I dont have an k85,
only k80,k45,k102 and now friends k86.

it works amazing! cooler exhaust, around 350C (my other ones run around 600 and break 700 on start, k45)
fast response up and down stock, 5 sec from idle to max.
we haven't touched anything yet and if all stays same, I doubt we will, all just works out of the box!

Diesel fuel with 5% KT oil

Nice video dr.Tom.
Any thoughts on fuel consumption?
I was thinking this would be perfect for my Rebel Hot build. Not so great though if it drinks hard.

That little thing is amazing. Looks like the same form-factor as the K70 but spooled up some. EGT and acceleration time is great!
