Let's talk ko4 hybrids

<< < (3/11) > >>

Hurdy:
I think Sy has just about got it right. The dyno lottery plays a big part in how much power you get from a car at Stage 2+ with a hybrid and WMI.

I have been in several stage 2+ cars and by far the most ferocious of these has been Statllers DSG Edition 30.

GIAC Extreme map - stage 2+
THS Intercooler
Modified intake
Autotech HPFP
3" straight though exhaust.
Low pressure "in-tank" uprated fuel pump internals
Turbo dynamics hybrid K04
Devil's own WMI

Ran over 430bhp on their own rollers, but that only tells half the story. The power delivery is brutal and continuous. If I was back in a K04 engined car, these are the mods I'd do (maybe a different map though?!?) as for normal driving they are smooth and then for trackwork and dragstrip they are superb too. :happy2:

dan930:
How much for a hybrid ko4 & where can you buy from?

berg:
difficult choice and i would be interested to hear all options but would it not be advisable to either stay at stg 2+, go to stage 3 with a 3071 or sell up and get something with 4wd/rwd which will have the traction to handle 450bhp? :rolleye:

Dp_Ed30:
Having owned a few FWD cars with over 400bhp I can tell you it's no were near as bad as people make out.

Good mapping and half a brain cell when driving and it's fine, yeh they spin but so does a stock 200bhp gti

Think il make some calls in the morning, hybrid ko4 seems like a bit of a untapped resource with a decent gain to be had

dan930:
Let us know how you get on mate :happy2: :happy2:
