k27 7200, any use?

[Animal Mother]

I've been offered a K27 7200, can I do anything with this on my UrS6?

I have zero turbo technical knowledge.

[UrS4boy]

Lag Monster. Wrong flange.

Cheers.

No point fitting K27 cold side to K24 hot side? Or am I talking balcocks?

[BRY]

The latter

@ BRY

i think its as simple as RS2 unit from KKK or one of the Garrats....

[Billman]

I dont think tha tthere is a K27 7200. Do you mean K24 7200 (RS2 Turbo?)

If so, have a read of this thread, #51.

Yep there is.

[Jamo]

Yep there is.

LMAO

So you've taken the random numbers from the plate and put two together? when the number of the turbo is k27-3072

This has to be the funniest post I've read in ages

no need to take the piss and try and belittle people who openly say thay are not sure.

there was once and still will be days we are all not sure.

go for a garret based turbo. if you want a kkk based easy bolt-on then get a kkk flanged GT. otherwise save a few quid and go non BB. if you need a contact let em know

Cheers for that.

Guess that this guy is wrong too as it is where I got the info and pics from. Plus this google search doesn't bring up many K27 7200 hits, honestly!

I think all of the "experts" on this forum are great!

If it’s from a 930 it won’t be a great at all, because the Porsche engine was air cooled they ran an oversize turbo rather gently to keep the temps down. Lots of lag, even with a 3.0 engine it had lots of lag. Best suited to hairy chested drivers from the 80's.

It’s also a dinosaur vs the garret stuff everybody’s fitting these days.

I was given the links to these by another forum memeber, hope they help you aminal mother..

I think that is a Porker number alright and if its K27 then yes it will be too laggy here. LOL at mcandmar 80s comment - brilliant.

I still say the best bolt-on turbo for the I5 is the RS2 item - it remains this day, the only turbo specifically designed for that engine so it does a fine job at the compromises between low-end tractability and max boost performance. True with factory ECU programming it is somewhat laggy and has on/off character but that can be greatly reduced with better software.

The newer generation of Garrett BB turbos are mindblowingly good it must be said - with even less lag and better top-end when properly setup. However they aren't true bolt-on due to the different oil, water and flange fitments - unless you get from a source that uses the KKK centre and has the right adapters for flanges etc. Ok I'm wavering here now, but if an RS2 turbo comes your way at the right price then go for it.
