dont do it, honda auto trannys are weak and youll blow it

I know they are weak but I'm talking low boost 8psi max .And when I was a honda tech I saw more v6 auto tranny problems .but I never saw a forced inducted 4 cyl auto come in the door .I'm really looking for whats next .as far as upgrades.I have almost all the little normal bolt on stuff I/E/H/Pulleys .And I was considering buying the turbo set up from a reputable company .

any honda auto tranny is weak, ive seen 4cyl honda with a basic I/H/E start slipping within months... your first mod should be an auto to manual swap.. especially if your thinking of moddin

That's because I believe most guys who've done this type of performance mod would bring their rides to an independent shop first rather then a dealership.

Auto hondas and turbos dont mix. Just do the trans swap its like $1,000 or even less. Then slap on a t25 @ 8psi and have 150hp

your right I probably go that way .with the swap and see what comes of it thanks

lol i love dat vedeo i had a friend with a turbo civic 93 coupe automatic . he really buggied on that car lol and he even let go of the pedal so to make it look like he shifted LOL but his car is running really well and he did beat a lot of manual cars. yea a turbo can mess up the tranny it all depends how much u abuse it u know thats pretty much it. but that car is running good
