i have a 94' honda accord with a full transmission and engine swap consisting of an H22a. I finally got the turbo kit pieces together and i am going to start putting it on the car this weekend. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i could tune an A/T car what would i need to self tune it or who could i talk to for advice on what i need and how to do it anything would be greatly apprececiated.

 

ditch the auto tranny if you wanna make life easy

 

What parts do you have for your 'turbo kit'? What kind of management are you going to use??

Definitely do a manual swap before you do anything else.

I would consult with levelten.com about what you need to make boost with an auto tranny. I have been researching this, and I have come to the conclusion, for the same amount of money spent into making the autotranny work for boost is not worth it in the end.

The problem you will run into is not getting the TCU to work right with the boost. Your tranny will not shift correctly making your car useless unless you have the tranny setup with a modified TCU that will read the boost correctly allowing the car to drive normally under boost.

i hear it's difficult to do a manual swap is this true or do i just need the right tools?

 

i never realized there was a map sensor signal going into the TCU. so waht happens when the TCU senses boost?

 

Another problem with tuning an auto Prelude is that the ECU actually pulls timing slightly when shifting to result in a smoother shift. In a delicate turbo setup, any unwanted change in timing could be disastrous...
