Turbo Automatic
 

Just wondering if anybody has a turbo kit in an Automatic. Cause i'm currently doing a kit for an automatic integra Ls and was wondering how automatics take boost.
Please share your experiences.

Thanks

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

Not much boost as I've read, but there is an automatic cavalier on this site that is Boosted...

Semnos,

Actually there is a sunfire auto too ;) lol

I'm not sure on the capabilites of your auto but ours are actually stronger than the manual transmissions.

I beleive the tranny in my car and matts are rated up to 250 ft lbs of torque :) and I've seen them take 75 - 100 shots of nitrous without a problem.

Mine as 135k on the trans and still holding strong

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

sucks period.

u loose alot of power through an auto trani, plus they are pieces of ---- when it comes to holding power.

if u really wanna go that route get a new tq converter.

I know that auto tranny's are not great but my friend doesnt want to change it to a manual. I guess we will see what happens. ;D He will be runing 8-10PSI.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

Not really worth the money that you have to pour into an auto to get what you want out of it. Now take a TH-400 or 700r4 (raptor) and you have an ass hauling transmission, but that's after a lot of money into it. What year car? I never liked those sport shift integra transmissions anyways.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

LS TRANNIES CANNOT TAKE BOOST

i blew mine up with only a venom 400

tell ur friend hes gay and he should switch to stick

8-10psi lol...might as well leave it in neutral and rev it

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

What year LS transmission?

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

2000 LS

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

I know an accord cant take it the tranny has needed a rebuild after only a few hundred miles.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

yeah Airtronics...I meant you though, but I typed Cavalier...they're both the same so...

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

I have a '90 Integra RS automatic awaiting my return in florida. The transmission has about 5000 miles on a $1,400 rebuild. Too scared to boost it and break it. So I either do the swap to a cable tranny or just find another car to play with.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

yeah i personally wouldnt like to find out... id just do the swap.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

ive been boosted @6psi for a year, tranny seems fine... 98 civic ex.... just upped to 8psi 2day!

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

Iceman05: Cool. How does your car feel when boost kicks in?

We should be installing the kit within two weeks. I hope the tranny holds.

im rick james bitch.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

i was running 9 psi on my auo accord 95 vtec. it was running good until i blew the engine. i got an engine from junkyard. i be boosted again soon. i just need to make a need turbo mani.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

Hmm... just don't know about that shitty LS automatic transmission.

I am a very firm believer in certain domestic transmissions (4L60/700r4) if properly built.

But this shitty honda "sport shift" transmission. I've been in enough 90-93 accords to tell that it's pretty much the exact same piece of ----.

Hate to destroy a transmission worth so much, either I can find a B20a preulde cable tranny for real cheap and throw that in, or just go out and find another project car (F22a1) to build a turbo on.

Any other suggestions?

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

quadnie- Its not a "sport shift" transmission.

For the record I have tried to get my friend to swap the tranny but he refuses. I think the tranny can take it as long as he stays with low boost. ;D

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

Fist thing to do is get the best exturnal tranny cooler you can find !!!

Then look for replacments.

My friend is going to be boost about 6 PSI on his accrod in a few months, then the H22 with come in... Then we'll see how long the auto H22 tranny last on 8-10psi.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

My DelSlow started as an auto (SOHC). The next upgrade was to convert to a manual. Huge differance

If your friend is looking for some pep. Then stick w/auto. For real fun, he'll have to do a conversion.

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

i think by sport shift he means the engagement from gear to gear is ruff

on the newer civics its more like a dimmer than a gear shift

Re:Turbo Automatic
 

But it has that button that makes the little dummy light switch around on the dash board just like the 90-93 accords.

I think the word "sport" is incorporated in there someplace. ----, I don't know.. that transmission has caused me enough grief then to have to look up the specs on it. I'll stick to being a shot caller on 700r4 and AW-71 auto transmissions.
