RE: Is it worth it? - 6/3/2007 9:19:07 AM    pyaarawala Posts: 413 Joined: 5/19/2007 Status: offline I'm also planning a future engine swap, but I'm really only changing the head. Are you trying to change the engine head AND block? Because your block should be fine, you should just get an H22 DOHC Vtec Head rather than this SOHC. Also, to those of you who said to convert to a manual instead of just staying with automatic. Isn't it probably a very difficult and costly task to change transmissions and install? How would you go about doing it? Most transmission places just say they won't bother touching the car, or they ask for a ridiculous price. What needs to be changed to switch to a manual, besides the transmission block itself. _____________________________ 1998 Honda Accord EX Coupe 4cyl AT basic bolt-ons, dropped, several show mods.

RE: Is it worth it? - 6/4/2007 7:37:43 PM    pyaarawala Posts: 413 Joined: 5/19/2007 Status: offline Can you have a turbo on an automatic? Does it make any difference than it would be if it were a manual? The only reason I'm not going all out on performance for my car is strictly because it's an automatic. _____________________________ 1998 Honda Accord EX Coupe 4cyl AT basic bolt-ons, dropped, several show mods.

RE: Is it worth it? - 6/6/2007 4:47:42 AM    j_man_honda Posts: 1191 Joined: 1/8/2007 From: South Carolina Status: online You're a brave man putting that turbo on an automatic! Every forum that I've been on says that boosting an auto accord causes major transmission problems. That's the only reason I haven't boosted my car yet! Let me know how your transmission does because I would hate to go through the trouble of a 5 speed swap when I could've just boosted my automatic. _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to KevinAccord) Post #: 27

RE: Is it worth it? - 6/6/2007 6:20:52 AM    pyaarawala Posts: 413 Joined: 5/19/2007 Status: offline I don't think it has a difference on the trany, but if I were to get a turbo I would get a better trany, if anything, a 5 speed. j_man_honda, You swapped over to a 5speed? How difficult was it? How much did it cost and what parts did you need to switch over? A lot of transmission shops I asked kept saying you need to change a ridiculous number of things and it's an insane amount of work. But if you're gonna spend so much money on your car I guess a swap isn't so bad. _____________________________ 1998 Honda Accord EX Coupe 4cyl AT basic bolt-ons, dropped, several show mods.
