what numbers are being put down with the k04 on a lsj? im also looking to trade my spare lsj head for a workin turbo looking for 330-350whp

 

it will all depend the turbo might only be good to about 350ish.

 

thats what im lookin to get 330-350whp

 

Dont believe anyone has done a k04 lsj swap, me and jimboss are the first one, slight difference between lnf and lsj's, lsj have higher compression, which should result in more torque, we have a better flowing head then the lnf esp me with a ported head. The bad news, we dont have vvt like the lnf cars or direct injection, these I believe, are two main reasons why the lnf is such a potent platform. But if I dont achieve the numbers I am looking for, no biggie, baldturbofreaks has a big wheel upgrade for the lnf k04 that should be lulz

btw good lucky finding someone to trade your head for a k04, I have been trying to sell min for over a month for pennies and all I keep getting is low-balled, these ****** kids on here want good parts for basically free

 

wow theres a bunch of us doing this now lol

 

jim we apparently started a trend lol

 

i know right, i guess it's a race to see who gets done first.

 

haha sure did frew. let me know if u want help with install cuz if you get nice numbers you know whos were doing next =)

 

what trend is that? the "sell your TVS and go turbo" trend? cause that was going on about 5 minutes before i joined the crowd

 

no fair! you got a head start

you better start lookin for a k04 then

lol, dont get me wrong there has been turbalts around the forum for a while, but you always see s20g balt, garrett balt, bullseye balt, but I have yet to see a k04 lsj. After reading you post is what really stopped me from spending 2k on a tvs, oped my eyes.

 

I want to see the results of these...should be interesting. With a nice flowing head and some more revs it should have a nice lil powerband

 

lol i'll wait till we get yours running and stuff.

 

revs=bad torque=good for the k04, this turbo kinda dies uptop, and adding revs will just make it worse, but down low the torque is gonna be eat your heart out tvs.

 

yah true, and i have all the parts i need ordered allready

 

frew & jim pm me with updates on your build i wanna see how this goes

 

i'm gonna run it right into the choke line and see what she'll do, don't plan on revving higher than 7200 though.

depending on work schedule, there will be no updates, just a finished product. will take me about an hour for the install, then its just tuning.

 

are you twincharging with k04? or just k04?

 

damn yooooou, I just ordered that coolant crossover tube, 15 dollars for shipping and handling, really?

 

why on earth would anyone twincharge with a K04?

 

yah there shipping is killer high, i ordered 2 parts for a total of 30 bucks and they charged me 50 shipped....wtf moment happened shortly after lol

 

Ya me niether, getting all the parts, and then ***** going on.

Ya I plan to do the same thing, ever considering doing btf wheel upgrade? It would be like having a k04 disco potato

what jim said

wtf? I remember when I ordered all my internal head **** from them they charged me nearly 100 bucks for shipping, keep in mind all this stuff could fit in a box no bigger then a shoe box.

 

yp as said there, you can spend $2500-$3000 on the tvs, injectors, mass cooling mods, and intake then you need a header and you can get roughly maybe 325-350whp and 275-300wtq

of you could spend about the same and have a turbo and do those numbers on lower boost with more torque and you can have more power by the flick of a knob or push of a button and the best thing about everything?

it sounds ******* nice and not like roasted ass can from a honda with a straight pipe!

also if you guys are looking at a internal wastegated ko4 with a t25/28 flange, why not just get the garrett 2.2L cobalt manifold. it's what i run and you don't need to do anything with the cooling pipe, it's a direct bolt on

 

in the future, depends on a few factors, if i can upgrade the turbine then yes, if not then no.

 

ya having an added turbo muffler is a bonus, my car is already pretty quiet with the dynamax muffler, with a turbo its gonna be basically silent lol

 

haha you guys are gonna hate me, with selling off a bunch of stuff and my old setup, i only have $160 into this setup, and even that is soon to be paid for by more parts sold
