anyone have any idea what a turboed automatic would run in teh quarter? either with a T3 or a T28, and running 8-9psi.

depending on wheels, tires, weight

but it would be around mid 14's

not really, itll outrun most stock/slightly modded non-performance cars. and hey thats all i really want. im not out to kick a mustang GT's ***, but i wouldnt mind beating on some of the cars that think theyll own a civic.

you cant call a car slow unless you own a car thats faster than it. thats kind of like a rule

i would have to agree with mid 14's tires made the difference for me but if you still just stop on the gas it spins so you have to find a happy median.

suposibly the tranny upgrade and the upgraded TC from level 10 will shave off 1 second at least or so they say.

i dont think the TC does much. its not that big of an upgrade and really i dont think its worth the money. the transmission upgrade i will do so i can run more boost, but i never heard it actually shaves off some time, thats cool though.

15's all day long I say.... I'd be very suprised to see an automatic do 14s.

ricergribbs

iTrader: (3)

im not sure about mid 14s but i know high 14s are doable. gotti raced an rsx-s with an exhaust (prolly intake too) and he beat it by a car. those do mid-high 14's.

yeah i would expect at least mid 14s for a auto turbo at 8 psi wit good tires and some weight off

thiscrackerntam

If some of these turbo 5spds are having a hard enough time hitting mid 14s, how is an automatic going to hit mid 14s easily? The automatic may be able to hit high 14s consistently if everything is working in your favor, but I think the more realistic numbers are gonna be in the low 15s. I could be wrong, but I dont think I am. It would be interesting to see though.

You meant high 14s/low 15s. Stock w/o any weight reduction thats what they hit.

ricergribbs

iTrader: (3)

woops my bad. but doesnt really change much, itd still be like high 14's from the turboed civic.

with all the turbo money you throw down in an auto civic, you can prob get a used car and just strip that down a little and run low 15's all day n/a

deciuss

honestly with a little more work on the auto you can get low 14's high 13's

electronic shift kit
level 10 upgraded tranny (also helps it shift faster)
upgraded TC

upgraded internals to run 12-15 psi all day long

ricergribbs

iTrader: (3)

yes i could d17thgen. and really, if i sell the civic and take the money id pay for the turbo i could have a car running low 12's all day too. but it just wouldnt be practical for me. i like this car, but its no fun to drive, so im gonna make it fun to drive and call it a day. oh and its not gonna cost me anymore to turbo an auto then it costs for other ppl to turbo their manuals. itll cost me an extra $77 for the rebuild kit. and yeah im gonna look into that TC deciuss but thatll be later. im thinking about eventually upgrading the internals but not at the time ill get the turbo.

I agree most boosted 5 speeds are running mid -low 14's
