Thanks Garrett
Ok... Well I hope this post helps calm things down a little bit. I have been out of town all weekend and was not able to post. The reason why no one "knows" who KC turbos is... that is because KC Turbos was not quite a vendor yet and was trying not to break any rules... We did not realize what "vendor pimping" was... now we do. We want to thank all those who let us know privately and politely that we had broken the rules and that we cannot send private pm's about products without being a vendor. The video was posted just to show him what a good vgt setup can do. The only reason we did not post anymore info about our company is because we were not vendors yet. It was not meant to be any sort of secret. Many people in this thread know some of us and I appreciate you guys not jumping right out and telling the whole world who we are. We may be new to powerstrokearmy.com but we are well known in other places.
KC Turbos is a small company based out of Arizona. We are not a big shop and we are not looking to "take over the performance world". We would prefer to stay small and keep our customer happy, rather than blow up and piss off a lot of people. This company was started in an effort to provide great cost effective turbo/performance options to the 6.0 powerstroke world. We always felt that a lot of the "bigger" companies had left us 6.0 guys behind. There are so many options out there for a lot of other platforms that are not available for us 6.0 guys. When we started we were looking for a more cost effective way to run a larger vgt turbo. Well after many months of R&D, testing turbos, creating a good supply of parts, working hard to bring turbo costs down... we finally have a couple of descent products to offer and we will strive to continue offering and bringing out better options.
Our KC 68 stage 3 turbo is very new to the open market, but it has been well tested. We started off with a couple of average joe testers and a couple of un-biased, well known performance shops to test out the turbos. Everyone so far has been SUPER IMPRESSED! It has been run with many different combos from stock injectors to 205cc injectors and everyone has said that they are super impressed.
Here are the specs:
KC 68mm Stage 3 VGT turbo
Application: 6.0 Powerstroke
Recommended Injector size: 175cc - 215cc
Specs:
Compressor = 67.8x94 billet 11 blade single plane wheel with extended tips (we offer a 6x6 upon request)
Compressor AR= we offer a .58 standard with .72ar race cover coming soon
Turbine = 74x70 10 blade gt40 wheel (this is our own proprietary gt40 based wheel unlike any other)
Bearings: 360 thrust bearing with larger than stock journal bearings
All Turbos are 100% dismantled, rebuilt, and rotating assembly balanced. Compressor covers are modified on a CNC machine. Turbos are 100% inspected and checked out before shipping.
Send me a pm for pricing
I wanted to post this video again... someone mentioned that the turbo spooled slow. It may look that way because we were taking it easy until we reached about 15mph and then rolled into the throttle. I can tell you that this turbo lights off SUPER FAST. All of my testers have told me that it lights off faster than any other turbo they have ever used. Even though that seems very unlikely for being such a large turbo, this turbo lights super fast. It cleans up 190cc injectors to almost 0 smoke and lights very close to stock.
