Default K16/16G Hybrid Upgrade

Hi all,

Anyone here running K16/16G hybrids?

How do they perform and would there be much difference to K16/24's in terms of flow and efficiency up top?

I have a set done by Blouch. Great bottom end, and pulls hard at top RPM. With this combo you don't get any lag. They have been on the car for a year now and I love the set up. I had Autothority do the programing with a greddy profect-b boost controler. I run 17psi on 93 octane fuel with a 5 bar. fuel regulator.

Awesome car, even if purple! I like!

BTW, what did Blouch Turbo charge for the 16G upgrade?

Have you dyno'd your car? What kind of power are you making at 17psi with these babies?

I had the same setup done by Todd at Protomotive. I am very happy.

Interesting. I always thought it was quite hard to top the 16/24's. I've got a set from Kevin w/programming, etc. and they are really wonderful. Be great to sample them next to a 16/16g set with proper programming, etc.

K16/24's are very popular and tried and true upgrades, but with the newer generation Mitsu 16G compressors, they flow more air (35lb) and spool just as quick as K16/24's, so I don't think you can go wrong with the 16G's, especially if you plan to run upwards of 1.2-1.3bar.

My car made 477hp and 462tq at the wheels with the k16/16g set up at 17psi with 93 octane fuel. That was on a 2wd dyno. We disconnected the front wheels for the pulls on the dyno. I have no Cats and Fabspeed mufflers. I just had Fister D do his magic on the Fabspeeds so tomorrow I will see if I feel any more power.
