Auto Turbo Vs Manual Turbo
 
Yea so i did all this work on a 92 Accord (m/t) to get a turbo in there and after about 2 days with boost ---- blew, now my question for you is, i have a 94 ls integra (a/t) i was thinking about putting the turbo in there, but im not sure if the tranny would hold, or how well it would work in a a/t car, i know b18bs hold boost quite well, and i would only be at around 5 lbs, so whats the better idea, fix the motor on the accord, or just throw it into the teg?

2 days of boost and it blew? What psi of boost were u running? How many miles? Automatic trannys are gay, and your car will be boring to drive unless you go manual tranny.. Next time i'd be sure to get a good tune before you drive it too much.

anyways, auto's suck and theres alot of drivetrain loss.

your auto transmission wont take to much power. and ya wont be that fun to drive either. if its a money issue your not going to want to broken down cars. if money isnt a issue just wait to fix the accord.

Yea i was using the base map, but it was only at 5 lbs, and i wasnt beating the hell out of it either, the motor was new, but i had a friend take it apart to put new gaskets and berrings in it, ( flame on ) and i KNOW it was a stupid thing to do, cause he rushed it and i think he put the motor backtogether wrong, anyway, i can put the old motor back in, 160,000 miles on it, but wasnt beat on, and never fucked with, should i just put that back in, at 5 lbs, and get a good tune, and call it a day.

No i didn't and people on this site can vouch for that, i SHOULD have done it myself, and i should have bulit it up more, to withstand like 100000 hp, well more like 400, but still, to swap the old motor back in is gona cost me 700, cause i cant do it, and everyone i know who could do it, has there own ---- they got to work on, i dont even know if its worth the money, if its just gona blow again.

IMO swapping a motor is easier than rebuilding one.
