Not that I want to ... but how on earth does a K-Jet Turbo work >

[Ben Lessani]

Its not a remote consideration for me, but I remember seeing a car a while back with a K-Jet turbo, but I was wondering how on earth it works.

I thought the idea of K-Jet was a plunger driven off a vacuum, how on earth with it work with forced induction? It would be at full fueling constantly.

turbo goes between metering head and throttel body

No then it would underfuel loads surely?

Presumably no matter where the turbo is, the K-Jet fuel supply would need beefing up anyway. Bigger injectors, upping the pressure etc.

K-jet is bad enough on a non turbo engine!!

Volvo and Peugeot have done it plus Tickford did a converson on the Capri 2.8 not 100% sure but I believe the metering head was sealed somehow.

But surely that would just pressurise the intake and force the plunger arm shut?

I keep hearing the word 'piggyback' when it comes to these shoddy k-jet turbo conversions.

Can someone explain what 'piggyback' means on these conversions?

am i right by thinking its a pikey setup?

Piggy back is I believe where an extra Electric magical box sits between the ECU and the loom and changes the signals sent, kind of a crude remap
