F23 Turbo Auto

Ive read heaps of your post bout turboing a F23, i have a 1998 Accord 2.3L Auto with extractors an cat back 2 1/4 inch exauhst an a custom short ram intake, but are you guys running autos or manual boxes im running an auto and ive heard they are really weak an i drive mine pretty hard, Would a turbo applacation suit an F23 Auto???

a turbo will suit your car great. you would need to make sure its kept cool, change the fluid more often, and expect a possibly shorter lifespan

I'm running turbo with a 5 speed. 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.

An auto is more of a sleeper car just because you dont hear the bov until you take your foot off the gas. 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

my turbo fund is at $10.00 now!!! WHEEE! *LOL*

my turbo fund is at 0, but all i need is the down pipe *pouts*

hey man, 10 bucks is a start!

Im in australia an ive been having trouble getting performance parts for the honda ie turbo kits an stuff, is their any other turbo kits avaliable for my honda apart from the turbonetics version which i think is a fairly heffty price.

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

Would something like GReedy E-manage piggyback system be ok

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.

Im waiting on sum prices for an E-Mannage an E-Mannage Ultimite with the nessorcesry plugs an harness,
i couldnt belive some of the options in the software for the piggyback with the ultimate system they had everything in their, mite have to start a new kitty fund i think, ive also been chasing up some turbo exausht manifolds locally i might have to go custom not sure still researching really. U guys hav very good advice Thanks everyone !!!
