Cwinedine 1st Gear January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 any idea why the auto dont have 140horse? the gearbox cannot support the power or any reason? I feel it's for marketing purpose..If Both auto & manual hv same hp..which one will u go for The auto is actually a manual transmission gearbox without a manual clutch. U can still feel the up/down shift of the gears. Auto can easily push up to 140hp with a little tuning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiaobravo Neutral Newbie January 19, 2013 Author Share January 19, 2013 True enough,a little chip up produces 140hp & 242nm on wheels based on dyno results. Not impressive but good enough for city driving. My advice is enjoy the stock,after which your butt gets numb then have a little chip up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can still feel the up/down shift of the gears. Auto can easily push up to 140hp with a little tuning. if both auto and manual same hp the auto will sure sell slightly higher... u mean auto also can be like manual but up gear without clutch.. if manual chip in 160hp? btw how much is the chip?

Keavze 1st Gear January 21, 2013 Share January 21, 2013 remap and will get 20-30% increase in power and torque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonknapp Clutched January 21, 2013 Share January 21, 2013 any idea why the auto dont have 140horse? the gearbox cannot support the power or any reason? Reason is the auto gearbox can't handle the power. I believe the turbo is actually different. So even after remap or tmc box the auto only goes to 150hp but the manual can hit 180hp.
