having trouble picking a turbo
 

I have two turbos, a 14b and a kkk k-26. Im running a d16 and i was wondering which one would work best with the motor at about 13psi. I know that the kkk k-26 is supposed to mimic a t-25 hot side but im just unsure as to which would be better to use.

t3 48/60

I like my 14b on my tprc with the d16, it works just like I planned.

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

14b

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

why the ---- would you say that !! it wasnt one of the options you ------- retard !!!! ---- !!




i think the 14b is the best sohc turbo there is :y

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

your crazy phill, but def the better of the two options :D

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

you've never owned a sohc or a 14b how would you know ? ^-^

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

What are your goals?? Powerwise, not pressure wise.

But yes, i would got with a 14b probably.

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

14B because they're cheap and easy to install and can handle quite a bit. 14b's have their issues like a bad exhaust housing design and a tendency to coke up heavily, but they're made to last at least 100k at 10-15psi. Of course there are better turbos available, but between the 2 given it's 14b all the way unless the K26 is significantly bigger, but who the ---- knows about a KKK turbo bwahaha?

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

The K26 is 53/47

lol fooooooool :D

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

AFAIK there are several different compressors used in a K26.

Here is one map though.

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

Well that pretty much sums it up. A 14b is the better choice out of the 2 for a D. Both would be fine though, but 14b easier and you can switch to any Mitsu flanged turbo after you have your car set-up for a DSM turbo. That means 16g, 18g, 20g and all the other Mitsu/Garretts like the ever popular PTE 50 trim.

Im not a bitchasscracker but I am a noob, and from expierence and noobness t3 was easy for me... and telling by how hes a noob and im a noob and I have a d16 and he has a d16 and we both want to turbo our cars and I chose t3 and so far its made me happy why not throw out the opinion of considering a fuckn t3... Is that ok for you bitchasscracker?

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

no because he said which one of these two turbo's and you smutter off some retardedness of a turbo not listed




that like taking a multiple choice test a, b, or c and answering R

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

During multiple choice test I have more than once gone up to a teacher and told them that the questions is incorrect, outdated, or none of the answers fit the question and heres an answer i feel best fits. All of which are correct in their opinion if your willing to justifiy your answer. :6

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

Thanks for all of your guys imput. My power goal is 220-230, just enough to keep me happy for a daily. I think i will stick with the 14b.

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

220-230 if thats on a stock motor your about 20 - 30 hp over the recommended max of 200hp on stock motor.

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

many people have pushed the sohc to 230hp

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

Just because people can get 230hp out of a stock motor doesnt mean it will last or if its reliable. I believe he wants the ability to drive it around and not just to the track. :6

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

just curious, is that at the wheels or crank?

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

Who the hell shat in you boy's oatmeal? :3

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

i have vitara pistons on scat rods. so i should be ok for 230hp

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

Uh you should be ok for 400+ whp

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

Yeah, but with a 14b he won't make near that. I know what you're saying though. I think 200-250whp range is perfect for that 14b and with a lower end that's assured stout he'll have a fun street car. It'll beat or hold its own against a lot of the other tuner cars out there. It'll be a boosted car which beats NA at least on small displacement 4 bangers. Hello torque OMGHI2U! The funnest cars aren't always the most powerful IMO. Something that excites during WOT and is still decently reliable is great too.

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

And that is why I like my t3 flange.... I can bolt on just about any t3 setup I want

Re: having trouble picking a turbo
 

better, would be to ditch the turd and buy the rest of the audi 5000s it most likely came from.




14b ftw
