im slacking too, wanted to go b20v turbo, but now im leaning towards a j swap, may get the parts to do a junkyard turbo build till i come up with the money for a j swap, then boost that too lol
i actually almost did a J swap when one of my Vs tranny started messing up. i had a J35 in my shed w/c i purchased complete
but somebody bit the asking price posted, i had to sell it.. LOL!

200lbs, it was a drastic flat curve on top but never dropped. it was a fun to drive, but it was purposely tuned and built
like that coz i was hauling my track eg so i dont need to downshift a LOT of times if i need instant power.. just press
the pedal and im good...
my V is Vtec ready, but being autotragic im debating on finishing it, all I need is a Vtec controller and wire everything up, the heads on right now just not wired up. Might just finish the vtec conversion in a few weeks then save up for the J swap stuff, been doing research lately on that, too afraid to turbo an auto with a vtec controller not the best for tuning

godspeedcrv V's is autobox too.. he did use a vafc to control his vtec, look for his thread..
i havent seen an auto boost yet, hopefully you could be the one, good luck!
But I was more curious about the power handling capabilities and resulting reliability of the auto trans. In stock form and what upgrades are available.
Have to pay to play man. Do you really think modified stuff is cheap? Go look at ANY aftermarket or custom parts for a CRV compared to a Civic or Integra. You would burn yours to the ground.
Building a Honda A/T has been done before. Can you specifically build a CRV one? I honestly don't know (and don't really care) as I never looked into it since M/T are the only way to get every last bit of power out of these torqueless engines. Spawne32 successfully built an early Integra trans though and those fit in a CRV soo... enjoy!
If you REALLY wanted to and were serious about trying something, you would look into it and sit down and compare part numbers along with making phone calls. I can assure you it won't be cheap regardless of your choice. Most will tell you once you start hitting 150 - 200 wtq the stock Honda transmissions die and instant death. Hell, they can't even handle a stock B20.
Turbo suggestions for a stock B20 in my 2000 CR-V and 225-250 whp? I want to keep AC and PS and I almost never rev high, my car rarely if ever sees 6000 rpm. I was thinking a T3 super 60, but I am undecided on a .48 or .63 turbine.
I was just recently told a C4 corvette rear end has a very similar ratios...
Saw that you can get a Dana 44 with a 2.53 ratio, if it was in an IRS case i wonder if that would be an alternative to the increasingly rare Wagovan parts?
Shame there aren't off the shelf gerotor setups you can mount inline on any prop shaft to replace the VCU's on some cars, would help Honda, VW ,Volvo and Landrover peeps...
An auto CRV turbo is simple, just like any other turbo Honda. Do research before blowing up a thread asking simple faq questions.
You don't even need a tune if you don't want to. On a fmu a missing link you can make decent power for the st. Low end torque and your trans will be fine if it's in good shape already and the fluid is fine.
I just got a crv auto 2 weeks ago solely to prove this, we are going to boost it and my son's b20b integra gsr trans and I'm keeping the crv simple it's my daily and we are gonna use engine management on his because it's 5speed. Mine is rtawd it's been done successful before. Google it
Hey guys, I have a stock 1999 CRV AWD, I am moving to CO and after a trip out there it is obvious that I will be low on power for the hills. I have a new 2017 CRV with a factory turbo. I like turbos and want to add one to my 1999, I just want to keep it simple and get more power. I can make most things and work with metal, I have a TIG welder for alum. I would like any info as how to put together a turbo setup. I looked at the kits and they stop at 2002. I have a motorcycle mechanic background. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your reply..
So I'm thinking about putting in a turbo when i replace the head in my crv 2001, but where would i get the intake from would I have to make it myself? how did all of you guys get yours?
