Big setup..

[Gotz Cb7]

So, this Summer...I wanna do something semi-big. Still workin' on gettin' my car back to the A6 status. So, I have 2 things I wanna do. Either, Nitrous..or Turbo. Now, with the Turbo's....I know it varies, so I have no questions on that subject. Now, with the Nitrous. I'm lookin' more towards NOS, after readin' up on the differences in Zex, NOS, Venom, etc. So, I'm lookin' towards the 75 wet shot (NOS). Does anyone have an estimate on power I'd gain, with an Automatic F22a6? Cause if it's a little amount, then I'd just dish out the money goin' Turbo. Figured the bottle would be easier to setup. Just, with a Turbo, it's a daily driven car, so I can only run so much boost on it, and it'd be easier to have a bottle, just to have the power when I need it. Very appreciated to anyone that has any ideas.

i believe its better to go turbo a lot more horse power, and you should be getting around 80-100 hp, but which ever way you go it will burn out your tranny alot faster.

[Chan_Man]

Nitrous or "nos" however you want to label it, will only give you the horsepower until it runs out. A turbo will give you unlimited free horsepower forever! Well until you run into mechanical problems and what not. You do the math free hp or pay money everytime your bottle runs out.

I agree! It will burn you transmission up faster you should do an auto to manual swap first than think about adding power to it.

stock honda accord auto trannys suck balls. get a 5spd!

[wvcb7]

just do both gotz and quit crying about it

[Gotz Cb7]

How about I just....get the stuff for it, then I can bring and down and we'll do it. Talked to my friend today, and he said he'd be up for helpin' you with that h swap too.

[RAY GETS]

i think your better off with a h22 chiped and a 5 speed tranny so that when you get the feel of the power your cb gives ya you'll pritty much know you have a beast.

[wvcb7]

nice ima get that h in soon then start the itb'd civic hatch

[winston]

I agree with "RAY GETS". Seem like H swap is the way to go. Wish i could do one but way too many projects going on at the same time. but focus on gettin my cb7 off those jack stands.

Id like to vote NO on this. Auto tranny's are pretty damn good if you ask me, other then the hard shifting. their durable... and they have long ass gears. Ive smoked out a few ccars in my time. One being a 5speed A4 accord. Dont ask me how, im still trying to figure that out myself. But my car is fully maintained, and i have a few little mods. The auto tranny's arent all that bad. When you start to put out some higher numbers, you might want to convert to 5speed and get a stage 2 clutch and a lightweight flywheel to support the turbo. Either way, if your going all out power, a 5speed is better in the long run, but there are people here who have decked out the auto tranny's and seem to be runnin good. GL with your project.

He's actually considering the NOS brand... so please no "whatever you want to call it"... It's actually "NOS". Personally, I prefer ZEX, but in the end, it's all pretty much the same thing.

He's thinking nitrous or turbo, with his automatic. Which means "get a 5 speed H22" is an idiotic suggestion. That isn't what he's asking about. If YOU want a 5 speed H22, go for it. If you can't assist with his questions, go away.





Now, a 75 shot of nitrous will get you roughly... are you ready? ... 75hp. Your stock tranny can handle this, as well as your stock motor. As long as both are in good condition. More than a 75 shot, and you're running a risk. A 50 shot is damn near foolproof.

Honestly, for a 50 or 75 shot, a dry kit is better. Without the heavy fuel added to the mix, you will get a more even distribution of nitrous. With fuel added, a single-nozzle wet system will often cause #1 to run really rich, and #4 to run extremely lean. Obviously, this can cause problems! The stock fuel system (assuming it works correctly) can provide enough fuel for a dry 75 shot.



As for turbo... that can be a headache with automatic. blazen_accord might be able to offer some helpful advice for boosting an auto. Overall, ECU tuning for an auto is a PITA. Additionally, the transmission will definitely wear faster with the extra torque. Now, the auto transmissions are cheap, especially here, since nobody wants them. Still, changing out a blown tranny every so often isn't very fun!

If you want to boost, a 5 speed swap would make things much easier. If you want to stay auto, figure out how you're going to tune it. I would also consider having the transmission built to handle the extra power. Build the trans, boost the engine, build the engine, boost it more.

my vote goes to the nitrous. with your auto, nitrous will be fun

imma have to disagree. majority of honda's auto trannies suck. they tend to crap out. my buddy replaced his auto tranny 5 times in a yr and a half. he sold the car after that. lol

Actually, Honda transmissions ARE made very well. They just don't deal with abuse and neglect very well. I believe owequitit put 200k or so on his with absolutely NO signs of wear... all thanks to regular fluid changes, using Honda fluid. When you don't change the fluid, or use anything other than Honda stuff, they tend to fail. That's due to the owner's poor judgment, not the engineering of the transmission.

However, Honda automatics are not intended to put down a lot of power. Nitrous would be ok for a while, since it's only used occasionally. Turbo is used more frequently, since it's always "on". You'd have to be careful to always drive out of boost if you wanted to keep from putting any more strain on the transmission.
By putting more power than Honda intended through a trasmission, it WILL accelerate the wear, and shorten the lifespan. Still, use proper Honda fluid, and add an auxiliary transmission cooler, and it should last a good while. I don't believe blazen_accord has done anything but that with his, and it's holding up quite well. He's making some pretty impressive numbers as well!
