I think meth would be a good idea, you should definitely run it.

I think i broke the 300whp mark, everytime i wot it gets scary, i will retune after i get my zdx throttle body. Engine is fighting to adjust to the boost, i can feel it but i have hondata so its ok, only money and time will tell.
Im thinking about meth injection, i want aem, ne reviews, can it be operated by engine rpms

I'd make what atlas said a priority... I know anytime I hit boost that I wasn't tuned for (before the final tune) my afr gauge would peg lean. Check this soon, its not worth risking the damage.

Ok.. So I sold the Megan catback n now I have the atlp quads. My high boost pulley is here which is a 2.9 inch diameter. I'm going to get a zdx tbwith a taper p2r adapter and then I will retune. This way I will save money. I will run meth after the tune so I have the ability to run it normally if I decide to take off meth. My boost is a lot better since the bypass fix but the added rush got me hungry for more. I switch from royal purple oil to pennzoil to keep things like new instead of using moly based oils on this Japanese' USA engine. No I can't feel a difference but the engine will know work right

I don't have a boost gauge on but I feel it, seem like I'm running 4 psi, my friend ziggyh22 have a supercharged tl and it feel the same. I have 410cc Rdx injectors so a hbp won't scare me off

Let's see... No idea what boost you're running. Not monitoring knock or AFR. Getting ready to install a HBP. No tune. No meth. Crappy Ca gas.
Broken pistons in 5-4-3-2-1...
What is a moly based oil? No such thing just so you know. No engine oil is based off of a solid material lol. No oil will protect this engine from you anyway.

He doesn't. He's a fucking troll. He was one when he first joined the site, and he still is one now. Let us know how the RV6...errr, I mean, ATLP exhaust and meth and high boost pulley and little blue pill work for you.
Cool story bro.

Trust me on this one Anil...this guy just wants to generate a pseudo sense of internet importance. He's condescending and unconvincing...I don't think he even drives a TL, much less a supercharged one. IF he does...congrats to him, but he's still a flaming asshole who I'd rather see never visit this site.

I know what you mean....
he recently sent me a PM asking about the 3.7 manifold and TB...I am honestly hoping he is not a troll and listens to what the members have to say....
our TL's engine though bullet proof are not the best when you boost....I dont see any members who have been happy (long term) going FI....kinda of the reason why I decided against FI....getting a solid tune in, running proper gauges and modding it right is the only way you can be happy long term with this....I dont see Dave doing any of the things...
People have hit 6K wall by switching to RDX injectors and seems like he has been running just fine with the injectors AND SC without a tune....I am right by you when you think something is off and doesnt add up....

I for one are having problems but to say I am unhappy is not true. Breaking stuff is part of the learning process that I totally accepted when I decided to modify my stock ride. Anyone who doesn't assume this when doing serious modifications, FI or not are fools.
The 6K limit is also just a few people. There are many more out there including myself who have been successful using aftermarket and in particular, RDX injectors.

You are making assumptions based on a few people here and there. In the non-Acura world, there are tons of people doing J32 swaps with boost who are totally happy.

Breaking stuff is definitely a part of the journey but seems like it becomes the journey here...off all the peeps here, most of their FI cars spend majority of the time in the garage...with the diet, atleast I didnt sacrifice the reliability....
now please DO NOT ASSUME that I am not appreciative of you guys and the effort...Hats off to you guys, honestly....but if this is your DD, I highly suggest against boosting it, is what I do recommend (I know that ship has sailed for you guys LOL)...I still look forward to your suggestions and you have been very helpful with the ECU as well as helping me decide on multiple other topics...
now if you own a platform (Miata/MX5/S2000/350Z) which is still reliable under boost and have plenty of aftermarket as well as vendor support, by all means, I would be in line for more power....but after seeing the issues most of the peeps have with going FI, I think I am happy with where I stand....
now back to the topic, and even if after all the precautions and tune and stuff you are breaking stuff, I can only imagine what will happen when you are only FEELING 4psi of boost....

But also, true comment about not being a DD. Wouldn't even consider starting this if I had to rely on this car to get to work.
