LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo

Anybody see this make its numbers today at Stevies?

Thought it was supposed to have blown up by now, Stevies Mrs apparently uses it for the big shop at Tesco on the same map it ran today....

It made 475 apparently this at the end of a dynoday of stage 2+ cars making 335-355 BHP so arguably no fudged figures

475 bhp that's awesome figures

[james]

was this engine rebuilt or was it a cdl?   good results!

[Hurdy]

Yes, there were more than a few people there and it raised quite a stir. Steve's car is still on stock internals (CDL block James). There were about 15 of us watching the run and a couple of guys off the RForum video'd it as well. He did 2 runs, one at 475 bhp and the following one was 476bhp, both made the power just before 7krpm. Looked like it would make even more power with an extended rev limit and the head built. This was just after a stock R made 266bhp and then just under 300 bhp at stage 1. Steve's dyno is a low/accurate reading dyno a bit like JKM's and I reckon it would be within 10bhp either way of the 475bhp figure if it ran there. For reference my R makes 360bhp on this dyno and that is with wmi.

475? 
so, who's going to be first.........

Probably the guy who posted just before you.

Even if it over read by 30Hp that would still result in an impressive result.

What mixture WMI and what sort of benefit are we talking about with direct port injection?  Single port WMI gives 10-20hp gains with a 50/50 mixture, with only minor alterations to timing, so id imagine direct port should be some impressive gains in comparison.  Similar to race fuel?

Run was more than likely done with race fuel anyway.  That combined with the race fuel will give silly numbers.

We'd never know anyway unless it was witnessed going to a garage and filling up with 99, but then if thats what we have to do its a sad state of affairs.

Alex

If Steve said it was done on 99. Then it was.

Id trust him like I trust you.

Its just a good result lets not get into a pissing contest, learnt since last night the dyno had just been calibrated at a four figure cost.

So overall well done to all involved

[Janner_Sy]

Id like to see the non meth figures though.  Same with th Lo400.  All the GIAC dyno graphs have WMI.  Ive still not used the WMI on my car since it was installed.  Im to scared of it going wrong and destroying my engine lol.  Ill never install it again thats for sure lol.

[Statller-Stevo]

Yes the run was on 104 octane with 50% WMI on direct port running a 3 year old Giac map

Think if most people are honest you'll find lots of them running fuel sweeteners at dyno days, with a specific dyno map in some cases

475 hp (thats 500 + hp on Awesomes rollers) from a stock motor holding 380lbft from 5 to 7K rpms is no easy task I'm pretty sure if this kit was bolted to the block of the AKS hurst then it would be punted around everywhere @ £X claiming a greater victory than NASA landing men on the moon etc etc etc 

This is my daily driver to me it's still a low power baby which we don't spend a massive amount of time playing around with

Everybody who needs to know knows the figures this motor runs without the WMI pumping, Just to re-cap this runs 400hp on my dyno with no meth on a pump file at 1.7 bar (428 hp still in pump with single point WMI)

There's more coming soon from our new tuning partners @ Peron EP!   
BTW love the negative comments they keep us strong and determined where it counts 

[rich83]

Make the figures a bit pointless if your running them all on 104 octane.... 

[robern2]

Who are peron EP ?

Never ran it on 104 before Saturday it costs too much !!
