Hey fellas- I have a 95 ex coupe, but because im a paraplegic in a wheelchair- I can only drive it with an auto trans obviously because my legs dont work. Now I recently redid my whole motor and installed a jdm D15B and put my turbo on it. I tune with crome and my lm2 wideband- but I cant change any of the shiftpoints with tuning the ecu. So- my question is, how can I go about changing the shiftpoints in my automatic so it will shift higher or harder? Does anyone make an aftermarket valvebody upgrade or is there any tricks that can be done to the trans to control the shiftpoints? I thought of getting a higher stall tq converter, but that isnt going to change my shiftpoints really so I am looking for a possible valvebody upgrade or something of the sort. Thanks in advance-

 

you can have them redo the transmission at IPT or TCI so your transmission can support more HP. you would need to rebuild the block to really need to use this type of transmission. stock ones if taken easy on can take up to 200hp.

 

I gotta give you some props for still being into motor sports. post some pics of your setup Id love to see it, as for the tranny, auto tranny's with honda's are the forgotten tranny when it comes to aftermarket. hopefully there is still something out there for you tho

 

ok- here are some pix of my setup before I did a major overhaul and put D15B motor in with a HUGE amount of upgrades... I am still in the middle of putting it together so I dont have pix of it finished yet. I heard from the guys that I bought the JDM motor from that he heard of some place years ago that did valvebody upgrades for the D16 auto trans but he couldnt remember where so i figured i would ask on here. this new setup should be done in a few weeks, then im on to my next project of doing the entire suspension and i mean EVERYTHING with all skunk2 products- that should really be a nice addition to the car. then lastly the only thing i gotta do is get it painted and im good!

 

right on, hopefully the manifold will hold up for you, Iv seen and heard alot of horror stories about them.

 

about the skunk2 manifolds?!? really? That damn thing was almost $300 so i better not have any problems with it!

 

no the turbo manifold lol. skunk2 intake mani will work just fine.

 

i dont realy have any input except i applaud you man!

 

thanks- ...its definitly as hard as it sounds/looks

 

level 10 does all the automatic upgrades

im curious to see how you make out with this because im venturing into the boosted world with my auto trans this summer and i wanna make sure it can handle the pressure of the high hp, it definitely needs valve body mods for sure along with the torque converter, but i dont really know where to look.

 

Back in the day i turboed a acura 1.6EL witch is a civic. The guy owns bulley clutch and he had to keep the car auto and he had a level10 built tranny i believe. I can ask him monday on what he did.
