Would it be a wise decision to turbocharge a 1995 ex 4 cylinder vtech automatic?

So its a "no go" with an auto transmission? I didnt think it would be too good of an idea but i would love the power.

You can do it. I sent you some threads over aim. Just know that your auto tranny isnt exactly geared or will be able to handle that high of boost. You could always boost and run maybe 5-7 PSI and then save up and convert to manual. Or vise versa.

Lots of options.

definately what they said... engine will love the boost, tranny will go splat.

do a compression check to make sure you dont have any major blowby or other issues.

whats goal do you ave in mind for all this?

I'm not sure how I want to do this, I would just like extra power, but it is not worth it with an auto....so I don't exactly know.

swap out the auto... or run low boost and try not to beat on it too badly.
