Blowzilla Oil Blowout Ad-On?
- Thread starter umustdv8

umustdv8 - I don't know if the steeda brace will fit? I saw it on an eaton car and it was pretty much as close to the eaton as you can get without touching it. Actually, the one I saw, sits in-between the horizontal slits on the eaton. So I really do not think it will fit with the KB
I have done all work on my car myself. The only thing I have had help on is the welding on the subframe connectors and exhaust and the tune.
I highly doubt it. The Steeda strut tower brace can only be mounted in one location. Have you purchased it yet if you haven't you don't want it. I can go into details why, but a strut tower brace has minimum if any gains on a mustang platform due to the suspension configuration. It does provide some rigidity reinforcement which is good especially in a vert or coil-over applications, but both Steeda and KB product offering are inadequate to accomplish this. You will be much better off going with a good 4-point k-member brace like the MM offering. If you come to the SVTOA meeting today you can see a couple 03s with screws and see the room available.
Then you will see your options for yourself. Yes it is possible to have the unit mounted differently.

toofast your car looks absolutley amazing. Very nice.
Good questions and comments.
I've never heard a good word on the KB high boost 'fix', always heard raves about Hermann's 'fix' except for a couple of people yakking about the price. As a potential buyer, I'd like to know if I have to budget for addons.
Could it be that no one at KB comes to this forum?

KB blows and has for the past decade (as long as I've known them)
If there was ever any doubt to their terrible customer service. You can read horror stories of the man himself at KB (jim) yelling YELLING at customers who call for help.
KB will never fix this problem, god knows I hope none of you ever need replacement parts for your blowers. As someone contemplating buying this blower, I suggest you do your research at several mustang websites (definitely not just here, as many of the 03' guys are totally new to the the mustang scene and dont have 10+ years of experience with the aftermarket players)
HBH's kit looks awesome, and he can charge whatever he damn well pleases since KB has everyone by the balls and won't lift a finger. THe point is though, KB if it was a decent company would fix the issue and there would be no need for hermans kit.
Anyway, /rant off.

toofast4u: Your car is awesome! I have a video of you blowin' by me :beer: I'll PM a link to you for your approval then you can share it. What rwhp do you want it to say?
Man, that KB sounds sooooo sweet when it whines up!!!!.
You gotta see it in person. I have not witnessed it running down the track, but I'll be there when he runs it. It really is something to behold.
I can't wait until mine grows up like his =)

I think you are totally right about KB. When I e-mailed them about buying some items from them back in Feb, I received a reply in 1 or 2 days. About three weeks ago I e-mailed them inquiring about the Blowzilla and it's oil-spray problem, and any possible fix coming from them (besides the tube into the wheel well). I havn't heard a thing from them yet.
BTW, toofast, your car looks awesome. I wish my RR pulley was attached to a twin-screw.
Show me the vid!
The oil spray issue has nothing to do with the quality of the kenne bell blower..

Hmmm,
I called KB(for a tech question) while installing the blower in my Lightning and was treated great. He even asked my to do something to the blower to prevent a vaccuum leak and for my troubles they sent me out a shirt and when I asked if they could send an extra one for my brother and I would pay they sent em both no charge. The fella I talked to was extremely nice and helpful and knew the answer to my question right away. Every company has there problems, it comes with being in business. -Mat-
