Apparently.
jesus what backwoods Neanderthal owned this car prior to you?
My god. recipe for disaster.
And people wonder why I've yet to track the car...
Would love to see the Air/fuel ration on that run.
Man I remember seeing your boost level when you first got the car and I thought you would’ve dropped it by now.
FWIW you can make about the same power on 15-16psi with most aftermarket blowers.
As far as the max RPM goes I have an opinion on this. Everyone worries about over spinning the blower, but it's not like the blower is at that RPM very long. It'll sit there for maybe a second or two and then you shift or decelerate. The other 90% of the time the blower is well below max RPM because the engine is at part throttle.
But over all, the blower will be spinning faster RPM v RPM and that in theory will impact its life expectancy as that is more rotations = more wear.
Also, as others have said, it blows your IATs out and that will cause detonation on a car with out a knock-sensor.
KB 2.2's are grenades just waiting for someone to pull the pin.
That is an interesting comment. And one that I have never heard before....anywhere or any forum. Do you speak from experience or where did you come up with this? Nothing is perfect. Everything tears up given sufficient time and with enough abuse...as these cars are notorious for. So yeah, has a KB grenaded here and there? I'm sure it has. But likewise so has a Whipple, a TVS, Lyscholm, etc.KB 2.2's are grenades just waiting for someone to pull the pin.
