+1 for AT + turbo ) No misshifts , longer gears, just pushing pedal hard and crying AAAAAAAArrrggghhhhh and everyone is in the dust )))

^^^Agree. I have a supercharge w/ auto and love it. Thought about the conversion at first. But the car is a bit of a rocket even with the auto.

All you need is the torque converter and an oil cooler.

TSX_WS · 11-01-2009, 05:08 PM

^ Do u think it can hold 400WHP and 350 WTQ with only a modded TQ converter? Hmmm

northbridge · 11-01-2009, 05:32 PM

^ yeah from that thread you linked kuma it didnt seem like it...

if it does, that would be great.

They build the torque converters based on how much hp you want it to handle.

I meant to ask "do u think the rest of the tranny will hold that much?"

Torque kills transmissions not horsepower. You can push a million horsepower through a stock auto with out any problems if there's little tq. Horsepower is merely a measure of work output for an engine. Even though hp is proportional to tq at rev.

Please no any other question like i saw something there and ive listen something here is it true or not ?

Ok thanks my friend

nice to know i have someone on here running around on a EDM accord that i can talk to

Now this is s noob question but dual ECU?? what is that...my old d17 did not have to run dual ecu and that had hondata.

aem f/ic? i cant see that being great most people tried it with boost over on 7thgenhonda and civicforums and hated it.

I just got off the phone with IPT. They recommend that the whole tranny be rebuilt for those power levels. A MT swap would be cheaper

$3550 total.
then i'd have to pay labor to drop the transmission and reinstall...

Im starting to think that instead of trying to work high HP out of this car, i should part out and just move on

i've always wanted an is350 or a 370z

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but what did u expect? You want to make a slow, 200hp, fwd, N/A family sedan fly down the drag strip in under 12 seconds and push over twice the amount of power it pushes in stock form and want it to be cheap to build? As kids these days say, "get real, man".
