i have a 2003 civic coupe hx CVT auto tranny. Was wondering how that will put up with a turbo. This is a weird automatic tranny, it does not shift and is basically like driving on one gear. Once I hit red line, i stay at red line. I have ran 4 bottles of nitrous through the tranny, it still in like brand new.

Rep Power: 0 Okay for yall who dont know, I recently had my tranny replaced by honda under the warranty. So now I motor along fine. Now I have a little problem, i want a FS turbo, However every time i shift my car into gear, its like it doesnt go all the way into gear sometimes and the indicators on the dash blink a little then turn off, after i wiggle the gear shift around a little bit it goes and stays into gear and i have no problem.
The question is if i turbo it, would anyone forsee any problems, so long as i get all the coolers and what-not
P.S.
( Now i was going to trade in for a Lan Evo, but the car is going to be paid off end of next year when i graduate so i figure a turbo'd 7thgen with a Lan Evo for the weekends would be nice)

Turboing an auto is no biggie.......you just need to do the obvious. Tranny Cooler and Oil Cooler. You CAN do a torque converter or have the Tranny built but its not that necessary unless you are planning on running HIGH boost. In some cases autos are better for turbo. My buddy's 94 civic ex auto with stock internals runs a consistant 14.2's. You just need to plan everything out and dont get stupid with the boost and you'll be fine.

Rep Power: 396 So, what if I decide later (When I have more money, and the turbo) to rebuild the transmission. How much would this run me, and what the heck exactly would it do? Same for the TC.
Basically......you would most likely do a torque converter and get stronger gears and whatnot inside the auto tranny. Its the same thing as getting custom pistons or rods, when you send your tranny to whatever company you are having build it, you tell them the specs that want such as shifting points....I'm not an expert on the subject but you can search online and find out exactly what is done in a rebuild.

read what it says, HONDA DEALER, nothing from honda would be cheap, i mean they would more than likely drag the labor out just bc and get somewhere between 8-10 hrs labor, and at like 65-70/hr, ur loookin at like 550-700, plus whatever else they try to rape u with
