K05 is JBSs name for its k04 hybrid.

 

[dubz_wm]

i knew that........

If you're looking at a standard K04 setup then it's easier to go with a Hybrid K03S, same oil lines, DP, manifold, TIP etc

i have a k04 set up looking to hybrid it and get a jbs mani to see 320bhp

 

[dubz_wm]

If i decided to go ko3s hybrid, can the same be done with a ko3 as they are the same shell? or willl that be less power?

 

[Robbie C]

Depends on the company doing the hybrid work as some of them change the housings altogether but as standard the K03 is slightly smaller - there's a few posts outlining the differences.

K03S has a 39.5mm compressor housing as opposed to 37mm on the k03, and also has a larger main vein and continuation.

If you are changing mani and getting a hybrid turbo which you will then need a remap for I would do the part ex yours deal you mentioned for that IHI. Better set up and it will cost you less.

320 bhp from a k04? i'm no expert but i'll believe it when i see it....

From a hybrid k04 its probably possible but will be pushing it and the power band at that level will be tiny. Thats why the IHI would be a much better car.

 

[mr_D]

his tourque levels are close to rod bending at moment so needs to think about internals aswell

 

[M87NER]

i dont get hybrid k04 really, what do they do to it...? bigger internals? if so from what ect...

 

[pj1985]

To be honest he has probably not actually got that much torque but with hybrid k03s at 300bhp bending rods I expect a hybrid k04 would possibly do the same so rods would be worth doing. This obviously isnt a problem with IHI at this power level.

 

[mr_D]

well his touque levels are high at moment

your the guy who owns the ihi are you mate?

there alot more chance of getting 320 bhp form a hybrid k04 with jbs mani than there is of a 250+ ko3's lol

Personally i would leave your car as it is. I think your at the limit of internals and im sure its rapid enough. If you want something quicker go ihi

the ihi i want on piston heads and on here is 342 bhp on stock internals though ??
