The time has come for the imfamous KB.

My motor just hit 25k miles. Will it be safe to run a constant 6-8 PSI boost without worrying about blowing the engine.. if it is a DD?

Also, If I only plan to run 6-8 psi of boost, do I need to purchase an intercooler? Not unless I plan on doing a few more psi of boost correct?

The kit I plan on buying is the TS1000-99 for ~$3899. It comes with all the needed components such as the manifold, hoses, belts, etc. Other than the kit, and new spark plugs, do I need anything else?

Is there anything else I should know before doing this?

 

You're right, 6-8 should be fine on the stock block, at 25K miles I would not be worrying about blowing your engine on 6-8 PSI (assuming you got a decent tune). You are going to need it dyno tuned, that's for sure.

 

yea don't be worried about your engine untill your in the 400's then you can start worrying about your rods and stuff

 

what about stock fuel pump and injectors, are they sufficient enough for a S/C?

 

No, both need to be upgraded. Do a search on this subject and I'm certain you will get tons of information.

 

If you are buying the kit from K/B it comes with bigger injectors and boost a pump.

 

you need bigger injectors and better fuel pump(svt pump)also you should consider intercooling it ,those blowers make alot of heat and would run better with an intercooler.make sure you get a good tune as well.

 

Ok. cahtr6 is correct. The kit does include the bigger injectors and boost-a-pump. What would be the advantages of buying a intercooler now and only running 6-8 lbs of boost?

 

yea def 25k is nothin- you'll be fine

 

I got the intercooled kit and i would definatly recommend that. It drastically reduces intake temperature and plus you will net a nice gain in horses with the ability to run more boost without detonation. The kit comes complete. The only thing youll have to buy, or I had to buy...was 3 gallons on anti-freeze, spark plugs, and additional tools i needed along the way
