TURBOS TURBOS TURBOS??????

[RabbitJockey]

i think i'm having hg problems at 25psi but as long as i don't get on it it doesn't do it.

[Typrus]

Yeah, thats it, BleachedBora.
I've heard good things about them. Several people recommend them as a replacement when the GT15 croaks.

80,000 pascals


 Sounds a lot till you realise its only 0.8 BAR or 11.6 PSI :lol:

I am currently running 30psi unintercooled, or so on a KKK24 everyday, the motor has about 40K on it, and shows 490psi across the board, and I have never had a HG problem with it. Pump is only moded by huge cut in fuel pin, and minor revlimter mod.

My previous car, I ran 35psi+ and beat the crap out of it, it had every last concivable mod that you can do to a stock pump, I ran both the T3 and the kkk24 on it, and it had enough fuel that it spooled it close to as quick as a k14 on a stock 1.9td. It ran stock fibergasket and stock headbolts, and never had a hg problem. Yes it had serious EGT issues within a short WOT run, but was fun none the less.

Now we need to get Malone or Dave @ PP to chime in about the franken motor as IIRC even with a 1.9hg and studs that it had some pressurizing of the cooling system, but I could be wrong.

Hehehe yeah I remember your old jetta Brett, I know before that car was scrapped that I did put a 1.9hg with stock bolts in it. But it wasn't because your stock one failed, but because I pulled the head off already to check your valves because your timing belt failed when it was idling outside, remember how your belt walked right off the side of the pump sprocket? That was weird, it was cause that stupid bracket under the pump came loose. But yeah besides that the engine was stock, I was always amazed how badlyyou bet that thing, seems like I was doing more tranny swaps on that car than I remember you driving it :lol:

Yeah the franken motor I had go up to 37-40 psi, there were some coolant issues I remember, we were blowing up the coolant tanks, luckily they were pretty cheap. But he had problem with the water pump too, I think it was blowing the O ring out were the water pump goes into the block, and that was what killed that engine, water loss. Its been a while, and I didn't document enough on that engine. Oh well my tdi is almost done I am o ringing the head, and plan on running 45 psi. Guess I'll see what happens.

I had totally forgot about that stupid pump bracket... Good times. :lol:

Ok so now does anybody know the A/Rs of each turbo? What size would be good to look for if i was to buy a turbo or find one on an other car? Also i was at the junkyard this weekend and found an Audi Quattro 5000 w/turbo. The guy said he wanted $75 if i pulled it.

[foxracer1]

Ok now whats the max amount of boost each turbo makes efficently?

Garret T3- I have heard around 23Psi?
KKK-K14 - 18psi?
KKK-K24 - smokey dub is runnin 27psi!
KKK-K26- ?
Hybrid K24/26- ?
Garret T2 - ?
KKK-K03-003 - ?
KKK-K03-006 - ?
Garret GT15 - ?
Garret VNT-15 - 15-17psi?

You need to take into account flow too, but I'm not sure how you can do that.      I'm sure with the 20 year design differences in compressor technology etc between the older and newer "size" might not mean as much.

[SMOKEYDUB]

usually you can get a k24 to boost even higher keep in mind i have a huge intercooler that cools very well and its plumbed with 2.5 inch tubing and my cylinder head and my intake manifold are extremely ported and polished to less restriction equals less boost. The definition for boost is... Boost is a result of restriction.With no restriction you will have no boost. So try and get rid of restrictions it will run a little less pressure but it will be more efficient.
