kenne-bell noise

[BlackVert]

what kind of noise is normal from a kenne-bell?

i hear a sort of low pitched whine, which i am guessing is normal, but i just want to make sure.

Low pitched is not good....






























You want that thing SCREAMING! Nah, i dont know for sure but i would assume that at low boost levels like u are probably pushing, a slight whine is probably expected because those things really scream when u up the boost.

dosent JR have a bunch of videos with the KB on his car at idle/driving around

heh ... you scared me for a sec.

i have the 8# pulley on right now.

the blower was just rebuilt, and i have the right amount of synthetic oil in it, so i'm sure it must be fine ... i just want to make sure ...

I was surprised at how quiet mine was. unlike 03/04 Cobras oursare considered "sleepers" until you get higher in the rpms then it starts to scream . At Idle you may hear a ticking sound which is just the screws clanking together.

This is right after I finished up the install and started it up.

that's my blower! it has the same sound now as it did when you had it.

i assume that is a normal sound?

how long before it went south on you and do you know what the cause was?

 

[KBCobra95]

My blower (brand new) does not sound like that. No whine until you mash it hard. Sounds cool though!

I was always like that and never really went south. It pulled hard as a mofo the whole time I had it. It had all of the symptons from day one and that's why I took it off and decided to go turbo.
I have no clue why it was eating oil and how it was even going through the blower and out of my exhaust???

Mine sounds like a powersteering pump when its cold out, when i warms up, the whine is a little higher pitched

by "all of the symptoms", do you mean just the sound or were there more symptoms?
