oh yeah i dont think for a daily driver that wants to maintaine realiability and races weekend to go above 7 psi or about 250-260 hp ones you get to 300 or above 8 psi you gota start investing into forged internals.

new zpi pulley
Yesterday I headed up to Louisville to hang out up at ZPI w/ Kenny. Man they know their stuff up their and they have a real nice garage and cars in it. Id'e say total they had 6 tc's up there. Anywase I decided to add the zpi supercharger pulley and I go in for my dyno Tuesday. Pretty much I've done everything to the supercharger set up other than an e-manage. I am excited to fin out what kind of numbers it is showing. The whole staff up at ZPI is great I highly recomend. Any garage that let's there customers sit in there with them and watch the mechanics do everything is a reputible company that has nothing to hide.

Hey cant wait for you to post up the dyno wondering how mkuch power you are running anything above 230 whp will arleady be good in my book. Btw def agree with them letting you watch what they are doing. Other places always give me crap saying how insureance and so on and you cant even watch from the outside which i think is rediculois. Needless to say I stay away from places that have a problem letting you watch from the outside, and try to do as much work myself.
yup - post up the results when you get them. ZPI seems to be a quality company as they interact w/ the public. Other places need to take notes on this. I know i asked this last week and got a reply but any new news about the supercharger intake ....lemmie know. Im checking back daily because im interested in knowing how the intake is performing w/ the supercharger. I wish zpi was close to where im at cause i would take the trip and pick some of their minds.

SALLAD should have a dyno next week. I think we are going to try for wed or thurs. He has been waiting for me to set it up with our dyno guy and I've been waiting for my dyno guy to get back in town. He is due back in monday so hopfully we will get it worked in next week.
I planning on taking one of our 5 speed tCs and use it for a base line hp and tq #'s.
I promise SALLAD or I will keep you up to date.

I'm looking foward to seeing the #'s myself.
His car is strong. He has been nice enought to let me drive it a few times, I can safely say it noticably quicker than a stock s/c tC.
His real problem now is traction, but he is working on that also.

Re: My Tc's power S/c'd
7.3 stock? thats terrible. My tiburon cost me 16,800 OTD and ran 15.2's with a 150$ intake (automatic!, 7.2 0-60 iirc) >_>

I went with the Megan racing headers with the 2.5 inch t-304 magna flow exhaust... little to no rasp. I the added the 2.5 inch custom compacts s-pipe, I upgraded the Bosch BPV to the 110 sport and then built a custom cold air box. I will be going for the dyno in about two weeks but I'de bet atleast 230-240 whp. It hits hard even at 2,900 rpm's now. I love the feel and the only thing I have left to add is a FMIC. On 7psi, my car will keep it's warrenty and be around 280-290 to the crank. Oh yeah some nice 225/45 Bridgestone Re-750's for traction in the summer, and a limited slip.
To put it simple just like everything else the S/C is just a large peice of the puzzle. But if you can put the rest of it together correctly and be happy pushing 240-250 whp then you can do it under warrenty. I have had a few races with my car like this and I beat an RSX-S, S/C'D Tc and I decently modified spec V, all by atleast a car length or more from light to light. Not bragging simply saying that the S/C T/c if you free up the horses trapped in there can push some numbers. Also I found a great deal on my Magna flow exhaust pm me for questions if you are interested.
Oh for anyone screaming about the SI's they run 7.3 0-60 stock and out the door pricing starts around $21,000. Thats a supercharged or turbocharged Tc. Doesn't add up, but some are Honda loyal.

ok we did it
Ok we dyno'd my car today. We took a stock Tc up there at the same time. We are going to allow ZPI to host everything so It should be up soon. Thanks for the patience guys. The dyno was done on a Dynamics Dynamometer.

Oh yeah we also did all the air fuel numbers for everyone to show the numbers and what the ECU reflash does. Also what the ZPI pulley does and whetehr or not it could cause any damage to the supercharger or engine.... oooo the suspense
