Default KKK Turbos - heard of them? How much?

A mate has been asked to make an offer on a pair of KKK 3070 turbos, and ideas what the going rate is?

Thanks

I know they use KKK on alot of German stuff.

HKS do a 3037 fitted one on a mates datsun and that was around 700 but that was a fairly good price and not new.

didn't know there was a KKK 3070

The HKS would be roughly £1200 + shipping from japan

but i have just realised you were asking about a 3070 and not a 3037 so just ignore the whole HKS thing as i was being retarded and didnt read it properly lol

info Lewis They not big, they not the bollocks, and they not expensive

KKK 3070s are nothing liks HKS 3037s either like Andy said, they are Garrett Turbos.

3070s are fairly diddy lil things, more commonly called KKK K27s (99% sure), i think they external wastegate (tho the Blitz versions intended for GTRs etc wernt) even tho they piss small (well, sorta T3 size)

Blitz use KKK turbo and actually sell Blitz 3070s, good for about 300bhp each if i remember right, nowt special.

Wouldnt say they worth much, offer em 200quid cash n see what they say.

Funny... I always thought that was IHI!

I think KKK are actually owned by Borg-warner at the moment?

KKKs are used to great extent on the 1.8T 20v turbo VW lump.

The £6k Blitz single turbo kit I've got for the Skyline uses one.
That's about the lot of my KKK knowledge!

I was going to add that!

KKK-16 is the standard turbo on a calibra turbo c20let

kkk-26 is the turbo from your s2 also used on a lot of the Porsche Turbo's

The turbo on a c2olet is good, it is more the fact of the manifold being more restrictive as the manifold is part of the turbo etc..

Still got 314bhp @ 17psi from my nova turbo on a standard kkk16 turbo, which was more than enough through the front wheels

Whats the deal with the cossy turbo's? There seems to be so much choice of turbo you can use on a cossy but people are still running T3's and making what I would call good horsepower on these units.

Whats the best turbo for lets say a 350bhp build ?

Apoligies for sounding dim but I've come away from vauxhalls back to Ford and now offcourse wanting more H/P than the nova had but without putting everything on its limit.

The YB is going in a mk2 escort so I imagine 350bhp will be more than enough?
