k03s hybrid or k04

[emch4mmer]

At some point im going to upgrade my turbo

Id like about 260bhp, i could have an apr kit conversion that will get me to about 245bhp and will cost around 1800 fitted

Fairly straigt forward and i can upgrade all the other bits at a later stage

But i keep reading that a k03s hybrid would be easier and cheaper and offer more potentual

Anyone done this and can tell me tje real cost of hybrid? Where can you buy them from?

I cant see how one will be heaper tjan the other but i beed educTiing on tjis as im still learning

[missingmyvrs]

But a k03s can do 250bhp with correct stage 2 mods ;-)

[emch4mmer]

This is true, the only thing that puts me off spending more on my current set up is tjat its great upto 5000 rpm and by the time i get near 6 im already fallen to stock boost levels of 0.6 - 0.7 bar

It just seems to loose power after a good few seconds of strong boost

[emch4mmer]

I would like to say that this may just be my lack of understanding, i assumed it would hold strong boost through the rev range but ive learnt something here

[missingmyvrs]

Get the right setup and mapped by Rtech and you won't look back

[emch4mmer]

Thonk ill give em a tinkle and have a wag of the chin variety

See what can be done

[missingmyvrs]

Rtech only map

Hardware needs to be done first ;-) I know some that can ;-) lol

The k250 ko3s hybrid by beachbuggy turbos is rated for around the 250-260bhp mark, and is a fair bit cheaper than the k300 hybrid, still a 3s but has seen figures well into the 300+ ponies!

I have a mate with a 270bhp ko4 Vrs and a mate with a k300 golf gti, power on both cars is awesome but i feel the ko4 feels more agressive to drive, whereas the k300 feels more refined. Personally id sooner fork out a bit more on a ko3s hybrid and have a bolt on replacement rather than saving money but having to faff aroumd swapping stuff for the ko4 setup

I can vouch for the beach buggy turbo I have one on mine now the k250s and it's hella quick even without the map getting checked but I need it checked

How does the k250 compare to stock turbo ? Does it hold boost for longer? And how much did it cost to have fitted?

[Jimbling]

Fitted my self as it's easy for me and I have to get it mapped to suit the turbo now as apparently mine was stage two

I got mine with an uprated actuator as well rated to 11 psi, an rs6 exhaust wheel but stock ko3s compressor wheel, it's a thing of beauty and didn't want to put it on the car

Aha so after reading through a few threads i now know you are mr cntuning!

How much would you charge to fit a k03 hybrid and any sipporting bits reasy for rtech to map?

At the moment i have revo so im aware that needs to come off

[missingmyvrs]

Go to pm buddy ;/) I can't advertise like that on here as not a sponsor at mo lol

You can pm me or email me ;-)

[VRade]

K300 is the only way.

[Jimbling]

But if he does k300 he will need rods

[VRade]

no you dont.

 

Nikki maps them to within limits.

[emch4mmer]

Will tje k300 jave better top end boost?

[missingmyvrs]

It will but unless you have rods it will all tailored down anyways or you will have a rod through your block

[Joo]

OT - can 317 ccm injectors (OEM vrs) hold this hybrids?

[retroboost83]

sorry to revive an old thread but im thinking of going for a k250 turbo would i require any supporting mods eg larger injectors etc etc or is this turbo just a case of fit and map to suit?
