honda's manual trans is built stronger then the auto's are, which is why people say if you turbo an auto you should put a trans cooler on it.You still can only run so much boost before the trans cooler isnt effective anymore

and that will kill the trans faster then the turbo will ^_- but its not like you cant get a turbo that will spool up at about 2500 rpms if not lower besides, its cheaper then a supercharger

Why do you keep saying "turbo isnt meant for an auto"? Toyota released Supras from the factory with auto and turbo, Subaru has done the same with WRXs...

i think hes saying that because most auto's dont survive much longer after having a turbo put on them, but yeah, its not just auto supra's that have them, volvo's the wrx and a few others
ultimately its up to the quality of the trans that decides how well it holds up

I would agree, with an auto I wouldn't go over 8 psi and make sure that you have an intercooler on the tranny to help it out...

yeah i might go with the turbo...i looked around and the turbo kit is about 3-4 where as the super charger is about 4-5 which is a little too much for me because as i said before i was willing to spend 3-4 g's only... and another car that i know that has turbo is a legacy...my friend has one and its a auto also...but anyhow does anyone know where i can find a decent turbo kit and tranny cooler at????

For turbos i seen people build there own kit by buying stuff off ebay. This usually cost them around 1-2g. If you want the whole kit with no hastle i hear turbokentics(hope i spelled it close enough)is very good. For a tranny cooler i heard you can get one off ebay for like $40 bucks. there also another way of power up your car, by going to the junk yard and picking off superchargers off old benz. I dont know if this is ture but i heard a guy take a benz superchrager from a junk yard benz and put it in his 93 accord lx manual. It gave him 50 ponies. h was running i tink 170hp or 180hp although i dont know if its true.
