Gearbanger 101 said:I hope you realize though, that the 2.1L is only going to make a difference over the 1.7L at the top end of the spectrum, right? If you don't plan on pushing it past the limits of your stock internals, it won't prove any more effictive at making power than the original 1.7L would.
Perhaps.....I guess only real world testing will prove it for sure. I’ll never believe anything I read in a Kenne Bell advertisement (since they’re so famous for their creative exaggerations), so I’ll have to see a few cars running them first before I pass any final judgment. Traditional big bore blowers are great for making more power at higher levels, since they're capable of moving a larger volume of air at slower blower speeds, but at the same time they tend to lose out a little down low because they're prone to leak down due to their longer sealing length in comparison to a physically smaller design. Since I don't know the specifics on their new rotor profile, I can't really make judgment on them at this point, but that's how it's been in the past with all styles of positive displacement blowers.san~man said:It actually does. Not much more, but it does. It's just more efficient at a given boost level due to the new rotor design, which equals: 1.less heat, 2. less parasitic loss, and 3. longer durability in the end.
I think they said the difference at the same boost level between the two was only like 5HP.
tradde said:No, not really. I originally thought that would be the case when I read it
and had only had my 1.7L for a few months. But I have no plans on
going to more boost so I am extermely happy with what I have. It's
been working great now for just a tad over 2000 miles. Love that extra
power.
I don't know if your interested in a used one but a guy over at modularfords upgraded to the 2.2 and is selling his 1.7 for about $3k.1fast03pony said:Its 4999 for the 99-04 6-14 psi kit intercooled...
Ordering it tomorrow since the heads/cam plan was a disaster...
SVT focus pump is on the way also. Im using the 9psi pulley.
Im doin the install myself. Look for pics throughout the next few weeks...

1fast03pony said:Off topic, but how is your car with the KB power and the 4.10s?
hotmustang331 said:Agreed!
StratGT said:Check a couple of things with this kit before you buy it. If it comes with 36lb injectors, get the Lightning 42's. If your going with a complete rebuilt motor and want more boost, get the SCT 90mm MAF. Forget the KB Heat Exchanger because its a complete joke, look into a Gord's HE. See if the place you buy it from will do this for you before you buy it or you'll end up doing it down the road.
