{"product_id":"kc300x-stage-1-gen-3-turbocharger","title":"KC300x Stage 1 Gen 3 Turbocharger","description":"The Kc Turbos KC300x Stage 1 Gen 3 Turbo is engineered to enhance the performance of the 7.3 Powerstroke engine. This unit boasts a completely redesigned Gen 3 7x7 SXE-style compressor wheel featuring extended tip technology for improved airflow and quicker spool-up. It is paired with an SXE-style turbine wheel within redesigned compressor and turbine housings, including a 0.91 AR Turbine housing and a 0.70 AR compressor cover that has been re-engineered for better performance compared to previous designs.\n\nThis turbocharger utilizes a journal bearing design and features a completely redesigned bearing housing and backing plate. It accommodates 200% larger thrust bearings and upgraded wider, taller journal bearings. An upgraded steel thrust insert replaces the aluminum backing plate to maintain consistent expansion rates and ensure reliable turbocharger function under extreme conditions. The integrated bearing housing and backing plate design enhance rigidity, reducing deflection and distortion from heat and pressure.\n\nKC Turbos spent years in research and development to create a direct-fit upgrade that improves upon the stock turbo's weak points for elevated horsepower levels. This turbo is recommended for use with stock to 205\/30 injectors. For larger injectors, the KC300x G3 Stage 2 is suggested. For optimal results, upgrading the Up-Pipes and EBPV Pedestal, and running a Hydra Programming Chip are highly recommended.\n\nThis turbocharger is designed to fit directly into 7.3 equipped pick-up trucks. Modifications to the turbo intake boot and down-pipe will be necessary for fitment in 7.3 equipped Vans. Furthermore, this turbocharger will not fit OBS trucks without modification. KC Turbos cannot guarantee fitment with all variations of aftermarket parts such as fuel systems, plenums, or piping kits.","brand":"Kc Turbos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52662809362744,"sku":"302676","price":1390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687499228.webp?v=1784321233","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/kc300x-stage-1-gen-3-turbocharger","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
