Considering 1JZ Swap need help answering questions

[JDMMA70]

Im considering a 1J swap over a 7M rebuild kind of teetering right now but just gathering info to make my final decison. How much power can the Automatic tranny take when mated with a 1JZ. My car is auto and i wanted to keep it that way as the car will be driven everyday and traffic in houston is quite bad so an Auto is ideal for driving the streets of houston and driving down I-10 during rush hour.

So how much power can the transmission take? And is it still possible to get a 1JZ w/ Automatic transmission or at least with an Auto Harness and ECU



Thanks

you can get an auto with it. the a series is a really good transmission Imho.. and cheap to replace if they die. look at IJ's build he has an auto although it is a built auto with a 2jz turbo auto valvebody

yeah. auto goes for like $150.00 a lot of times i see. i would buy 2 just cuz how cheap they are.

also if you are sticking to stock power i think you should be just fine. just make sure to get a good cooler set up (heat is the number one killer) with a small fan. also use nothing but top notch fluid. even it you have to pay a lot.
