2.1 kenne bell on a 96 cobra??

Petty886596 · February 25th, 2011, 03:35 AM

So a guy at a dyno shop has a kenne bell setup for my car for sale it comes with everything injectors fuel pump ect. He wants 2grand for everything I would need to run it on my car.That just seems awfully cheap to me Im kind of leary about it but, really reaallllly want it at the same time what do you guys think? oh and I have funds to buy it.

Tang Stang · February 25th, 2011, 09:02 AM

New or used? That does seem like a deal, but if it is used, I'd look it all over thoroughly.

Petty886596 · February 25th, 2011, 11:02 AM

its used

Tang Stang · February 25th, 2011, 11:18 AM

That's still a very good price. As long as it's all in good working order, you're getting a deal.

na svt · February 25th, 2011, 11:41 AM

you would need to swap out your heads for 99 and up heads and possibly the front cover also.

Not if it's the 96-98 Cobra kit.

I forgot they're now making the 2.1 kits for B heads.

Yep, they've made them for four plus years now (bought mine in late '06).

Keasbey · February 25th, 2011, 02:49 PM

those dont have an intercooler on them, dont you need to run octane boost all of the time?

ChrisJ · February 25th, 2011, 02:52 PM

KB's on the B headed cars suck IMHO...

Go with a centri or a turbo...

Petty886596 · February 26th, 2011, 01:37 AM

I was thinking water methanol kit would work out good for this kit or is there any way to run a front mount im kinda new to this type of stuff? still not sold on it just yet I may throw the 2 grand at my car loan havent yet decided.... actually thinking about maybe going with a nitrous system....ohhhh its driving me crazy what to do what to do??

1badcob · February 26th, 2011, 06:39 PM

Dude I have the same one on my 98. Does he have the lower intake with it? I run 7lbs on 91 octane. It dyno'd at 365 to the wheels. I also have a 9 lb pulley which u have to run octane boost. It dyno'd at 405 to the wheels. Bro I love this setup! If it's in good shape that's a good buy. Or pay 3800 for a new one. That's up to you

Petty886596 · February 27th, 2011, 02:39 AM

damn they are only $3800 new? I figured that it was alot more than that but yes, it's complete intake and all it comes with everything, 2.1kb,intake,maf sensor,fuel pump,injectors, etc its everything to bolt it on tune and go. I'm kinda wondering if I would end up with power over what the stock bottom end can handle Im pushing 315 at the wheels right now with my car being cammed full exhaust(cat-less), underdrive pulleys, and throttle body because ive always heard that these engines are good up to 420-450 or so but anything over that is pushing it and i really would not want my car hitting over 415 at the wheels untill I can build a bottom end or buy a shortblock.

1badcob · February 27th, 2011, 09:34 AM

Exactly! Your absolutely right bro. I have all those bolt on's now too but I don't care to have it re dyno'd. I had an off road h and simple k&n tho. That's a good price bro but we all know used can be a gamble. I'd have him sign a guarantee or your money back tho. I forget what kenne bell's warranty is, I'd have to look. The extra money for a new one is up to you. If you get it let me know what it dyno'd. I'm curious. Ttyl

dudelinger · February 28th, 2011, 12:48 AM

That does sound like a "too good to be true" deal, but so was my 97 procharged cobra with 625rwhp for 8gs!....sometimes you luck out!.... Id check it over for play/leaks/smoothness and bring him 1800 cash in hand

'97'Cobra · February 28th, 2011, 01:42 AM

i would jump on that deal. I have debated on buying the KB or getting a centr. Can you port those 2.1's because im going to want alot more power down the road which is why i think ill got vortech

dudelinger · February 28th, 2011, 02:00 AM

Well if u dont get either and if your interested in a procharger, let me know

No.

Water/methanol injection really helps out. I was able to pick up a fair amount of power after installing a Snow Performance Stage 2 MAF-based system on my XR7 (with the 2.1L KB).

Keep in mind, you don't get a MAF, fuel pump, injectors, etc., for that $3800 price tag. The full setup that you're describing would be in the $4200-$4500 range.

dudelinger · March 1st, 2011, 04:55 PM

Yeah ^^^^^hes right, those nickels and dimes add up!....full setup is a good price, easier for install too

Petty886596 · March 2nd, 2011, 04:40 AM

how much for the procharger?
