Yeah the motor will take it for who knows how long but that trans is blowing up in 5 seconds lmao. I know cause I have killed 2 trans at 240wheel. Soooo yeah. If you are willing go manual trans or get a manual car first before starting that.

You’ll have absolutely no chance with the auto trans. Do the Z3’s even have the aftermarket internals available to handle that?
Looking into upgraded Helical gears so it could resist the Horsepower just making sure specs are the same on the sizings and sinchronizers as well . After blowing this one going manual.

Nice you had went turbo on the auto ? I'm going to blow this one before going manual still looking into what trans I want .
RSX Or Type R tranny from the new ones or from A2 ..

I read up on the the auto / manual and this 2010 k24z3 has highest compression ratio 11:1 when the later model has 10:5.1 engine compression ratio.

The K24Z3’s in all the TSX’s had the 11:1 comp ratio. The 10.5 was in the accords.

Flamie also has a 1st Gen TSX which has the K24A2. Way better aftermarket than our Z3’s.

Instead of building the auto trans and going manual when it breaks, why not just go manual to begin with?

My car is NA. It's fullbolt on and more. It's about 250ish hp. The stock trans lasted me about 3 years before it finally gave up it's shit. I now have a built level 10 trans and it "so far", fingers crossed, has held the power fine and also made the car considerably faster because of less power loss. Mine is more like a manual. Also yeah I am a first gen 04 TSX. I assume the trans are similar with the different models tho. Maybe the newer one is stronger? I doubt it tho. Just know that unless it's built it probably won't last past 300hp for super long. I wish people made honda autos. Mine is built, but it's not like BUILT. I want a company to make shit for the autos that make it strong. More agressive pumps and just higher pressure. To handle the 300 - 500 hp

I know why they don't cause manual is just way better and people who have only driven manuals hate the auto's. It's just how it goes lol.

I will get a manual and will have to add pedal and master cylinder with slave from a TL or FK8 TRANSMISSION PRICEY still thinking what way to go about it .

Lol sounds like you've done it bud explain ? Super tempting bro ..
Well, I haven't done it on my tsx, but since I do miss my Focus St, I'd like to get back the boost feeling you know~ then I had an r18 civic and I also looked into boosting it. Sad results, piston rings and engine internals aren't made for such pressure. If I'm correct, Ericthecarguy mentioned that k24z3 -200hp- are relatively higher in pressure compared to, let's say, mazda 3 2.5L skyactiv engine -180hp-. I wouldn't recommend boosting it unless you really wanna invest the 4 to 6k^^ rings will be damaged over time if you dont change some internals
