Iam turboing my automatic

[rickyduckworth]

auto trannies wear IN BETWEEN SHIFTS........when an auto tranny (or manual) is in gear, the wear is on anything but the tranny.......do it and with that many miles, the odds are against you that it will last forever, but you may get a few good years out of it, who knows, none of us do whether we act like we do or not.......

what i would do is go ahead and get a backup tranny ready....easy to swap out anyway.....the accord auto trannies are stronger than the accord manual trannies.....the lude auto trannies are stronger (except for the s model that used the f22a1) but only a little bit.....even the manual trannies are nothing special though....and when your tranny IS strong enough, you'll break axles, mounts, exhausts, etc......so don't listen to "auto haters" because it's usually a situation where "manuals are cool because you shift" or whatever......yeah, auto trannies use up more power but my auto xr4ti ran high 12's on street tires with a 2.3 liter, sohc turbo setup.......it ran a high 12 EVERY time too....the less human involvment, the more precise and consistent your car will be........

just make yourself HAPPY.........no need to care what others think as long as it isn't just a legitimately stupid idea....which this isn't because i say so and i'm god

"Will the transmission and drivetrain be adversely affected?

Very unlikely. Consider that the drivetrain endures more torque in first gear from the stock engine than almost any turbo can produce in second gear. Occasionally a clutch comes along that won't do the extra duty.. Most clutch problems are going to cropp up when shifting habits are less than acceptable. Not to worry."

excerpt from Maximum Boost by Corky Bell

automatics have clutches to btw... just thought i would share the info...

lol. first of all, it's an AT.

it's just plain wrong to do such nice modification on AT. lol. IMHO.

auto trannys will shift faster than any manual anyday.

[Smokinspeeds]

auto trannys will shift faster than any manual anyday.

And you know that as fact ? or so it sounds... even though it's known as fact on here that the auto's run aobut a second slower in the quarter mile. That and the autos have torque converter that allow's 'slippage' if you will, so whatever hp your motor has it will never all get to the wheels, and manuals don't have that problem

[Shag Wagon]

Unless you get a stall put in.......but then that will jerk the hell out of the tranny and boom shaka laka somethin somewhere is finally gonna break.

[SuperTuner12010]

I am wanting to do the same.Will it still fuck up I gat a performance torque converter http://www.levelten.com/store/import...cord_civic.htm will the tranny hold up better with the torque converter?

[kc8enb]

ive thought about turbo, but stayin auto. would a h22 auto handle the turbo?

hahahahahahahaha

i hope thats a sarcastc laugh. you do know that the top dragsters use built auto's right?

no i'm dumb

but i'm glad you care what i say

it makes me feel good on the inside

[Smokinspeeds]

yes there are drag fully automatic transmissions and there are sorta manual/auto transmissions that do not have a clutch but you control the shift point. (no computer doing shifting) But we aren't talking about those in this context. LEt's jack the thread all we want someone asked a question relating to their car and what they have.

As for the h series transmissions I can't tell you too much other than if you get a jdm one pulled from a lower mile car thatd definatly help. And that torqe converter from that shop would help too as our stock one's pretty much don't seem to let much more to the wheels other than stock. They weren't designed for any more power to go through them. Now if the h series auto comes with it's matching torque converter it probably would also be built to put more power to the wheels. People with them generally seem to feel more pull so it might be worth doing. I know a guy with an auto jdm h22 motor and tranny and he's dynoed at like 189 all motor not built just minor mods. SO a lot more power seems like it would get too the wheels.

eh, there not even really automatic. they only have ONE gear

I can second that
there is less drivetrain loss with a manual

[Smokinspeeds]

Second that? The part you snipped I was talking about and automatic not a manual, just the h22 version. But either way there is less loss of power with a manual because of not having the torque converter. Add a stage 2 or 3 clutch and you are really gonna do some serious damage!
