Turbocharging K-Jetronic cars
Does anyone know anything about K Jetronic Turbocharging. I am thinking of turbocharging my B19E and i think what i am thinking might work. Obviously strapping on a turbo is not the end of it, still need to increase fuel suppy. Seeing as i have to relocate the fuel injection unit like on factory 240 k-jet turbos. I was thinking of using a Mercedes 500 v8 KJet system instead to fuel it. It seems that the injectors are the same but it squirts more fuel , the fuel pump pressure is the same on all KJet cars, and the components are the same except for a larger capacity. The components that i think i will need are the V8s Air mass sensor, fuel distributor (as used by the Group A touring car) , injectors and warm up regulator.
Any feedback is most welcome. I do realise transplanting a b230et from a 700/900 would be just as easy and more tuneable. But i want to try it this way. Please tell me if there are any flaws in my theory as i am not an expert with the Bosch K-Jetronic system. I am not expecting huge power gains either just a bit over 200hp.

The first Saab turbos were K-Jetronic. Shoud be plenty of ideas there.
