Bought some injectors of Gaj last week so if I want I can run the turbo to its full potential :evilgrin:, however I'm probably going to go fro about 300bhp and 300lb/f for now as I can't afford to break anything else for at least a few months
Turbo should be finished next week and be with the car within 2 weeks.

Someone is getting excited.... and so you should be.
So the turbo is Apparently limited to 330-340, will you be running meth?
Would you consider asking your tuner to see he can achieve on the turbo for research purposes.... then pull it back to your desired goal?

On a hybrid K03 you should still be able to get near it's top potential but without a rebuild, there's not a lot you can do to lower the compression ratio. Still, will be interesting to see how easy it is to hit 300bhp...

Yeah I've seen 350 pushed on an AXX with the K04 setup but like you say without changing the ratio you can't really get much more but to push more it would probably need a rebuild anyways, I'll save that for a couple of years time though :party:

I am very exited indeed, fed up of driving a 20 year old mx5 and a van around which combined have less power than mine will.
I won't be running meth but yes I am thinking about letting him do a run at maximum (or near enough) and then turn it down to whatever I end up running so I can see what it's capable of. Problem is I might not want him to turn it down afterwards :laugh:

Vince is the man when it comes to mapping. I've had four done by him.

Or, you might end up rebuilding the block sooner that you thought lol

very interested in all of this. Im in a similar situation, want to turn my car into racecar, but I've been waying up on getting a k04 lump the putting the tt420 or building my engine up. this ko3 hybrid sounds very appealing though, i know that its not all about figures and with how i want to use the car big power is not really what i need. (but would be nice) Oh the decisions :popcornsoda:
