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.

Smallest pulley I've seen 👏

2.0, all the smoke (out the exhaust)

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

 

[505_SRT]

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.

How much? 5k?

6, and you have to use your own lid, bricks. Making it difficult to sell your stock

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.

Generally try and hold on to all the old parts so I can throw them out years later

What's the photo on the bottom?

That's showing the spacer plate between the intake and the blower.

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

Interesting fitting extension

Which good are you using?

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.?

 

[Unholy707]

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

 

[Unholy707]

I’d probably do studs

 

[Unholy707]

That’s one heck of a sharp turn. Hmmm

Stock bottom end right now. No cam but I am running Long tube headers

How does it sound and feel compared to stock blower.
Louder or same?
