LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo

[danishmkvgti]

Next is a supercharged V8 R8 and finishing up the TTRS' we have with new manifolds and turbos.  Going to an external gate and GTX3076 after making ~600bhp on the GTX3071.

Cheers!

no mention of the 1.4 white peril.  Im upset 

Its too much of a beast to mention.

haha!  Yeah sorry Simon!  We are also refining the 1.4 TSI hybrid turbo software with the addition of water methanol and an over boost fix.  

You mentioned that you thought the idea of hybrid turbo's ended in the early 2000's, yet you are working on a hybrid for the 1,4 TSI?   

[Keith@APR]

I sort of make that 0-124mph in 12 seconds using my "man maths"

0-100mph in 7.8 seconds is VERY fast!

Is this stock rods and pistons too Keith? Uprated in-tank pump?

Stock fueling, stock internals. 

[Keith@APR]

Keith is that on the std golf R cooler, or is it the APR kit?

Intercooler?  APR, its part of a Stage III kit and sold separately.

Hmm, 0-60 in 3.3 and 0-100 in 7.8 is very very nice performance indeed. Does your Golf R have the aftermarket Haldex switch, Keith?

yeah, he has the Haldex kit fitted. 

Except annoyingly, I can never remember which way on the dial is "race".  So, I never know which times are with it in race mode and which are not.  I just turn the dial randomly before a run.  I should be better than that.

Yeah.  I gave them an honest go when they first came to my radar screen.  I am in a contract with the manufacturer and the client to complete the project and provide a report on our findings so the project is still going and will be to completion.  However, I doubt we will sell this product ourselves or make the calibration available to others.

Even more impressive.

All the way to the right iirc.

.... I would expect you would feel the difference in handling when going through roundabouts and twisties. 'Race' setting (#3 on the Mk5 .:R, IIRC) being the more satisfying.

and I should clarify, APR HPFP and R8 FPLV are fitted as those are fueling components.  But the injectors and low side fuel pressure system is completely standard.

I ordered the damn remote with mine but got the switch.  Took the refund in difference of price instead of having them ship the right product.  Kicking myself now.

Thank you!  I've been going in between all the way to the right and all the way to the left.  Don't know that it makes much of a difference in straight line but now that I can launch at whatever RPM I want, it should!

....Just leave it in 'Race'

Yeah, when I knew what the correct position was and I was on track or trying in roundabouts it was extremely noticeable.  Last couple of months have been all straight line stuff or I've been data logging and then not driving hard because before the DSG issues were resolved, it wasn't very fun.

Hey Keith, give us all a laugh, fgo on=ut and do some performance runs in 4wd mode, then do them again with the haldex fuse removed  

Place bets on the difference
