Anyone have one they willing to sell or can help me find some place to make one?

Thanks

 

I haven't measured it, but I have a K26 at work and the flange looks REMARKABLY close to a T3 flange... you may be able to just have a standard T3/T4 flanged manifold modified slightly to work. Worth a shot anyway.

 

haha no ****.! i got the same turbo! and looking for a mani also.

the bolt holes are 4cm center to center and 8cm center to center

can someone measure a T3 flange for us

 

ok heres a pic. cause most people have no idea what my measurements are lol

Hm, where would you go to have your manifold made?

 

i am going to use an HF manifold and make it fit!

nothing dares to **** with me and my ghetto rigging mind.

 

That turbine housing could use a little cleaning.

 

does anyone know where to get KKK turbo's??? they are the best turbo's in the world hands down....

 

Lol Shortyz to bad you're in canada or we could blow both our engines side by side with these!

 

I got mine from a wrecked porsche 944 in a junk yard when I went on a salvaging quest for window motors for school (don't ask) I saw the porsche and almost everything had been pulled but the exhaust manifold/turbo. What sucks is I also need to get a fuel management unit and injectors for this and I'm not sure what ones to use.
So if anyone can help me out there

 

yep. i got mine for 30$ at the junkyard.

pretty big.

i gotta go track down some oil lines and fittings and a home made boost controller. ill keep up on this post

 

Hi all, is the K26 turbo pretty good? I found one at the local yard. It spins very smooth, better the than my Mitsubishi TD04. Should I keep my TD04 turbo or go w/ K26?

 

Um yea, it's not that simple. How do you want your power-band to look like?

 

i'm gonna be doing my first turbo setup on my friends EF and he bought of my buddie the KKK turbo that was on a 1.8L turbo golf.

The turbo looks really good.

 

shortyz - on my T3 manifold - I measured 8.5cm x 4.5 cm.

 

The bolt holes are the same as a t3 flange. The problem with most of those turbos is the recessed area that is on the turbo flange. I did a custom kit on an Eclipse and i had to weld it up flat and then took it to a machine shop to be resurfaced..

 

BTW porsche 911s at one time came with a K26 or K27 turbo.

 

yep
i got a turbo map here for the k26 and i mapped out how my motor would spool it.
it wont be fast but the high end looks promising.
3000 rpm itll spool.

i wish i had a scanner i have it all plotted out

also. the one out of the posrche has a differant exhaust side trim (trim right?) on the porsche it will spool more around 4000 rpm. but it pushes boost great.

I'm afraid you are talking about volvo turbos. They have a t3 flange with a round recess.

The T3 flange is 86mm x 45 mm between the boltholes.

 

The K26 turbos also have the same depression. I am very familiar with the volvo ones and you are correct. This turbo also had the same flange and it was a K26. Either way jsut weld it up, resurface, and it will fit a t3 perfectly.

 

i know the recess your talking about. but. why would that make a difference in how it mounts to the plate?
