Rawr.
I only questioned how many lbs since he mentioned he was running the hbp and the numbers were that low... I guess the slight displacement increase does make that much of a difference.... that's nuts!

The hbp created more boost faster. So it was going into full boost at a lower rpm which made a difference in usable power. The power is great, I got a steady 145 degree intake temp after 20 pulls and power numbers were always consistent. Now with some new parts on from atlp I have even bigger numbers

Monitoring knock?

It's ok Im at 310+hp now and no knock after 20 dyno pulls. The intake temps were the same and never end knocked. These two things were being watch closely for consistency for the jpipe shoot out.

FYI I've been driving with the hbp for a month and never had a problem. Finally tuned it and scored some big numbers and with people saying intake temps reach 200 degree is full of shit. I tried it, it is safe and fun.

I'm running 3.5 lbs of boost.
With the high boost pulley I made an extra 25 hp and with the tune it added another 13 hp. My car still had the stock jpipe and third cat on. Another 20+hp could be seen with a atlp part like the 3inch v2r
List of mods
3.5 type. S engine
Atlp quad catback exhaust
Ct engineering supercharger w 2.95 hbp
Rdx injectors
Rv6 pcd
Hondata flash pro w/ tune
Cold air intake
The power is fucking good. It's soo fast

this still your full parts list plus the jpipe?
I live in CA as well, is it fully CARB compliant without 'knowing a guy'?

Are you actually monitoring knock or using your ears? Getting the car tuned is 1000% better than the cave man style tune the blower kit came with so it might last. Still though, it's too soon to call it good and safe, a month is not long enough. Look at how many times I've told people they were going to end up with a blown engine, they said I was full of it because it survived a few short dyno runs and passes on the street only to be rebuilding it 6 months later.
There are two problems. Knock and high charge temps are one large problem. If you're watching knock and it has none you should be good there. The second one and the one you can't get away from is the stock ring gap being too tight for extended periods under boost.
So basically watch the knock and use boost for quick point and shoot short duration runs with cool off time in between and it might last. Do a bunch of top end runs, even with no knock you will end up with a broken ring land.
Also, knowing the stock gap is a problem, my old recommendation of 100% meth is probably not the best for a stock engine. A mix will cool combustion temps better with the downside being hotter charge air temps and less power.
So is the air temp sensor on the intake manifold, throttle body, or somewhere else?

hmmm any thoughts on light weight rotors blades for the m62?
http://stiegemeier.com/services/lightweight-rotors/
maybe some PnP?

and have a CARB sticker on your intake, they almost never look it up and see that's it's for an accord.

That has got to be one of the biggest wastes of money I've seen. The supercharger temperature itself is a very small percentage of the total heat that is transferred into the charge air. Keeping the front gear/bearing section cool might have some benefit for the longevity of the blower itself but that's it. You're cooling something with extremely low internal surface area that even if you chilled it below freezing probably wouldn't show a measurable hp gain.
The point is to cool the air after compression. It's the compression of the air and the root's incredibly inefficient way of doing so that heats the air, not the temp of the blower itself. This is why an intercooler or meth is the only way to do it right. This is why a turbo delivers a cooler charge for a given psi even though the other the turbine is powered by exhuast and can be seen glowing red hot even after an easy run.
I might do this "mod" after I've exhausted every other means of cooling the air. Maybe the car runs 13.00000 on every run and I want to hit that 12.9999999 and there's nothing left to do, this mod might be worth it. On the other hand, if I were getting into boost a lot and driving the car hard such as in road racing and I wanted to get maximum life out of the blower, this makes more sense.

I had to get mine made... check out S. FL Pulley; takes 3 to 4 weeks.

Rawr.
I went with the 3.2" pulley because I figured I was going to lose +/- 2psi due to the FMIC w/ piping... The meth kit is a major plus too (thanks Bruce & Liebert); initial spray at 4psi; full spray 8psi.
Been boosting for 2 years now... no issues.
Some may say the setup is somewhat overkill, but better safe than sorry.
