Kong Blower on the way from Tapout

[Lpe385]

Super excited spoke to Mike at Tapout super nice guy set me up with X port Kong blower, 2.3 pulls, brisk plugs and belt.

Gotta wait until late Nov for install but very excited.

We received your order at 2:53 p.m. yesterday, and it was out the door by 4:00.

Thanks for your business James!

How much boost is expected with the 2.3? I’m curious how this compares to a V3 as the BW manifolds and cats appear to be higher flowing.

Approximately 12 psi with ported blower and headers.

Approximately 12 psi with ported blower and headers.

Got it, and 13-14 stock manifolds/cats ?

Yup this is what I saw on stock headers. Every now and then I see 13 with my headers. i do miss the whine i had before the headers though.

Installed just drove down the street but the blower whine is amazing. Tapout said to be easy on it for approx 30 miles to let it learn.

Mike at Tapout was great to work with. Will report back with more seat time

 

[sleepys4]

Yes yes yes! Really wakes these cars up! The blower whine alone would be worth it!

Come on son, this is a must have. The car pulls like a freight train on the big end. Gonna have to tune this thing and maybe some C&R bricks for lower IAT’s.

Again Tapout was great

I really didn’t need to see this….

Seems like a very cost effective upgrade considering the gain.

On stock tune? 103tb or stock? I'd love to pop on the blower without having to worry about the tune for now but I had seen some dynos showing 12:5 afr and possibly leaner so I'm on the fence now.

Let us know when you're ready to get started on the tuning.

Changing the blower and throttle body will NOT change the WOT fueling. However, on the cars we're tuning, we are leaning them out to some degree for the best combination of performance and reliability.

Stock tune…. For now. Tony mambo ported throttle body and green filter.

You will hear from me soon sir

I thought the same but then saw a LMP vid where they mentioned it went a bit on the lean side, Graph showed 12.5 I believe but there were leaner sections, Perhaps in Lower RPM's not a big deal.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for replying!

It's was noting but "no tune needed!" for 103TB and Kong port, but now that the ECU is accessible, it's lean? Hmmm, feels suspect to me. While I agree there is some improvement to fueling with a proper tune, but these two mods on the stock tune are totally safe.

I agree. In fact, the stock tune runs RICHER than our aftermarket tunes.
