[urq] Re: 10 vT EM?

[Jukka Majanen]

Hi

I did not made mine myself like J did. Just heard about
those Porvoo EM:s that have been better than IMSA-
series-so I asked my friend to ask an EM for me. The
manufacturer promised an extra one for me. All his
EM:s get to many European Audi-teams. Now 10 years
without cracks. Material is 52 for flanges and 37 for
tubes = cheap

But I´m answering only for my one, because J does not
actually have a collector, but 5 runners joined and mine
has a "long" tube where they join...Just for velocity...

You also wrote to J:

Please, I would like to disagree and ask:

1: What is big K-24 cold side?
2. You say: not a big difference btw RS-2 and K-24 hot side?

RS2 has 55 mm turbine dia at exducer and K-24 46 mm, IMHO
it is a big difference. ( 45 mm is for 200-250 HP and 55 for
250-350 HP ) . IMO K-24 cold side is good for some 300 HP )

Those small ones work, but with lots of backpressure and not
too smooth.

What You want the engine do: blow the motor or flow the gas :))))

An original 24 cold side is about 43mm, but there is no good
variations, so the K-26 is a good solution. Here we have seen it
with 50 compressor/ 55 turbine K-26 as a good one ( RS-2 has a
K-? with 48/55 ) also a hybrid with K-27´s smallest compressor
( 53 ) has been succesful. All later 26:s seem to have 55 turbine.
( I´m now working with a Bimmer 745i with stock 64/53 K-27 )

Thanks

Jukka

I started this thread, just to get some other ideas, than mine for a
fiver project, but looks like we are "quite" far away;))

Gotta leave the list, I wish all good to You Audifans.
