How To Turbo An Automatic Integra or Civic (Pros & Cons) 

I don't care what people say if it's automatic but do what you do i respect it

I have a buddy that lost a leg in Afghanistan and he has a turbo b16 with auto trans. Spent $4k building a custom auto trans thats bulletproof. Everything was tuned with Haltech and he puts down right at 300 to the wheels. We followed the slammed enough car show across the country in 2020 and he kept winning trophies for unique builds

3 years and Bro is still answering questions. Thank you. I have a 99 lifted crv. I was thinking of the turbo but didnt know if he could be done.

Will be building mine this summer...I will be getting that transmission cooler...Great info

The external transmission works very well. I've hooked up a 2012 gsxr 1000 oil cooler on my 97 civic d15b. No slip!!

Thank you so much for making this video I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to put in the work to do a unique build I'm doing some research because even though my girlfriend wants to learn how to drive manual she feels more comfortable with automatic and I think that it's a perfect market for people who are looking to get into Hondas because they get overlooked so much people just want to throw away the Auto cars or swap them there's really a huge potential in the terms of used cheap automatic Honda's. Also in the truck world in the off-road world transmission coolers for automatics are basically like a standard aftermarket upgrade and they have a lot of benefits with those they even have gauges to monitor their transmission temps.

I had a mildly built prelude with the automatic/triptronic transmission. I put in a level ten torque converter with a higher stall speed. It made the car accelerate much better. I actually chirped the tire going into second. Unfortunately the car was totaled in a car crash.

The newer auto Honda/acuras make it easier to tune but the old stuff is a bit more work but doable, good work 👍

Thanks for the info!

Liked and subed. Appreciate the video. My wife has an automatic del sol, and she is not interested at all in swapping to manual🙄🤣 really wanna boost this thing, but afraid the auto slush box is not gonna be happy about it. When it finally dies, guess that would be a good reason to swap to 5spd and tell her she has to learn, but feel like that's kind of a dick move. Happy to see that this is atleast do able, and will most likely happen here in the near futur

Yoo this thing is sick!!

Did you include an aftermarket torque converter?

People forget about the engine before they hear what the transmission is. The power is the same despite the transmission, automatic cars are actually faster on a straight road at a rolling start. When it comes to a drag racing and tracks, manuals are a lot better. Still a nice car.

Interesting build nice teggy btw love it

The only reputable place I know that builds these is Level 10 Performance transmission out of new jersey... that being said I just built my own. I went with Allomatic hi energy clutches, translab shift kit, TC lube mod, and an upgraded 3200rpm stall converter. Two of the most important things to do are get a standalone cooler w/fan, and DEFINITELY get the tcm tuned and flashed. It's unfortunate that we cannot tune these in the car. I will be sending mine out to Level 10. The only shift kit available for these transmissions is very mild. You need computer tuning to run high enough pressures in these things... My car is an 01 accord LX 4 banger Shooting for 300whp

Thanks for sharing.... What Torque converter do you recommend? A link will help. Thank You.

Um is there other automatic engines for the Honda civic I can't find any

Can a hondata work on an OBD2 automatic with a OBD1 jumper harness?

Do you know if Hondata will work the same on my 90 Integra Auto Trans ? Just doing cams with CAI , Header. Catback. MSD Ignition. Probly add throttle body and intake . CNC porting & cam gears. Already have major suspension mods and brakes.

So here the Hidden Gem sir-ii civic had auto lsd b16 and sir-g so like jdm gs-r had automatic rev up 8k which i have pair with b20b with p8r head

I keep telling people Honda automatics are not like hydramatic or any automatic transmission due that thanks God honda wasn't able to use any patents and have to design their transmission from the scratch. So they replaced the shift fork for clutch packs and a hydraulic system to operate it and with the time/speed sensors and valves switches. Almost like a double clutch system works.

6:05 I feel personally attacked 💀

He forgot to mention that only OBD1 automatic civics and integras can be tuned with chiped or s300 because OBD2 civics and integras ecus are no chipeble and you cant do OBD1 conversation because OBD1 and OBD2 transmissions are different,OBD2 automatic transmissions have more sensores

Hey man. I know you mentioned running a S300. Was that mated to the stock ecu? Don’t remember if they are p75 or something like that.

