Hi,
Can you please elaborate on the downpide being too low and the "bye bye to tranny" part? I don't know much about these turbo things but open to learn so if you can help, that will be great...I really want to take the sluggish off my car...haha

The 98+ model accords equipped with the v6 engine have faulty trannies. The fail rate of those trannies are 51% which is more than half. By installing a turbo, you increase that chance to even 99% since the extra power hits the tranny, and the tranny cannot withstand that force of added power.
The other thing is the downpipe which connect to the intercooler. The easiest way is the one shown here
See how low the downpipe hangs? By going over a speedbump or potholes, you're just asking for trouble. Of course there's always around to everything. A custom fab downpipe, but that will cost alot.
And there is a solution to the tranny also, which is to swap in a manual.

Neither couldpossibly be a quality product for that low of a price. Plus both items say "All sales are final." & "No tech support." What are you going to do if parts don't fit or something is left out? I also saw one feedback that said "parts missing and wrong parts." I wouldn't even think about buying this. It looks like a piece of crap to me. I good turbo "kit" is going to run you around$4k. You could probably piece one together for $1,500 or $2k if you got good deals on the individual parts.

i would also like to note, thats not a down pipe..... thats the charge piping/innercooler piping...... the downpipe is what comes off the turbo exaust connecting it to the cat (assuming you have one)

Hey all,
So as for my 98 Accord V6 Auto....there can't be any mods done to speed it up then huh? Since some of you recommend not to because the TRANNY can't handle it. I actually got the Tranny replace @ 107K and I still have about 15K left of the warranty. The model I have is really nice lookin but it sucks that you can't seem to add anything to it.
If I decide to throw in nitrous, will the V6 Auto be able to handle it and the brand VENOM with the computer shut-off, is that the best way?
Thanks guys!

I plan to go with a NX 75 wet shot. Get a hayden 403 tranny cooler first though.
