Single turbo or kb 2.8 ?

[Mr. Whistle]

So I've been looking around and I'm trying to decide what direction I want to take with my cobra. The only goals I have for it are 750+ rwhp and I want it to be an easy 9 second street car. Idk which path would be better for me, the kb or a turbo set up.

I wondered upon this kit from on3performance and have never heard of them before so I'm skeptical since it is a cheaper kit.

Do you think that this single would be worth the $1900 or should I go with a kb instead. I believe the kb will get me where I want to be. Or do you think I'm best off just saving a few more pennies and going to a complete twin turbo set up.

That turbo kit will not support your goals.

I didnt think it would. I think the kb can get me where i want to be. Im flexible on the hp numbers. I really just want a SOLID 9 second street car.

That looks shady. If all turbo kits were that cheap my grandma's fusion would be turbod by now.

I think I'd like to have one for the efficiency standpoint but unfortunately the kits are always around 8k

9 second cars that are streetable with full interiors are not cheap to build. Most times when you cut cost reliability goes out the window. You also have to look at what it takes as a package and I am not just talking power. I went with a solid and a baseline rear suspension to get my car to hook. I felt there are to many 800rshp cars that can only manage 12s so I wanted to build the entire car to run consistant times.

sry to hijack the thread.

I am looking at a 2.9L whipple with crusher, or a hellion single 76bb billet wheel.

I cant really decide either. I want the car to run high nines maybe with race gas, or mid tens on pump gas. I am going with a solid, but would like to keep the six-speed.

While I cant vouch for this particular kit, there is no reason for a turbo kit to cost $6000+. Owning 1 of each (centrifugal,positive displacement, turbo) all I can say is that with a properly sized turbo these cars would be monsters. My Buick has a stock v6 and is making 450rwhp and 500rwtq with a te61 turbo at 22psi. I can only imagine what that turbo would do to my 4v.

There are a lot of info on those kits. They have been out for a while. With the upgraded turbo your power goals are very capable.

In order to run 9's your talking about a lot of money and work involved. Not to mention that you have to be a hell of a driver. What's wrong with a low 11 second street car? You will be wrecking almost anything that you come across on the street and it wont break the bank.

its gonna cost a little more, but if your set on 9's then its no big deal! we have a local 03 with a 3.4 whipple/6speed running deep 10's/high 9's.. full interior.. im gonna try to run my car deep into the 10's this year.. and im sure i will try to keep going faster, lol.. but if i were to build a street car that can run 9's, i would go Turbo!!
