I will be VERY surprised if a stock AT transmission (TSX or RSX) can hold in excess of 210-220wtq...

My auto tranny has held up great for 50K+ supercharged miles. (knock on wood) I drive my car hard too. I'm not sure how much torque the stock tranny can hold, but I'd be happy if it could hold 275 whp/200wtq.
If any of you Auto guys are going for a lot of power later, I would highly recommend going to a high performance torque converter. I actually researched one for awhile. I got some info from a guy on club rsx who had one put in his base auto with K-Pro/boost. He had a company called Import Performance Trans make a high stall Torque converter for him. http://www.importperformancetrans.com
For any of the Auto guys going SC, keep in mind you're not going to make tons of torque even with a SC and high boost. If you want torque, go Turbo but keep in mind that on a FWD drive car torque can cause a lot of traction and torque steer problems. You'll get sick power numbers though, so I guess it's kinda a trade off.

godfather: I've been looking at 2 tsx's... tyring to hold off for one with factory nav so i won't have custom fab something later... I am going to drop by a place on tuesday and checkout what they have
ps. it'll def be 04 or 05... why? well because everything will be ported to match anyway 70mm I think

k26 low compression build... ep3 trans, quaife lsd, dss 2.9 axles, full-race gt35 kit, anodized black intercooler... rays wheels, usdm sides and rear, ebay front lip custom shaved down to stealthy look, 3000k hid kit, wilwood 6piston kit wilwood large rotor adapter rear, 35% tint, ebay euro dm replica headlights, and much much more....
lets just say the tsx I found I will pay off in like 6 months, so I will have a hefty bag of change to play
oh almost forgot tanabe dual catback and tein flex...

k26 low compression build would be ideal for a big turbo. why do you plan on going with an ep3 trans? is it any lighter or stronger than the tsx's 6 spd? it's gotta be cheaper, but wouldn't it just be easier to find a 6spd tsx and forgoe the other tranny?

No no usdm ep3 trans with quaife lsd... No specific reason why...
Simply just the complete gearing from 1-4
And no way in hell I am going to trust someone to open up the tsx 6speed and replace gears
Unless you guys have a place in the tristate area which has not only done it before, but competent enough to understand what I want
Ep3 trans is a must have for 400hp+
If I decide to build 500hp on pump gas
I'll def eat up factory tranny's for breakfast

Alot of us would rather just have a kit actually made for a TSX.. all the custom stuff is a bit too much. If someone comes out with a complete kit for the TSX then you see more of us interested. We've read what you stated but why should we need to fab something up to make it work.. it should work without having to do anything. So once the complete kit is available then more of us will be interested.. get it?

Ok so I started the thread by saying, the kit looks like it fit, except for the downpipe
Then I posted pics of an accord (7th gen 4cyl), with everything fitting
Do you guys think that turbos are pull em out the box and bolt em up?
It takes a full day to install. All I keep hearing is fab this fab that, what about drilling a whole in the oil pan, relocating wires, replacing parts for clearance
Those are all things involved in installing a turbo in an rsx/ep3
For christ sakes you guys make it impossible for me, the dude who prides himself with helping stuff to fit
Why can't this side of the forum just believe me.. I aint got no street cred son

well alot of toys dont come with batteries included 
richie v6 has a local tig welder who can get this done for dirt cheap... so I will be pursuing this anyway... once it is done, everyone will be welcomed to stainless steel tig welded parts thru me

stillhere: there is this tire place in college point called genesis tire town or something.
they sell mostly tires, but also have used cars for sale. i've seen a silver 04/05 with fogs for sale in their lot. i'm not sure if it's an AT or MT, but maybe you wanna check it out.

Looks like he's already got a project car...and it's not a TSX:

Also, his new sig verifies his TSX turbo plans are suspended indefinitely.

- JVT K serie top mount cast manifold
- autometer boost gauge and oil pressure gauge
- Hondata dual ECU setup with harness and kpro
- full-race T04E Turbo .50 A/R Compressor, .63A/R Turbine
- 3¨ custom downpipe with v-band made by us...

anyone want pics? ill update them soon
