Title: Now i'm confuised
Post by: KAC on January 27, 2008, 04:08:47 pm

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 :D
