Can anyone tell me if a k03 would work if I put it into the lancer?

 

Way too small dude. You are going to need something a lot bigger than that even for low boost. To get any kind of decent airflow out of them, you've gotta 1 bar+.

 

But would it work if I put it in though? or would it not work at all??

 

Moving to Lancer Induction.. I'm not so sure why it was in OT, but here we go..

Can someone delete this public service anouncement while they are there too please ? tah.

 

I'm not familiar with the K03 turbo, but you're certainly not going to be running 1bar + in a Lancer without an engine overhaul and rebuilt. The Lancer's relatively high compression ratio makes for a fairly high effective compression ratio of 9.5: 1 with less boost than factory turbocharged cars which typically have a CR in the ballpark of 8.5:1 to 9.0:1.

 

so which turbo would be good for the lancer? good being a car that has turbo to the extent that it still has handling.

 

I really have no idea what you're trying to say in that second sentence.

Most people are using T25's, T28's (most popular), T3's and T3/04 hybrids. I think there's a 14b or two out there too. I'd personally recomment a T28 or T3 of one sort. Try checking peoples' registries and searching through the forums if you need more info.

 

thanks for the help

 

BTW to answer the original question: There's really no reason I can think of that any normal turbo couldn't be made to work on any combustion engine, however the most important issues that come into play are the spooling characteristics. The T28 is a good size (if anything just slightly on the small side) for our 16v SOHC 2.0l. If you intend to go big on your car's build then it would be beneficial to go with a larger turbo and slightly more lag (if any depending upon the setup). Unless you're rushing to get a turbo on your car (which I would NEVER advise) take the time to read...a LOT.

Learn to understand compressor maps and get outside input. Read other peoples' experiences and digest the information at hand. There's a whole boatload of info out there at your fingertips, and you need only take the time to sift through it all. Good luck.
