I don't see why not. You could do a wet shot since it would go through the injectors, and I'm sure theres a way to rig up a plate system for a dry shot under the blower.


You should still confirm with Kenne Bell before you do that though. Don't want to screw up a several thousand dollar blower.
a wet system doesnt go through the injectors.

when it starts to create alot of heat and becomes insufficient(if thats the right word) basically to the point where you start to turn your supercharger into a hairdryer and it just blows hot air.

Actually, on the KB 2.1l kit, the problem is the intake manifold isn't set up to support cfm the blower flows at more than 14 psi. The blower itself actually won't be maxed out. If you want to run more than that thats when you go to the blowzilla. It comes with a higher flowing manifold and bigger blower.

get menthol before you try any of that and then it might alow you to get a few extra psi out of the blower before it gets to hot

yeah, after spending all the money i did on a forged motor with ported heads and blower cams....im kinda kicking myself for getting the KB 2.1... while its still a street car which im currently running at 10psi, i'd LIKE to have the potential of the 2.6 big bore kit...supposedly you can run it up to 20psi without any issues.... I wonder what that kinda power would be like...lol....maybe someday.....
