pair of kkk16 turbochargers any good on a RV8?

Post by **Coops** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 11:21 pm

as above, are they any good on a RV8 if used as a pair for a twin set up?
just thinking aloud as a friend has a pair possibly,
in good condition no wear,

From what I can tell they are relatively 'small' turbos used on e.g. 2 litre engines etc. Speak to Regal Motorsport - they seem to have fitted them to a few C20LET vaux engines, so I'm guessing they should have enough go if you use two of them on a 3.9RV8.

I was watching a single turbo kit on ebay recently but it vanished for some reason. I'm trying to find a single turbo set of exhaust manifolds so I can try my huge single turbo at some point!

can you get the compressor map for them?

eta;
found it here:
http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/engines- ... r-map.html

But need to convert into lbs or cfm - would do, but its curry night and i'm off out in a second!

Some guy asked me how to size twins for a 3.9 on my pages, have a read and you can learn how to plot compressor maps.

Having a few issues with my webhost at the moment. They seem to think it's acceptable to reduce my bandwidth in favour of others.

The site is still there but sometimes difficult to access.
