K03 vs Ko3s hybrid performance

[dubz_wm]

Firstly before i get ripped to streds by some of you i have done a search, found alot about the ko3s hybrid but nothing about the ko3.

I want to know if you would get the same performance results by making a hybrid turbo out of a ko3 as you would with a ko3s, im assuming you would as they are similar units with different internals as standard.i believe ive only seen 1 person who is doing this on the forum.
any help?

i was told by a company they are too samll to do anything with soo they didnt!

ko3s lardi da turbo is your only option!

Apprently not Robbie, CR turbos convert the k03. Also JBS convert the k03 and the S.

 

[turboboy]

really? fair enuff im wrong! was told the housing on the ko3 were too small!

Well,CR turbos get around it by using a k04 outer casing so thats kinda cheating, but when i was in contact with JBS they said that i could either send them a k03 or a k03s for them to convert.

Do you know how much this convo would cost mate? im quite tempted to get it done.

I belive for the CR turbos conversion its £581 inc vat thats assuming your old turbo is in good enough condition to re-use.

Do you have all the supporting mods to be able to run a hybrid?

 

[dubz_wm]

thats not a bad price,no not as yet. not totally sure what im gonna need to be honest. its gonna happen after xmas anyway and im getting the car custom mapped, with fmic and exhaust on in jan before.
anything else im gonna need? what hp will that push?270bhp, ko4 power?

 

[__B3NNY__]

Id expect high 280`s plus tbh.

I wouldnt bother getting a custom map before you go hybrid as you`ll only need it mapped again.

Your gunna need :

TB exhaust
FMIC
TIP
Big air filter (optinal)
TT/LCR injectors
Uprated exhaust manifold (optional)
Custom map to suit.

I think thats everything.

And then theres the extras like an LSD and WM injection.

 

[dubz_wm]

wm injection??

thanks mate thats great advice

 

[M87NER]

water methonal injection

I am pretty sure the K03s is exactly the same housing as the k03, however only difference is that the k03s has few but larger blades which produces little more pressure...so wouldn;t really make a difference.

No problem.

Add a 3" maf housing with your standard element inside to that list!

 

[DaNnY_LaD]

yup for hybrid a k03 from cr turbos is around 580 Inc vat and carrage

 

[pj1985]

For 280bhp you would need an uprated exhaust manifold.

danny_lad wasnt it you that was doing the ko3 hybrid??

A decent K03s is approx 230-240 bhp. Mine is 238bhp on revo stg 2 (Boost 6, Timing 6)

A sorted K03 Hybrid is gonna be 280hp +. Matner has just had his done - although is he is keeping very quiet about it for some reason !? lol

He made good bhp and torque figures at rs tuning with a custom map
