Hello, To everyone at miataturbo

I'v been thinking about getting a turbo kit for my 92 1.6 automatic, however I'm not sure if it would be worth it. I apologize in advanced for the lack of knowledge I have for cars. All my mechanical skills are in motorcycles. So maybe some of you could help me out. First off would it be a waste of money and good turbo if I were to put it on an automatic? How would the car perform would the transmission be able to take the power of the turbo kit? would I have to modify the trany to hold up? For those who have turbo'ed an auto 1.6 what kit would you suggest ? Any help and thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks Andy

 

i think you would be the first...i dont know of anyone...

 

miata.net would be the place to ask. I know at least one person there running a SC on an NB automatic. I think you'd be alright with the modest gain a greddy kit would give you. Not sure if there would be issues with the fit of the DP.

yes. there have been a few.

 

i had 200 going through my stock auto tranny (91 1.6) and couldnt break it, you,,ll be fine

 

I read something on FM about turboing auto's awhile back in the info section. It didn't say much but you might wanna read it for kicks.

 

since you're already AT just do a ls1 swap

 

get a bigger trans cooler ASAP!
