However you will have to spend some money to beef up the tranny in order to do it if you plan on running any significant amount of boost, converting auto to stick in an '07 Civic isn't an easy task, my advice would be to just keep it stock until you can find a better car to toy with, especially if that civic is still under warranty, you can kiss that goodbye with a turbo.

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:46:32 +0000 http://vitarapistons.com/is-it-safe-to-have-turbo-on-an-automatic/#comment-1809 do me a favor. throw your friend of the cliff. yes you can turbo an automatic. since your car has a r18 engine, finding a turbo right now will be difficult. And with a racing ecu, you will be fine, but just make sure, your turbo kit comes with an intercooler so you don't blow up the engine (if thats what he was implying to) btw your car is in warranty most likely now. don't do anything to yet. warranty is very important do me a favor. throw your friend of the cliff.

Civic....no worries. Any power increase shortens the life of your engine/trans. On any car.....more power=shorter life. Many boosted Civics last quite a while. The big killer is pre-detonation caused by more boost than the fuel spray allowes. Plenty of fuel spray+moderate boost=no worries. Simple.
