BOSS 260 + Kenne Bell

bigbretty · 30-03-2011, 05:32 PM

Hey fellas,

have there been many successful combinations of the 2.6 KB and the boss 260 in stock form?

ReVd_uP · 30-03-2011, 08:43 PM

No complaints from me that's for sure....as the lads over at Nike say, Just Do It

Herrod Motorsport · 30-03-2011, 08:56 PM

The only two supercharger kits to use are the Kenne bell or the harrop both are at the leading edge all the others dont come close. Pick one of these two and you will be very impressed to say the least.

Can the harrop charger meet ADR Compliance Rob??

Please dont get confused with ADR compliance Vs ADR emissions.. to get a blower kit ADR complianced you need to crash test cars and no one would be willing to pay the couple of hundred thousands dollars for that.

Every blower kit can pass ADR emissions easy on low boost but you would spend lots of money to get one passed if you wanted like more than 6+ psi.

I know Herrods have had lots of exprienance with ADR rules and regs and there is no one more quailifed than Herrod Motorsport in the rules and regs with a harrop S/C Kit

Yep I had a 260 kenne bell ....
You really need to go for a ride in one to understand how amazing they are...
Turned a stock 260 into a weapon.....

Although I am building a tuff F6 at the moment my next car will be another kenne bell v8

Generally we see the 260 motor making about 20-40kw less than the 290 with same mods..

What will stand out the most is that you will have power and torque below 4000 rpm where now its got nothing..

If you drop past on a saturday i can take you for a drive in a Non intercooled KB on a 260 and give you a taste what i mean

Oh how i'd love to

But it seems that the almost 2000km drive might take a me a little longer than saturday morning :P

bigbretty · 31-03-2011, 06:14 PM

What sort of power can you expect out of it intercooled and non-intercooled??

Winter XR8 · 31-03-2011, 08:45 PM

How much is the non intercooled setup on BA? Will 4 speed handle the extra power?

bigbretty · 31-03-2011, 09:02 PM

i'm also interested in price for both kits, fitted and tuned, already got big enough headers to handle it, just need to change the cat back part.

**Theo@BluePower** · 01-04-2011, 10:22 AM

Well i am doing a group buy for next month on I/C and Non I/C kits..

I will keep you posted when prices are finalised

Thanks

What are the general power outputs of both kits tuned with full exhaust and BPR airbox?

**Theo@BluePower** · 01-04-2011, 11:15 AM

Non Intercooled 2.6L K.B kit fitted to a 260 Boss

Stock exhaust and BPR CAI we see 280-300kw with about 4-6Psi
with D/F big boy exhuast and BPR CAI we see 300-350kw with 4-6Psi

Intercooled 2.6L Kit fitted to a 260 Boss

Would not do it with stock Exhaust..
D/F Big Boy and BPR CAI we see 350-380Kw 9-10Psi

mrhide · 01-04-2011, 03:21 PM

Terry

King Dribble · 02-04-2011, 06:07 PM

Yessir, also keenly waiting.

bigbretty · 04-04-2011, 11:28 AM

Hey Theo,

what can we expect in these kits?

**Theo@BluePower** · 05-04-2011, 08:35 AM

Will advise guys sorting it now

BABOSS · 07-04-2011, 10:33 AM

Wonder how the stock internals would go with this? Would you have to 'baby' it? Any risk of rods bending?

**Theo@BluePower** · 07-04-2011, 11:41 AM

We have not seen any probs with upto 10psi in these cars .. remember the Kenne Bell has the lowest dischrage temp of all the blowers and this helps keep these cars alive as well as getting tuned at a good tuning shop.

bigbretty · 07-04-2011, 02:18 PM

sounds exactly the type of thing i'm looking for.

The ute could possibly a sleeper .... if there wasn't the whine under the bonnet :P

ReVd_uP · 07-04-2011, 05:46 PM

They're pretty quiet till you come on boost, then its party time

bigbretty · 08-04-2011, 05:14 AM

Yeah, well that's good i suppose :P

japshadow69 · 15-04-2011, 07:50 PM

Looking foward to seeing the Kit contents/prices. Are you looking for a April or May special?

bigbretty · 21-04-2011, 05:47 AM

Hey Theo,

What sort of time frame do you have for the start of your special??

Thanks

Brett

**Theo@BluePower** · 21-04-2011, 03:34 PM

Calm down kids..........our engineer is just finishing up his holidays, prices very soon!!!

King Dribble · 27-04-2011, 12:46 PM

Dear Blue Power, will these specials include the 2.8LC jobs as we've seen other members get so excited (rightly so) about?

**Bluepower** · 27-04-2011, 04:29 PM

In a word, Yes.

XR8BFMkII · 08-05-2011, 11:34 PM

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how legal or illegal these may or may not be in NSW?

If they are illegal, what has to do done to make them legal?

Cheers................
