Title: Hybrid K04 - how much power?
Post by: Hurdy on October 01, 2010, 04:12:45 pm
Well I can tell you exactly:-

404bhp! and 387lbft.

This is on the same style dyno, with the same software that my old car used to go on and got 372bhp on normal fuel. So, an increase of approximately 32bhp over the normal K04. Statllers own car.

It's been tweaked a little on the map since then too. Craigs car is also in the 400+bhp club on a hybrid too. Damn, sold my car too early :sad1:

400 horses, I remember a few years back when to get over 300 on the old 1.8T KO4 was what people where aiming for.

So who makes/modifies the KO4 to hybrid and how much?

Sounds like a better option than say APR Stage 3? Financially?

Does it fit the standard Manifold/Housing?

Should I be looking at another section of the forum? :scared:

Hmmm sounds intresting lol what kind of monies are we talking to gain this ko4 hybrid and 'specific file'  :wink:

I haven't looked into pricing, but these are the steps Statllers used (they have 2 hybrid K04 Edition 30 cars - one DSG and one manual)

K04 goes off to be hybridised - needs to be a "good" K04 turbo with little or no play in the compressor wheel shaft
GIAC hybrid file
RS4 injectors
VF intake - file is tuned specifically to use the VF intake diameter
Uprated "in-tank" pump.

Normal stage 2+ bolt-ons like turbo-back exhaust uprated and HPFP - an uprated intercooler would also help keep those pesky intake temps down.

You'd have to phone Steve Jr at Statllers to get an accurate pricing - I'd just be guessing. :happy2:

reliabilty of a hybrid?????  i was wandering about this awhile ago.  jabbaluke hasnt been on fo a fair bit with news on his yet. 

no news is normally bad news so i presumed both hybrids were no good.

could you get steve @ stadtlers to post up graphs of before and after prefereably on the same dyno if they had them so we can see the power crves and how they have changed

Im fairly new with all this tech stuff whats the hybrid thing all about i need to swat up on all of this  :confused: ????

It takes a while and lots of people know a lot more than me, but, its all about taking a standard KO4 (or any other turbo) and modifying it with different parts from different turbos and modifying the standard turbo parts to create the 'hybrid'.

Not sure how the KO4 is modded but usually it will be things like bigger compressor housings etc etc.

All turbos will run out of 'puff' at some point where it can't physically produce enough air from the amount of exhaust gas supplied (? I know what I mean but somebody can explain better). Andy Forrests Subaru website explains all this a damn site better than I can.

I think the ED30 KO4 runs out at 350ish BHP not sure what the PSI is?

The other option is something like an APR stage 3 with a Garrett GT2871R which needs a new exhaust manifold.

Whereas, I am now guessing, the hybrid KO4 can use the standard one?

Anybody like to ellaborate and correct me as I sure I am wrong in some places.

Update....

There has been a Revo stage 2+ car on Stattlers rollers too now.....with the normal K04. This was checked out as healthy and with no running issues like pressure leaks etc. It made 327bhp and 320lbft on their rollers. That would be an increase of 70+bhp and 60+lbft for the Hybrid :happy2:

So their rollers are up and running at last then John?  :pomppomp: Have to say that 327bhp sounds a bit low for a Stage 2+ car and I thought you said Steve's car ran 400bhp on the same rollers as you went on (ie Nobbles?)  :confused:
Steve's car is quick for sure, but it was no way 70bhp quicker than mine (or any Stage 2+ DSG KO4 for that matter) at Inters. Especially as mine must of been running a gamillion oC intake temps at the time too  :scared:)
Your first post sounds about bang on though, around 30bhp gain. That for me makes it well worth while..

That 30bhp is gonna cost circa £2k over S2+ though. I personally don't think its worth that. In addition, if you come to sell the car, stripping it back to get some of your money back from the mods wont happen as the car probably wont run well with a hybrid turbo and code without all the other mods.

If you want to hit 400 bhp I think the hybrid is the best way to do it.

What you don't realise Ben is that Steve was running a pump file at Inters and the pump file ran 372bhp on his rollers. The race file is the one that hits 400+bhp :wink:

Their rollers seem to be putting down similar figures to the dyno Dynamics rollers, so 340bhp for a stage 2+ would seem about right and 355 for yours would probably be on the money too Ben. :happy2:

Been down to Statllers again today as Gojinder was down there having a dyno session. After fiddling with the REVO settings he managed a run of 341.6bhp and 320 lbft (revo stage 2+) The settings were altered substantially as he was having huuge boost at first and then nothing up top giving him results of 312bhp. The 341.6bhp was the best result he had, so this makes the Hybrid K04 on the same rollers quite a tasty proposition...... :driver:

Oh and Ben - Steve said that when he went against you at Inters on the pump file he was two up with a full interior, luggage in the boot and the fat guy in the passenger seat was over 16 stone :signLOL:

Oh it was definately a quicker car John and I was taking into account that he was 2 up (I was road trim too). I just wouldn't of said it was 70bhp different at the time, but different map obviously..  :wink:
Be very interested to see what it runs now? Mid to low 12's anyone  :surprised:

Was good to see you today Hurdy and thanks for the tips on droping the boost and timing :) and steve :)

Yeah my car was having some boot issues on the first dyno run, but it seems okay now, it seems to rev more freely and harder towards the top end

Saw your car there aswell robh :)

Post by: Hurdy on October 06, 2010, 07:38:20 pm
No worries Gojinder :happy2: You should be in good shape for the next RR day now :driver:

RobH - Steve has spent a load of wonga on the latest dyno software and even flew out the software designer from Germany to make sure that the Dyno runs spot on. Generally speaking it looks like it reads similar to a Dyno Dynamics roller for power, but with lower torque figures.

Steve is having some more software files from GIAC for the hybrid soon as he thinks there is still a little more power to be extruded from the turbo on both pump and race files. :evilgrin:
