k/b install

hellbred07 · October 7th, 2007, 08:02 AM

Hey everyone some what new to the site i have a question regarding my newly self installed blower from k/b.Car started right up sounded different while i am for her to warm up i noticed my fan jumped on car wasn't even all the way warmed up.Took it for a drive it seemed to stop momentarily,only to come back on again.No CEL LIGHT gauge seems to hold its position,is the fan thing normal?

was the AC on, it usually stays on when the AC is on, i never had a problem with the temperature, did you install the 160 degree thermostat

Yes i am not saying that it is overheating,i drove home about 25 minutes away and the temprature gauge remained in the same place.The fan just runs,i have the non ic kit i don't know if thats why.

My fan runs pretty much all the time now since i put the blower on...it's part of the tune, i'm sure...

I would get an I/C kit if I were you, blowers produce alot of heat!

Mine's intercooled, doesn't matter...everything produces heat...these "cold air" intakes everyone swears by suck 200+ degree air into your motor...it only takes 2 seconds for the engine to empty the underhood of all the hot air coming up over the manifolds, etc...it's tuned to run without an intercooler, so it's fine...doesn't hurt anything if he doesn't plan on running bigger boost.

Thanks guys didn't want to push too much just yet,thats why i didn't purchase an intercooler.Might sound kind of weird, but the car is enjoyable as is,just needed a little more for some of those box turbos running on the street.Besides did the install myself so if i upgraded later would cost me nothing but time.
