Ko3s hybrid

[denzil691]

I have a Ibiza cupra r ayp engine code

Was just wondering I've seen a few ko3s hybrid 1.8t's and I was going to ko3s but seeing as It can give me 10-30 bhp increase not sure if it's worth it as my 1.8t ko3 full stage 1 can stay next to a 1.8t ko3s :s.

Will I need to do rods, pistons etc.

Or am I being a donut saying this and I do defo need to do them lol

Thanks in advance please be nice lol

If my memory serves me correctly if you have the cupra r you should alsready have ko3s

Cupra r has the same k03 turbo as any other cupra it's just the map which is different. I read you only need to change the rods but that's upto you as some say you don't have to change the rods, others have changed them for piece of mind. I personally would change them just so you know for 100% they won't break on you

 

[chris_200120vt]

just the rods need changing pistons can take 350bhp i think it was know it is more than the rods anyways

If my memory serves me correctly if you have the cupra r you should alsready have ko3s

r's came with a ko3 not a ko3s they just came with a slightly mapped ecu instead of 156bhp came with 180 bhp

I'll defo do them then as I don't want that on my mind all the time start the saving up, when I first got
Mine I thought it had a ko3s but I looked and no just a ko3 it's a seat factory map which makes it 180 instead of 156. I'll do some looking about for rods I've seen ARP pop up in a lot of threads

 

[seatcupramad23]

many k03s hybrid run with stock internals which are good for 300-330bhp and around the same ft/lbs torque , get the car mapped progressively not aggressively and if you can run it with mbc to stop spikes , which can kills rods

 

[chris_200120vt]

ie rods

 

[fourtwofive]

rods are peace of mind

 

[denzil691]

Fourtwofive how is yours doing I've seen figures from 270-285 on here been going through loads of hybrid threads just to make sure I do it right

 

[fourtwofive]

Yer mines running mint love the power no lag just goes mines running 262bhp ditching the forge cooler will bring it to 270 ish so yer good little turbo

Nice mate as I'm happy with 210 at the mo I can save up enough to do things properly how much did it cost you for the map? I'm happy I didn't buy the forge cooler then I bought a universal one off eBay for £100 with pipes 2nd but does the job. The Jetex is sounding good btw mate love it.

lol thats a miltec mate god knows what it would sound like with the jetex on!
mapping was badger 5 £660 i think it was but worth every penny

 

[denzil691]

Lol rather nuts I think sounds good on mine get up 3k onwards it just rasps, I've heard nothing but good things about bill @ badger 5, I saw in your r/r you had take your coilovers off to get it on the dyno lol have you got a custom code map?

 

[fourtwofive]

Haha yes I got a set of cheap coilovers so my car would fit on bills dyno as I'm running hnr 60\40s. But all done now. no I'm not running cc map I'm on badger 5s own custom map
Just ordered larger Intercooler as my cars getting very hot intake wise

[denzil691]

Nice hope my fronts haven't seized then, I've got a Uni intercooler not an eBay kit bought the cooler and pipes apparently it can withstand 350bhp not sure how true that is
