Turbo Kits on Auto Tranny

[[stealth]]

Will it hold out.. if driven normally.. and not thrashed too much etc?

Or too much stress on the box in general?

Is there anyway to strengthen the tranny at all?

i doubt it..
apparently honda auto gearboxes are shockingly weak..

WHAT!! mate go slap yourself! honda boxes have been known to hold in excess of 500hp! they are very strong!

[tRipitaka]

my bad.. i meant the auto tranny.. that they don't handle that well with boost.. or so i have been told
hmmm sorry if i'm wrong..

yeah can anyone confirm this... will it definetely put too much stress on a auto tranny?

try researching on Honda-tech for more valid input - there are lost of guys over there that have done this type of conversion and can tell you with first hand experience.

Only input i can say is - turbo setup mated to a engine with a auto box = waste of money IMO. You might get the occasional BOV noise - but auto boxes arent made for top end BOOST yo. (some one who knows please fill us in !)

well thats a different story then, yeah auto boxes may be different, has to strength i wouldnt know, all i know is standard manual honda boxes are tough. lol. sorry about the outburst tripitaka.

the auto trannys are limited in how much power they can hold, but a low boost turbo set up should be ok, just don't push it over 6-7 psi. They're pretty common out here, don't go trying to push that much power through them though. Also, an aftermarket tranny cooler is a good thing to add when putting extra stress onto the tranny.
