I havent been on here is a while but i figure i would come back(now that i have my car back lol). Im starting a build with it(mild). I will post up some pic as i go first parts should be in next week Here she is stock and ready to go.

 

What are your goals Adam?

 

im thinking only arounf 400 ish. nothing that i half to spend too much on

 

nice car dude

Don't think you can get 400 on k04. unless you are boosting to 25 psi and meth, but im not 100% on that.

a S256/259 would get you there, but you'll lose that sweet small turbo low end TQ.

I'd first decide on what your max budget will be, and then decide whether you want to keep stock k04 or re-do the whoel turbo build

ZZP offers a turbo upgrade kit for about $4000 that will get you to close to 400

welcome back

 

i know im not going to hit the 400 mark but gettting close would do just fine lol. i dont want to push the drive train too much

 

Go with the WR-2, WR-3 or the ZFR. They will get you to your goal and are direct bolt on replacement turbos..

To get to even around 400 you are going to be stressing the turbo out too the max...you would have to be super aggressive and you really don't want that for the motors sake...

Best but would be to upgrade turbo and be on something that could get you to your goal without having to be aggressive..

 

last part just ordered from turboxs. once april is here im putting it all on and going out to JD racing to have a tune done and that should be it for me this year. unless i come across a lot of extra money

 

ok the last of my parts are in so im going to begoing over to jd racing sometime soon to be putting a new map in it

 

Hahaha i just put my turboxs rfl exhaust on. so ******* loud.....

 

I'm pretty sure that was you who drove by mountain rd last night around 6ish? car sounds good with the new exhaust

 

What all did you end up ordering ?

 

ya it was probably me.

 

all from xsturbo
intake
RFL exhaust 3"
dp with cat 3"
charge pipping and innercoolier

 

Boltons are considered a build? 400 won't happen on the stock turbo. FBOs and e85 or meth will net about 350-360 depending on altitude.

 

friend of mine dyno'd 409 stock turbo... second highest dyno numbers for the k04 at the time.

 

Mods?

 

full bolt ons... (no intake) 30psi trifecta tuned


and by no intake i don't mean the stock one.. i literally mean he did not even have an intake

 

i havnt seen vince do a 30psi tune.....
i know the long gone infini boost tunes would boost around 28psi and he hasnt done those tunes in years and wont anymore....

 

ive always wondered what power numbers can be made from just bolt ons and a good tune???

 

I'd like to see that graph. I dont see how this person managed ~40whp above what most make running FBOs and e85. 30 spike at 3k rpms could maybe pull that off. Power curves must have been horrid.

Refer to the dyno thread for realistic numbers.

 

i figure im looking at 320-350hp with the proper tune when all is said and done.

 

i sent him a PM regarding the graph. i would like to see it as well.. unfortunately i don't have his number and his last activity is Last Activity: 07-08-2012 09:49 PM

 

with full bolt ons and a good tune that should be easy for you to do.

my friend has full bolt ons from TurboXS as well. turboxs intake, exhaust catless DP, everything.. and he dyno'd 330whp and 360wtq.

hptuned by css3 at 22psi

 

that was my exact thoughts

 

yeah depending on the tune and your fuel you can get as high as 380whp with stock turbo...
