Uprating to bigger turbo

[R 20vt J]

I know pretty much nothing about these engines or any engines lol

Whats needed to put a bigger turbo into the car?

I know the basics but what internals do you need? I am just curious as after i finish the bodywork to the car i am hoping to do quite a bit of tuning.

Cheers

Ross.

which turbo ??

[R 20vt J]

None in particular. I was just wondering really.

[David_smith_909]

if your after a pukka BT conversion with internals - have a read of this

Cant give you any real answers though until you know what turbo your going for

Whats the budget and what are your power goals.

"Power/speed is a function of ££, how fast do you want to go?"

[R 20vt J]

kk cheers mate i didn't realize it mattered what turbo you use.

[David_smith_909]

like bill said, whats your power goal?
you "may" not even need internal work doing, depends how far you want to go

[R 20vt J]

Its a while away before I will be doing much to the engine but i am saving up as from next week once I am back from holiday.

Looking for pretty much as much speed and power as possible but would still like the engine to be reliable.

[David_smith_909]

anythings possible .......

[R 20vt J]

i Think i will just save up the csh anbook it in somewhere lol

[David_smith_909]

no offence, but how do you know how much to save if you dont know what you want to do and how far to go??

the phrase "p1ssing in the wind" springs to mind

do a bit of research on what your looking for/power goals etc etc and start from their

but i can tell you this, if your after a pukka BT install with engine rebuild with all the clever internals, clutch, diff + labour id budget about 10k - seriously !

[R 20vt J]

I was thinking getting mega power out of the ibiza but i think i might look more towards a ko3s turbo or something. This is all a while away anyway i am looking to get my car resprayed and bumpers smoothed by september time.

[David_smith_909]

if your just going to go for a k03s, then it will only cost as much as the turbo cost plus mapping (depending what map you already have, may just need setting up, ie revo etc ..)

no internals required, straight bolt on swap for your old turbo

[R 20vt J]

That snds like a cheaper option. Also i have read some posts about revo stage 2 not being much more powerful than stage 1. Whats the difference?

[Craig!]

From big turbo to k03s big difference there...!

Which k04? this is for a K04-023
Other k04 is basically a K03s

k04 manni
custom dp
lcr injectors
intake pipe
oil and water lines
larger maf tube + filter to suit
mapping

thats it off the top of my head
you wil want a decent cooler etc etc as well .... depends what your current spec is

Doesnt anyone know how to search anymore?

[Russ853]

Aint got the car yet, waitin 4 right 1 to pop up! hopefully after buyin it should hav bout £2500 to spend on bits an pieces, wanna put the ko4 on and obv fmic! its the ko4 from lcr 225

[David_smith_909]

pmsl ....

:shrug:

[DPJ]

:rolleyes: I see the problem isn't confined to the Leon mk1 section then.....:D

[Craig!]

£2500 would be a high K03 spec car, i.e 210bhp running exhaust, filter, map, dump valve, TIP, suspension & brakes.
