hey my little bro just got a gen 2 teg ,wow just like his big bro! anyways this little mother freaka got 1000 extra spending cash and wants to turbo the damn thang but, its an automatic i told him it would make no sense becasue automatics dont rev high enough. So in return he wants to kno if it really work on an auto and if it doesnt how can he make his automatic faster with 500 bucks lol so then he can spend the other 500 on his busted interior lol.
Turbocharged Hondas with automatic trannys have been done but the torque converter is a severe limitation. The torque converter cannot take over 200 horsepower. At the time of the writing of this guide no aftermarket torque converters are available. A swap to a manual transmission is highly recommended.
Straight from the turbo gude :read:
Dude tell him to spend the money on a manual conversion. The OEM tourqe converter in the automatic WILL break. He might be able to run small amounts of boost on a Automatic setup ( like 5-8 psi) .The best advise I could tell him is to READ before he spends anything :rockon:
read the turbo guide at the top of the forced induction forum
