Don't worry about the engine, the transmission can't handle to extra power.

you might be able to get a couple pounds of boost out of it but i would highly advise against it, the automatic transmissions are not geared for performance work, if you did turbo it you would need to do alot of transmission work that to be honest i dont think theres a single company that makes performance automatic transmissions for hondas, on top of the fact you need engine management software, better injectors, modifications to your exhaust, etc
