Now i'm confuised - IDI Engine - VWDiesel.net The IDI, TDI, and mTDI source.

• Now i'm confuised by KAC on 27 Jan, 2008 16:08
• This is what i have:
  1.6td
  1.9 headgasket 12.9 head bolts
  governer mod
  Intercooler
   k24 turbo
  
  What I want to accomplish is a bit more TQ/ HP at off idle/low rpm.
  
  I plan to do the following:
  1.9 cam plate and injector head
  more fuel and the "green spring" timing advance mod>
  I also have a k14 turbo, which is smaller I know but a little quicker boost.
  
  
  So I guess what i'm asking
   you guys stick with the K24...or The K14?
  
  this engine is in my Samurai buggy..no race car

• go with the smaller turbo.  it's a good compromise.  even a smaller k03 would be better, but then you need new oil lines.

• K14 for sure. That thing looks like fun.

• Depends, with modified fueling and a 3" downpipe I have no problems making 30 psi at low 2000rpm, thats already too fast, with a k14 with that setup it would make that boost at 1400 rpm, not really all that great.

  Ive got like a 2.5" now and my exhaust goes up..no muffler or restriction what so ever..
  
  i just don't want to spend money rebuilding the k14 when I have a perfectly good k24 on there now
   This is why I'm asking the experts
