how much can the AT handle?
im probably gonna go with the T1R turbo kit.. anyone know how much the AT tranny can handle?
i have headers, cat-back, t1r pully.. all adding horsepower..
with the turbo plus the exhaust, will that be too much for the tranny to handle?
lemme know pleaseee
p.s. i wanna be able to dd this setup and weekend lap..

yeah it should. explosivpotatoe has run a boosted fit for +10,000 but he also has a manual. i wouldnt worry about reliability if you keep the boost lower and dont try experimenting with higher boost settings.

turbos connect to the exhaust manifold and run off the exhaust gas which spins the turbine and creates pressure for the intake side. a supercharger runs off a belt that is connected to the crankshaft to create pressure.
here is the break down of all the kits availible
t1r turbo- bigger injectors, cat delete, doesnt pass smog, more tuning, need to wire it.
hks turbo- is carb legal, less tuning, wiring harness is plug in direct with no wiring, but hp numbers are less than the t1r and you need an authorized hks tuner to do any additional tuning.
kraftwerk base kit- keeps cat so it is smog legal but they have not got carb legal yet, hondata reflash for the ecu so no wiring problems. if you are running a full exhaust (header, cat delete, b-pipe, axleback) you will need the injector upgrade package. more power is made by changing the pulley to make more psi and get a new tune.

What do you mean by more tuning / less tuning?

look through the last few pages of the kraftwerks thread and you can find out where to get a tranny cooler.
while the info he gave you was good, it doesnt neccesarily apply.
like /\mentioned, the hks is only for the m/t models.
and the honda ecu upgrade is only available for m/t models for the supercharger. however, kraftwerks is making upgraded injectors for the a/t supercharger, which should bring its power levels close to the t1r.
for all out power, the tr1 kit is the way to go, but its also going to be the most involved as far a installing, tuning etc. and turbos are not as reliable on a/t cars as superchargers are, especially s/c's like the rotrex unit.
if you want more power reliably, the kwsc is the way to go.

you shouldn't even worry about how much hp you are making its all about the torque. See if you can find anything about the torque rating for auto trans in your car and then go about the mods remembering to stay below that level. That or see if level 10 transmission can strengthen the transmission. They seem to be the only place that will even touch import transmissions.
