Hey guys, For my 2003 Ex I was thinking about get a turbo kit, or putting together my own. Not for racing, just for some extra Zip. I was wondering if it was even worth it on an automatic Trans. Would the Trans go bad a lot faster? and will it just eat up any extra HP i try to get out of my motor. I'm not looking to push anything over 200 from the crank. I just want to have a faster car, on those days you just feel like pulling out of those tight corners a little faster then you should.

 

You'll be fine. It will add stress to the tranny but you can definitely do it. There's a couple people floating around here with boosted autos.

 

You don't want to push over 200 on stock rods anyway.

 

a heavy duty transmission cooler would be good insurance.

Im running my auto at 9PSI. 200WHP is fine on a stock motor, but idk about the D17........ud have to mess with ur fuel system too..........There are stock D16Z6s out there running 225WHP On stock internals, just need to make sure uve got a good tune.

 

Everyone keeps saying fuel manigment. By this I assume, you guys mean. Bigger Injectors, and a fuel pressure regulator. Maybe a higher flow fuel pump as well.

 

exsactly^^^^

 

Is there a lot of tunning required when you upgrade your fuel injectors?

 

Im pretty sure ud have to alter your fuel system from a returnless delivery system to one that will return
