What is this? A Triple-K K22????

[Mihnea Cotet]

Hi all!


Does any of you have any information on this K27 turbo? It is a K27 from a
turbo diesel truck engine, supposedly Daimler-Benz. The numbers on it are:
K27-422-1, 5327 970 6425. I guess according to triple K's numbering system
it has a 2764 compressor but what does this mean in terms of air flow? The
turbine housing is a 6 or 8 bolt type to the DP and the manifold flange is
I suppose like a SQ turbo or a Garrett though I'm not sure if the bolt
pattern is the same on Garretts and big triple Ks....

I got it brand new on Ebay for 180 Euros and I'm expecting reception soon,
I hope I'll be able to do something with it, does anyone know if the cold
side is supposed to be able to be bolted up to a MC-1 K26 hot side?

Anyway, thanks for any input/thoughts about this turbo,


Mihnea
