somethink you lads might be interested in i have been in descussion with a japanese company who can supply a k04-001 for £313 delivered but they have offered me one for £235 delivered so i can fit set up and dyno run it and if any good advise you lads what you think.

untill I see the results from Andy, I am still sceptical about the actual difference the k04-01 unit has over the k03s

I would wait untill I see some definite RR results IMO

this is why i have said to them that they should supply me one for free so i can test it m8

Would not be putting a chinese copy turbo anywhere near my engine free or not.

 

[bgasmatt]

y not

Cant believe you even need to ask! They are crap mate thats why. Reliability, build quality etc etc.

 

[jamiebennett81]

y not

believe me, and a lot of other experienced guys on here, buy cheap, buy twice

no such thing as cheap car parts, and I for one would NEVER put any cheap replica parts on my car from China thats for sure

quality, durability and reliability IMO has always been very poor.

avoid at all costs mate

 

[bgasmatt]

have heared they are better than the ihi conversion hahaha.

na if they give me one for free i will try it out of cureosity.

hang on, I am confused now

why would you want a k03 hybrid or a k03s, they are pretty much the same as a k04-01 to run on your current engine

a proper k03 hybrid would in essence actually put out the same if not more power than a k04-01

the K04-01 is just a Borg Warner turbo, off the shelf and is nothing special.

from your comments, do you think a k04-01 is a BT application then?

if you are going for BT for your new engine, what turbo will you be getting?

 

[bgasmatt]

no my other half currently uses my car wile i am doing work on hers and i am not going to put my engine and a bt in wile she is but the current 200bhp is not enough for me i have come from some high power cars no just need a bit more for present that is why just want a k03s or something of sim specifacation.

for a tried and tested route, I would go with the k03s, unless Andy whips out some RR results from his K04-01 (Thats a genuine k04-01 I mean, not a copy from China)

 

[bgasmatt]

i really dont know what turbo to run m8 have been going through all the old posts but am still none the wiser what would be best. as in reliability/power. + i am still trying to acwire a few more parts b4 i can do it m8.

lol i wouldnt really run a chinna m8 dont worry my cars are my pride and joy

 

[bgasmatt]

also what price would you put on a low miller ko3s. and what is the max power it could run.

low mileage one about £250-300 and max power (despite dyno lottery's) would be 240 absolute max
