Hi guys. I've been offered a new turbo but I'm having a little trouble identifying it, can you help ?

From the guys inof it's a K27 ? But he doesn't really know much more about it, so I need some info from the Turbo gods on here. What size is it, what size hotside, what spec/tune of engine it'd be suited to for a 951 etc. will it fit on a stock car setup or would I need to go MAF etc. etc.

Identifying it would be a start anyway, so here goes . . . . . . . .

















Sorry for so many pics guys, I just wanted to make sure you had all the info in case there was a signifcant marking on one which solves my mystery.

Thanks in advance for any help, there may be a second available once I know what it is and sort out a price.

Cheers,

Mike

check inside the hot side for an A/r numer . it does look a shade on the big side for a standard averything car i would say exhaust injectors and maf its worth 1 to 400 bucks looks brand new . you will probaly be able to swap it for a Cheater type k26/k27 6 or 8 wich is more suitable for a standard car with some one who has MAF and exhuast

Well, I say standard, perhaps I spoke to quickly. My car actually has a chipset, induction kit, exhaust and a boost enhancer. Very soon to be going to 3 bar fpr, maybe injectors (if needed), dual port wastegate and boost control (either mechanical or poss electronic).

Unfortunately I don't have access to the turbo right now, so I'm dealing with someone remotely trying to get me the info.

Is it a K27 like the guy thinks ?
Will it fit my car ?
Would I need a MAF setup or will that just enable me to get the best out of it ?
Can anyone identify the hotside from the dimensions shown ?

Cheers guys, do appreciate the help.

Can you write the measurements that you've taken Mike?

i thought i was lazy pat read the verniar 80comp OD 53inducer 64 exducer
genrally bey the size ratio oonthe comp wheel it is good for 30 psi

So what number hot side does that equate to guys ?

From doing some reading on here (I'm trying, but my knowledge of turbos's is lacking at the moment - not had the car too long, so I'm just learning about forced induction really (quickly lol)) a K27/7 or K27/8 would be reasonable for me (providing the price was right) I'm well aware there will be much better turbo's out there, but I'm just looking that this could be a reasonable cost upgrade from my standard 26/6. Decent performance increase without smashing my piggy bank.

Cheers guys.

GT37vgt, do you think it'd be suitable for my application ? Was your valuation in Aus$ or US$ ? (either way I'd have to convert it to UK £ haha)

Big thanks, hopefully this may be a go project !

well i kind of meant either dollar because i was relating the turbo to the market it lives in .
so i paid 300au shipped for an almost identical turbo but not as new .

pros of this turbo are bolt in not easy install on many other cars wich tends to make them cheaper big enough to captilaise on future upgrades . 400 or so hp

Cons are "apparently " not as technically advanced as other stuff a tiny bit big for standard AFM.

run a search on this forum K27 you will find plenty of happy people .
