Thread: Turbo to intake sizing and exhaust sizing

Thanks Dougal. I'll keep your link in mind. Probably more $$ than I can justify being that I already have a working turbo I haven't used yet (apart from the drive home from buying the vehicle). But I do like having options!!

Would you consider a cheap Chinese one? Or is it just too unknown? It appears no-name from what I can see?

Kinugawa are as far as I know quality japanese parts. I have no problem with chinese turbos. I run chinese rebuild kits in two of my turbos. But it's more about a reputable seller and product. There are horror stories out there.

Has anyone tried or have any experience with these, or the IHI,s?
I was thinking it would not need a adapter but may be to big for a rover engine bay? If they fit ok why arnt others using them?
They dont list any detailed info about them on their page, if they are standard are others using them, and happy with them.
Cheers

That's an MHI which is used on the industrial engines. If you want to run at 1800rpm and 9psi boost all day it'll be great. Otherwise it's not a good choice.

Instead of playing 20 questions on ebay turbos. Have a read of this thread:

Have read that post a few times and tried to make sense of it. Sorry but it might as well be in french for me.
The link you provided sounds great to me, all I needed was a hint in what will actually work with out trying to build a drag car. [URL="http:// Turbocharger Kinugawa TD04HL 19T T25 Flange w Kit 200 280HP Fit 1 6 2 5L | eBay"]
Will be ordering one after I get back from next trek.

Essentially, the performance turbos I have picked are the best turbos for low performance too.
They spool early, produce lots of boost at low rpm for maximum torque and don't run out up high.

Whether you want a mild tune or to remove the fuel screw completely, they will work.

Hi Dougal did you look at the KKK27 turbo as an option for the isuzu engine I think they where on 940 Volvos and possibly Porsche motors. Just wonder you thoughts on suitability.

The compressor is too big. So you'll either have a lot less low end boost than you should or if you try to make it boost more down low it'll surge.
