[Ear Rak]

I'm thinkin about buy the kenne bell 9psi intercooled kit after i save up over the summer, since i be getting a good job hopefully.

question is, how high of psi can i go until i need forged internals? this would be with a good tune aswell. i just wanna make sure the 9psi wont make my motor go pop

Worth a try! 9lbs should be ok. Why not just do a spray? you could rebuild almost for the price of a kenne bell.

+1 for the spray. if something goes wrong with a blower, i.e. a vaccume leak, oil leak, belt break, etc.... could make you'r pistons meet the oil pan. I'd play it safe and buy the bullet manifold and spray it. Don't use the plastic manifold, i saw one in person shoot into the hood ( on a centrficul blown car).

we just put a Nitrous kit on my buddys 2003 GT and he does well,
plus it is a hell of alot less $ :biggthump

+ no tune needed etc. etc. etc.

 

[Ear Rak]

yea but i want to have all 400hp any time i want, with having to push a button. also, the 35 dollar refil fee doesnt look to convincing, and the way i drive, i'd go through 2 bottles a day

You may change your mind in a couple of years & more pay,
and end up wanting to buy a Cobra too, then you don't have all this money dropped into your trade

and you can take the nitrous off and put it on the next car...or sell it :biggthump

the plan is to keep this car as long as possible. i also plan to beat on a few stock cobras, maybe some not stock ones

 

[Bigturbonotch]

spray it, dont even mess around with that little kenne bell 1.7

 

[Ear Rak]

i dont like spray. just dont like the fact that i have an explosive bottle in my trunk that doesnt go out till its all burned up

 

[Bigturbonotch]

the nitrous is non flamable unless you mix it with gas. close the valve on the bottle and you will be fine.

spray, wet shot :headbang:

nos is like a hot ass chick with aids, you wanna hit it, but afraid of the consequences.

 

[Ear Rak]

ok, let me re-direct this thread...


no spray, i want to go blower, thats final

so back to the question, how much psi can the stock gt's take till its ready to blow?

 

[Dewalt03cobra]

Everything I've always read recomended no more then 6psi on a stock motor, and If your anything like me you'll be tapping that 6psi every chance you can. Push the motor too hard (9 psi) too often and you'll be rebuilding it very soon after you install the blower.

try this...

Instead of Kenne Bell (poor customer service and all) try modularpowerhouse.com for the mongoose kit...mongoose supercharger kit

People have been having great success with this kit (great tune). :biggthump

On a stock gt block you wouldn't want to run more than 9psi...8psi is "safe" and will net you ~360hp. You do not want to push a stock block past 400hp, and with hypereutic pistons "safe" is a relative term. Some guys that have ran the kit have been using it for 2+yrs, while others have not been so lucky.
