alright, since i blew wnother head gasket on my white truck i swapted engines to a 92 intercooled one with some mystery injectors and such, but what do i need to do about the ksb?
should it be hot all the time or not?

 

on the intercooled motor its just used to start

 

so i guess i need to figure out a way to keep power away from it, except when its cold?

 

A lot of guys just wire it to a switch.

 

but it needs no power except when cold right?, that is what i need to know

 

what will happen if the ksb has power all the time

 

The Ksb hot wired gives it more fuel and more advance. It ups the pump head pressure from what I understand. If you put it on a switch use it to start as if it were a choke, have it on till warm or turn it off right after start up.

 

no if it has power all the time itll burn it up

 

On the IC motors the ksb is activated by power from the IP, unlike the non-IC where it is powered constantly and activated by loss of power...in either case, while activated, it increases case pressure in order to increase internal advance during warm-up (as far as my understanding goes) and over-enthusiastic use is not recommended

 

12 v only when needed. (cold start or drag/dyno) Off at all other times. There is a thermal switch in the back of the head that controls it automaticaly but a manual switch works well also. The power for the switch does come from the IP shut down solinoid but any 12v keyed source will work.

 

okay thanks, i just put a switch in it since i used all the non intercooled wireing on the intercooled engine, so i dont think there is anything telling it to turn off.
