Flow Map for a K24 turbo???

[Rick_Eberle]

Hi there,

I just picked up a KKK K24-6082 turbo off an '82 1.6 Golf TDi...

I'm trying to figure out if it's actually useful or not for giving me a little extra kick in an aircooled project.

Does anyone have a flow map for this turbo, or any other info on it???

Thanks,

hey mate. the k24 is similar in performance to the much more common garrett T3. quite big really, i would think too big for you, unless your going bigger than 2l and planning plenty of boost at high revs.

i think i might have seen a k24 turbo map around before, might have been somewhere on the www.vwdiesel.net forum - look in the FAQ section in a thread called something like "technical info, lots of turbo maps".

good luck,

PS - if you find that the k24 is too big, i'd love to swap you for a k14, which is about the same size as a k03 or garret T2 - much more appropriate for a small petrol engine. i only play with diesels so the big turbo is attractive.

That sounds like it could work well for both of us... Which version of the K14 do you have???

I didn't find a map for my K24, but I did find one for the Garret that was on the 1.6 TDi, and apparently it's very close.

I'm thinking about a low boost (under 10psi) setup for a VW Type IV 1700. But I'm just tossing ideas around at the moment.

i have the k-14 with the smaller compressor housing, used on a version of the 1.6TD, as opposed to the larger compressor housing one used on the 1.9 TD engines.

the turbo you choose is up to you, but i would go for something on the smaller side since you only wanting low boost and at that capacity, i would say that a small turbo like the k-14 would be ideal - less lag and more than capable to give you the boost well into the high rev range
