turbo auto d! hey guys...i got somethin for all you turbo guys. im still new to all this turbo stuff so if i can get an opinion and some better knowledge from people that know what theyre talking about, id appreciate it. (Cause ppl around here think they know everything) Alrighty, i have a 96 civic ex with a D16Y8 and auto tranny. Everyone tells me i should just build the motor and turbo it with the auto tranny. Im still not sure if im going to turbo it or swap a B into it. Most likely a motor swap. but either way i want to know about a turbo. but a couple ppl say i could "turbo an auto", "cause its nothin different than a 5 spd you just have constant boost" Not sure what to think about that. So are these ppl a buncha idiots or are they correct? lemme know guys! thanks in advance!

If I'm not wrong, the clutch bands can't hold the extra torque/HP without slipping. But if you plan on boosting just a little, say 8 psi. It'll be alright. On stock internals that is.

one of the least true statements ever.watisjdm said:no difference btw auto and 5spd
If you boost on the auto, you need to at least get a tranny cooler to help cope with the additional stress.
Anybody who tells you to just build the motor and boost the auto, is an idiot.matt96ex said:Everyone tells me i should just build the motor and turbo it with the auto tranny.
