Finally got around to posting this. This is on a '98 A4 with 50k miles. It hit's like a freight train, I don't even take the traction control off. The car has run perfect since the install. Pictures later, car is filthy right now......

 

Looks like good results to me!!

PICS WHEN YOU HAVE TIME MATE. NITRO UK

 

Very nice Bob!

 

Congrats on your newfound power!

That's not even a torque curve, that's flat as a table! I'll call it a torque table! That must be a BLAST to drive! Please Drive Safely!

 

Congrats Bob

 

Well said! Congrats Bob! Keep her shiny side up.

Man, now I *really* want a KB on my truck

 

Congrats on your new found power.

Count down to new tranny.....10...9....8.....7.....6...... .........

 

Thanks guys. Yeah the torque is incredible, no waitin' for power!

DIY - This would be the perfect set up for a truck or SUV.

 

Great numbers and awesome power!

I have heard real good things about the Kenny Bell S/C. I haven't decided if I want to do the heads/cam or just put a S/C on a stock motor.

I do have a newbie question on your chart. Why don't the torque and hp curves cross at 5250 rpm?

 

Tq and hp are on different scales on that chart (look to the left and the right of the chart). If they were on the same scale they would cross at 5250.

 

Blue - I did a ton of homework before deciding to go with the KB and am 120% satisfied with my decision. The low end grunt of the roots style blower is incredible. Not knocking A&A, ECS or other centri set ups because the people who have gone with them have been universally happy as well, and I have never owned one. My car is set up at the rock-bottom, lowest setting, the blower will generate 700 RWHP with a pulley swap. Of course more power means more drive train wear and additional strain on the bottom end (as with any application), I have what I wanted; Low end grunt for line power and reliability. My set-up is more than you can use on the street, you can lay waste to 99.9% of the cars out there without stressing the motor or the drivetrain.

I'd do it all over again for twice the money!!

 

why don't you just send me a cheque and enjoy the thrill once more w/ out the work. I'm just helping out.

 

awesome. i can't get over the tq numbers these thing put out down low.

i can't wait to finish my install. can't get back to it until friday and i'm getting itchy

 

Unfortunately I had to send it to Uncle Sam How the "F" do you pay close to $20k in Federal taxes and still owe $6k??

 

J, Are you installing the KB 2.6L yourself?

 

yep, me and the little lady got the car pretty well ripped apart the other day and i'm going to have a few more over to help out this weekend.

 

Not enough deductions and not enough charitable contributions

If only your speed shop counted as a charitable organization. Any lawyers on the forum want to help Dr Phil (aka Roadrebel) get a tax exempt status. Man...my refund checks would be HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Amen to that.
