i need help kenne bell/ mark viii

screwd4vgt · September 30th, 2011, 09:53 PM

hey im a newb to this whole forum thing i never been on one but heres the scoop. i got a 98 mark engine all stockin an 01 gt i want to know how much boost it can handle from a 2.1 kb?...... how much boost should i run
will a kb boost a pump give enough fuel for 60lb injectors and this setup?
any tips or pointers would be apreciated

Tang Stang · October 3rd, 2011, 09:46 AM

I wouldn't recommend more than 8-10 psi with the stock rods/pistons. A 255LPH pump and 42# injectors will be plenty. Methanol injection helps tremendously on this setup, as an intercooled version isn't offered for the "B" heads.

screwd4vgt · October 3rd, 2011, 10:43 PM

thanks man is there a certain style i should get or are they universal?
also anyone know where i can get a 5 inch harmonic balancer cheap kenne bell wants 25o$ for theirs...

Tang Stang · October 4th, 2011, 08:49 AM

Certain style what? The 5" balancer should have come with your kit from KB.

ChrisJ · October 4th, 2011, 12:33 PM

B head correct? Those are the non intercooled KB's...8/10#s tops IMHO

screwd4vgt · October 4th, 2011, 09:26 PM

HFP 255LPH Returnless Fuel Pump Ford Mustang 1998 - 2011 is this a good pump / price?... yea B heads .... and i bought the kb used he was using stock harmonic balancer for more boost.

Tang Stang · October 4th, 2011, 09:56 PM

Are you running a returnless system?

screwd4vgt · October 4th, 2011, 09:59 PM

yes.. is that a good deal and will it put out enough

Tang Stang · October 5th, 2011, 09:05 AM

That price is by no means out of line, and yes, a 255LPH pump will support your setup. I use a 255LPH return-style pump and 42# injectors on the 5.0L DOHC stroker with the "B" heads and KB 2.1L at 10psi in my XR7.

screwd4vgt · October 6th, 2011, 10:24 AM

ok thanks alot man

screwd4vgt · October 6th, 2011, 10:26 AM

if anyone knows of a 5 in harmonic balancer cheap let me know please.

screwd4vgt · October 6th, 2011, 04:47 PM

also 60 # injectors came with the kit. is that too much fuel?
and i had already bought a k.b boost a pump should i use it with that 255 pump or should i just see if i can return it?

Tang Stang · October 6th, 2011, 04:50 PM

60# injectors will be fine. You shouldn't need the BAP, but I'd wait til you've installed the blower and tuned it before selling it.

mustanginky · October 6th, 2011, 10:18 PM

if you posted this before i got tuned, i would have considered asking you a trade for my 42's for the 60's.

this will be a cool car when you're done btw!
