In this video I show some performance upgrades and improvements that can be made on the KKK K24 turbo. These turbos are found on Volvo S60R, V70R, S80, Audi S, VW and they have been fitted on Honda's. If you have one rebuilt with the improvements, it will be like the K24's revenge. The KKK (Kühnle Kopp & Kausch) is a division of BorgWarner since 1997. At any rate, it is a good turbo and can be even better with a few upgrades.

Swapping my 850 platinum from a 16t to a k24 was the best engine modification I've ever done. Coupled with the bosch green injectors, 4bar fpr, Forge cpv and wastegate, snabb intake and fmic and a tune by Va5t she not only pulls like a jet on takeoff but gets about 30mpg cruising on the interstate.

Hey Robert - I'm always stoked to see one of your videos pop up when I do a search. Thanks for the great info, especially that you'd recommend not rebuilding these things yourself. I see all sorts of kits out there but also read that there is some balancing that is recommended and that seemed like something for a pro shop. When you said it's one of the things you leave to the pros, that sealed the deal for me too. Thanks again!

Thanks for bringing this information forward. I have 2 P80 Turbos that have 200,000 miles on them. They seem to be performing well, but I am going to seriously look into them being rebuilt with the upgrades. Thanks for sharing your Volvo knowledge. The old professor.

Hey Robert what is the contact info for A1 turbos?
Great video bud. I was considering turbo upgrades for my xc70. Currently got the low comp. It broke my heart, the local junkyard had a t5 s60 I was going to grab the turbo out of that. Cause cheap and easy. They crushed it before I could get it. 😂 Now keep my eye out for k24. We will ee what fate brings. Robertdiy Keep on creating!

Hi Robert! Another problem these old turbos can create is engine oil consumption, before rebuilding mine I got the inter cooler pipes full of oil and it was burning about 1L\1000 km, no shaft play at all, just a leaky seal. These oil leaks are specially dangerous on diesel engines, if the engine starts to feed on the oil coming from the turbo then you can end up with an engine runaway. Remember guys, look after your turbos!

Disconnect fuel and crank the engine until the oil pressure light goes out.
i've heard when it comes to tuning though the 19t flows better than the k24 and has the potential to make more power but has had the reputation of bending rods if the tune isn't 100% spot. I know for a fact though the 19t is easier to buy and install on these p80/p2 volvos unless you are able to obtain a k24 from a junkyard.
@diltzm

I'm not sure who told you that but they are incorrect. The K24 flows ~100cfm more than a 19t. If you search the forums you can find the exact numbers and comparisons between a 18t, 19t, and K24.

Not sure what "flows better" means but the K24 produces more power that's why people switch to it.
The Audi 200s (20v Turbo), 1992-1995.5 S4/S6 came with the K24-7000. The Audi RS2 came with the K24-7200. The Volvo S60R & V70R came with the K24-7400. Curious - did the S60 really come with a k24 turbo? Can't seem to find the info on the interwebs.

Depends on how bad I need one and how much money I have. LKQ sells them for $225 shipped and will give you back $$$ of you return any turbo to them. You need more than just the turbo for the N cars. I'll post a link on my website, the video is in my Patreon site.

No sir. I don't even know what kind of car you have.
What kind of PSI gains can one expect by upgrading the turbines on a 16T? Namely going with MambaTek billet kits. Cost and performance effectiveness is it better to upgrade your 16T or to jump to a k24?
@RobertDIY
3 жыл бұрын
I don't think cost is much different when changing the parts. PSI is relevant to your other mods. I know of people running 24+ PSI on their 16T. Cranking up the PSI just makes the turbo spin faster and wear out quicker. The key is to have a power gain target and communicate with your tuner based on that.
