high boost Kl shopping list
Posted: October 9th, 2003, 9:44 am
Hi! due to a radiator breaking, I had my poor turbocharged K8 heads warped, and as I have purchased a Kl engine in order to beef it up, I decided to stop throwing money on the little 8. I had done a quite good business and I'am lucky now to have 3000€ to spend on the engine!!!!
The setup I´m working on is with 6 additional injectors, the way that Mici from Mx-6.com and Victor Pavolets from Probetalk had gone. I think it´s easier to tune up than a Stand Alone, as you have to set only the specs when under boost, so no boost=stock driveability. For controlling those injectors I opted by the additional ECU that 034 efi has. It looks quite simply to tune, and Victor Pav. gets 330 HP from his turbocharged Kl with this system!!! and really good price! (300$)
I had purchased a engine rebuild kit from import performance www.importperformancenet.com in order to refresh the new engine , and as I will install aftermarket pistons, i took the re-ring kit, wich includes everything needed but without the pistons themselves,and a new oil and water pumps. I also purchased a set of Pauter Rods with Toga high performance bearings. The clutch will be a ACT clutch, but for now I am searching for the best deal. Now I´m comparing and searching for the best piston deal. I have found that ross has them and that also JE has done some custom units, but nobody wants to say anything about it, so I talked to Ross and I´m waiting for the final price.
The turbo setup will be nearly the same I was using, the stock Y-pipe modified with a T3-T4 attached to it and the new improvement that I am actually building is a Water to air intercooler!
I will post pics of everything, but now I will have a pair of weeks to relax myself (lot of work man!) and start working as soon as the parts will be arriving. keep you updated!!!!
