i have an automatic dx 95 civic , can i do a b20 swap with an auto ls trany? i do not want to do a 5-speed conversion because of the cutting and welding the trany brace.

 

Yeah im pretty sure since the man. Ls tranny will work but what really is the point in that??

 

levelten (auto trany parts) and tubo or jrss after swap works out , and i'm stuck with this car for a few years . it's my first car

 

that auto tranny is gonna kill you.
if you b20 and turbo youll be lucky in the 13's. if you did the manual conversion it could hit a low 12

 

what is killing me is the 1.5 auto , that is want to do this swap. 13 sec. auto sounds cool to me.

 

just go ahead and convert to a manual. its just better, u get to know your car better, and its faster.

 

wouldnt you rather have a 12 second car? im sorry but if the car is capable i would do everything in my power to get it to there. its not that big of a deal to convert to manual tranny. i would do it for a 1 second+ drop in my 1/4 (if mine wasnt already a manual)
besides hp+torque+auto tranny=boom

i am not shure about the tubo yet , anyway i will not be running it at the track any. its more of daily driver. i just want it to have more power. it is not much slower than my friends 93 dx 5speed with same mods.

 

you are gonna spend that much money on building a b20 turbo, and not spend the extra 300$ to convert it to a manual?!?!?!?!?!?!? also, i would think that the power of a turbo b20 would tear an auto p.o.s. tranny apart.........?

 

i said i am don't know if i would turbo it or not , it was just a thought . i am going to do the swap anyway, because there is nothing to do with the d15 . levelten makes parts for auto trany that make it stong and as good as a manual . they are the company that builds automatics for high power tt supera . if i did not have cut or weld any trany mounts then i would do a manual conversion.

 

good call staying with the auto if your not comfortable doing the work!! Id swap mine if it wasnt a 5spd already, but more power to you for knowing what you want and not letting everyone talk you outa it!

 

thanks for the support man

 

well, some advice for you. you will be held back with the auto tranny. not only is the cars potential traped, so is yours.

 

Advice....learn how to drive a stick...

I converted my car to manual when i did my swap...and i would NEVER EVER EVER go back!!!

 

i knew that was going to come up . i do know how to drive a stick , took a hole 30 min. to learn

 

yummy!! My buds built b20/vtec turbo!

If it's just a daily driver that will see no track use, then why bother swapping it at all?

I just helped my friend convert his 94 DX to manual and you don't have to cut and weld anything. I don't know why everybody says that??????

 

hey can you please tell his setup just wondering llike turbo kit and head and other **** thanks
