d series transmission strength?
 

i was talking with the guy from my local shop and he told me that my AUTOMATIC would not last long under boost witha d series. is this true or not? any way to strengthen or prevent this?

i dunno about the trans itself but i doubt the torque converter would hold up to much power

Swap to a manual if you can.

My buddy has a 95 Civic EX auto. bossting 11psi and it holds very good. All you need is a different torque converter.

Who makes aftermarket Torque convertors for honda again?

I'm gonna boost the ---- out of my automatic here pretty soon.

werd on levelten.com. some ricer comes out to PIR with level ten shift kit and convertor and runs a consistent 14.8 on a greddy kit at 10psi. poop.

Why don't you just go with a manual? Turboing a auto car is kinda a waste cause if you get a bigger turbo your never gonna see full boost cause you car is gonna shift before it ever hits. Maybe just get a smaller turbo like a rhb5 or a small t3.

i'v seen some converters that would work well for boosted app...my friend and i want to try and modify a converter in order to increase or decrease fluid pressure in the converter so that it can ingage at different rpm..it would be simpler then the current ones..but yea..unless you have lots of cash i'd go manual
