Hey GeeWithout cam's, headwork etc?
Nick,
What are your thoughts on the TD04L at max efficency vs K24 at max efficency? I never got a ride in Ben's K24 so never managed to experience that turbo
Last time we spoke, you said you were not going to boost the TD04L to 1.4bar due to your theory about the standard headbolts lifting.
What changed?
Thanks for the questions buddy, well 1.4bar on the TD04 against the K24 at max efficency, The K24 hits full boost alot faster, and the midrange torque is stronger from the K24 imo but top end power it looses out, i never got up against ben at 1.4bar but both turbos are fantastic in there own way, the TD04 would pull past the K24 at the topend but low down you would struggle to touch the K24.
Depending on what you want the car for then you can choose the turbo, drag racing probably the TD04 for all out BHP but trackwork i would say the K24 has the edge.
Thats just my opinion on both turbo's.
As for speaking to me about the stock headbolts, well the engine felt extremely strong and haven't had any issues so decided to test how far they could go, been upto 1.4bar so far but we will be pushing it further possbily, with the intake temps i was getting i believe the TD04 can go past 1.4bar and still create extra power worth the extra boost.
