Calling out all automatic boost guys ...
So I've been debating on toying around with this pissy *** subject honda calls an automatic transmission & as some know i've alwayws toyed around with the idea of turbo'ing the auto ... enough of the long story though what i'm really wondering is types of setups are the auto guys running ? (engines, tranny coolers, what size turbo's, what psi, etc.) if you could also throw in a little bit of information if you've been dyno'ed or ran at a track i'd definitely appreciate it.
I'm not expecting it to be very fast or anything but I've recently stumbled upon a good deal on a turbo setup so and i'm debating on buying and putting the kit on before i go 5 spd.
so yeah lemme hear from you auto guys - Thanks Justin
as for the flamers lets attempt to keep this page clean, i know everyone has an opinion but i'm not really loooking for negative ones here

2001 Accord F23A1 2.3L SOHC 7psi
T3/TO4e 57 trim .48 A/R
Largest Tranny cooler pep boys had to offer
200hp 200ftlbs at 5psi dyno tuned
Had problems with boost controller so didn't test at 7psi
It has lasted over 2 years with no problems. I plan on building for more power so the tranny is being swaped out as well.

1998 CR-V JRSC with stock pully, Comptech header and exhaust.
Ran for about a year with the stock auto tranny and a tranny cooler using MOBIL 1 fluid. It was nice, but the tranny eventually started slipping. The car did have 148k miles on it when I boosted it though.
Swapping for a 5 speed now.

Re: (project dc2)
so far sounds like some nice setups, where's the D-series @ ?
Keep 'em coming ! maybe us auto guys will have somewhere to call home in the forced induction section

Re: (eg8kid)
My project is still in the works. I have a 91 ls motor and auto trans in a 88 crx with a t72 turbonetics turbo charger. I custom stall torque converter. I also have modified my trans and upgrade the clutch drums to hold more clutches. I am using a industrial PLC with a msd rpm switch to shift it. I have not got to dyno it yet but hope to do so some time in january. I have had some intercooler issues and ecm issues that have held me back.

No, back when I turboed it in 02', there were no local dynos for me to go to. It was running on the Greddy blue box.

JRSC @ 6 psi, D16Y8 with stock auto trans and two transmission coolers (and Amsoil ATF). 143 WHP/125 lb-ft, and stock transmission lasted for 60000 miles. The transmission had about 55000 miles before it was boosted.

ah nice ... i honestly never knew you could run two tranny coolers simataneously (sp?), you learn something new everyday. But yeah lets keep it going

Re: (eg8kid)
94 civic ex , used to have an apexi bb kit non intercooled up to 10psi (set at 7psi but would spike), ported head, zex 59300 cam, 370cc injectors, emanage blue, msd ignition, tranny cooler. I turboed at about 145k and the tranny started acting up at 200k so i had it rebuilt with a tci rebuild kit and added a tci 2.8-3.2k converter. Just had the engine rebuilt also with srp pistons and pg6 rods. I also added an intercooler and bought a gt28r turbo which will go on by the end of the month. Ill hopefully get to the dyno next month.

Re: (eg8kid)
Cant turbo B or D series auto's... Well you can but everybody knows they let go just when you start to make enough horsepower/torque to have fun. Not to mention the cost $$$$ to rebuild an auto tranny. If you search the archives this was covered like two years ago... Actually beaten death a few times... should have stayed dead IMO.

I think your mistaken. Yes the tranny isnt going to hold as much as a five speed, but they can hold a decent amount of power for a decent amount of time, enough power to make the car more enjoyable to drive.Not everyone is looking to have 600 hp. Personally for my auto car Im hoping to make about 230whp. Why do you care if people want to turbo an automatic and actually discuss it on this chat board. Does it really **** you off? Why not just read a different thread and leave us to actually posting some useful information.

b18b w/ t3-4 @ 10psi. The auto tranny has held up so far. 95,000miles on the tranny w/20,000 being turbocharged. I don't even try to launch with it because I know it will shorten the life span. Oh ya, Amsoil tranny fluid also.

Yep, the key is knowing when to stop upping the boost before **** breaks prematurely. How would I bare driving a vastly underpowered auto Civic 4-door (actually, an Acura 1.6EL here in Canada) with a whopping 98 WHP stock? I couldn't, so I had to slap on a JRSC I picked up for $1200 so I could at least have some torque and be able to dust all those pesky "econony" cars in the same class.
There are good results too with boosting an automatic FWD car at high power levels as long as the trans hold. You can have one of the best launches with boost and automatic, and it is so easy to pedal both the brakes and the throttle to build boost before a launch and to maintain it. Power also goes to the wheels a lot smoother and dampened and you'd realize that traction is greatly improved.

Here's some useful info, upgrade the torque converter, go to level 10's website and check out there program for the TCM so you can actually program the shiftpoints for the gears. Oh and I'm soooo sorry for offending you( ), but the first time you take this car out and lose to somebody with the same blower/turbo setup and a 5spd, you can roll down your window and say "it doesn't matter, mine is an automatic".
Oh wait he'll be 10 cars ahead cuz the EGT's caused by that ultra long 4spd gearing will have caused your ring lands to completely melt and crack, leaving you to contemplate this.
Maybe thats why Tony used a supercharger instead... Less heat, better longevity.

Youre right, thats why my engine that was boosted on a completly stock bottom end, and no intercooler was completly fine after 55000 miles of boosting (with a total of 200k miles). Thanks for more completly useless info! Keep it coming, it really adds quality to Honda-tech.
