What sort of power can a k26 turbo produce?

[jordan jt]

hi guys hopefully will be getting my ep82 mapped soon, im running a fully forged 4e, emu, 440cc injectors with all supporting mods etc. will be running 1.5 bar, believe the k26 can handle more, if any could confirm this? question is has anyone had a similar sort of set up so i can gauge what sort of power i can hope to make. thanks in advance, Jordan.

Seen similar set ups with well over 250bhp iirc a few of them were under the that sorta boost level, im sure youll see a close to 270

im pretty sure the k26 will boost to 2 bar mate should make 300 brake no problem

Surely you wouldn't be able to run 2 bar through a starlet? What would be reliable? 1.6 1.7 bar?

I wouldn't even call 1.6 bar reliable lol

mattglanza was running 1.5 (i think) and it was over 300bhp

I ran 1.5 @335 bhp

Not with a K26 turbo though Matt....

270hp would be about right at 1.5 bar i wouldn't want to push more than that but only real way to tell is get it on the rollers and see what intake temps you get.

Yeah sorry i was meaning more on the reliability side of things

It's how efficiant the turbo is at those sort of boost pressures once out of the efficancy window the turbo is just a heat pump getting the intake charge hotter and hotter

And thats where power is made or lost

Cheers for the help lads.

It's being mapped on the rollers so I'll see what the tuner thinks is best. I'll let you the outcome once it's mapped
