what whp are you guys seeing? im running the stock boost pulley as of now. but i want to switch it out with my high boost. but before i do that i think i might get the motor rebuilt. i searched old threads but nothing concrete. i figured maybe some of the currents members could help me out.

i remember there's a 6speed veteran here who's running the HBP with emanage and seeing ~320 if i remember correctly. Is it allmotor?

CL-Future

I'm running close to 300whp with the IMRC disconnected and very rich. PSI during WOT is usually 5.5-6psi.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

its probably a little then since im automatic.

are you auto or 6 speed? im assuming your not tuned since your running rich.

CL-Future

Yes 6 speed and no not tuned

AARONSredTYPE-S

im gonna run high boost, but i first need a charger and high boost pulley....lol

im assuming a 6speed with all the regular bolt-ons including headers is around 245-260whp, so with the charger, especially at high boost should def. pull 300-325whp dont ya think? and 270-300 for an autotragic?

I'm in the same boat. My boost gauge light is set at and illuminates at 6psi. It's maybe a little higher, since everytime it comes on I'm in the middle of shifting out of the high range of second and see it out of the corner of my eye, with eyes on the road. I've had the HBP on since day one of my install in Jan. 2005. Best money I've spent. Currently, I will soon have 80K on the S/C'er unit.

The only major problem that I have had, and was the cause of, was when I broke the seal on the input shaft a few years ago.

Also, initially after the install, there was a problem with the S/C'er pulley being misaligned with the altenator pulley; however, once I was able to put eyes on what was going on, the fix was easy.

Other than a few S/C'er belt changes, the money I spent on this upgrade has paid for itself in fun many times. Oh, and down here in this 'humid oven' we call Florida, on a good day I hope to put down close to 300whp.

CL-Future

Ha, yeah that's the trick, getting your hands on a blower. It's tough these days. A 6 speed with regular bolt-ons should get your 280-285whp. Comptech rates the blower as a 50-55whp gain. You should be able to squeeze between 300-320whp out of it if you get tuned and have everything running correctly.

Same here, I have my boost light set at 6psi I believe and it lights up towards redline but since we're not turbo I've learned to just ignore it lol. There is some boost spike but I can usually feel it and then look to the gauge to see where it's at. The most I've spiked was usually 7psi and that's only happened during drastic temperature changes within a short time.

I couldn't agree more though, the blower is fun and the whine is addictive. It's taken all I've had not to dump more money into the car to see where I can max this thing out at. I was lucky enough to find one for cheap and have had some nice runs with cars to date that I know I would've lost to otherwise.

WithoutComp was running a HBP on an auto CLS and put down 299.X. This was with a tune though.

ok thanks.

My setup was turbocharged, running about 6.5psi and made ~420whp

lol....a little off. maybe it was mr.steve or allout?? bah...too lazy to search.

CL-Future last i read you got the max boost pulley. did you ever get it installed if so how much of a gain did you notice from the high to max boost pulley?

i ran my high pulley about a year ago and i can really tell the difference with my stock pulley on now.

CL-Future

I haven't thrown it on yet although I'm itching to see what 9-10psi feels like. I haven't gotten the supporting mods (injectors, tune, water/meth) yet to do so.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i think im going to order the max pulley today. which injectors you plan on running? i forgot about water/meth guess i need to get that too. i think i already got some rdx injectors in storage somewhere i just need to see if i can find them if i still have them.

phee

iTrader: (5)

Do u need an FIC? I got one for sale since I'm getting the J&R ecu

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i got an emanage blue.

CL-Future

Haven't decided on the injectors, maybe RDX's, just not sure about all the modifying and getting the right clips etc. If not those then probably RC's.

Water/meth is probably the easiest to setup but of course you could go intercooler. I just prefer water/meth because it's near instant according to what boost you set it at and you can change the mixture on the fly to achieve a higher octane.
I just started the first steps of clearing out some trunk space. I got a sub mount on the left side to replace the box I had in the middle of the trunk. Now I can mount the water/meth tank on the right side after I do my battery relocation. I didn't want the water/meth tank in the engine compartment or the battery as its congested as is. This is be a cleaner look as well as putting some weight in the rear of the car

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i hate that i would have to relocate stuf to run water/meth. but i guess to run max boost i should.

CL-Future

You dont HAVE to. Just my preference. You can actually get a kit that uses your windshield wiper bottle and pulls your water/meth from that. Or you can get a 1 or 2 gallon bottle that mounts on the firewall in the hood, so it's not mandatory at all that you relocate anything to run it

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

oh ok thanks for clarifying it for me. im interested in seeing what i can put down to the wheels with max boost.

CL-Future

That makes two of us. I'll keep an eye out for your progress and will update my ancient thread with mine once I get started

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

you got yours a while back. im surprised you havent put it on yet.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

which pulley is it 3.3 or 3.5?

CL-Future

3.3" blower shaft pulley. Yeah I've had it for about 1 1/2 years. I would've thrown it on but I really wanted to do everything all at once. That's a lot of hot air to be pushing into the intake so without proper fuel (injectors) or cooling (water/meth), I didn't want to risk anything. Plus I want to upgrade my clutch and get the AEM EMS.

I suppose I can just do the pulley and water/meth for now and do the other stuff later. Would probably be easier on my pocket too

CL-Future

Ahh, I think you just convinced me lol

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

glad i could help.

do you have to do ems or is the emanage good enough?

CL-Future

I think emanage will be good enough. I did hear of some problems running the emanage with larger injectors in the other thread here but that may have just been isolated to him.

I just decided to go with EMS to avoid the stock ecu altogether and because it just allows for more tunability. You lose some of the factory features of the car from what I hear but this wont be my daily for much longer so that wont matter.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i just talked to south florida pulleys. i didnt know it took a month to get the pulley since their made to order. gwhat kind of features do you lose? ill figure out which one ill go with emanage/ems.

CL-Future

Problems during colds starts, speedo/tach gauges not working (although I think there are ways around that now) and then the other factory features that are lost since you're basically replacing the stock ECU. Stuff like steering wheel controls, which I dont use anyway and some other things.
Not sure yet if you lose control of your heating/ac yet.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

lol sounds like i need to stay with the emanage. the cl is still my daily for now.

phee

iTrader: (5)

10psi on the mp62 is WAY out of its efficiency range. youll be blowing air so hot the power gain will be minimal unless youre dumping fuel. i would run a snow meth kit

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

You shouldnt lose HVAC, IIRC its not run through the factory ECU.

CL-Future

Haha. Where'd you get your emanage from if you dont mind me asking? You can't pick them up new nowadays can you?

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

i got mine out of the black market around the time i got my blower.

iTrader: (2)

Still haven't installed the emanage?? I was wondering if you had or not. Let me know how everything goes. I just moved to Texas with my 540i, but am looking forward to shipping the CL here in the coming months to use as my dd. I'm going to look into S/C ing it as well.

Car looks great btw.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

thanks. i took the blower off a few months after i installed it, blew my tranny. after i swapped to the TL tranny i never put the blower back on until a few weeks ago.

I wouldn't use the HBP without EManage (or something like it) installed & tuned properly, otherwise you will probably destroy the motor, especially in cold weather.

Allout is using EManage with the HBP.

Given the economy, for me, it wouldn't make any sense to spend another $1k plus, to only gain another 15 WHP.

very realalistic but then INCLUDES a light weight flywheel though, so a little more then just bolt-ons

Wow, superchargers do little for these cars. High boost nets ya less than 100WHP. Oooof.
