Default Automatic H2B, tuned on NepTune. Yes it's possible

First known automatic H2B in the world, tuned on NepTune with custom shift points. H23 bluetop with a Gsr tranny. First night out with the car, we will keep this thread updated.




Just a couple test passes

What year GSR did the automatic transmission come from? I really like this, interested to see how this turns out and how long the transmission holds up.

What advantage would this be over a JDM H22 92-95 Auto LSD trans? That would be my question other then spending $800 on the kit. None the less like the uniqueness. What were the dyno #'s?

Japanese tranny, tranny should hold up just fine.. We hope. Running a tranny cooler separate from the radiator and it seems to be working way better than stock

sounds like it shifts like wet donut

needs better gearing and better firmer shifts, your loosing a lot of acceleration with those shift



i gotta ask, why do this with an auto?

are you handicapped in a way that you need to drive an auto?

if its an auto because its a daily, then why the motor swap and loud exhaust, doesnt that defeat the purspose of having a daily driver?

x2. However, I'm sure you guys are still testing different things.

Are you guys still using OEM torque converter and flex plate?

These test passes were on overdrive, haven't tested manual shifts yet. Customer originally bought the car with a bad tranny and wanted it to be drivable. We all wanted to try something different so that's why we went this route

Everything is OEM, this was the first night of tuning.

Finally testing manual shift, this has even surprised us. It's is much faster in manual. We are still learning the way the transmission reacts. Preloading was tested today as well but didn't get any video, we will update with better results

Is there trans go kits for these auto trannys??
TO make the shifts crispier, might be worth it to have.

Congrats, nicely done!

As to why this is interesting, if you build an automatic to take the power, you can get way more consistent track times because its all managed for you. No missed shifts or grinds due to trashed synchros.

This would open the H-powered doors to non-traditional enthusiasts, people that would love to mod, but are shut out of the engine modding/racing world because they can't drive a manual. Think of your girlfriends guys ... Not to mention, this would make street driving your race car more manageable, especially if you could have separate shifting maps. Again ... think of your girlfriends ... you might not want to mention this ... lol

Personally, I wouldn't do it to one of my cars, to me, part of the allure of racing is shifting, being in control of all aspects of the car. In this world of automation where everything is done for you, I like the mechanical nature of a manual. Call me nostalgic, but that's my take.

We went out Friday night and the integra got called out by a B16 EK on a 75 shot. Ended up running from a dig and this is the only footage we got, sorry about our dumb friend talking in the background.
