Kenne Bell identification (also stiff gas pedal)

He guys was hoping I could get help identify this KB. Pretty sure it’s a gen 1 2.2. There is no catch can and after hard acceleration there is oil on the top right corner of the blower and a little bit on the snout. ALSO the throttle pedal is super stiff. Combined with the 800hp McLeod clutch (that has no firewall adjuster) the car is difficult to drive. I have a BBK throttle body and have read it sucks and causes a shit gas pedal. What’s a good replacement? Having a real hard time uploading pictures for some reason keeps saying server error

Is the BBK a single blade or dual blade set up? Is it hard to press in the begining or all the way through the travel?

Disconnect your throttle cable from the throttle body and see which component is sticking and go from there.

My bet is the BBK throttle body. Last one I owned would stick for the first few minutes of driving if the car sat long enough to cool off. If I cleaned it everything was fine for a few days then it would stick again.

Double post freaking server errors killing me

Haven’t had time to take the intake off and look. But it definitely is hard to press in the beginning.

My Accufab would stick when first pressed when I bought my car. I adjusted the throttle stop about a turn to open the blade and its been fine since. I think the area of of single blade caused it to be held closed by the vacuum. Cracking the blade a little got rid of that suction.

I thought the gen 1 had the catch can and the gen 2 didn't...? The connection for the can on the snout is clearly capped off so I'm wondering if the can has been removed for some reason. I'll see if I have a pic of my 2.2 handy. Nothing on snout of mine like yours has.

Believe mine is a gen 1.

So it’s definitely a 2.2. Just don’t know what gen and why there isn’t a catch can.