Looking into this for my accord coupe

D16z6 with 1990 automatic d15b2 cable kick down I take that thing to 8 k rpm with pw0 obd0 ecu

I been shifting in my automatic for 5 years

How long has the transmission held up to this Turbo? And how much more horsepower over factory

Im actually thinking about supercharging a civic but i need to build the internals first😅

They do make a high stall torque converter

Trans lab makes a kit.

I have a Built Automatic...how did you get the radiator to fit

need to do the automatic turbo on my civic asap

The reason I want a automatic car is because to put it quite simply I tried to drive a manual Supra and after that never again I fucked it up.

Why don't you install a manual valve body, Then you could hold the As long as you want

Nice men

Did you use the stock ecu or which one did you need to get?

Does manually selecting the gears hurt the auto trans?

idc what anyone says, automatics way better. i have a manual and i much rather have an automatic

Bros sweating in the sun like I did it I finally did it

Would it be better to use a jackson supercharger with am automatic or a turbo (( I want sound not power ))

Roughly what’s the price range to ONLY manual swap the car ? My engine runs great but I need it to be standard asap. 1996 civic sedan D16y7

I'm turbo my 96 accord

would that work for a dc5 auto

Can you down shift, how do you get round heel and toe... Keeping up the revs?

Where did you get the steering wheel 🤔

Autos win races. Now if your converter starts slipping it wasn't built right

Anyway to make my shitbox 01 accord coupe faster without a huge turbo build? I'm a broke boy but I wanna go fast Ricky Bobby.

is there any way to get in contact with you? i have some questions for a build a im doing rn 😭

If i drive it normal and driving it on a freeway and stay lower boost around 4 psi will it still miss up???

Does a conversion harness from obd2 to obd1 work for being able to run a hondata, cause I took my car to a tuning shop and they couldn't plug in the hondata to my ecu cause it doesn't work with obd2a ecu's so we were looking at getting a blox conversion harness, but I want to make sure that it will actually work cause hondatas are kind of expensive

My civic d16z automatic is turbocharged 10psi. Tranny doesn't last long going 3rd transmission

Fuck what everyone says I have had a few at cars and loved them all just like the mt ones

What kinda wing do you have?

I'm from Brazil, but I want to build a civic 92 automatic turbo sedan, does the original transmission handle 200hp on the wheels?

Has to be automatic ecu with hondata?

You say no problems tuning the auto. But then explain all the problems with tuning the auto. 😅 thanks

Was your car obd2 while you tuned it

Why you so tense man loosen up 😂

Would I be able to turbo my 2004 Honda Civic ? It’s automatic :/ ik how to drive stick but I can’t buy another car rn I might as well turbo this one if I can... help ... 🥲

*You Could Always Go From Auto To Manual Conversion Which Imma Do With My Del Sol*

Get rid of that wing might help with ur problems,y would put a wing on a front wheel drive,maybe a small lip spoiler

Has anyone tried installing a transmission cooler

I know this comment is years later but please someone tell me what's those types of wheels are called, I always see nice Hondas with those exact wheels and I want a pair so badly

Thought about a sequential transmission?

Can you turbocharger all auto cars ?

How much u paid in labor

I’m curious as to your ecu setup?

What i learned ....dont get a automatic....

Interesting but why ?

Damn this is a race car or a rice car?

wana

automatic 🤣 😂 🤣

fku

why not just manual swap. 90s honda auto trans are garbage

jajaja 😂automatic

That mic 🎙 is trash dollar kind or wtf

How to rice your car and look stupid cause it’s an auto and it’s gutted. For ? Exactly no reason

Jesus is King. He died for u and me for our sins simply because he love us so much. and he rose form the sea mann for he defeated death beloved onto the Lord Jesus Christ and u will be saved

stupid build waste of money

Autos win races. Now if your converter starts slipping it wasn't built right
