Welcome btw Montemor. I'd like to see any info you have on the K14 & K16 turbo's & manifolds used on these small block engines.

We have here only the diesel versions of these turbochargers. They are a little different talking about the power output. This K16 is nice to a little over 300HP and is available with 3 different hot housings, with or without reflow (I don't know how you call the "lip" on the cold housing intake)
These turbos are available with titanium or aluminium rotors.
We have some cast iron manifolds available to this engine, with variations to fit all cars that came with the engines. They are T3 or T2 flange.
That's the one used on my car (T3 flange)

My K16 (Hot housing size 5, the smallest, as they at BorgWarner names. They do not inform the A/R)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ben again.
holy **** montemor, so serious awesome info, any chance of pics of the heads? could even start your own question and answers thread to be honest
Does nobody recognise those manifolds......
Couple of years ago, bloke selling turbo kits for GM 8v motors on eBay from Europe....
Got my Nova back last Friday, after it was fitted with 4 new pistons, rings, shells, oil and water pump, and also had the sump modified to carry an extra litre of oil and more baffling as I was suffering some surge problems.
Race day on Sunday; Ran it up to temperature in the paddock, warmed the tyres up just before the start line and all sounded well. Pulled up to the start line only to hear and feel a big misfire........
Misfired it's way all up the hill.
Pulled the plugs out and No.3 no longer had a gap, clearly it had been hit by something. And a compression test found Zero compression on No.3.
So now it's gone back to the engine builder once again, and I'm waiting for a phone call to find out what's gone wrong.
It's not been a good season so far!
I'm now pushing ahead my longer term plans to build a completely new engine (see my thread in 'Mechanical').
Once I get the cash together I'm going to commission a 1000cc short-stroke all steel turbocharged engine, based on a 1600cc 16v motor, possibly using a Corsa VXR head.
