Here is what is going on.
I got a friend that wants to turbo his accord wagon it's a 95 with a f22b2 motor.
I need to know :
What is the limit of stock block?
How much power can the auto tans holds?
What tuning options are there beside piggybacks?

Please if you can answer the questions.
I'm not a newbie just don't mess with accords. I tune and work on civic and tegs.

A d don't say swap motors or trans or anything like that. He is bent on keep that motor and keeping the auto.


Sorry about double post.

Bump any info?

Those F22 Autos can't take much torque at all, even with a torque converter which is a bit on the pricey side. If he gets over 200-250ft/lbs of torque, he's lucky if the trans lasts a few weeks from the last one I've ever dipped my hand into (about 8 years ago). The engine can do about 250-28whp from a T3/T04E, but on an auto transmission, life will be short.

As for "piggybacks", you may be limited to Hondata (if there's a way to control Auto, not sure) or Megasquirt. You /he may have to make a few calls to some companies. If anyone knows about auto transmissions it Spawn32.

thanx for the information.
ill probably talk him into getting a aem fic since I can tune that and crome, but he cant run crome.
knowing him he will try to run a fmu.
and 200hp would probably be good for him. he says the only reason he wants to turbo is cause of mpg and the sound.
I would tell him to swap to a 5speed, but he said his wife drives the car and she cant handle a stick.

You can use a chipped auto P75 to tune as well, with the stock accord TCU of course. I've done it. I used crome to tune. You'll need to swap some wires from the accord harness to match up to the ECU though. It's not hard, 4-5 wires at most IIRC. My 95 Accord was boosted on the auto trans for about 6 months before I 5 speed swapped it. Trans started slipping at 8psi near the end.

What was your setup?
He plans to finish this by the end of this yr.
And I'm a wiring master so that's no problem.

Just a simple log based custom T3/T4 setup with a 57 trim. 2.5" custom downpipe to a 2 3/8ths catback at the time. Ran anywhere from 4-8psi on the auto. Wasn't at all "fast" on the auto, but it did beat some b series cars and a couple H series cars.

Trans was original and had like 160k miles on it IIRC. Just did a couple drain and fills before I boosted it. Started slipping near the end like I said. Ran like stock out of boost even with the chipped auto p75. If you want more info on the wiring just PM me.
