Loba 4xx Hybrid turbo

[Cupra R]

Evos aren't as reliable once tuned as people think either. Everyone I know of with one says they require a fair bit of TLC. Plus they are also a bit of a cereal box car.

4wd conversion on a Cupra is about 2k.

Who's performing 4wd conversions for 2k Pov?

 

[RobH]

Its gonna be less than £3.5k including vat but more than £3k

As for 420bhp with wmi....... since when has wmi added 60hp

380-390hp with wmi i reckon. 420hp that guy must be in lala land or his dyno operator needs to find a new day job.

Steve was running his k04 hybrid with wmi and was making 420hp.

I wont be doing this turbo probably just do wmi or get a 135i - map, decats and ic is over 400hp and low 12's and loads of fun with a faaaar more capable chassis and better interior......

When i put it like that why i have still got the cupra, withdrawl symtoms coming again

You know the person in question Mr H

Yeah, the whole numbers game is fun although perhaps not hugely faster or more capable.

4wd conversion on a Cupra is about 2k.

Where from? Or is that a "diy" 2k? That would make for a very interesting car if you then go Loba or GTX.

Hmmm

That is if you source second hand parts, its actually not as difficult as one assumes, requires chopping the boot floor.

Would it be like the 4motion set up then mate or haldex?

Certainly be good.

 

[Poverty]

4motion is haldex. Basically just use s3/golfR/r32 parts!

Removing the turbo isn't too hard...(with the correct tools etc)

Its the intake manifold, getting to the injectors is the hardest part! removing throttle body...then bolts then wrestling the $%££$ out...and removing the injectors (hopefully) it will be alot easier next time when I do it the job!

cheers Jase.

Just going to go wipe the egg off my face.

I had a different thing in mind and just blabbed this silly question out instead lol.

 

[POPOV]

Any updates on this? Anyone proceeded and done the install of the Loba 4XX turbo?

 

[Al]

Yeah - several. Revo are currently fitting it to a Golf R20T and creating a file for it

 

[POPOV]

It would be nice to see it run side by side against the APR stage III kit to see differences.

Now that may bias my thinking on my next car! Not planning to change yet, but I was wondering about the Golf R with suitable upgrades naturally! 4wd and 400bhp (ish, maybe more) would be very tempting...

Awesome Thread and I hope this turbo is available sooner rather than later

It is available if you contact Loba directly.

That's exactly what I have done. And while I miss my Cupra, the .:R is in a different league. The roads are greasy as fu.. at the moment and not a sign of wheel spin. I'm currently GIAC Stage 1 with the mods from my Cupra (Evoms, autotech internals, Milly D/P) transplanted, which is a huge cash saving, running 330bhp/320lbs.

Next week I get my new cat back Milly, GIAC Stage 2 engine & DSG maps, which are expected to produce 370bhp with similar torque. Devils Own WMI for Christmas from the Missus (I knew there was a reason I loved her!), which should see 390bhp-400bhp, sub 4s 0-60, something like a 12s dead 1/4 mile and most importantly...grip!
