if it's in time ;) I wanna drive my car this summer so I'm hoping the products I need are avail, this includes 600HP clutches and a few other things ;) So keep me a good one I only have 10000kms on my core with the 400HP clutches already installed ;)

I got you bud.

I had the 400's installed for 2 weeks, then I blew the motor. So now I'm getting the 500's installed, plus our new seals for the tranny.



Prices on the built trans will start around 4 K, and we have installers all over the world that are more then capable of handling a transmission swap.

seals was on that list but I wasn't sure if I could say those yet :P And one other thing that is coming ;) Any ETA on the 600s?

All I can say is really really good news for the SST is coming hopefully, it's a little soon to say 100% yet, but I'm very excited and hope it works ;)

So you want power huh?......I came up with 2 different ultimate power packages for you!


Hell, I sell you a package deal ON ANY parts we sell!

Check out our web site, I've added over 20 pages of parts last week, and more to come every day!!!

pick what you want, and give me a call.

I'll match ANY deal out there!

I know but......... we all know the TCU is holding us back right now..... :confused2:

Either way I'll be ordering my front mount cooler and some fluids from you right away... but I'm gonna hold off on the rest until we figure out the SST software a little better.

No problem bud, the offer stands.

And remember we sell tons of parts for the GSR and MR guys. It's not just SSP parts now, we sell BC suspension, Cosworth, Cobb, MAP, T1R, JNZ Tuning, AMI customs, and tons of others manufactures parts.

I don't see anything other than the 400hp power package... I'm still waiting for you to get the package up there to hit the 600hp mark. :)

When are we going to get some updates on this?

There's the whole " Baller " 500 hp kit up there too.

I think me and Saiba are both strongly holding out for 600 ;) Since the beginning we have both wanted 600hp clutches :D

Subscribed, as I shed a tear of joy.

I'll be giving the 500's a run for there money. I've decided to make the switch over to E-85, and head down to Cobb in TX.

That would be the plan. Not going to max out 500 hp clutches on the stock turbo. I believe the made 407 whp ?

Yes, Cobb in Plano.

We use the Cobb AP to tune our World Record GTR as-well.


When my motor is back together, and we are done using it for R&D. I would say the beginning of March.

I have the 500ho discs in only problem my car is in South Dakota....

Exactly.. the only thing holding me back from doing anymore mods is the tranny. Once you guys get them 600hp clutches out there, I'll be going bigger turbo, etc... Just waiting for the announcement! :)

why you say that?

he means the TCU, which I already know you do ;)

why you say that?

Hmmm.... Hate to keep bringing this up but our TCU only allows for 350~ wtq.... you can put all the clutches and cooling you want into the SST but too much power will make it freak out and well... I think you of all people know what happens under these circumstances...

he means the TCU, which I already know you do ;)

i dont like secrets! i wanna know i wanna know!! lol

So Cobb didn't make 407 tq on e85?

he means the TCU, which I already know you do ;)



Who?......ME :bowlol:

it's not time yet, it's still a work in progress, but I think he'll have it soon enough ;)he won't have his car for a few months, and I think soon there will be a reason for us SST owners to have a good drunken night. I have a good feeling on this try ;)

So Cobb didn't make 407 tq on e85?

I'm aware of this.

But ...... According to gunzo.. 350 wtq will make it freak out. When it comes to SST, I tend to listen when gunzo speaks... I mean if anyone should know this it's you....

I'll come to edmonton and celebrate with you :yay:

I'm with weebles here, I'm not against cobb I LOVE my AP, I just think there was more factors there.

Once the TCU is crack I think we are going to understand this more. BUt I'd like to see him run that on the dyno with the trans at 180F, I'm very very doubtful it'll happen. But I think RPM, Boost, Line Pressure, Trans Temp and torque all play a role in this. I'm not sure how yet but somehow they do, so you might make 407, but you won't everytime, and the one time it doesn't ....

Oh the other hand, Jeremy is in GREAT hands, I know they are gonna figure it out.

Yea, I'm not trying to come off so negative here... Trust me I wanna see 500whp MR's just as much as you guys. I'm just trying to be skeptical and keep things realistic, so when I see people saying they are simply waiting on 600whp clutches to come out for major upgrades and that you're trying to push the limits of the 500 whp clutches with e85 it's hard not to point out the obvious road blocks.

None the less, I truly love SSP and everything they've so far done for us SST owners. I will most certainly be supporting this company with purchases very soon.

I feel ya, and I'm not saying I'm going to make over 500. I sure as hell would like too. I'll be happy with 450-480.....but we're just going to have to see what happens. Only way you can find out is by trying. And I figure the best way to try would for SSP to build the living shit out of the trans, and send it to Cobb.

I totally agree, I think those are a big problem which causes other problems, though we know there are software limits that still need to be overcome.

I can't wait to see what you can put down reliably though! make sure to run the tranny hot on the dyno as hot as you can to really test it.

What ever it take bud! I'm going give it a shot. So what are the Ported FP reds making on the GSR's ? with full bolt ons and Clutches.

Full bolt on ported FP red with e85 will be on the heals of 500 whp I'm sure...

I haven't seen a red on e85 yet but with meth and bolt ons, they've been pushing 460~
