If this works it might tempt me to use it to run my zt t series. I would really be interested in what you've done to the k for it to withstand 350bhp - how about a thread on it?
Also, pm for you.
Hi bud

I've had my K turbo completely rebuilt from scratch using the usual balanced forged comments, VVC head with the goodies like custom piper cams, bigger injectors etc.

The real thing when it comes to the K series is the map and Mems3 just doesn't give you the absolute control to really tweak everything. This is how you get big power safely. There's a chap who's taken a standard K turbo to 350bhp+ in his Elise via an Emerald set up and I'll be working with him to do the same on mine.

However, I'll have three maps - a safe and daily 300bhp... and then a ballsy 350 and 380 just because. However, nothing is certain until the dyno prints in.

I did have a build thread but I kinda let it slip as I recently moved house and am refurbishing it.
Maybe I'll kick it off again.

Cheers

PS. Your inbox is full

Thanks for the name mate - I'll pop him a PM and see if he's interested.

Cheers
