bought a KB

[o4c0b|2a]

Congrats. The 2.2 definitely wakes the car up

I am thinking of installing my KB, injectors, MAF and BAP myself. I do not have much experience working on engines, but I am a smart guy with a basic understanding of how our engine works. what do you guys think? Also if I do the installation myself will it be safe to drive to a tuner as long as I don't boost?

[wickedsnake03]

the install is fairly simple if you follow the step by step instructions and have all the tolls needed. make sure when you do the boost a pump you do the wire mod. its worth it. I aint so sure if you will be able to drive the car to the tuner for the simple fact you are going to have alot more injector though. might be best to just find a buddy to give you a tow.

Let me know if you need help I can lend a hand. I have not done the swap on my car yet but I plan to , if I go this route, and have done allot of reading on it.

I would not drive the car to the tuner with all the mods done on the factory tune. You are going to foul the plugs in no time with the 60lbs injectors. You should have two options. The tuner may be able to e-mail you a better tune to get you to the shop (staying off the boost) or maybe you could leave the factory injectors and maf installed (staying off the boost) and swap them out at the shop.

Or have it flatbedded out. Heck you can rent a trailor if you have a truck.

Thanks a million for the offer. I just may take you up on that. Where did you get research material on the swap? Just off the net? I have AAA Gold, so i will just have it flatbedded

I found a video of the swap proccess on the net. I will look for it when I get home. It wasnt bad at all. The only warning I read was to heat up the bolts that hold the intercooler to the blower so you dont risk snaping one off.

[wickedsnake03]

If you write kenne bell an email they will send you the instructions to do the swap.

Sweet! thank you so much for the help!

[wickedsnake03]

also forgot to add not sure how much boost you plan on running but i would get a nice set of idlers to eliminate belt slip. i have the ones from lfp and they are really nice. I am also running a reichard racing upper pulley. great piece and never had any belt slip at all running 19#s

[724COBRA]

Apparently it has a 2.8 pulley on it. How much boost will that make with the stock lower? I want to make 17lbs

[wickedsnake03]

3.0 makes 17#s with stalk lower. 2.75 makes 19# with stock lower. so you will be right around where you want to be. make sure you buy an idler set. if not at that kinda boost you will have belt slip. its also going to live on 93 octane for sure and need a really good tune in it

Thanks so much for the offer man! just may take you up on that. I was thinking early Spring, so I have a bit.

[724COBRA]

Who makes KB upper pulleys? Metco says they do not

[wickedsnake03]

I am running a reichard racing upper and love it. great quality piece. I forget who but one of the sponsers on here said they just started selling there stuff. If you wanna make 17#s just get a 3.00 upper and leave the lower alone.
