Who has or had a boosted N/A car before?

*edit* changed the title in case it was confusing

Just curious how many people have had previous experience. I'm mainly looking for boosted N/A engines and not factory boosted cars (ie turbo supra, 1.8T...)

What was your set up? mainly interested in the fuel management

99 Si with JRSC @ 6 psi
dsm 390's with SMC+ (JR FMU crapped out on me)
Almost 4 years and still going with 35,000 miles

this is my setup on my 2002 civic LX

Air-air intercooler
Garrett T3 turbo (ar.42 int, ar.48 exh)
Intercooler piping
2 1/2" downpipe
4-1 tubular collector style manifold
Turbo XS BOV
Map sensor isolation valve
oil lines
oil drain fitting
PFM (fuel system)
Hose clamps and couplers

i made upgrade Water/alcohol injection. By injecting a small amount of water into the intake charge, you can run more boost without having to rely on race gas or octane booster. Also by adding alcohol to the water, you can increase the boost level even more.

I was a complete idiot when I had my 1997 EX boosted. I had a JRSC with a 10lbs of boost from the upgraded nose pully. I had:
AEM FPR
Cartech FMU
Stock injectors (bought some 97+prelude injectors from hondaclassifieds that ended up being stock, gotta love that)
Walbro High Flow fuel pump
Non tuned engine
Short Ram intake (was a AEM CAI, but the damn mechanic cut it in half instead of leaving my stock one in, like I asked him to...even left some metal shavings in the tube while he revved it to show me how "powerful it was")
DC Header
Apexi N1 cat-back
Blew the motor to hell
Worse experience, and best learned from my lesson experience I'll ever have for FI.

i know of two other people with turbo'd EPs ... but there isn't too much traffic in the boost forum.

i was so, so close to making fun of you for saying Boosted N/A

good thing you recovered ;)

[BobRoss]

I currently have a non boosted factory car with an aftermarket turbo.... Its not fun really, costs a lot to do it *right*.

Im lookin forward to trying some other things with the EP.

'96 Civic EX Turbo which saw accidentally 17 lbs of boost. Never had a problem with the car. Best time was posted by 10 lbs of boost with a 13.88 @ 102 1/4 mile time. The car ran that time with a cracked intake manifold. Never got the car to the track with drag radials and 14 lbs of boost before I sold it to get the EP.

I also own a Syclone. 4.3L Turbo AWD. My brother has a '87 Buick Grand National and a '87 Conquest TSi. Plan on having the EP supercharged here soon (hurry up JR!) You could say my bro and I are boost-a-holics. :D
