View Full Version : help with turbo upgrade
hi chaps not been on much of late but im back ! right then im getting bored of my power so now looking to up it a bit , but stay under 300bhp ! can anyone tell me a cheap way to sorce either a ko4 + manifold or tell me a bit more about the eo5 . cheers . :)
Speak to shockxe for a k03s, downpipe. A decent set up k03s will see you 240bhp and 265lbs ft. Then go to JBS for a 50bhp shot of nos on a progressive controller. Or wait for the impending turbo kits coming out, Gt28rs or Gt28r. I am sure options will be coming in thick and fast over the next 6 months.
My e05 is working a treat but is to costly in comparrison to other options. good luck mate.
what sort of dosh did the e05 cost you and what power did you get from it ?
E05 is to costly, u will get similar results from a k03s. E05 is a little stronger from 5500rpm upto the redline than k03s but not enough to justify the extra cost of the e05 turbo. E05 turbo £900, 4bar fpr £60, downpipe £200 ish, sports cat £???, Jetex cat back £300. Remap £475 and fitment of turbo £350-£500. I reckon £2000 give or take plus extra cooling £700-£800.
K03s from Mike and Adam (shockxe and adam) will be £1300 roughly for more or less the same power as E05.
I will have final power figures for E05 by the end of next week i would think 240-250bhp and 255-275lbs ft. But i will know 100% next thurs lunch time if all goes to plan. I will more than likely keep E05 and just add a 50bhp shot to take me to the 300bhp mark, and leave the car like that. I would wait to see if a Gt28rs kit comes out for the Ibiza (sure it will very very soon) and see what its like performance and cost wise. I would think for the full kit fitted, mapped etc, £2500-£3000 and some form of cooling on top, (£700) power should be 325-350bhp with 300lbs ft +.
I like e05's complete lack of turbo lag, its very quick on the road, and just needs a little more urgency, to keep me faster than the majority of decent sccobs, Evo's, 350bhp ones and above. The nos will do this and can be given a little blast to bring induction temps right back down if req. It will also keep me on track for the 300bhp and 300lbs ft i promised myself. Which in the Ibiza 20vt should be as much as i and the car can handle safely.
cheers mate , think i might wait and see about the garett :) any ideas where i could find any info on this :)
One is being developed at the moment i hear on the grape vine but i dont want to say anything as of yet, dont want to tread on any toe's. Here's some info about the turbo etc, same kit but modified to suit a Ibiza rhd car.

Gt28rs is a good choice, i would go that route if i had to do it all again.

Give it a little time the kit will appear i am sure. :whistle:

Hmmm, interesting. Any idea of an ETA?

I think its being fitted to an Ibiza in the next few weeks, results to follow i would think. Impossible have fitted a Gt28r to an Ibiza 20vt which i hear made over 300bhp. Kits are springing up, u dont have to let Impossible map the car, just fit the turbo kit.
