It's hard to tell from the pics, but it actually looks like they're touching. :eek: I wonder what it dynoed at.....
EDIT: oh, I see it says 400 RWHP, but it also says that it hasn't ben tuned yet. Only 5,000 miles on it :confused:

"one of a kind" maybe two of a kind. I believe Effster here on MM.net had the first Kenne Bell blown mm.

jeremyYep...in fact, I thought it was his car at first. Until I saw the location. It sounds a bit fishy to me that someone would spend thousands of dollars just to make the car go faster, and not even get it tuned correctly so that extra power can be used. That coupled with the fact that all the $$ was spent on the car for modification, and it's being sold with only 5,000 miles on the clock. I know that the guy might have run into some type of personal problems (divorce, or whatever) but it just makes me wonder if everything went okay with the application and the installation. Jeff (aka "Effster") had a tough time getting everything right with his set-up since the kit isn't intended for Marauders according to what he indicated to me via PM.....

It looks like it uses 1 serpentine belt for everything. It looks like a decent installation although the EGR looks a little "tossed in".
I say Bravo to them for doing it.

The battery is probably in the trunk, the car is not one of kind, Paul did this first two years ago along with a six speed manual. The first thing that catches my eye is for sale, and then the car makes 400 RWHP unturned? so here he spent the money and has not even had the car tuned and is trying to sell it in seven days, I also notice they never even removed the factory air box rubber shock mounts, but they did maintain OEM fan shroud and cooling reservoir, I have had many people tell me of deals on ebay, but I also have heard of many complete nightmares.

I was looking at the pictures and did not see an intercooler reservior. Is there one? If not would this limit the boost that should/could be used (ie only 6 psi?)

jeremy Good point it should be under the hood if it has no inner cooler this would not be a good set up

But I think that I noticed an aluminum heat exchanger in one of the pics shining through the grill. So I would think that it's intercooled. But who knows?

Good job scout!

Who's gonna call and get the skinny?The report is that this is a Pre Kenne Bell kit install that uses a Pre 03 Cobra lower intake w/ a blower plate custom made by Stanley Aviation and a blower made for pre 03 Cobras. I forgot to ask about the battery as I lost interest about the time he said pre KB kit. LOL :lol:
