The funny thing about most of these forums is that any question that is asked the answer always tend to be he said she said bullshit....................or if there is a kill story it is all bullshit too.....damn.........anyway here is my experience with auto civics.....I've been an Import performance mechanic for over 15 years and I too had an adventure with a 93 Civic EX Auto and wanted to trip people out at the streetraces and the track. So we had started runnin' NOS. Only a 50 shot at first and than gradually worked it up to a 100 shot(alot of late night tuning sessions and boxes of spark plugs later)....runnin' high 13's, low 14's at the track, smokin alot of people with manuals because there wasn't really any tire spin off the line and it pulled all the way to redline than shifted, than growing tired of filling the bottle we installed a used Drag turbo kit for a 91 CRX Si runnin" 9 to 12 pounds and eventually hit 12.99 at the track ..it was easy hold the brake, stick it in "D" push the gas until the boost comes online and wait for the green, than floor it.............everything worked out fine for over a year and than we wanted more, so we dropped in a built B18b LS with an auto trans with a td04e turbo......and that was the biggest mistake ever, LS auto tranny's suck and Level 10 couldn't even build one to handle the thrashing.....a few tranny's later someone rolled out an Turbo H22 turbo hatch with an Auto and broke into the 12's with ease and no tranny problems either...... we eventually changed it to stick and sold it off to start another project..............so I say drop in the Turbo and get it professionally tuned so you can enjoy it without worrying about it's dependability and thrash all the s**t-talkers........................peace
