Civic-EG.com Forum 3.3.1

- Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:16 am #76062 Hello,
I'm new to the forum but not so new to honda. There's a lot of information here and a greatly organized place. But i need your help buddies. I've totaled my 02 civic ep3 and I'm about to move to the almighty EG civic sedan.
But it's AUTOMATIC. I don't have a problem with automatic infact at times I really didn't like shifting at all ( laziness kicks in in traffic and in neighborhoods)

I'm aiming to swap in a b20 and go from there but now that i'm thinking about it(though many will hate me for it) I think i'd like to keep it auto. if I can find good answers to my questions I could make the decision alot faster. My power goals are only 200+ whp and maybe more. which shouldn't be too hard. but im wondering:

Is there any auto transmission that would compliment the b20 better?
What upgrades can I do for a automatic tranny to handle boost and power? also better throttle response?
I'm not a fan of Dseries only because of the $$$ needed to get it to a stock b16 BUT do any of you know any good builds for a d series? ( and i dont just mean turbo then done i mean a actual BUILD)

Just let me know. I'm sure more thoughts will come up but i've always wanted to build a "sport sedan" modded more towards the luxary side and with enough power to say "bet you didn't see that coming" Hehe

- Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:57 am #76068 i know you can't boost turbo on an auto because the auto tranny is pretty weak.

- Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:29 am #76078 Maybe a good NA build would work?

- Mon Oct 27, 2008 2:42 am #76087 a B20vtec with a LS Auto Tranny could work, Would have to figure out the Vtec wiring.

I have thought of putting the Rods and Crank from a GSR2.0 stroker kit into a B20, Or a get B20 stroker and make it into a 2.2-2.4liter Put on the Vtec head and Nitrous it to make my power goals.

Autos are very convent for driving in the city and highways, However Manuals are much more fun when you get out and play. Thats why I have both a 01 Integra LS Auto(all stock) and a '94 Civic(Very not stock).

- Mon Oct 27, 2008 5:27 am #76110 i see i might be able to pull that off. though with my budget the auto will be a straight beater. i know manuals are fun though i guess you just can't get past that

If honda was a hooker she'd be the the cheapest but most loving and caring prostitute on the corner. She'd probably give freebies once in a while too.

whats there to figure out on the wiring?.... jsut use an Auto EX harness.....use an auto P30/P28/P72 ECU a JDM car and throw a map on it... just have to get a better torque converter and hope the trans can handle it..

Wrong. You can turbo an auto. Ive had a friend that had one. Its just like any other part on the car that cant handle that much power. You just cant boost the shit out of it. He had a stock tranny with something like 6 psi. it held up just fine. It wasnt FAST, but it was quick.

- Tue Oct 28, 2008 5:24 am #76246 But what can be done to a auto tranny to withstand maybe up to 10psi

- Thu Oct 30, 2008 4:48 pm #76610 do it

Fuck if I know, the transmission isn't what's seeing boost.

- Fri Oct 31, 2008 5:21 am #76701 PSi means next to nothing, Its how much air the Turbos Moving. 10 psi on a Small Turbo and 10 psi on a Big Turbo, or even a Medium Sized Turbo are much much different.

That Aside, A B20 Automatic with some help would be fun, Be it by Nitrous or Boost. Then you would have the comfort of an automatic, as well as most of the power of a b20. a Boosted B20 Auto would be fun to take to the Races.

Every time I reread this thread I am closer to putting the bottle on my Auto Integra LS.

The Good side about Going Automatic B Series is Transmissions are Cheap, Looking On Craigslist Locally they go for about the Same as a D Series Transmission.
