Am doing a turbo install for one my friends Honda Civic. But, the problem is that the car has an auto tranny, and my friend doesn't have the money to do a auto to manual conversion. So, i was wondering, does anyone know how much HP can a auto tranny take. We think the Engine should push around 210 - 240 Hp and around 150 - 170 Tr, after the turbo install. The tranny has about 70,000 miles on it.

I also wanted to know, does anyone know of any changes we can make in order for the tranny to handly this can of hp.

Thanks alot

it sould be fine lol... slow but fine

 

hes spending money on a turbo but not tranny swap? isnt a turbo more? unless its an ebay turbo or a free turbo

 

so you have money for a turbo... but no money for a tranny swap which should cost less than half of that?

it's probably a homemade one, or like pure junkward... or free parts.. cause even a homemade.. cost more then a tranny lol

 

If he can afford a turbocharger, he can afford a manual transmission.

If he doesn't replace the transmission now, he'll be replacing it later when it ***** the bed. Might as well do it right the first time.

 

the turbo is Free. After blowing my engine. The turbo was just sitting around; so I decided to put it work. With a custom made manifold = Free…just connections for that. A BOV from ebay around $60. Pips custom, oil lines, and intercooler around $200, also from ebay. And the turbo has an internal wastegate. Now the fuel management system is form my old car so it’s also free. So, overall the install the costing $ 260.00 plus a weekend of work.

But, thanks for your help regarding the auto tranny.
