[hoffer76]

Turbos arriving next few days:

rs2 recon with 360 bearing, £600
rs2 k26 hybrid with 360 bearing £550
kkk26/27 with 360 bearing £500
one more unconfirmed spec been told its something extra special.

I will post pics as soon as possible

Thanks

[Rocco]

and these turbos are complete rebuild and non used??

[hoffer76]

Yes Rocco complete rebuild ready to fit.

[quattrostyle]

so the hybrid RS2 is also a reconditioned example? If yes why is it cheaper than the RS2 unit?

[hoffer76]

The guy who builds them charges more for standard rs2 as some of components
to rebuild standard unit are more expensive than the hybrids strangely enough.
If any body can advice me if that's true or not it's something I can take up with
re builder.

Thanks in advance

[hoffer76]

also kkk26/27 are only £500 as he has around 30 units sat ready for rebuild.

[quattrostyle]

yeah noticed that aswell, but first I thought the hybrid and kkk26/27 ones were not reconditioned as you didn't mention in the first post.

Which one would you prefer?

[Rocco]

and wich it is the advantage of the 360º bearing?? more power??? more reliability??

wich bearing has the original k24 7200??

[quattrostyle]

faster spool up

[hoffer76]

Really hard choice for me between rs hybrid and k26/27 hybrid not managed to push
k26 to anywhere near it's limits and the sound is truly amazing both turbos seem to
spool much quicker than the standard rs2 unit.
My own engine is in bits having rods installed then I can push the k26/27 a little more
I think that might make my mind up.

[quattrostyle]

now go get that engine running then

[Rocco]

faster spool up

and then,if spool up faster for the same topend power,would be "worse" for the people who has the stock originals internals...talking about Rods,Rod bearings... yes or no??


nice turbos for a nice price if all are recently rebuild and "new" with the 360 bearing

[hoffer76]

would be bad for rods if mapped incorrectly. not had any problems running any
of these turbos on standard internals with 390 bhp high boost rs2 chips.

Any info on the special turbo

[quattrostyle]

did some measuring on an original S2 turbo and the RS2 hybrid:

Hot side S2: 45 mm.
Hot side RS2 hybrid: 56 mm.

So that is quite a difference, however the cold side isn't.

Cold side S2: 47 mm.
Cold side RS2 hybrid: 48 mm.

Could you do some measuring on the kkk26/27?
