A good addition to this blower kit would be fuel injection. Looks to me like there is room in the plenum right on top of the intake tubes to create a sort of port injection setup with the streams aimed straight down the tube.

This should be a good kit, for those inclined. I have used this type of blower (KF Engineering out of ScCal) on various applications, but mostly on 88-90 GSXR’s. Richard Sims and Tony? Rohm of Sims and Rohm Performance back in the late 80’s used these blowers on GSXR 750/1100’s to make em go. The 750 was capable of 175hp while the 1100 would make 215. Big problem was back fires (and fuel consumption). Would create havoc with the all internal components if a blow-off valve wasn’t installed. KF Blowers are good quality and have excellent durability. Rebuilding is a pain as they are precision equipment and shimmed very tightly. Proper jetting on the bike can be difficult too, as dynamically the air flow in the plenum is affected by the turbulence created by the blower. Once it is set up correctly, it is typically fine, just takes a bit of time to get it correct.

There have been other supercharger kits out there but Randakk wanted to build what he believes to be a better kit and given the nice job he did on his Endurance Special, I figure it’s probably worth a look if you’re an old Wingman.
