KB 2.2 for GT

[DJT03GT]

The KB 2.2 is now listed on their website, but no numbers or prices yet. Should be nice!

Your going to need a built motor for it and an aftermarket hood for clearance, $$$ is gonna start adding up quick. While im sure it would be awesome, I would probably just go for hp's turbo kit.

Kenne bells new supercharger

 

[mnrlgray02]

all I still see is the one for 4v??? where did you find it at on the site???

 

[DJT03GT]

Its on there, if you click on superchargers on the left, it will bring them all up, look under ford, then our year. I think I would rather have the KB then the turbo, on this car anyway. I think the KB will have better drivability, hopefully. However, I wouldnt mind a turbo fox body.

the old one was 1.7 liters. the new one is 2.2 liters. would that make this one more efficent at the same boost level or just capable of putting out more boost?

 

[DJT03GT]

I would think more efficient. Less stress and heat on it to make the same 14lbs of boost as the 1.7. But im no expert, just a guess.

 

[mnrlgray02]

yeah I found it stupid me... I would bet it is just like the difference between the 2.2L and the 2.4L for the cobra's. Prolly just capable of more "efficent" boost. If that makes since?? I can't wait to have one

 

[mpcv2000]

I just call them ( KB ) and it will not be available before a couple month and they do not have any price as of yet !

 

[DJT03GT]

Thats ok, probably gonna want to drop in a forged shortblock first anyway.

 

[cobra killer]

We have the first two 2.2's here as a beta for KB.......
Both cars were previous 660 plus rwhp cars both converting to the 2.2..We'll have numbers shortly.Hopefully within the next two weeks on one car........

Btw,one is an auto and one is a 5 speed..

[stallion98gt]

sweet..forged shortblock is mandatory or can u run low boost on stock block for the time ur building the forged setup and the ncrank up the boost ?

 

[cobra killer]

Have to have a built engine..From what I understand there will only be a few shops authorized to sell/install the 2.2....

 

[DJT03GT]

were either of those 660 hp cars your testing now, previously running a KB 1.7? If not what is the most you can get out of the 1.7?

ditto..what the max u can get from a 1.7L on built engine with stage 2 heads/ blower cams? 550+ ?
I'm pretty sure the 2.2L will be a nice chunk of money and most likely it won't have a CARB number either for us on cali...

 

[DJT03GT]

anyone else running a 1.7 putting out over 500 rwhp?

 

[Screwed2V]

550 rwhp would be tough to get with the 1.7 but possible. You'd be spinning the daylights out of that little thing to get it there, though.

I know of a few guys making 500+ rwhp with the 1.7 running 14-15 psi. The problem then becomes heat with that much boost on such a small blower. I know of at least one that has gone to water injection to keep inlet temps in check.

I'll be shocked if the 2.2 is less than $6k.

 

[DJT03GT]

Yea me to, shocked but really happy. I want one, im looking at an SUV for a new daily drive so the mustang can have some down time.

 

[Back2Mustangs]

How much for the 1.7L?

I was looking at the 1.7L earlier today and I didn't see any prices. What does that setup run?
