Project Excursion Kenne Bell Install

Finally got around to pulling my Kenne Bell V10 kit out of storage.

I will snap some photos of install and update this thread as I progress.

I'm a slow worker so this will take a few weeks.

Here is first photo of my system.

Still need injectors, fuel pump, and Snipper tune...5 star said they couldn't help.

I'll be following along AND fighting the temptation to follow in your footsteps!
Good luck getting it all put together and properly tuned.

I wish Jim Bell was still making these things! I've known Jim a long time and bought a lot of Buick parts from him. He's a sharp guy!

Nice! Should be an exciting thread.

Are you going to replace the pump itself or get a BAP?

If you look at photo you will see a boost a pump, but I'm not installing it. New pump and injectors will be installed.

Cool, didn't get a good look at the pic. What size injectors does the kit call for?

Kit specs oem injectors with boost a pump.

I will be using 25 lb injectors. My elevation would probley allow oem 19s but I will upgrade.

On my 1995 Eagle Talon tsi, my oem injectors don't max out at 15 psi boost and 6500 rpm. I have even hit 21 psi briefly with only 65% duty cycle on those injectors. Elevation is a funny animal.

Most oem injectors would max out at 1/2 that down below 5000 feet. Since I am at 8000 ft it takes more to max them out.

For instance this KB kit is a 6 psi system. At my elevation the first 3 psi just brings me to sea level. Apples to apples this KB kit for me is a 3 psi equivalent system. Below 6000 rpm oem injectors would probably work. Not taking that chance though.
