Do any of you guys know what the hp rating is for the kb 1.7?

wishIhada5.0 · June 3rd, 2009, 10:47 PM

as far as I know its the exact same as the 2.1.....either way crackin 400 with one shouldnt be an issue

mystang0673 · June 3rd, 2009, 10:50 PM

My goal isn't to crack 400 though lol. My goal is to not have to upgrade. If I can make 800 with a 1.7 and less than a 175 shot I might get one. If not then I'm not gonna waste my time

Shitty.

IMO...KB shouldn't offer that kit. It's too expensive for the little HP you get.

Lefty · June 3rd, 2009, 10:53 PM

You won't be hitting 800hp w/ the 1.7. That's why I was sayin' they shouldn't even offer a kit that isn't upgradeable. There's a debate goin' on w/ this over on SVTP. It's cheaper for me to do an Eaton swap on my 01, but a new 2.8KB head unit rather than buying the 1.7L kit from KB and I'll only be making around 460 @ 9psi on it and it's about maxed.

+1...if your lookin to make 800 run far far away from a 1.7...its jus flat out not big enough for your needs. I plan to ramp mine up to 14 psi someday when I get a built bottom end and I cant afford to upgrade it lol when I get the cash it'l get a 2.6

lol

Shitty for the price. For my Cobra I think they said something around 460rwhp @ 9psi Intercooled.

I'd say the max hp for the 1.7 would be around 450-470 on a GT. They get freaking hot when you turn up the boost. I'd figure about 12 psi max. over than and the iats shoot up to 160+ so the timing pull needed will basically end up making similar power to 12psi. If you are looking for 800 you will need the 2.6-2.8h.
