I've never heard that it did, wondering if it does though or if you have to get a custom one made.

You would have to get the higher boost pulley to offset the pressure losses that are inherant in using an intercooler/aftercooler. I heard some of the SC users are experiencing intermittant ping issues hopefully this will solve it.

running an aquamist injection system would be a good idea for supercharger owners...just $200 or so....a simple and elegant systems that helps lower IATs.

I have extensive experience with the ERL Aquamist system. I had one of the first ones on a passenger vehicle in the states back over five year ago (on my GTP).

I know the benefits of such a system but they are not entirely applicable here. You must first understand the issue before trying to solve it and this is not a simple knock issue.

Additionally, where are the ERL systems being sold for $200; mine cost over $600...

Where did you hear this?? As far as I know I am the only one to announce about running the higher boost pulley let alone state there are pinging issues.

No pinging for me. As a matter of fact, i sometimes forget i have the SC it's so linear, until i floor it that is

Ah, but try about 50% more boost and things might change a bit.

Actually I am curious how the automatic would respond to running the upgraded pulley. Mine seems to be doing well now that I have installed a couple of tricks to take care the fuel and iginition when the VTEC solenoid opens. But since the auto would load the engine differently I wonder if the knock issue I experienced with more boost would onset sooner in the auto; maybe in 1st gear even.

In the end I think I might just slap back on the standard pulley to be safe for the long run.

Scalbert, something tells me i should be happy with the boost as is I will take the piggyback ECU when it's available though.
