Auto boxes
Hey, I have a 54 hillman, running a 1.6 (89) auto running gear. The reason we used the auto was soace and it seemed an easier swop. Obviously i ow wnat more power as the 1.6 auto isn't a real power house! I am going to bang a turbo on it I have ordered a stand alone ecu to start with so i can remove loads of junk from under the bonnet but my question has any one boost the auto box before? did it survive? how strong are they? is there an alternative box option that is an auto??
I know swopping to manual would be easier in the long run, but want to try the auto as it is in there and works fine.....
any pointers would be much appreciated1954 Hillman Minx (mx5)

Pretty sure these auto cars have different wiring harnesses. And i think they also have a different ECU to run the auto trans. I'm sure there is probably a way to get MS to run an auto trans...
Why put yourself through all this trouble?

I was mistaken about the rx7 solenoid.
You actually want a vacuum shift modulator from a 300zx.
There is a diagram in that thread as well, but it is for an 04.
