    RS2/Nothelle K26 hybrid turbo.

    Very soon the hybrid I had built is going to be surplus to my requirements, for ease I've purchased a K24 7200 as I have some really nice software for my set up and that turbo.

    AET built it 5 five years ago and I've covered around 15K miles with it fitted, it's still in as new condition.

    It consists of,

    Nothelle K26 exhaust turbine and shaft in a machined out K24 hotside housing (50 mm exit), brand new center section with 360 bearing mated to a genuine RS2 cold side back plate and compressor wheel with a K26 housing machined to suit.

    It's a cracking little turbo but really needs a custom map or Vems to make the most of it safely. Though I can say I ran it on stock 3B software with RS2 injectors and an original 3B three bar fuel pressure regulator for quite a while and was very happy with how it went. I'm not saying this is in anyway a good or scientific approach or set up. I mainly fitted the RS2 injectors to checked they worked but she was also running a little lean with 3B injectors, the AFR's with RS2 items were much better so I left it like it for the best part of 10K miles as it ran really nicely. Really that should only be considered a temporary option, at least it's allows for some shake down time before a mapping session.

    I have been running it with full RS2 software and it hit's 1.9 bar just fine, however I reckon I'm pushing my luck a little hence the K24 7200 purchase.

    Pic's to follow very soon as it's coming off the car tomorrow.

    Comes with AET paperwork.

    To satisfy forum rule's-

                I know I'm a lucky fecker! I'm so use to having it I take the pit for granted, beats axle stands and laying on your back cramped up swearing. However give me a good two poster any day, no matter how well one plans with a pit there's a lot of crawling out and back in to get tools ect, with a ramp one just walks to ones tool box.

                Really glad my old hybrid is going to be put to good use on an ABY, mapped correctly I'm sure that turbo will give impressive results. I spent a long time on the phone with Grant at AET weighing up my options before deciding on that spec, he assured me it'll perform very like a K24 7200 but with less lag and obviously a little less outright grunt.

                Wish it was easier to get a 3B mapped properly in the UK otherwise I would have stuck with it as it would enable me to keep a little more of the Nothelle conversion, all that's left now is the Brian Rickets (signed) flowed head, blue printed engine and Alcon brakes which are sat on a shelf, I REALLY MUST get them fitted now!
