Anyone know about kkk turbo off of mercedes

[chrisesteschiro]

Anyone know anything about kkk turbo's off of 80's mercedes 300d? There are a couple good ones at the yard and was wondering if they were worth pullin for my m20b25. Also what flange setup are they? Thanks

i deff want to know the same tihng. My dad has a '91 350 SDL that is not long for this world and i want the turbo off of it. But i am unsure of how well it will work wiht a m20

You can also get them on any of the 1.8l turbo vw's/ Jetta, GTi, and so on.

i am new to the turbo scene, i just bought my e30 a couple months ago. The guy i bought it from already had a turbo running on the car and he told me he got the turbo from an old 300d benz in a junk yard. Its great and i am told(from my buddies experienced with turbos) that it spools up great for the car. I have an eta though, but i am sure it would be fine for an I motor.

If anyone has seen the turbo off a 1.8t, it's tiny. Literally you might be able to fit 2 fingers in there, there is a reason they spool at about 1500rpm on the 20v 1.8t (my brothers audi's boost is right there.)

This is a bad idea for a 2.7L or 2.5 engine, because it will most likely run out of power at a really low rpm. Try and find a bigger turbo, if you want to run small turbos run twin IHI vj21's.

the kkk's on the mercs are different tho im pretty sure. you'd def not wanna run a k03 from a vw. as for that turbo id have no clue what flange they are, kkk's do there own thing.

it is a small turbo good for only around 280ish HP and thats at maximum efficiency, which means short turbo life. an ideally sized turbo for our engines would be a 50mm and up. a 50 trim would spool very quickly and is good for 350 at the wheels without running it at maximum efficiency. it all depends on the tune/ fuel distribution. the moral is do lots of research and learn as much as you can about turbo charging before making a desicion.
