Turbocharging The 7K-E Motor

[hasitha]

Hello,

 

I tried so hard to find some useful information to turbocharge a 7K-E but with less success. Hope anyone will help me to know what I am up against with.

 

I have a 7K-E motor which I need to turbocharged. Some say that it is impossible as the stock compression is already high (9:1is it?) and that the intake and the exhaust being on the same side prevents location of the turbo unit.

 

Hope someone can shed some light on this for me. I read that the stock compression can be reduced by using a thicker gasket and the turbo can be mounted using "J" pipes or some other method. Has anyone turbocharged a 7K-E? I really need some ( a lot of) advise here please.

 

Cheers..

There are a couple of people on here who have boosted K motors, a couple of examples:

• Red Rocket's 5k Turbo Efi Ke55s
  
• Jaydnisevil's 4k Turbo Ke70
  
• Taz_Rx's 5kte Ke55
  

Just have trawl through the rides threads to see if you can find more.

 

Also,

, which is apparently this guy's old car. He's still active on YouTube so maybe he'd respond to a message if you have got questions.

 

Edit: Mute your speakers before you watch that video, trust me.

Not impossibly by any means. I've ran my 7k with my turbo/efi setup before.

 

Compression ratio isn't an issue if its tuned correctly.

 

And you can also fit a decent manifold in under the efi, check out mine.
