Turboswap in an ECOdiesel (K14->K24)
« Reply #15 on: June 18, 2005, 07:57:14 pm »
I had my K14 rebuilt, it was in bad shape, serious carbon build up in the bearing areas. Anyway, it responds much better and now I can actually hear the whine.  It cost me to have it done but I feel better, As for boost the most I can get out of it now is 10psi, I tried to adjust it but must not have turned the adjustment screw enough because it didn't change any. It does spool up quick that is for sure. I pretty much have a new system, rebuilt engine, pump by Giles, and turbo. Hopefully it will last me a long time.

Yes, it has great response, i can also hear the wine, but she starts to make noise like metal marbels in metal box (I don't know which expression to use to describe it)..I guess the bearing is about to go..
I was planning to put an IC unit, but i dont know were..I read , some guy placed it horizontaly, and put a squirl cage blower on it...I don't know how to translate that, what is that and how does it look like..can anyone help?..
Excuse me on my bad English
