LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo

[danishmkvgti]

Shark's mk6 gti has the Loba KO4 hybrid, 313hp IIRC

Their kits are a good price too.

What Loba K04 hybrid??

Only one i know is the Lo04xx, and 313hp is what you get from a stock K04

Why do that? as the stock IHI turbo with Revo can make just above 300hk, seems very expensive for 13hp IMO

....Are you sure that the Mk6 GTI's turbo is a K03? I may be wrong but I thought it was different - IHI?

[danishmkvgti]

Make a new tread about the TSI hybrid instead of using this one please

Yes, Sorry it is IHI stock turbo & 313hp is capped at the minute due to everything else stock.

To get back on track though, Shark will have a range of kits available soon for the TFSI

on BWA engine to run this sort of power safely is uprated rods and pistons enough?

Paul

Personally Paul i think thats far too much power going through the front wheels

Unless your planning AWD conversion that is, go on you know you want too 

Or just put it straight into an AWD Golf R. 

Hurdy,
No need for any engine internals upgrade on R if you want 450ish bhp? The rest bits straight from gti - hpfp, exhaust, intercooler?

Cheers

No engine internals needed. To go from stock to L04XX and 450+bhp all you need is.......

Uprated hpfp.
Intercooler upgrade.
Intake.
TB exhaust.
Uprated in tank pump
RS4 injectors
RS4 valve.
Possibly water meth injection to keep things cool

I asked Stevo @ Statllers, the IHI is almost exactly the same as the K03

Looks like Jonny Cocker has finally driven Simon from Loba off the Vagoc forum......

"A note to all i have decided not to sponsor VAGOC Any longer due to a certain administrators affiliation with a competitor, I've really had enough of his questions and bias and half truths, I feel i can no longer be a paying sponsor and keep having to answer negative questions and comments/digs from a forum admin that's surely should be unbiased and not be part of the admin team if getting paid from rival tuning company, I've raised this and made many complaints over much time too other admin but nothing seems to change, I never had this sort of stuff on any off the many other forums we pay to sponsor. "

Pity as there was some good postings over there from members too.

Just saw that.  Shame really as Si is a top bloke.  

It it did seem that JC was being outwardly harsh on him, but that post where JC posted up all his previous responses in that thread a few days back and justified each one pretty much showed otherwise.  Even vRSAlex mentioned about the EGTs being potentially being a sticky point, which was the main question that seemed to be getting asked.  Lest be fair, if EGTs get really high at stage 2+ on the K04, maybe they are right and adding another 100Hp to the eqyation could push them even higher.  We dont know as it wasnt answered.

To be fair both of them were doing it, not just in that thread, but also others on there.  Its pretty amusing to read it over facebook and the various forums.  They are all at it
