Kenne Bell on speed density
 

The problem with speed density is that the map sensor cannot see boost. Witth the kenne bell system the map sensor read before the supercharger so it will see vaccum, right??!! Do you guys think it can work? I've send an E-mail to Kenne Bell so i will soon have the answer ( i hope) Thanks

Yes, I know of a guy that was using S/D with a KB blower. In fact, the blower was making more boost than with mass air due to a less restrictive inlet path. I ran a KB blower for almot 80k miles. If you insist on buying one, I'll tell you a few tricks.

How much are the K/B blowers? Ive heard over 3500 bucks.

It depends on the kit. The base 6psi kit is about $1900 if I remember right.

I take it you didn't like the traction problems associated with the Kenne Bell NO SLO PK?

Hey Unit, traction was only one of the problems. Destroying P/S pumps and AC pulleys was another, from too much load on the serpentine belt (I used to carry two spare belts so I could bypass either). Another issue was the blower oil seals starting to fail on an annual basis. Another issue is Jim Bell, co-owner/general manager who can't get along with anyone. Another issue was the little 1.5L blower was tapped out at about 375 hp. Trap speeds were limited to just 114 mph with 12 psi boost.

I think that's enough for now :):D

You paint a pretty ugly picture, but yeah, the 1.5L blower is pretty small. The 2.2L blower is more expensive, but probably better for major modded apps.

Wonder if the Whipplecharger is a better kit?

Do you guys think that it could cause some serious traction problem. This is my daily driver.

Yan: the short answer is most likely yes.

Unit: Does Whipple Industries sell a 5.0 kit in addition to what KB offers? I believe KB has exclusive licensing rights with Whipple to create and sell the 5.0 kit (?)
