Would it make since to put a turbo system on a 96 Automatic V6 Accord Coupe??? How would the car drive and would it take to much maintenance for the car to be an everyday driver??? Would it be better to use a supercharger than a turbo system???

 

neither.

honda automatic + forced induction isnt a good combo.

also it will have to be all custom cuz no one that i know of has turbo'd or SC'd the c27.

 

ya i agree, everyone says that turboing an auto, is no good, bad idea..

 

so if you turbo or supercharge a standard,it doesnt shorten the life of it in anyway?

 

the main reason motor life is shortened is caz all the extra stress that a turbocharger creates.. doesnt matter if its auto/manual

 

There are no turbos for v6s, but v6perfromance.net may be making one.

Actually, boosting an auto is perfectly fine. It may actually be better, which is why most drag cars are autos. The reason is beacuse in an auto you're always in drive which means that the turbo will already be almost at full boost. Yea sure, they have many other "better" parts too.

5th gen V6 only came in Sedans and there is a SuperCharger for the 5th gen V6. Yes, a turbo system would have to be all custom. But ststurbo.com is coming out with a universal turbo system so keep an eye out for that.

 

edit: thought it was a 6th gen

I got a friend who has a 96 V6 coupe. V6 came in sedan and coupe my friend. I would go with a SC setup myself as it delivers smooth power and no lag.

have you tried putting any type of forced induction through an honda automatic before? i have and i quickly converted it to a manual. have you read how many honda auto's have failed even without any sort of forced induction at all?

there was a guy on another board that boosted his f22 auto and in about 6months the tranny started slipping badly.

manuals take the extra power alot better and you can upgrade the clutch. automatics you cant really do much unless you spend some major coin on upgrading the torque convertor / stall speed, clutch packets, etc. etc...

 

from what ive experienced. (my 98 with auto and 83k on it) has never let me down before. I think a lot of them are lemons but on occasion an accord with a decent tranny with show up ( like mine i think ). i mean how long does it take for these trannys to suck?

now add an extra 70-80hp that it wasnt made to handle and see how well it does.

 

My tranny went out in March and no major mods done to my ride. Just think what would happen when you add major boost. Got in my car and couldn't go in reverse lol. I was like f*ck.

 

this tranny stuff is depressing i mean if they were that bad than why didnt they have a major recall on them and put good ones in? too much money to redo the cars i guess?

What!?!?!?! I was positive the 5th gen V6 was sedan only. Are you sure its not just re-badged? Wow, you just blew my mind. I have never, ever seen one. Something to look for I guess

Theres like one that I know of. If you search the net theres a site that made one for the c27. It was featured in one of the magazines awhile back. It was for a frist gen legend 5spd though, not Accord. You can do the 5spd swap then turbo so its totally doable.

 

speedoptions had the article about the 5th gen v6 w/ the manual legend conversion, it wasnt exactly all bolt in/plug and play.

and turbo you know of ONE setup, most likely custom. of course anything is doable but for the money and outcome.. why do it?

Theres actually a guy on here who had the conversion on his 5th gen as well. It was posted recently so you can search him up.

I would say do it to be original. Who else has one besides that one guy? If you think like that then why attempt anything in life if it hasnt been done.

well i dont have an accord but i do have an AT civic ex, i did all the bolt on mods to it, still just a slow civic, i was thinkin Turbo, but i got a Jacksonracing Supercharger installed, Made a HUGE diff night and day, beats up on Si's. This is an everyday driver it only has 71,000 miles on.
There is a companny that makes chips for AT hondas and allows the AT tranny to shift at higher Rpms mine goes to 7000-7500 on full boost before it shifts gears.
there web site is Jetchip.com it cost $399 to have it done to Jet

AT+JETCHIP+forced induction=

if you dont think about costs and outcomes you will be one poor man.

its like building a mansion in compton? its original no one else has one...

does the outcome outweigh the costs? IMO no.

 

Depending on your budget, you can pick up a Level 10 tranny rebuild kit. They make those trannies able to take the abuse. Level 10 offers many different things for to help strenghten the tranny but it will cost you some money. It may be more cost effective to switch to manual.

 

The only difference between my car and hers is leather and V6 otherwise they look identical. Her car is 3" longer as well. Another friend of mine has a 96 V6 coupe that is gray on the inside versus tan for me and my friend

They only come in sedans...must been some kind of mix up or major custom work done.
