[s-cars] Samco Hose Group Buy

[Lewis, Gary M]

Boeing in Los Angeles.  I work in the beautiful San Fernando Valley (hiccup...)...

Take it easy on the K24.  I ran around with mine in for a few weeks mit der 26psi Komputor, and like you, 'more or less' kept my foot of it, and the turbine ended up hitting the exhaust casting from an overspin condition (crunch).

I haven't tested it yet, but I like the idea of the hybrid(s) I'm working on.  Bullet proof KKK reliability, great spool up, and the hp figures will be based on the hot side, not the cold side psi MAX, which seems to forget that hp is based on psi AND density.  I think the K27 cold-side is too large for the K26-6 hotside, and just fine for a K26-8 hotside, except the K27/K26-8 combination is too big IMHO for a 2.2 liter car that will see extended street driving.  Great density (You could probably run lower boost and get more hp than the K27/K26-6), but the spool-ups may be too long (read: High RPMs necessary).  But having no direct experience, all I can offer is an opinion.

Gary lists:

with an email domain of boeing.com. Is this Boeing as in Seattle?

If so, there's another one of these "beasts" coming online very soon.
My 95.5 Avant is similarly equipped, but with black interior. (If you
see WA plate "GETTER", it's mine.)

The engine differences on mine will be: new head, K26/K27 turbo,
7A exh cam, lifters and Stroming exhaust - all of the other RS2 bits
are installed. Because I'm still waiting for the downpipe, we have
installed everything except the turbo. I'm still running the K24 turbo
and am noticing that it spins up much faster. I'm keeping my foot out
of it somewhat to keep from overspinning the itty bitty turbo, but it
really zips from 3K - 4K RPM. (much more so than before)

Would this be due mostly to the exhaust cam?

Suspension upgrades: new bushings and tie rod ends (thank the big reds
for pointing up the need for these), 2B camber plates (turn in? wow!
and appears to eliminate some tramlining as well), Bilsteins w/ H&R
springs.
