I've now covered about 1000km, (600miles), on my tubocharged K100 16v. I'm pleased to say that there haven't been any major niggles and all the doubts about the negatives of draw-through turbos have been, in my opinion, exaggerated!
The increase in performance was tailored for mid-range acceleration and the small T25 has provided this faultlessly, but........I've now got used to it so a bit more is called for.
The bike is slowly coming apart again, I've sourced a T3 compressor wheel and housing which will be fitted to the T25 to give a T28 type hybrid.
The T3 conversion will deliver in excess of 180bhp at 1 bar pressure, so no need to uprate this side of the turbo in the future. (Forged lower compression pistons will be needed to release this level of power safely).
I looking for a more freely flowing turbine housing to go with the T3 as well.
I'm hoping the next stage of modifications will give a further 20-25 bhp using the existing 7psi
of boost, which should give around 155-160bhp at the rear wheel.
Should be interesting!
