Hi, I am new to this forum but I needed to know if I installed a turbo setup on my 93 honda civic with a d16 vtec swap in it and a 4 speed automatic would that work or would that be a bad idea?

As long as you are not planning on running high boost or making alot of power it will be fine.

When you say not alot of boost or power, what do you mean by that? What would be to much boost or power, I think that I am running at about 130hp right now.

130 hp? You must be running 3 bar

lol, your tranny should be fine to about 180 hp, or atleast thats what I've heard.

What are you saying? That my engine sucks? What do you mean a 3 bar? I am a little new to the import building but my engine is stock except for a k&n air filter. I think my engine is a d16 y6 vtec. This engine that was pulled was a d16 non vtec.

ur engine sucks but its not bad
ur tranny is the suckier one

I see. What do you suggest I do with the engine if I want to keep it?

its not really your engine its your transmission

Would there be alot involved in doig a transmission conversion? Is it worth the extra power that I will receive?

i converted my auto 93 civic to 95 ex manual tranny, best move i ever made. Accels better and the fealing of direct control of putting the power to the ground is worth the change, specialy if u plan on going turbo. Besides, MOST sport cars come manual only for a reason. ;-)
