ill buy it from ya for 100 bucks

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info
 

good luck on the turbo build Rick.

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info
 

heh, i paid alot more than that for it.
(well traded, but value for value.. i paid alot more than 100) its brand new.. just been sitting in a guys garage for a while so it was tad rusty on turbine housing..

Charlie from Evergreen Turbo in FL told me the KKK 3LDZ flows 450 cfm.. and spools at 3700.. (its older technology) the K28 spools at 3600 and flows 600 cfm

i have both the 3LDZ and now the K28 LOL

I hear those turbines hook up to holset compressors...?

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

hmm not sure on that one.. would be interesting tho

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

Well after talking with Charlie from Evergreen Turbo in FL.. i've learned its actually a K27 turbo with a Garrett compressor wheel custom ground to fit in the KKK k27 compressor housing. i pulled it apart today and emailed him the measurements on the compressor wheel.. he'll tell me what exactly i have :)

either way its WAY too big for what i want to do..

Is it a T3 style flange?

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

yes the turbine inlet flange is t3 style

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

Damn, looks almost identical to my $500 Garrett .57 trim .60 .63. Looks to be a bad ass turbo, good luck with it should make some good power if setup correctly.

Jeff, yeah teg is still getting boosted.. and i'm still waiting for u to sell your car ;) the Hatch will still be waiting when u do..

the turbine housing is like a .83 a/r ... i'm working out a deal with Evergreen turbo.. he's gonna build me a custom turbo for my setup in exchange for this K27

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

wow, thats a damn good deal.

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

well, i have a feeling this turbo is worth a bit, cuz he told me normally he doesnt do straight across trades.. he usually only gives core value for turbos...

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

yea your prob getting ripped off

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... need info (updated with pics)
 

i look at it this way...
its probably worth a bit, BUT.. finding the right buyer WITH money and getting the price out of it that its worth is alot more difficult.. its not like it is a highly desired turbo by us HMT guys... its quite a bit bigger than most of the import guys want (turbine side) and i know theres alot better choices out there for compressor side..

so even though i might be giving it away per say.. i'm getting a custom built turbo in return for it.. i've spent a bit of time on the phone with Charlie at Evergreen Turbo and we've come up with a turbo that will suit my wants and needs and my driving style.
he's going to be fitting a T04 S trim compressor wheel in a T3 compressor housing.. ;) this turbo should get me 300 whp (which is my goal)

i'm not looking for huge WHP numbers.. i'm wanting something streetable, reliable, and plain fun to drive, with very quick throttle response. i may autoX the car.. might put it on the drag strip just to get some numbers.. but i'm not really wanting to have it as a drag car.. its just my daily driver.

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... (which really is a custom K27)
 

you could try selling it on a porsche forum. 951 and 930 guys love both the k27 and the k28

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... (which really is a custom K27)
 

makes sence rick ;D

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... (which really is a custom K27)
 

hondan00b, yeah i've thought about that.. either way, its alot easier for me to do it this way.. no waiting and getting exactly what i want. i got the turbo cheap. so its not like i'm loosing money on the deal.. i'm probably tripling my money as it is.

Re: came across a KKK K28 11RS turbo... (which really is a custom K27)
 

well, i've thought about it all day..
it cant hurt to try and sell it to some porsche guys first..
i pulled it apart today.. its perfect inside..
that residue on the oil port u see in the pic is just where they put some masking tape over it to keep stuff out.

i need to know more about the specs on this to sell it :(

i know some of the specs.. but not enuf.
