I'm looking to boost my accord, I've only done work to my old si, that was a stick...my accord is auto (due to medical reasons) looking for advice on how to go it without overloading my tranny....

Honestly i think you'd have a lot of issue with boosting your auto, but who am I to say anything about having issues. I'm a pro there. Lol.

I say go for a low whp goal of maybe 300-330whp and you'd be able to ride around like that for some time.

Hey, you made it! As of what I've seen for auto civics in the past, nothing more than 5-6psi. It would be cheaper than most of our kits, as you would have a smaller (I always suggest ball-bearing) turbo and a log manifold. The rest is just a downpipe/exhaust, injectors, tuning software (I believe they make Flashpro for accords), walbro 255lph fuel pump (swaps out with oem one), intercooler and piping, blow off valve, and a few misc things. You'll love it

I am giving her a hard time. She should be buying coilovers from me in spring I think....I love my interior! I wanna get Bride seats but no one has found a way to keep it so I can keep my air bag sensors in the seats.

Why would you want airbags in the seats still?

Safety, and probably so there's no srs/airbag light on the dash. Just because you live on the edge doesn't mean us bionic people should too ;)

Lol "bionic ppl". Haha

I wouldn't do that. I'd just keep what airbags are in the pillars and wheel and use harnesses with the seats.

As for the light on the dash you can just pull the bulb out or install a resistor to take the light out.

It's what we are! :yay:

We're so :offtopic: lmao we do this in every thread :rotfl:

As for the light, yea I figured a resistor could be used. I wouldn't pull the bulb out though, just sounds like so much work lol

I need airbags for my kiddos.

I need airbags for my kiddos.

In the back seats? Or they are big enough for the front?

And honestly my niece just got in a car accident with my sister in the fall and the airbag really messed her face up. I'd rather strap my niece in a 5 point harness then an airbag. But safety is definitely priority 1.

Back seat for my lil man but I like the sensor in front that if they are not big enought it cuts it off but for the older people who ride it will cut on.

Then I'd rather only have them in my Daily Driving CR-V verse driving them in my ricecar and attempting to kill them by driving spiritedly like I do :)





But back to subject at hand. I Turbo charged an old auto accord back in the day. But computers where simple. We literally tuned it with a stand alone VAFC tuner lol
