Edelbrock supercharger is out. Need expert thoughts on it.

I think we all assumed on this one. But I too am glad that I have no need of the British smoke.

Well, to be fair, tech docs very rarely identify the physical location of pins on a connector. Usually pin numbers are noted on the connector itself (or at the very least, pin 1 will have a marking).

I see us doing more of this down the road so keep that jar handy.

Honda's Helms doc does, Subaru - haven't found it yet. Doesn't help that the Subaru thing I have only runs on Internet Explorer so I have to boot up my pc to use it.

My turbocharged cars make 800-900whp. That's not exactly your average run of the mill turbo build, lol. My stock motor 450-500whp car never broke, it's on like it's 4th or 5th owner at this point (from the amount of stealerships that have asked me about the car, lol).

I tend to go a bit overboard on my builds -- I don't have normal goals -- my goals are more like "let's see how much power I can make til something on my car breaks, or it scares me too much to drive it, then it's good."


Jay is right, turbo > *.

That said, if you're looking at supercharging, a setup like this is the way to go - out of the box is has charge air cooling. How efficient is it? That'd be nice to see -- a post blower IAT sensor would be nice to have (we can make a simple Honda OBDI sensor work, if those runners on that manifold will accept it). For the guys that are seriously into using this for track events, you need to at least monitor and compensate for any unexpected climb in IAT.

Pro. Should of messaged me, I was slacking all weekend and already have all the R&D on DBW wiring done. I can get an adapter plate CNC'd pretty quick too.

Jonesy and I are looking at where to install an IAT sensor on his. Any recommendations on a brand/type?

In theory, the simple OBDI sensor from any 91-06 junk yard Honda will work (up to 06 due to RSX, they still use a normal IAT). You preferably want the style on the Integra manifold as it's held in by 2 screws.

I'm tempted to pick up this kit and test it on my car (and delaying my turbo kit even more, lol).

Allegedly, the edelbrock is already set up to monitor IATs post blower rather than at the maf...

That's pro, as long as you stay with a setup that sees under 14.5psi. Looks like Bosch has 4 bar TMAP sensors, cost kind of sucks.

They've got a 3 bar for $24 on summit racing
