DIY air to air intercooler on Kenne Bell for 92 LX

just wondering what kind of tires your runnin on the back?, i see tires are spinning on video but just love to see exactly what kinda power car makes with a little more room coming out of that spin and hearing what she got. I am a foxbody lover and love to see any innovation with foxbodys what u have built looks like a engineering masterpiece, just love to see that bitch opened up and screaming like holy hell:shrug:

I like the concept, and its definitly a cool idea, but seems like a whole lot of work for the ammount of power your making.

Still, i bet its a blast on the street. Sounds alot like my lightning did

I was never really going for MAX HP with my car just wanted a fun street car and KB's make street cars fun. The A2A project was an attempt to control the high temps caused by KB's. I must admit that I should be making more power, and think I could be with an other than stock cam. I also didn't have the best situation at the dyno for making power. I think I'll have better numbers next spring.

I hear ya, i liked the build and its actually pretty impressive that its still on the stock cam. I didnt realize that when i made the power comment. The air to air thing is cool, that was some serious fab work done that a ton of people(including KB staff) would have ran from.

People do tend to get stuck on numbers too, i think the car would run pretty good at the track, if you could find a way to transfer all that tq to the ground that would be someting

Not the best tires but they're new Falcon FK-452, 265-40-17 with 3:73 gears and 500ftpt the rubber has no chance. I need to address traction soon, I'm thinking 3:27's and NT555R drag radials 275-40
 
man, this HOLE thread i just finaly read helped me sooooo much, i am going to be doing a NEW build on my 94 gt mustang , the difference.... no air to air, inside BOTH fenders will be air to/water intercoolers in front a cooler from a 2003 to normally keep the fluid cool on the street and a giant 5 gallon ice bucket set up in the trunk for the track. I also plan on using the NEW 3.6 kenne bell as it hits the market

CURRENT NUMBERS and info

94 mustang gt
347 stroker 2.1KB with 15 PSI 2 3/8ths pulley NO SLIP manuel tensioner
car is putting out 500 at the wheels and driven ALOT on the street.

oh and the mickey T drag radials 6-8k miles on street life BARELY chirp 2nd i have videos.... under crappy conditions though

Very nice glad to hear you got some ideas here, I'm allways game to help out if I can. I have not heard of this 3.6 KB, is that for a pushrod motor spounds very interesting though. I would like a link to you video.

Since my manifolds are off I thought I would take some pics of the inside of the inside of intake where the 3" pipe was welded. When I did this project the first time I never got pics of these transitions.

Here is the inside of the discharge side going into the GT-40 lower manifold.

Here is the bypass flange that I cut and rewelded backwards to fit in that very tight spot.

Here is the piece of angle I cut out of the original KB bypass flange.

Inside of the drivers side manifold to pipe transition. After the welding I did alot of blending and grinding to make the transition smooth.

I just want to give and update as my car is up and running for the spring. I'm now seeing 16.5 to 17 psi with my 8 rib pulley setup and smaller 2.5" KB pulley. I'm using one 9gph meth nozzle and hope to get a dyno run with my new setup soon. I just heard from another who saw this thread here and used it to build his own A2A congratulations to jj89fox I hope he will post up pics and results.
