get ready for answer such as:

"sell your car and buy a manual"

"autos suck"

"no point"

"search the forums"

Hope you get what you are looking for.

 

From what I hear, the automatic transmision just cant handle the extra HP that a turbo deliver. If you still want more power I would suggest cams, breather mods, and then a fresh tune on a dyno or with Hondata or Uberdata.

 

As I have said before, the auto trans soaks up so much power, nothing short of a turbocharger or supercharger will make a meaningful difference in performance.

At the same time, however, the automatic transmissions are quite fragile. When you start adding another 50 hp or more, a lot more heat is generated internal to the transmission and it's that heat that leads to internal failures.

So if you want a fast automatic Integra, budget an additional $1000 to have a transmission shop (like Area 51, if they're still in biz) to completely overhaul and upgrade the transmission internals.

 

And that $1000 dollars is on top of the costs for actually turbocharging the motor.
So at an absolute minimum, you're looking at $3500 in motor and trans.

 

Yeap I fill your pain I'v herd it before when my ls use to be a AT

 

hm, then how much would it b to change my car to a stick?

 

sure.the.you.any.boost controller.only.

You spell like you grew up in DC. People are much more willing to help when they don't have to spend five minutes making sense out of what you type.Sell it and buy a manual..An auto should survive indefinately with a super-light wastegate spring and a boost controller set around five pounds.

 

teg auto trannys are notorious for breaking. my friend replaced his just under 110k miles i think >.<

turboing it wouldnt help

 

sorry to be the bringer of bad news...but your integra was made in japan :reechy:
