Going to turbo my auto this summer...

I have an appoint. with level10 on april 21 and at that point I will have them tell me how much power they can build my auto to withstand. Then in may-july I will build my engine up, and then around september I will boost.
I have read all the faq’s/guides/topics and everything and have an understanding of what is required and everything. I have 2 questions:

  1. Should I buy a new auto tranny for this porject? How much do they run? Mine has 140k on it :rockon: .
  2. Should I build my 150k engine or buy another used one?

And no, I am not going manual or swapping to vtec or anything stupid like that. I am turboing a B18A1 with Auto.

Level 10 is a good choice. I have heard they beef up auto trannys nicely.

if you are doing a full build on your motor I say use your. Sleeves, rods, pistons, bearing, oil pump, water pump, etc should all be done for the power levels it sounds you want to run on a 140k block.

i dont see why you would need a separate tranny either…Level 10 rebuilds the whole thing so you shouldnt need a newer one…this is a question that they can answer best most likely.

My question to you is what do you plan on using for fuel management? Something that will control everything (ECU and TCU) could get complex and pricey…

I was told on using a stand alone but those prices are indeed huge! I suppose that asking for advice here would just get me flamed by 1337 members, so I’ll go search around the net for something else. But at the moment I am most concerned with my tranny and what motor I will be boosting. Also costs, but that an issue with everyone, on everything. I hope that tranny stays under 1000$, and the build too. Otherwise Ill have to skimp on turbo parts, and that I do not need.
Q: Can I have an LSD on my auto? Any options?

Hrm, I just looked and you are close.

What year is your teg?

Its a 92 RS, I just looked before you, and you are close :giggle: .
Its ODB1 so when I turbo it hopefully you’ll do the tunning? :hmm:
Im building the tranny and engine first will take me until july earliest to be ready for turbo, I’m just planning everything out and starting to put a price on things.

I’m just trying to think how you would run Uberdata/Crome on an OBD1 Auto /Turbo car.

it would have to be researched

Yep, thats one of the issues I have been looking at.
Only thing I can say is: it’s been done.
I dont know how, and no one is stepping forward to tell me, but I am still researching this and will hopefully know by summer :hmm: .
