Ko3s Hybrid

[stevegti6]

the ko3s just does not do it i want more power the next step is a ko3s hybrid ko4 bits in a ko3s i still can run my blueflame down pipe what else is needed
is this a good a conversion or what i dont have IHI money

Theres a few threads on here that i was reading earlyer doesnt look like you would get much change from a K for the turbo, but i assume it would be a stright bolt on jobby as it uses the k03s housing so your DP sholdnt be a problem. I`d imagine you would just need to get it mapped again?

what sort of bhp figures will you be seeing from a k03s hybrid

 

[__B3NNY__]

When i was reading earlyer apprently gazjones was looking at around 260bhp with revo stg2 which to me doesnt sound worth it considering nick s got 256bhp on a jabba custom k03s. Im not sure what the hybrid k03s figures would be with a custom map?

closer to 280 bhp i dont think my ko3s coversion is going to see much past 250 bhp by the time jabba has finished
im ringing westec performance this week to see if they can do a dyno run just see what its pushing before it goes to jabba in july

instead of spending more and more money on your car - just buy mine!

 

[pdcupra]

why not a k04 conversion like hooch did for nick?

 

[stevegti6]

im in love with mine i would not part it mate

 

[stevegti6]

why not a k04 conversion like hooch did for nick?

i seen the conversion and was not impressed his was no quicker than mine when he had the car back

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Wasn't running right then.
If you think way then why consider a KO3s 'hybrid', it's going to be no better than a KO4 conversion.

Apprently there was mapping issues though that needed to be sorted out. Somthing was up if a k04 was no faster than a k03s.

[stevegti6]

nicks did need remmaping i dont want to lose the blueflame down pipe as ive just bought it been talking to badger 5 on this one and hopefully going to set the ball rolling very soon ko4 seems a lot of hastle

 

[__B3NNY__]

So its going to jabba to be re-mapped to a k03s? (custom) then your going to get a hybrid k03s and need it mapping again? Is it me or does that sound abit pointless?

David.

 

[stevegti6]

lets see what it makes at westec if i do have a custom map then jabba can tweek the map for a ko3s hybrid ive allready spoke to jabba on this one

I thought you was having a new map on the k03s? I'd wait and see what that feels like first before you possibly waste a lot of money on possibly 10-20bhp.

 

[beattie17]

Why not go jbs04 with atp manifold and new remap, should see you at 280 or just past

maybe i dont know if im going gain anything by going to jabba badger5 has logged the car and he doesnt think there is any more to come out of it i will get bill to post the log up and see what you think phil

I have a LCR, turbo dynamics will charge me 425 plus VAT for a new core in my current turbo frame (new compressor and turbine etc) which they rate at 320-330 bhp. My point is they can probably do a similar job (smaller internals) for the same price for a ko3/s. guaranteed for a year. No need to spend a grand. Pay one of the guys on here £100 or so to fit it and its job done. (Maybe injectors or reg)

 

[nick-barnes07]

i seen the conversion and was not impressed his was no quicker than mine when he had the car back

it was only slow due to it neede a new map on it , trust me a k04 would leave your car , and i spoke to mrc who done the map and the 2 cars , mine and hoochs had completely different set ups , such as hoochs was mapped to the apexi boost controller he had etc etc

 

[nick-barnes07]

i agree with phil , take it to westec , see what it is getting on the rollers , if its getting 240 - 250 , which i cant see on a standard k03 map , dont bother getting it mapped , if its getting 220 or so , get jabba to map it and see what you think , whats the point in wasting 1000 + on an extra 10 - 20 bhp if u r happy with the map that jabba do
