  • Automatic DS3 turbo

    I have a 2013 Citroen ds3 4-speed automatic transmission. I was wondering if I could upgrade it and add any turbo on it. And if I can, what is the kind of the turbo? Thank you

    Any thing is possible and I applaud your desire for more power but some things are just not worth doing. Save the big bucks this would cost and put it towards your next car.

      I also have 2013 4 speed auto but i know for sure that the way the auto box works bolting a turbo on to it would make the box have a heart attack. The only gear in the box thats not assisted by torque converter lock up is 1st gear. 2 3and 4 all have slip in them before the converter kicks in and locks the said gear to the engine.

      About 4 years ago i had a 2.0l renault scenic auto that used basically the same engine to the clio sport. We got hold of a clio sport that had been rolled about 5 times very cheap and went to work. The sport engine went in like a dream only having to change the flywheel and ecu wiring loom etc. the 40 extra bhp sure was fun and transformed the car its just a shame it only lasted a whole 826 mile before the autobox blew up [emoji20]

        Thank you! So does that mean I should change the gearbox to a better one? And that will of course cost me too much.

          Yeah but I really regret not buying the manual turbo one. If I could change my car I would. But I don't think they would accept.

            The gearbox might be ok but then it might not. I would think getting a box made to do the job would cost about the same price as the car. If you stuck driving a automatic like me and want more power then something like a skoda fabia vrs or a vw polo gti can be made with this auto dsg gearbox [emoji106]

                No probs [emoji106] hopefully Citroen will come out with a faster ds3 auto but i think that will just be wishful thinking
