Hiboost Kit
Seriously thinking about buying the Hiboost kit, does anyone have info if the stock tranny (automatic) will handle the xtra 100hp or will I need to upgrade it as well. I want to get an idea of what the total cost is going to be for the Hiboost upgrade (new motor mounts are a given)

im not familiar with "highboost". is it like nitrous? or like an engine mod?
rice banger civics all the time nitrous the hell out of their cars w/out tranny beefing. but those are the people who pay little for help and do it themselfes |
Hiboost is a turbo kit designed for 2002+ (2.0L) proteges.

what year is your car, and what engine do you have? |
I have a MP5, 2002, 2.0L
Had no choice is the transmission decision, car was a hand me down. I just want to safely up the performance. |
I would say that if you really want to go fast you should consider trading the auto in favor of a manual. The performance is so much better with the manual.
|
Oh and back to the Hiboost kit. The Auto wouldn't hold up to that kinda power.

i've done 3 or 4 kits on auto's as long as you don't run more than 6-7psi you should be fine

im also getting msd-4 ignition, lightened fly wheel, and maybe injectors....oh ya and i cant forget the under pulley!!
|
a tranny cooler would be a good idea on a auto as well
