SF auto turbo to manual
Hey I have an auto 2002 ex, and I wondred: If I got the SF turbo for my auto ex then decided to do amanual swap, is it still gonna work. Or sohuld I just keep my auto. I'mgoing to get the SF first anyways so if it dosen't work with the swap then I guess it's gonna stay auto.
why wouldnt it work? i dont understand that. if your car works , meaning if you do the swap correctly.. and add an aftermarket clutch... how could/would it affect the turbo?
btw... your car will be faster with an AUTO, turbo'd... just to FYI..
if you had 2 .. 2k1's one auto and one 5spd... both boosting at the same psi.. the AUTO would be quicker ... do to less lag and faster shifts.

99% of the time a manual will be faster then an auto...
1. I can guarantee I can shift better then any automatic civic transmission.
2. How about the extra power I am putting out do to less power loss through the tranny?
3. How about the few extra pounds an auto would be compared to a stick?
4. How about my launch where I would completely kill the auto out of the hole?
5. Or how about the fact that my engine will actually redline before it gets into the next gear?
And please explain why there would be less lag on the automatic...thanks!

HAHAHHAHA
Someone hasn't heard of gear ratios.... What you are tlaking about would be true if the auto tranny on the civic was a 5 speed... however, it is only a 4 speed...
this means your gear ratio will not be as good... if you put a good driver in a 5 spd 2k1 civic with stock tranny and a good driver in a auto 2k1 civic with stock tranny, the 5 spd would win... good try though

Rep Power: 397 Hey guys, I'm gonna be stuck with the auto transmission probably so give me a break. I really just wanted to know if I changed to manual if the turbo would still work. I dunno. Plus give some of us with autos a break and dont slam us. I can't help it that I got an auto civic and im not going to get rid of it, so I wish people would help the guys with autos.

Rep Power: 402 even with an auto, if your boosted, i promise you, you will own 75% of the street racers out there (assuming they're not boosted as well). any integra, CRX, rsx, etc... no matter what bolt ons they have. autos are slow but you can make them faster, you can get a torque converter, change shift points and other things. all hope is not lost just cuz you dont drive stick.

Well from a roll the auto would probably win, because of it being able to hold boost between shifts, but from a stand still the manual would probably win, if they didnt botch the launch.
