LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo

[Tfsi_Mike]

I'd be happy with the 370 and mapping to suit.  Would finish my car nicely

[RobH]

Loba si was talking about lowering the price of this turbo when the LO4xx comes out. Would be better than running wmi for sure, would be even better in addition to wmi.

As a few have said, it would be worth it if their k04 had gone pop.

It's quite interesting reading all this, and whilst I'd not do it, there's plenty that will and it seems great bang per buck.

Also funny that as predicted when everyone jumped ship fom REVO, it'd only be a matter of I've before something cropped up that would rival APRs offerings. Nothing has changed in the last decade eh

Hi guys

LO380 been around for some time 2 or so years if I recall correct, sold many in Europe only a few in the UK

I have customers at 390+ ps and 540+ Nm I do think if in the right hands over 400 could be obtained with this unit seeing what numbers guys make on stock units If to be belived ?

Hi Si, any word on pricing of the 380 as i think i remember you mentioning you were gonna review it once the lo4xx was nearing production.

I know quality stuff costs £££ so im not expecting crazy price drops.

[Hurdy]

Stop namby pambying about Rob and get the L04XX on

You know you want it.

....That's exactly what I feel too, Mike. It's clearly a very strong product and very well thought out and there's plenty folks (not me) after the big power and big numbers. 

[MAT ED30]

Power is nothing without control 

[LOBA SI]

yep its called a throttle pedal 

[RedRobin]

....Without getting into a debate about wheelspin, are your turbo's particularly different in what they add to the power such that wheelspin actually is the choice of the driver? You could say that it's always the choice of the driver but I think we all know that mega powered FWD cars can be a bit too tricky to kill wheelspin reliably.

^ This may be a naive or ignorant question, but your LOBA turbo sounds as if it is a better product than the others currently available.

[LOBA SI]

to be honest we dont design a turbo thinking about wheel spin, tuners can map and limit as steve has now on this project,   we do try to design a nice spool and so , but of course a FWD high powered car will be a handful but for me its a trade off maybe for some maybe not,  ive ridden big bikes for many years 180bhp + through 1 wheel with a contact patch 3x 4 in ... ive also enjoyed small 250 and 400 type bikes

what im saying is differant things appeal to differant folk and at the end of the day YOU as the driver or rider is controlling the machine,  and its fun to have lots of power for me anyhow  

[chungster]

It's down to the mapping surely ?? You can tell a K04 to boost differently at whatever RPM / throttle angle etc etc
