SOHC CVH turbo club members

Those are called centrifugal superchargers. They pretty much work like a turbo except its driven by a belt instead of exhaust gasses. For a daily driver escort with a small turbo you really don't have that much lag.
heres a picture of my setup since i never posted it in here.



Mitsubishi TD05H 14B turbo
Custom manifold and flanges
1st gen DSM BOV venting to atmosphere
28.5" x 7" x 2.5" FMIC
Bosch 42# injectors (green giants)
4.6 Cobra MAF (blow through setup)
3.8 Throttle body
Civic radiator
Custom solid motor mounts
Hallman Pro Rx boost controller
Custom upper alternator bracket
Auto Meter oil pressure & boost pressure gauges
AEM wideband

Right now i daily drive it at 10psi but i turn it up sometimes when i want a little more power, runs 15psi without a problem. It really depends on the skills and tools you have avalible whether or not you would have a successful build. You'll need welding and fabrication done and and the know-how to put everything together and not blow the motor. Proper tuning is also very important and at 15 i assume you probably wouldn't have the knowledge yet to tune the engine. It takes a lot of research and endless reading of the subject to get everything figured out and know what needs to be done. The last thing you want to do is get in over your head and end up getting rid of the car like many other members here seem to have done because they could never finish their turbo project or blew their motor(s) due to poor engine tuning.

I just returned from Lebanon Valley to see what my EXP turbo will run. My best time was 15.4 at 96 mph on street tires (Pepboys Futura 2000 26.4 lbs of air pressure) and factory 2"exhaust without catalytic converter. Second gear wheels kept spinning on me, so on my best pass I didn't launch aggressively in first gear, and I slowly accelerated second gear to 3500 rpms then punched it. 15 psi full throttle all the way till the end of third at around 5700 rpms. I shifted both 1st and 2nd at 6000 RPMS. Track scale weighed my car at 1938 lbs.

60' ------ 2.5 seconds
330' -----6.8 seconds
660' -----10.2 seconds @ 75.6 mph
1000' ----13.1 seconds
1320'-----15.4 seconds @ 96.1 mph

Based on my seeing here, I have a high 14 second car if I get better tires and mid 14s with better exhaust.
