Default Anyone here ever boost a stock CX motor?

I going to get me another totally stock 94 CX hatch on Monday and I thought I would play around with it a little before I just the throw the crap motor away and go to a Y8 or a B16...Anyone ever play with one of these 60 Hp beasts and boost? What kind of results did you get?

Buy my T25 im, jk. A friend of mine boosted his 97 DX hatch and he could barely keep up with my friends GSR.

Damn...if that was a DX, then this CX would be totally pointless...oh well, I really trying to decide if I want to go B or D with this car...Should I put up a poll?

I had a stock cx engine and put on a z6 top end, then boosted it. It was great.
When I sold the car, I put back the cx top end.

Any times? Do you ever find out how much power you were making? I'm very used to my B-series and I don't want to be let down after doing a bunch of work...BTW, does anybody know what the compression would be with the CX bottom end and a Z6 or Y8 head?

I ran a 15.6 with the mini-me N/A and 14.0 boosted. This was in a 95 coupe.

a friend of mine did it, as a joke while tryin to bl0w the motor he didnt use fuel managment, it lasted awhile. longer than it should have. i dont recommend it. but throw some s0rt of 16valve head on it and it wil be fine boosted.

^^^^ dont look at the poor results of one turbo setup to compare to most. That is a d16y7 in the 97 dx, and people get good results out of those. (check out turbod16.com if you dont believe that) Although there is a good difference between those two motors. why the hell not, boost the little biotch
