K26 in '87 5ktq? and ECU

[Beatty, Robert]

Jason, 

I think you might have your K #'s messed up.  The K26 is the OEM turbo for
the 86-90 type 44 or 5000/200.  The K24 was the OEM turbo for the 91 200tq
and for the urS4.  The K26 breathes better at high speeds and therefore you
will have a higher top speed with it.  The K24 has a faster spool up so you
will have less turbo lag.  I believe you can just put one in place of the
other with no problems as far as water and oil connections go.  

As far as the ECU goes you can do the zener no problem.  Or you can contact
Benn Swann as he is offering QLCC chips for the ECU's at a very nice price.

I was at the local yard the other day where I had found an '87 
5ktq...checked out the turbo and it was a K26! This was not stock on the 
'87's was it? How can I check to see if it is worth taking? It will only be 
$30. Also, someone has cut the oil and water lines off of it...will the 
lines on my K24 bolt right on?
Oh yeah, would it be feasible to take the ECU off that car and do the zener 
and resistor mods to it? That way I don't screw up my stock one. Just an 
idea.
Thanks,
Jason
