Right now i have a 98 civic lx auto (d16y7). I was thinking about doing a manual swap, but its just so much work and i cant sell the car to get a manual civic. So i had the thought of getting a B18b http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...d=1,1

This comes with an auto tranny which is perfect for me. Do you think it is smart to get this and eventually turbo it. I am only looking for around 250-200whp.

 

anyone pleaseeeee

 

i personally hate automatic cars, but in your case, it will save you some troubles. Turbo and automatic is a perfect match as the turbo will not have time to slow down much between shifts, reducing turbo lag. I don't know how strong Honda auto gearboxes are, so you might want to check into that.

 

thanksss. yea i dont really want to run a high psi, only like 7 or 8. Just want over 200whp as a daily driver.

 

no it's not worth it, and an auto to manual swap is not that hard, putting in an auto LS is actually way harder it's still a slow piece of ****

 

well i feel stupid because i dont even know what an auto ls is. im just the most handy and i dont want to try doing a manual swap and end up messing up my only form of transportation. My freind knows a guy who will help with a engine swap if i throw him some money, so i figure take the easy way out with the auto b18b turbo.

 

I can't remember his username, but there is/was somebody on here putting down ~200-250whp on the stock tranny with no problems.

 

i know if i ran 250hp on my current tranny it would blow up just sitting there. but i figure with the stronger tranny with the b18b it should be able to handle the extra power

 

honda auto transmission + boost = trouble
