Identifying Knightsports twins.

[Matt_K]

Good luck with fitting them.. I can\'t even imagine trying to remove the stock twins with the engine in the car, lol

After i\'ve rebuilt my engine and made my v-mount, i\'m gonna go chasing some bhp with pip and some new fuel goodies... all this talk of 400+ at the fly on stock ports has made me hungry

To give you guys an idea of how much the Knighsports twins are:
 
This inculdes a donated turbo pack in Japan (is much easier and cheaper than sending yours out there and back) refurb and the RF420 conversion it comes in at £2,270 inc vat and delivery.

Ha ha ha, indeed my man! :Giggle

Must say im interested in these KS twins.  Stronger and more air, sounds ideal! :cool

edit - 320 rear wheel WTF!  I managed 275RW (I think) with the mods!  Ok i\'ll see what the new engine does

With fueling, intake, exhaust, ic and apexi fc you should make 320 rw at 1.0 bar boost, on stock ports.  Main prob is the stock twins don\'t like running that boost really and increased wear occurs (in my case oil seal went after 2 weeks so went single..)

Can happily make 300 RW daily

Matt, you lucky, lucky man

[Matt_K]

Not really dude, I\'d rather have a working FD and not skinning knuckles getting the engine out! lol

Now when it\'s all back in and I\'ve bought some new bits... well.. maybe then

[interloper393]

are u making them non-seq then?

[Matt_K]

Nope, no plans to do that. I enjoy sequential too much.

I know it would tidy the rats nest up no end, but I\'ve had a look at a few threads on doing it, and I don\'t fancy it. Sounds silly when i\'m a first time DIY rebuilder and I\'ve got no issues about ripping open the engine.

Cheaper going single at £2270... but great if they come on the car eh lol

Hopefully then I have a lot to look forward to with a new engine  I had all the same mods but at peak of 0.85 bar.  Thought my reading was normal! dammit lol :Grrr I too shat the oil seals but lasted 2 years on that boost - still not bad for a turbo pack 140k miles old! :Giggle

Cant wait to do the new motor

[jm-garage.co.uk]

Yeah without adoubt if you got them at that price!
 
When you buy them direct from Knightsports they/you have to supply a set of 2nd hand turbos to do the conversion with that is around £250-£300 before you have even thought about the RF420 conversion.

any porting ?

[Ricco_04]

Still on the stock ports in afraid! :rolleyes:

I might drop the upper and lower inlet manifolds off and port match them on the new motor.  Also have efini y pipe & crossover to go on too (well, its on its way) and knife edge the throttle body housing.  Im not after major bhp but just nice to see what difference I can get :yes
