Ultimate Motorwerks new K24 HyFlow turbocharger

Kevin -- I am with BuddyG and Rafiki( very sensible Aussie!) here. Please do not take offense at the questions- because none is intended.Your work and contribution here is tremendous to helping many interested parties understand more and your expertise I do not believe is being questioned. What I can say-- you have a clear idea of what you have-- but it would be helpfull to lay that out .Perhaps a list eg Stock Ki6 = ? HP
Stock K16 with ??? == ?HP
16ZC=?? ETC ETC
To outline what you have in the variations of turbos and brief outline of what else is modified to achieve etc. I do not want to expose you to a debate in this-- more to understand the progression of your turbos and their abilities ( and your packages)
In relation to 993 T - apart from fitting- do the same spec turbos apply and what would the difference be in end HP expectancy?

Red9 I don't have stock K16.. While I have Z/C'd stock K16's and K24's for a few race teams, a step up to a higher output turbochargers would be "better"
If it is still confusing to you guys.. Call me and talk to me.. 360.805-9066

Kevin, it would be very cool to see a spreadsheet posted with the following column headings:
Turbo Name....Compressor & Mods....Turbine & Mods...ZC'd...Characteristics...Other Comments
Comments/Characterestics that included things like: efficiency range, Boost Onset RPM, MAX Crank RPM (to stay within efficiency range) etc would be very interesting and informative. As brilliant as I am I'm finding it difficult to keep straight much longer than the time it takes me to read your explanation. It would be great to see some stock K16 & 24s thrown in there along with some K26s and event a GT28 and GT30 . This is starting to sound like a lot to ask for, and will more than likely cause the few PMS'ers to get a little cranky (but what's new). None the less I think it would be a valuable compilation of information that few would be capable of tackling.

Zippy, basically you are asking my to hand over the golden keys to a successful turbocharger design.. First off, what is the HP goal.. You need a target before you design a turbocharger.. Once you have those goals, you have to find out what your engine RPM is, and what is the purpose or use of the car/engine.. Do you have a drag car, track car or street car... All requiring different turbocharger designs.
Our engines are a big air pump, we find the requirements from 1000 RPM's and graph it to our engine redline.. For instance, the GT28 turbine wheel is "Smaller" than a K16 turbine wheel.. However, by design it has a larger compressor wheel.. Infact it's larger than most K24 compressor wheels..
While finding the correct turbine wheel size is key, one will then have to spend enough time machining and flowing the turbine housings.
Finding all the wheel sizes and specs is just half of the equation.. And then once you have it.. How are you going to tune it.. Or have enough Fuel or large enough injector. Then what do you do about your MAF.. Once you start building the hybrid turbochargers it is very easy to max out all the system components.

Kevin, I think the general opinion is your technology and design options are moving faster than your website updates. Which is great….it shows you focus your efforts at the HP end of your business rather than the marketing end. I am sure the guys are asking for a straight forward update on the packages and options available.

Guys..you just don't get it? Call Kevin...he will find out what you want and question you on what you want....then explain the options...this is what he does (and does it well). You are looking for some cookbook answer and Kevin wants to build something specifically for you. Why do you keep asking for this listing like a grocery store...As he has already said, call him.

Do any of you guys own a phone? If not use VOIP...call Kevin, he will be more than happy to discuss options specifically for your car. That is what he does...he is not Walmart. This is what makes his service so special. He will really get you to what YOU want. STOP asking for generic information...please.
