not sure where you could go, but be advised that the car will be slower, and cost more money, as well as most likely be less reliable.

just my $.02

Rebuilding a auto trans will prob cost u about 2-3 times more than a standard. u could go to aamco, or any other trans shop that would be ur best bet.. How many miles are on the trans? Is it slipping or anything? and some fore warning, honda auto trans are not the best, u might want to try and find a hi pro kit for the trans if they make them. HIH

IMO there is nothing original about turbo charging an automatic. There are plenty of turbo charged automatics on the road and most of them stink when compared to turbo charged manuals.

Good luck on being original, just like everyone else.

Just doing an auto + turbo because it's "original" is a very bad idea. Do it for a real reason, not because you think it's original, cause it's not.

If you suck at manual or are too scared to learn, ok. But don't say you want to do it because it's original.

autos are good choices for high horsepower setups, the torque converter has many added bonusses that aid in traction as well as power delivery.

the main downside is that b-series automatics suck.

You must drive an automatic.

no, but it's true a torque converter lets an engine spin up without having to spin up the wheels, it can reach maximum torque with minimal spinning.

not to mention autos shift faster.

Your speaking in regards to "specific" automatics right? Not an automatis ls versus a manual ls? per say...
