Turbo & Compressor Kits

For each engine the "right upgrade"

Before our engineers prescribe forced ventilation to an engine, we first analyze whether a turbo upgrade or rather a compressor upgrade delivers the best results (turbo & compressor = engine charging). Engine characteristics play a major role here. Is it a high-speed unit or is the series variant perhaps already charged with a turbo or compressor. Maximum performance, performance, longevity and the price / performance ratio are factors that are taken into account in order to potentiate the driving experience.

The engine charge is used to enhance the performance and efficiency of combustion engines by supplying compressed air. Compressed air increases the degree of filling, so that more air is available for combustion of the fuel available. In each cycle thus their work is increased.

Today, exhaust gas turbochargers are most often installed to improve performance and efficiency (downsizing). In the exhaust gas turbocharger, a turbine drives a compressor directly. The turbine wheel and compressor wheel are firmly connected via a shaft and form what is known as the rotor. The turbine housing is located directly in the exhaust gas flow and ideally close to the exhaust gas outlet of the engine. The compressor housing is separated from the exhaust gas flow. The compressor wheel, driven by the turbine, compresses the charge air in the fresh air intake tract of the engine. In this way, the remaining energy in the exhaust gases is used for improved and compressed intake air. This increases the efficiency of the engine.

More performance and reliability at an excellent price-performance ratio and minimal maintenance are the main advantages of the SKN Turbo Kits. The components used by SKN and the resulting engine tuning have been tested under extreme conditions in driving tests and on the dynamometer. The Turbo Kits are cooled to 99% charge air and are not only the most reliable and powerful systems on the market for this reason. Our systems are plug & play simple and inexpensive to install.

We supply turbochargers from the world's leading manufacturers (KKK, Garrett, Honeywell, Borg Warner and many others) in the areas of OEM, motorsport and tuning. All turbochargers are tested and tried and tested from the motor or racing sport, come new and original from the manufacturer. We didn't run cheap replicas of turbos with inferior quality! SKN Plug & Play Turbo Upgrade Kits are available for almost all engines, brands and manufacturers. The kits developed in Germany impress with their performance, quality and stability. Special conversions, turbo optimizations and the corresponding hardware and software adaptations are developed directly at SKN INHOUSE. This gives you the security that everything works as you are used to from SKN.

Compressor Upgrade Kit | mechanical supercharger

Compressors (mechanical supercharger) are driven directly by the engine via a chain, belt or gear transmission. Unlike the turbo compressors (eng. Supercharger) thus operated mechanically and not as the turbo on an exhaust stream. Thus, compressor-powered engines also have another line unfolding as turbo engines. The charging means of compressor rises above the speed steadily linear, making for high speed - Genset perfectly suited. The turbo typical noticeable higher performance (Turbo-Kick) above a certain speed of eg 2000 U / min is not felt in the supercharging. Here, the performance unfolds homogeneous.

Essentially, we distinguish between compressor systems such as the screw compressor, which is often installed directly into the intake manifold and compressors that are integrated into the belt drive and mostly sitting in front of or next to the engine block. Compressors are characterized by a simple structure, small size, low mass, uniform delivery, smooth running and lack of oscillating masses. This results in reducing costs, minimizing the maintenance costs and increasing efficiency.

Our compressor kits are available in various configurations. Depending on the power output, additional modifications to the engine to be made more or less. So at some compressor kit, the exhaust system, connecting rods, pistons, injection or charge air cooler to be replaced or reinstalled. Thus, the compressor upgrade kits work perfectly and have absolute practicality, our kits are both hardware as well as software-tuned in detail.
