auto zc?

Well NC Rex is the Tech guru around here but I feel Autos are alot slower then manuals. Honda Autos are for some reason very slow compared to manuals. Weight and the gearing must be the reason for this. Now if 1/4 mile racing isnt what you are looking for then yeah a auto will be fine. Listen to Jon "NC REX" he is pretty good with this kind of stuff.

You all outta stop bustin his balls. The ZC Auto fulls hard as christ in third gear as all D-series auto's on 4G's do. It's just off the line - the auto's seem to not do it nearly quickly enough, they take longer in first, kinda dog. But Second and then Third - the speed and pull get even better.

My thoughts are it's an automatic yes, why would it be faster then a stick, and if he wanted a stick - then he would have said he was converting.

Eric back off the guy.

I was gonna build a DX Auto CRX with ZC for my wife. Some people just like auto's.

Tell you what guys, I think a simple CR-VTEC with an auto B18A 90-91 Tranny and Zdyne chipped ECU (once someone figures out the maps)....you guys would get smoked! Would take B16A 4G's like it was fun. And it would be the perfect engine for an auto...no doubt. I'd do it because you get the power in at 2500 rpm, and there's about 145 ft lbs of torque at it's peak!!! That's impressive. And that's 10:1 compression, nothing to fear from.

I'd like things to be cool on this board so I'm gonna ask for you guys to stop the auto-manual comparision. There isn't one. If you feel he's losing out, I'll let you know he's probably quite happy with the automatic.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks NC Rex for giving me something to look forward to. Everyone that I talk to about this end up trying to get me to go 5 speed, which I wouldn't mind doing if this was just a project car for me or if I had another car and could have this one sitting for a couple weeks with no problem. And as for "bustin' my balls" I don't feel anyone was doing that, they were just voicing their opinion about the auto vs. 5 speed, even though I didnt ask for any opinions. But its ok, as long as my questions get answered. So if I get the setup I want, all I do is install the motor/tranny, modify the harness for mpfi, and plug everything back where it goes and my harness will plug right in the the teg ecu? If thats it, this is gonna be fun. It's gonna be great to drive my car again with 40 more horses under the hood? Oh yeah, any problems with clearing the hood? Will the timing gear cover hit the hood? Would it not be a good idea to just leave it off?
