1G AWD Auto questions

[krustindumm]

My little brother might get one, he would rather have a manual, but this one is in perfect condition. I think it is a turbo.

How durable are the autos?

How easy is a manual trans swap?

Thanks.

if its awd then it's turbo

very reliable. I had one for years before my buddy wrecked it. It is not a fun swap. If he wants a manual tell him to get one!
manuals also have bigger turbos, bigger injectors etc.. I love my auto though. Especially when i am stuck in traffic

you can swap all the MT stuff into an AT car. You just need fuel management or a MT ECU. I have an auto and its great because the turbo continuously spools through the shifting and im too damn lazy to shift!

How well do they hold up when you modify the engine?

Honda autos really don't like it (my friends base model RSX tranny lasted 1.5 - 2 days on 11psi).

No tech in the hangout, please.

I would really like to know how they handle mild upgrades, like about 300whp, how would the auto last?
