Anyone use a KX400 or KX500 turbo?

[Sonic]

Lloyd that reminds me we need to do that comparison when everything is running right!

[Rusty]

Which is better, a KX500 or hoffer hybrid?... There's only one way to find out... FIGHT!!!

[Rocco]

Sonics turbo seems to be a bit bigger than 26/27 true?

[Rusty]

Yes, KX500 gives ~10% more power FWIR.

[Sonic]

Yeah, i mean as for better... cost vs ease of installation vs power/lag.

The KX500 is obviously more expensive than a k26/27 hybrid, but isn't any more complicated to fit as its k26 also (that said i did fit the Roose MAF and turbo-wager IC hoses), it has more torque/hp/boost and not much lag to pay for it.

The question really is how much better is a KX500 than a k26/27 hybrid

[Rusty]

Well from the turboservice nomenclature... 100bhp

Are you running a Wagner Evo with T3 or K26 flange... or other? (I could look on your thread but at 1k+ replies, I can't be bothered )

[Sonic]

Yeah a k26 wagner evo.

[Rusty]

Damn this forum and all who populate it

Luckily, I have a stock 3B clutch to limit my ambitions at the moment

Have you looked at Southbend? I rate mine highly

[Rusty]

Hardly, just costing up a solution to the problems on the car at the moment...

I'm sure Southbend is lovely but swapping the clutch isn't th nicest job in the world...

[Rocco]
