02KBGT

hey all, im new to the forum.

im looking to buy a GT and i found one that has a KB supercharger..its the 1.7 pump gas model

the car also has an some bolt ons (intake exhaust and headers)

can someone tell me if this SC is any good and what kinda numbers it can put down without pumping up the PSI?

thanks all..

umm KB is probably the top of the line Twin screw out there for street/strip applications IMO... you might see 12's dont quote me on that though

I wouldnt buy a car with a s/c already on it.

1. It was probably beat to hell.
2. You don't get the gratification of doing it yourself.

But... the kb is a very nice charger.

but i read the 1.7 doesnt put out a ton of hp. In stories i have read about them, they put out over 400+ but that was on race gas at like 22 deg timing. That being said, i would love to have on too, just too much $$$.

I would check it out. Wouldn't worry too much about the car already having the blower on it myself. I guess it depends on what year the car is. I don't think I'd buy a car that has been using forced induction for more than 3-4 years. Those KB's are pretty nice.
What year is it?

Is it intercooled and what is the output (6 psi?). Intercooled KBs with the stock 6 psi are supposed to add 105 hp.

a properly setup (exhaust and intake botlons) 1.7L KB should easily make 400 to the tire on pump gas (93)

is there a link? any more specs on the motor? miles? mods?

LvGordo

i have read about them quite a bit and have heard people complain that they get like 350-360 on like 9psi over at modular powerhouse forums.

it may not put out as much hp as a centrifical but will somtimes run better with the right setup. it hits full boost way lower. there is this guy gijoe on modularpowerhouse.com who has a novi 2000 that produces higher numbers then his kb setup he has now but his kb runs better times.
