I want to build hybrid turbo. Bigger impeller (k26) put into smaller, machined housing (k24). Is it good or bad idea? How does it work if I compare hybrid vs stock turbo?
-
it can be done it's an upgrade... this turbo won't fit on like the stock one, you'll need a spacer for it to fit. i think when it was discussed before, that it was decided that an aftermarket turbo is a better route, but the k24/k26 hybrid is the cheaper route
-
you'll need a spacer for it to fit.
what spacer and why?
another question is if this hybrid will be more efficient than stock turbo if I stick with stock small, machined housing?
-
the compressor housing is bigger and won't fit, the spacer would go between the turbo and the manifold, from what i know. do a search this has been covered before
-
I want to use stock k24 compressor housing only machined to fit on bigger impeller. What do you think about it?
-
if you can do it... go for it! sounds to me like quite a bit of machining though... make sure you can get it nice and smooth in case the compressor wheel rubs a little bit... but ideally you don't want it to rub at all!
-
one more question, should I put bigger cold side and stick with stock k24 hotside, or should I also put bigger k26 hotside?
-
How big is that K26?
-
hard to tell. It's from iveco truck 2,8td, probably bigger than mercedes one but who knows
-
I'm afraid if stock k24 hotside would make too much exhaust gas pressure :?
-
anybody will help? is it better to stick with stock k24 hotside or put something bigger?
-
No machining required, you need a complete K26 and K24 turbo. Take off the compressor side of the K24 down to oil cooler, then replace with K26 components from that point on: ( flange, compressorwheel, and K24 nut and K26 housing)
