Actually, I read at the TSX forums that the auto box is more suitable for supercharger use as it is tougher than the manual box. Wonder how true this is....
stock for stock it may indeed be true... but id prefer a manual tranny with a HD clutch. Not sure if it would last as long, but it'd be a lot more fun and give the driver a lot more control. I dont think an auto could ever truely entertain me, especially not on a track
ive also heard this about the mark IV supra's.Quote:

I reckon modern autoboxes from good manufacturers are pretty tough. The only downside is the limit at which the input shaft can spin as the torque convertor can't handle too high an input RPM.
A friend advised me to get a better torque convertor, would that help?
ive heard of some TSX guys looking at this option - probably would help you launch the car? :confused:
Better yet, find a way to lockup the torque convertor at a lower RPM. At the moment, I think it locks up at about 5000ish?
A bit off topic here, but which engine is more tunable, the K20 or K24?......I'm going to japan early next year, and I*was recommended to find a Euro R front cut, and do a swap, I know that it's a little absurd, but hey, I can get that damn manual transmission that way. costly. but an option....
ajay i think u will find the k20 more tunable well at least i think haha =P good luck with the euro r swap
waste of time and money imo considering you need to ship half a car from Japan and getting that half cut on the road in your Euro will cost plenty of $$$. The Comptech Supercharger for the K24 would be better bang for buck and far more powerful than a stock Euro R. The K24 has plenty of potential as we have seen with the preliminary Hondata results - so why you would want to go to a lower displacement engine with less torque I have no idea.Quote:
