Yes you can turbocharge an automatic. Take a look at..Saab, Subaru, diesel trucks, honda, ....etc.

By the wording of your question it seems you don't quite have the concept of turbocharging so I'd suggest searching the site and reading up or hit up google or wikipedia.

turbo has nothing at all to do with the transmission. you need to do some research. turboing an auto trans car would bea tradgedy in my opinion....a total waste of time and money(no offense kevinaccord)

you're better off selling that one and buying a manual trans accord. the cost of the swap (if you don't do it youself) would be more than the car is worth

If you wanted to swap to manual and pay a shop to do it, you would probably spend that much in the end. Plus I I think you would have to use an older model Acura Legend transmission. I'm not positive which one fits. I guess the year models that used the 2.7

Well I would much rather sell my car for 4 grand, but i took out a personal loan, so i would have to pay my loan officer the 4 grand and take out a bigger loan to buy a nicer car, but i got my 95' for only 2,900 so i took the deal....I got the check engine light to go off, and did the exhaust and put corner lights in, so it doesnt look and or sound like total crap anymore....Do you think i could get 4 grand out of it?
