Turbo on a AUTO

[Dnice11]

i know they said theres no stupid questions on this forum, but i was wondering could you run a turbo set-up on a automatic tranny?

I know you cant run very high boost if you do i would guess the max would be around 4 or 5 psi. But i was wondering if it was possible would the tranny be able to take low boost?

Possible: Yes.
Practical: No.


The tranny wouldnt last too long with that much power.

h23 trans can handle 300 stock so thats your best bet

Auto Tranny No Likie Boost...But with a auto it would be a sleeper!!

[1990Ex]

it can be done but you would have to beef the trans up to handle the boost

[garreth8tsu]

if u got the money to boost then do a manual swap 2.

there was a guy at the Springfield, Va meet last year with a turbo H22 in a coupe with an auto tranny putting down over 300 hp.......

...its doable.... but prolly not very practical.

If you can build the auto transmission , it's possible.

[nope]

i'd say that on less than 10psi it would hold up okay, the main problem with automatics and hp is heat, you need a good tranny cooler and it would be a good idea to hook up a temporary tranny temp gauge to make sure that when you're hooking up all that power you aren't straining the f*** out of it. although if you drive like a maniac constantly, yeah nothing is gonna last long.

It would be a sleeper but its going to eat your tranny up!!!!!!!

ok Ill bite. There is a member on the forum that is turbo and uses an auto lsd. His set up does over 250 whp maybe 325hp but that is a guess too high. Any who back to the topic. If I were to turbo my auto. I would use the stock radiator cooling. Add a large tranny cooler. Followed by a small electric fan. Also I would keep an eye on the trans temp gauge. Add some type of additive too.

Oh and by the way if say at wot your are at 15 psi and red line 6.5K rpm. THe trans will shift and you should craddle at 2.3-3K. I think if you could cut boost at 6k and gradually boost after the shift your car would be ok. THen again that would be too detailed for the average person. The TCU would def have to be tweaked. Im not smart enough for input output code. Any thoughts ?
