Considering a supercharger.

burnout5.0 · January 28th, 2009, 10:33 PM

hey guys ive been toying with the idea of a kenne bell 2.1L supercharger on my '95 5.0 and i need to know what additional things i will need to do to car for it to run correctly. i only want to run maybe between 6 and 8 pounds of boost. and will i be risking hurting my basically stock motor with the extra power im going to making or should it be okay?

just make sure you got good ignition and fuel components and you should be cool, not a must but to get the most from it, i'd make sure you've got headers and full exhaust, so the motor can breathe good.

get a s trim

WildWill · January 29th, 2009, 09:14 PM

you probably won't make as much power with 8 lbs out of a kenne bell as you would with 8 lbs on an s-trim, but if you want a KB, don't let anyone talk you out of it! The people at Kenne Bell are great at getting you set up with everything you need when you go to make a purchase from them. As stated, you will need a more effective fuel system... 255lph fuel pump with an in-line as well and 42# injectors is what I suggest. But I would get in contact with Kenne Bell, and they will hook you up.

thanks guys for all the input. still think im gonna go with the kenne bell cause i like the top mount style. if there is anything else i need to know let me know. oh yeah and i have a 70mm TB will that be ok or do i need to get a bigger one?

White Thunder · January 29th, 2009, 10:18 PM

Bigger

burnout5.0 · January 29th, 2009, 10:48 PM

ok so so far i need a 255lph fuel pump, 42 lb injectors, and a TB bigger than 70mm anything else?

Traidmarx · January 29th, 2009, 10:53 PM

like i said make sure you have quality ignition parts...msd ignition and good set of colder plugs and quality wires., last thing you want is the stock ignition to crap out on you while you're under boost or something.

burnout5.0 · January 29th, 2009, 11:13 PM

cool thanks. and what about a mass air flow sensor?

woooooooord

WildWill · February 3rd, 2009, 02:32 PM

NOT msd ignition... stick with replacement factory parts. msd is junk IMO.

yea u will need one to be calibrated for the injectors..make sure u have a CAI to go with the exhaust..if ur letting more air out, u need to let more in

burnout5.0 · February 7th, 2009, 12:35 AM

cool i actually called kenne bell and they told me with 6 to 8lbs of boost that 36lb injectors and 255lph pump should be good and that i can keep the stock MAF as long as i get a tune. i think ill get the MAf anyway. i forgot to ask about the TB. but i already have a 70mm i think that might be ok.

WildWill · February 7th, 2009, 10:01 AM

Yeah since you've already got the 70 mm I woldnt bother to buy another one. The difference in your gains will prob be minimal.

WildWill · February 7th, 2009, 10:04 AM

Yeah since you've already got the 70 mm I wouldn't bother to buy a new one. The difference in your gains will prob be minimal

342pony · February 7th, 2009, 09:58 PM

The s-trim will give you top end power,where as the KB will turn your stang into a torque monster. Can`t go wrong with any of them..

burnout5.0 · February 8th, 2009, 12:22 AM

yeah sounds good looks like i'm gonna start ordering parts this week. what does a tune usually run for what i need?

WildWill · February 8th, 2009, 04:29 PM

you can probably get a mail order tune from Kenne Bell (that's what you're getting right? you doing the install yourself?) to get you by until you get a dyno tune from a good tuner. that can run you any where upwards of $400...

burnout5.0 · February 9th, 2009, 12:02 AM

yeah im going with the kenne bell and i might do the install myself not sure yet. it will save me a hell of alot of money.
