Honda/Acura Automatic Transmissions have hard time holding up with a lil more additonal power let alone a lot of power. They just aren't strong enough. Not a lot of Rebuilders of Transmission Honda Performance oriented places will touch the Autos for a lot of power builds...
I would imagine 250-300 hp would be pushing it... my 2 cents...

The 5g auto transmissions fail at an exceptionally high rate even with a stock engine. I'd leave everything alone and hope for the best.

For any decently high hp output you should consider upgrading to a manual tranny. I know, I am sure you have already heard this

LSD with a manual trans is a must with high HP... a good clutch combo meanin spendy is a must as well...
Right around 500-600 whp is where I see stock H trannys take a dump with non LSD
A buddy went through 4 or so H non LSD tranny's 600 whp mark, even a built trans aftermarket gears non LSD, put's in a stock H trans with LSD sure enough hasn't broken yet haha

the truthful answer is about 175 hp and it comes with 200 stock.. You do the math. Also search SS tranny failure.

NO, HAVE YOU BEEN READING ANY OF THE RESPONSES???
They barely hold stock HP levels You have a LOT more research to do before you put any turbo on your car.
