Why go through all the trouble. A ported eaton will out perform a 98 cobra 2.1. Plus that’s just added cost to the total of the swap.
Question about the Kenne Bell 2.1
- Thread starter Miked232
- Start date
Once I get my Kenne Bell... helpfully within 3 weeks or so. I’m gonna try something similar to what MysticK tried. Luckily enough I have a friend that’s a CNC Machinist and I’ve got a TIG welder

Definitely keep us posted please. I would be willing to buy a setup if you get it up and running and decide to sell it as a kit.
So I reached out to Kenne Bell. Took 2 voice messages and a chat request via Facebook to get a call. Not sure I would have gotten a call back had I not kept pressing? When I did get the return call the guy I spoke to was accomodating and answered the questions I had. My primary request was for the install manual, which was apparently not as easy you would think to get (did not have pdf of it on hand). He managed to get the pdf from the document creator and sent it onto me. I reviewed it and the install does look fairly straight forward. I had a couple of additional questions, so responded to his email with them.....and have yet to hear back. That was over a week ago.
So, my concern now is; how good would they be if I need help during/after the install. Maybe it all goes well and I don't need them, but then again......what if I do and I can't get a hold of them? From what I could gather they have two people answering the phones (taking orders and delivering support).
Anyways, thought I'd share my experience.

That's not promising to hear. I'm a big fan of customer support.

One of my friends suggested going thru steeda instead of Kenne Bell. I wonder if Steedas customer service is better ?

Thats honestly not that surprising from Kenne Bell. I doubt they even have someone that worked there when they were still making the 2.1L blowers.
Look up my posts from couple years back I have a 1.5l with a fabbed up inlet to flow almost double what the stock one does and a bypass valve also running a meth nozzle under the blower and one pre makes 520 rwhp at 14 psi
https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/modifying-inlet-kenne-bell-project.1093538/ I have a few more threads search back to about the same time frame
Thanks for that info. Very interesting project you took on there. Is your Cobra's bottom end forged?
What temps are you running @ 14psi? I’m having mine tuned for 10. I don’t wanna run too hot

Yes 9.1 compression dished and hbeams

Well I was running 10 psi prior to all this and just doing the inlet with no change in pulley after was 12-13 psi so I gained 3 psi free boost due to the stock inlet restriction I then added a smaller pulley and hit 14-15 psi now with a 120 degree discharge temp. I am spraying a total of 1000ml of water methanol it keeps it plenty cool
Sorry if this sounds stupid. I don’t know much about water methanol. Does this system run 24/7 or do you only use it for the track???

When you load the motor such as going into boost it sprays cooling the charge air and increasing octane no need for race fuel
Ah okay! How long does one tank last you?

I don’t daily drive my car it’s set up for drag but if I do drive it daily a half gallon tank can last to a whole gas tank or if you 1/4 mike it you get like 8-10 passes
How much does a tank run? This is my weekend warrior. My ram 1500 is my DD. Thanks!
