Turbo on an auto?

[CrunkRuffRyderz]

is this possible and if so will it ruin anything?

[vietkid_2006]

why not?

just need to make sure your tranny is cool.

and don't push too much boost.
other then that it's fine to run turbo on auto.

[CrunkRuffRyderz]

so how will the bov work since the gas pedal doesnt have to be let go for it to shift?

[CrunkRuffRyderz]

i have an h22a engine with h22a tranny with less than 40k
what are some good turbos that u would reccomend?
im not that familiar with the quality of each brand

Swap to 5-speed..yeah a tranny cooler would help out but manual can take the abuse better..BTW can you even tune an automatic besides running an expensive stand-alone system???

Tuning an auto is difficult. Most amateur tuners that I know won't do it. Find a shop that would do your ECU tuning before you even consider it.

Also, turbo on an H22A might not be a great idea either. The compression is high, the motor is old, and it would take VERY careful tuning to make it right.


If you want turbo auto H22 advice, PM blazen_accord. Not sure how often he comes around these days, but he has a turbo stock block auto H22 pushing about 400hp. He's learned his lessons the hard way, though... he has blown a LOT of stuff up in the past!

this reminds me of the V6 accords with auto trannys. the trannys keep failing.

the BOV works when the car shifts. so even in an auto it will release when the automatic shifts

That was a flaw in those transmissions, though.


The bad thing about CB autos is that most of them were not properly maintained. The transmission fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles max, with authentic Honda fluid. How many of you have had your automatic CBs for more than 30,000 miles and haven't changed the fluid? If you changed it, how many of you used Honda fluid?

I'd be willing to bet that MOST of you, if not all of you reading this, haven't changed it. Even if you did, the chances that the person that owned the car before you didn't bother.

That's why CB autos are "weak".

Can't really agree when the issue ran from 1998-2002 models. But I hear what your trying to say. There is a reliable high horsepower / auto combo out there.

Can't really agree with what? That the 1998-2002 V6 transmissions were flawed?

Guilty.

I put almost 100k on my old auto '92 and never once changed it. It started shifting a little hard, but still drove fine before it was totaled.
