Where did you get that carbon fiber lid? Or is it hydro dripped?

 

It's just hydro dipped

 

Nice seeing another dirty engine bay here

 

Hate that. I usually spray some water on it once a year ish. But only like 2k miles a season so it's pretty clean

 

Very cool. I didn’t know that this was available yet. I hope you make big power with it.

 

Thanks man! I'll be sure to update as I go

 

Watched one on a Trackhawk on YT and it was wicked nasty.
They mentioned one on a Demon 170 that easily ran 8.50’s. That’s amazing considering the D170 has a 3.0 blower from the factory and most people are getting low to mid 9’s stock.

 

I've seen those! I'm excited to get it going!

 

Received my Kong 2650 last week! I have only seen the big shops installing these right now so I figured I would share my experience.

I got the supercharger mounted yesterday. The Kong does not use the long bolts that go through the body onto the heads like the OEM supercharger does. I would say that's the most "difficult" part of the install.

Also, the 130mm throttle body does sir further forward than the OEM or the 108mm I previously had so the intake tube mounting will be slightly different but not a big deal. Waiting on a few things to come in but should be starting it up soon.

That TB looks HUGE!!!!

 

It's 130mm! Thing is huge

 

Do you have any pics of the actual installation?

 

Honestly it really is a direct bolt on so I didn't do a step by step because the process is 95% the same as installing an OEM blower. I'm going to take pictures of the differences and discuss them a bit here soon.

 

Nice

 

How hard is it to torque the bolts to the heads?

 

Following. Please post back after you get it set and tuned. Love to hear more about results!

 

Thanks. I'll be getting some testing in soon!

 

If someone buys me one I’ll do a complete step by step write up

 

How much? 5k?

 

Bolt down is basically the same as a Whipple

Smallest pulley I've seen 👏

 

2.0, all the smoke (out the exhaust)

 

Some notes on the install here that make it different from an OEM install.

The kit comes with a quick disconnect fitting to go between the OEM fuel rail fitting and the fuel line that runs behind the supercharger. The placement of the fuel rails on the 2650 is wider than the OEM and this makes up for that difference.

I had the 5/8 spacer on my ported blower. I had initially tested closing the hood with the intake off and it closed just fine, however, after installing the intake, I noticed it clashes with my bwoody tube. I will likely end up taking the spacers off and just using gaskets if I can't find a hood that will give me the clearance I need. The hood closes if I push hard but not correctly. So I think I can conclude the 1 inch spacer would definitely not work here.

 

What's the photo on the bottom?

 

Get a hood like mine and you’ll fit any supercharger intake manifold or turbo under there no problem

 

Which good are you using?

 

Interesting fitting extension

 

Here are some pictures of the new supercharger to block bolts location. A little trickier to get to but not bad.

I wanted to show how much further the intake sits compared to OEM location. This is how far off the Bwoody mounting tag is from where it's supposed to mount

 

Here it is mostly put together. I did my first few test pulls. It made 19psi on the 2.75 pulley and that is at an elevation of 5200ft. Peaks at 19psi in 4th with a 6500rpm redline. So for those of you at high elevation that's a good data point when picking out your pulley set up. Sea level would probably make another 2-3psi on the same pulley.

Nice!! What’s your engine displacement? Any Headers cam etc.?

 

Nice! Asking a lot out of those Allen head screws though man. Get flange bolts asap

 

I’d probably do studs

 

That’s one heck of a sharp turn. Hmmm

 

Most anticipated / worst thread ever lol

 

You could always get the blower yourself and do your own thread if this one isn't to your liking lol I'm posting what I see noteworthy as I go compared to the OEM blower install

 

KONG 2650 IS THE HYPE REAL?!
Drama's big, but you get the picture. You be the judge.

 

I'm street tuning mine remotely now. I'll get some time on a dyno and get some numbers based on my set up to share as well. So far I'm impressed

 

The guy with the Trackhawk above mentioned someone putting one on a D170 and running 8.50’s which is nuts since it’s a much smaller blower than the 3.0 IHI. that most people run 9.3-9.5.

 

Impressive what the 2650 is doing on that well built Demon 170. Love it!

 

People run runs consistently stock blower on demon 170. What pulley was he running on the long? Demon 170 makes more power now matter what

 

That Kong 2650 is looking super efficient.

With their smallest pulley, the 2.35", at redeye WOT of 6500 RPM and with an ATI 10% lower the 2650 rotors are spinning just under 25k RPM--slower in fact than the IHI male rotor on a stock HC setup with stock lower and 6250 RPM redline, and yet putting up Whipple 3.8 levels of performance...

It's much easier to source bearings that can handle 25k RPM than the 30k+ RPM some are pushing their IHIs to--so these Kong 2650s (assuming they did put in good bearings), are not likely to eat themselves when pushed this hard. These units should be very durable.

Catching attention and rightfully so.
