not alota turbo kits out yet

be advised however. if your wanting to push over 300hp your gona have to work on engine internals ie lower compression pistons to accomodate the turbo, forged rods, larger fuel injectors,billet crank, its not just a matter of bolting on stuff it takes alot of preperation, time, patience and CASH!!!!!!!!!!! good luck.

Re: auto turbo kit

if you're looking for a turbo kit with 310whp, you're not really going to have to worry about the fuel injectors or lowering the compression. the only thing you are really going to have to worry about is your transmission. the automatic transmission in the tC can handle around 250whp. so before bolting on a turbo kit, strengthen the transmission and if you can, buy a transmission cooler. heat is the transmissions biggest enemy. the injectors in the tC are plenty big to handle 300hp. you'll just have to watch your air fuel ratio and make sure you aren't abusing the transmission. if you're really looking to make the tC fly, I would definetely suggest an aftermarket torque converter.

TheQuietThings is definitely right about the torque converter. When the transmission went out in my automatic 1995 Prelude Si I upgraded to a JMO torque converter and it was much faster and the gear changes seemed more agressive.

stock injectors on a tc are definitely not big enough to safely support 300 hp. the factory option supercharger comes with a 5th injector. check the injector load % on a dyno chart to see what i mean.
