So I got a new KB 3.2L blower for my car

[lskiller]

The kit is very complete, too. Will be 4 weeks or so before it's running. I'll post up numbers when I get 'em. I am upgrading from the Whipple 2.3L that was on my car.

Post up your IAT's too.

 

[lskiller]

lol, ok. Not surprised to see you post!

Low IATs are great but my stock F150 has basically ambient IAT's and runs like a 16 second 1/4 mile. ... big whoop.

Don't tell me it'll pull timing - I tune it myself and race on E85. I know what it'll do and when it'll do it

Science^^^^^

Depends on where you set all of your timing thresholds. If you raise them up and lean on the e85 cushion it will certainly pull less timimg less often. But at 20+psi don't be surprised if the IAT's get higher than you can account for with e85.

That said, cooler air is cooler air. Lower IAT's wil make more power even when timing isn't being pulled.

I'm curious to see you run logs.

sub'd! Looking forward to see the results of this upgrade!

What are your HP goals with this blower? A 2.8 will get to 800rwhp+. I'm curious how the 3.2 compares.

I *think* the 3.2 is just a bored out version of the 2.8??? Not sure but think so.

My main goal is consistent 9.7-9/8's in the 1/4. I was at 700/665 whp/tq with the Whipple 2.3L on E85 and spinning it at 17400rpm (~15psi) and that got me into the 10.1x's@136+. I could have pushed it into the 9's I think but decided to go ahead and go bigger.

Looking for anywhere north of 800whp. My immediate goal is to get it dialed in at 19-21psi then just go from there. I won't spin this one near it's max. Once I get it to 15,500rpm or so I'll spray my way to whatever I need if the 15,500rpm isn't getting it done for me.

The car is a full weight daily driver that passes emissions (w/catted h-pipe installed) but it's main function is to drag race.

Almost ready to start blower install. I had oem TTY head bolts and pulled the heads to put ARP studs in.

And I'm curious to see your time slips.

I know you're trying to sell product but man, your kit is way overpriced. It's beautiful but $11,500? Really? That is $5,120 more than I paid for my KB 3.2LC setup shipped. I can buy a spare forged motor for that. Hell, think I might. And the KB included throttle body, intake, heat exchanger, i/c tank, pump, nuts, bolts, brackets, etc. Hell, they even included a tube of black RTV.

I'm going to post my numbers when I'm done but don't hold your breath. We're talking September realistically before I hit the track and probably longer before I hit a dyno.

You're replacing TTY with ARP studs and not machining the block?

your kit is way overpriced.

Better quality products with more features/items cost more money. It's economics 101.

You could have had it for $9000.

Teaser pic of the blower on my motor. This was just a fitment test.

That does look pretty nice not going to lie. Damn clean as fk in there.

Looking good so far

Looks like you ordered the liquid cooled option. 75mm TB or the bigger 168mm oval? Also interested in the specifics on your motor. Enjoy the project!

Yeah, I think the 3.2 is only available with the liquid cooled front plate.

It's the 75mm twin t/b. Man, that thing is f'n huge. I'll post a pic later. I'm afraid small birds will be sucked out of the sky when I start it.

It's a Brenspeed B302 engine that I installed in December 2011. Stage III FRPP heads w/-450 cams. Runs on E85 most of the time but I run 93 through it maybe 2 months out of the year.

I have a very similar setup with the B302, 2.8 W/75mm, on e85 as well. Currently stock heads and cams though. To give you an idea, I've seen a max of 840rwhp with my 2.8.

The 3.2 is an even bigger blower and will make some serious power. Plus any additional gains from your ported heads/cams.

Far out - I couldn't be happier with the Brenspeed short block. I got the 127-450 cams at Brenspeed's suggestion when I bought the motor. They have been great. Great, smooth idle and seem to make good power all the way up. Only dyno I ever did and the hp was still increasing pretty good when we let off at 6300.

I will try to find the max power from the 3.2 at some point but will keep it pretty mild to start with. I have a 6.5 crank pulley and the 3.25 blower pulley to start. If the math is good I'll get about 19psi more or less. The kit included a 3.00 pulley, too. I'll put that on later.

The kits now 11,500?
