anyone know anything about KKK K26's?

[Nerfdude]

someone gave this thing to me. it was free.

it's a KKK K26. supposedly off an audi 5000.... supposedly comparable to a t3. also, supposedly will fit a t3 exhaust flange. can anyone confirm this? or tell me ANYTHING about this turbo? seems to be in great condition, minus having a bolt broken off inside it.. but i can drill that out.

i know blitz uses that on in one of ther turbo kits..or is it a K27??

anyway..is that regular T3 or euro T3 flange??...i jus found out about those...so that too is a consideration seein as how it came off an audi

oh...its a german turbo..common on VWs, Audis, and porsche..maybe mercedes..idk


edit: yup jus checked its a K27 for an FD...if its an upgrade for an FD it must be decent and big...even though its a K26 it should be ok

edit #2 http://splparts.com/Silvia/Turbo/TurboKit.asp (http://http://splparts.com/Silvia/Turbo/TurboKit.asp) <---there is a kit for an S14 using the K26 and the K27

Don't know anything about the turbo itself. However i do know they are VERY high quality turbos. Audi obviously uses them and so does Porsche.

hmmm... good to know. yeah, it's a k26, not 27. it was used on the 944 turbo... the 911's got the k27.

this is pretty sweet. yeah, it's pretty big. and this thing has VERY minimal shaftplay... all i need to do is drill out this bolt.

i had a KKK K26 on my KA-T... fairly fast spooling, a little bit bigger than a t3... mine came off a 944 porsche turbo... very good turbos...and they are a T3 flange fitting turbo... im not sure of the turbo your getting but mine was an external wastegate style...

i have a tial wastegate thats going to be on sale sometime this week... if you need it...PM me..

i have a kkk k27 powered ka-t
that turbo is awesome.
spool up is'nt quick,(not slow either!)
but mid to upper end kicks ass!!!
dyno came up at 226whp and 233lbs. torque
at 5 psi.

Sounds nice cdigity, build your engine and crank up the boost. I wanna see how much quicker you hit boost when running like 15lbs hehe. Yes these German turbos seem preeeetty interesting if I must say. I'm going to consider them when I go turbo (whenever that will be hehe).

wow thas damn good at 5psi!!
i know its aig turbo..it must have really good flow for it to crank that much at only 5 psi..unless u have other work done to the motor internaly.

by the way..how did u obtain a K27??:confused:

[Nerfdude]

they ARE t3 fitting?! SWEET.... i've got my turbo already... and it was free... and apparently isn't crap.... awesome. thx guys. i'll probably have this thing setup by next summer...

[s13silady]

good luck with it! :)

[Muzzy]

damn...u suk!!!:bash:
wish i had that turbo instead of my merkur T3!!
