Okay guys, I have an 01' automatic Accord. I can't get hondata due to an IAC problem, and other standalones won't work with an automatic. I still want to keep my automatic because I already ordered the level ten kit. The question is, how much boost would you think a sleeved/rod/piston engine can take on a FMU settup? I know it's going to depend a lot on the tunning, but just throw some educated guesses at me please.

 

I thought the AEM controlled auto trannies.

 

SCC did a report on a boosted auto Accord built by HKS a few years back, they put down about 300 at the wheel, but had transmission problems, the trans can't handle that much power.

 

Yeah I know that's why I'm going to install the level ten kit to beef up the auto tranny. But how much can you go with an FMU setup. Do you think it'll be okay to take it up 10 daily and 15-17 every once in a while?

 

I wouldn't boost that much with an FMU deal. I don't trust FMUs at all, even tho some people say they don't have problems.

 

I guess the only real answer to this is when I can't keep a steady A/F ratio then it's too much.

 

why not just remove the IAC, and use VSV's off the ps and a/c to raise the base idle when they come on...

 

Because, secret services and hondata will not warranty any "rigging". I know putting a turbo in a non-turboed car is already rigging, but it's not me making the rules.
