turbo rebuld

[T5frankie]

i can get a kkk24 for £100 but it need a rebuild is this economically viable and with this turbo do i need a straight or angled 3" downpipe?

Think its about £350 for a rebuild but be ware that the housing may have hairline cracks in it...then its a write-off. (This happened to mine when I sent it away for refurb, ended up buying a new turbo).

Cant remember (I try not to...it keeps me sane). £700 ish rings a bell

[Wobbly Dave]

for that price you'd better of with the 19.

[Wobbly Dave]

the kkk24 is well known for cracking mate so i say no no .if i was you 19t or your 18t modded or a garrett like mine then 26 psi all day long

but you need to forge the bottom end to do that right?

I certainly wouldnt like to risk it with out aspically when the boost comes in

you could run a 2 stage boost say 1.2 at 3k then 1.6 at 4k that should help the rods a tad but i though he was going to forge his spare engine though

[claymore]

so 26psi would be to much for a standard engine? Mine will be boosting 6psi from tick over...
what would be a safe boost level on standard internals?

[Wobbly Dave]

depends on how soon you bring it in. 1.3 is about the limit I believe.

I'm running more than that now.

[smithy]

1.4 is about max on a small turbo but the bigger turbo come in lata so might be able to run more

Mine will have an SC as well

[Santa]

Bigger turbo air temperature will be lower as well so you get denser (is that a word?) air at similar pressure but may be able to push it slightly higher as well

[T5frankie]

what are you aiming for??

i want 380-400bhp mate

[claymore]

I intend to run the turbo atabout 14psi and make up the rest of the boost with the Supercharger, with 2 intercoolers.

it was at 1.5 at the rolling road day lol turned down to 1.1 bar now (16psi)
