Honda automatic trannies cannot handle the stress of turbo for a long period of time.

Soon, you'll be looking for a new tranny.

That's why you install tranny cooler.

true. parts alone will be about $800 for a low milage tranny. there are a s**t load of misc. crap. i just cnverted mine a month ago. i did most of the actual install myself and got stuck on what to do with the ecu. to do it right you needa throw in a manual ECU...which will need to be reflashed by honda so your key will work (immoblilizer). $1000 is a good ball park figure. now..if you get someone to install for you...$500 - $800 of labor. its sooo labor intensive.

now back to topic at hand. FI! since no one makes a supercharger kitt for 01+, and no one ever will, turbo is the only way to go. i know guys who run 200+ HP on stock auto tranny...but they have tranny cooler and JMO torque converter. which are crucial.

companies: Stafford Fabrications (kinda sketchy at times), Turbo Discounters, Maxrev, Dezod is coming out with one as someone mentioned, and i heard cybernations is coming out with a turbo kit for us with the Guardian Fuel system :twisted: . And then, there's custom turbo-ing, which is the route i'd recommend.
