Lola's getting KPE Supercharged! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

derek1387 · 07-20-2016, 11:36 AM

As many of you know, I have been itching to move on with my build of Lola. I think Will, Jason, and I have pushed the limits without moving internally on the LFX.

That being said....I have just signed on with KPE, and will be running their new and improved Vortech supercharger kit. Changes are going to be made to some of the brackets, the catch can setup, the power steering setup, and the MAF setup. KPE is also working on developing a top mount supercharger kit, and other V6 Camaro parts...a one stop shop, if you may.

With the help Jay and Ryan at KPE, and Will at Overkill, we hope to push Lola to the extreme.

KPE is going to go above and beyond what KPE originally offered, and no more "We need to pre-sell 10 kits before we make any". The goal is to have kits on the shelf, and parts on the shelf, and actual tech support available, instead of having to wait an undetermined amount of time for help or parts or kits.

I will be doing a full build log/DIY thread, as well as a few dyno days, and comparisons with several parts, to help you in the decision of going forced induction. As I have been with Overkill, I will also be here to help with any technical issues you might run into, or questions that you might have.

Here is to a new beginning with KPE, and a promising future for the V6 Community!

Thanks for the opportunity KPE, cant wait, and happy to be a part of the team!

Could you give more detail on the new MAF set up and would anything be available for ppl who already have the original Ipf kit?

derek1387 · 07-25-2016, 09:43 PM

We are working on that as we speak. Jay will announce some things this week.

Who will be doing the tuning? Will or KPE?

Lil' Nasty · 07-30-2016, 09:10 AM

I'd be soooooo interested in the upgrades...mainly the power steering set up lol I seriously thought there wouldn't be anything like this after they had their "last batch".. looking forward to your build derek.

Overkill is doing the tuning.

We just got a donor car to the shop for mock up and then the kit will be shipped to me to start doing the build thread/log

derek1387 · 08-04-2016, 03:23 AM

Mmmm...sexiness.
3.5" diameter for better, more accurate tuning. Quality billet construction with air straightener. Both LFX and LLT versions. Only stainless steel T clamps are used now, no "hose clamps" like the past.

Been running mine for 8 months, handles a lot of boost.

Awesome! It sounds like this was not originally included in the IPF kits?

Well, it's going to be now with the KPE

Yeah, Will pointed me to it on Ebay. Before I has issues with trying to get a maf tube for the LLT.

Originally the IPF kit had the MAF in a 4" tube behind the air filter in a draw through setup. It allowed about 11 psi of boost before maxing out.
