ehhh, you can turbo an auto, but you will most likely burn up your tranny unless you invest in a tranny cooler. manuals are more fun anyways

I turboed a auto zc powered crx.Investing in a trannycooler+synthetic fluid will hopefully save your tranny.

If you're serious, more than synthetic fluid and a cooler may be necessary. new clutches and steels, new piston seals, and a couple of sockets in your accumulators (for a harder shift) would help a lot. Most auto tranny's are made to handle about twice the torqueload of the engine they're designed to run with, but what do you think a torque converter does? any more torque and you'll be overhauling it twice a week.

honda auto tranny's suck big balls, thats why no one uses them, they cant handle power for shit, they cant even handle stock power.
