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.

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.

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?

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???

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