Automatic Turbo??

[vtecguy01]

I was talkin to this guy at a wendys this weekend and he said that he was running a greddy turbo and Nos in an Automatic civic. Can you run a turbo on an automatic? or was he just givin me b/s.

If you can get your car to shift later. Tweak the ECU or w/e ten an auto would be faster (cept for dropping the clutch and launching) with an auto you cdont lose boost shifting!

 

[joe7987]

yes, you can run it on low boost (3-4 psi)... you can raise it up a little if you have a tranny cooler.... you can bump it up a lot if you get your tranny built.

 

[Jezek]

Waste of time and money....yes!!

 

[ikillradio]

auto trannys are weak, it can be done but they will break quickly with high boost even with tranny coolers

you can slam your d**k in the door but why would you? Same with auto-turbo, only a little less embarassing.

bwahahahaha..totally sig worthy liek west said..

 

[hkt03]

you can, but its not worth it. you'll blow through trannys like no other. that and no one will want to help you because you got an auto..

 

[RKSskier]

hey if you going to have a really slow automatic, why not make it an automatic thats not quite as slow? ...... and no I dont drive an auto!

 

[cgpEJ6]

It might not be the most cost effective thing to do but sure you can. I wouldn't do it but if you run low psi and arent hurting your car I wouldn't ever think down upon anyone doing it. As long as you arent breaking anything turbo is always better than no turbo.
1995 Honda Civic EX, 36.7 psi

i got a greddy kit on my 00ex auto, it works fine. had it set at 7-8 psi for over a year and the tranny is still doing fine and i don't have a tranny cooler. yes a 5 speed will be a lot faster but it's still fun

 

[OMGWTFLOL]

Instead of turbo, you should get NOS.

my friends 93 or so rx-7 tt...auto...= slow

I can't fathom what goes on your tiny little head.

Oh no, I'd say the turbo auto is more embarassing. Come on, everyone can see it... You don't have to tell anyone you slammed your cock in a door though. Slamming your cock is just more painful... physically. Turbo autos are something you can never live down.

There is a way to help an auto tranny. Swap (motor or trans, as long as that tranny gets dumped).

 

[DaGFTDOne]

Im bringing this back to life, w/ a tranny cooler how high of boost could you run on an auto/turbo setup?

the GN would disagree.
