Well you would have to get a custom manifold made, as I don't think there is one available. Then you would need custom piping, then to the trickiest part, engine management. You are OBD2, V6, and automatic............the trifecta from hell when it comes to tuning.

If you could get the manifold, I'd think that you could tune on a V_AFC like Kevin. Also, auto turbo isn't a bad idea at all!!!! Built in no-lift-shift to keep the boost flowing!!

I'm just saying no chipped ECUs or Hondata will work with an auto or a v6 for that matter...............you know............all the good tuning system :-p

Luckily, Honda's ECU's are dumb, so a sophisticated mapping system like my FIC isn't needed, LOL.

Luckly for Honda ECUs your turbo appears to just be a paper weight that will never be put to use!

so i was looking through the engine and was jus curious as to where the thing would fit? like the v6 is a tight fit in there and to put a turbo???? so what you all are sayin is i can keep the ecu right? and get the right manifold? well i know that there is some people around here that can build me the header! also, i dont plan on running crazy boost eaither, really im not into the whole fastest in town kinda thing i just want to have a little more fun! the car is really fun to drive now but a little more power would be nice,, also has anybody seen a green twin turbo acura with the honda v6 on any fourms? i seen the guy here in holland michigan, it was a sick setup, and im sure he can help me out a bit, ohh does anyone know of any other v6 turbos runnin the auto? let me know
thanks alot fells
ttyl peace
