The auto's aren't as bullet proof as the 5 speed, but you can turbo them without a problem. You will need a transmission cooler and should change the fluid much more regularly like lightshow said. And only use the honda stuff! Enjoy having the turbo spinning as you shift gears. That's the cool part of a turbo auto. _____________________________ 1996 Accord LX Coupe Suspension Techniques Springs KYB AGX Struts Turbocharged (in reply to Zambo) Post #: 3

But an oil cooler is a must, but if you can manage to find a larger radiator that is made for a 98 - 02 accord you will be good as gold cause your you will have a cooler running car all around (in reply to mbo1985) Post #: 4

RE: F23 Turbo Auto - 6/23/2006 2:18:38 AM    marbro Posts: 1478 Joined: 1/16/2006 Status: offline there are 2 or 3 different kits, but they all run around 3000, your only option would be piecing together a kit which has been listed a few times already through the threads, its easy enough to do seeing as most kits dont have any form of ecu upgrade or piggy back system (in reply to Zambo) Post #: 9

RE: F23 Turbo Auto - 6/23/2006 7:43:16 AM    mbo1985 Posts: 778 Joined: 12/11/2005 From: Florida Status: offline I thought about using e-manage when I did my turbo install. But when I read over the specs, it seemed like it was just an air/fuel hack (I could be wrong though). So for the money, I decided to go with a regular old FMU and Missing Link, along with an MSD Boost Timing Master (For Safety) so I could run low boost. In the mean time, I've been chipping a P06 ecu and I'm getting ready to buy a chip burner and all that junk so I can tune a chip for my honda and run some higher boost and bigger injectors with a proper engine management setup. The problem I saw with e-manage was it's ability to keep the engine managed down the road when I really turned the boost up. _____________________________ 1996 Accord LX Coupe Suspension Techniques Springs KYB AGX Struts Turbocharged (in reply to Zambo) Post #: 11
