Title: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: vRSAlex on June 28, 2012, 08:24:30 pm
Right then, who is interested?

Turbo should be good for 450bhp and similar torque.  Original oil and water lines fit straight on along with the K03/K04 downpipe.  Intake just needs an extra pipe.  Almost a bolt on setup.

Or go for a real mans turbo setup:  :evilgrin:

Looks great Alex  :happy2:

I assume all Stage 2+ hardware is required? Anything else? Will the standard rods and pistons take it?

I reckon standard ed30/s3/TTS rods etc will take that but only just. Look incredible and have read a lot of excited people's remarks on this subject. Would love to get one but definitely a engine rebuild for a K03  :sad1:

vRS will be getting one in the next few weeks for development then the turbo will come out once we are happy.

Revo will hopefully be doing the mapping.

Its not particularly cheap, but compared to a 3071/3076 setup it is.

What softwares on Steves?

Revo, but stage 3 which is meant for for the 3071 turbos, rs4 injectors etc.

With that setup he has to use a manual boost controller.

Post by: RobH on June 28, 2012, 11:04:43 pm
ARP headstuds and a new headgasket would be minimum requirement for me for reliability on the k04 engine.

Been looking into this alot recently and i reckon your looking at £4k easily for the turbo, RS4 injectors, modified intake, in tank fuel pump, ARP head studs plus headgasket, new map not sure how much Revo will want over 2+ and then theres labour on top.

I guess you gotta pay to play.

Definitely up for one of these.....once I decide if I want to PX the Polo or not.

I've driven Steve's and to say it is fun is an understatement. It was only running 1.2 bar at the time, but can run 2 bar  :drool:

With a DSG I'd also say that clutchpacks will probably get a battering, so cost in HPA/SSP clutchpacks into that unless you are running lower boost.
Title: Re: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: Janner_Sy on June 29, 2012, 05:52:00 am
3k for the turbo tthen there's injectors then potential clutch packs possibly rods and pistons.  At this rate surely its better to just go big turbo!!

Plus the guys running hybrids at inters werent exactly faster than any of the KO4 cars there.  id prob consider one if i had anS3 or Golf R maybe, but normal fwd even with a diff.... pointless imo.
Title: Re: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: DaveB@Vagbremtechnic on June 29, 2012, 07:45:49 am
Can't believe anybody thinks going big turbo would be easier, it's an option of course, but very invasive.

Let's not compare this to a big turbo setup and credit where credits due, I work with LOBA and they have completely hit the nail on the head with this turbo, power delivery is sublime apparently, very linear.

This is NOT the usual franken turbo using different ends, the profileof the impeller has been designed to perform, the compressor is machined on a million euro CNC machine the casing is machined and the manifold gets a load of flow work, it's actually two turbos combined to make one, quite frankly I don't know how they do it for the money

As I say I work with LOBA and have been watching this coming through for a few weeks, that's my interest declared, invariably it will get compared to the APR kit hopefully this won't turn into a pi$$ing contest about tuners.

From the simulations I've seen as far as area under the curve is concerned there's nothing near it for the money.

Stage 2+ power at 1.2 bar on a KO4.......just think about that for a second.........



Title: Re: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: Janner_Sy on June 29, 2012, 09:13:51 am
Dont get me wrong, i know LOBA hybrids are very well constructed and can produce great numbers.  That's why i have one fitted to my car!!!

The LOBA turbo will spool faster than a bigger turbo, thats for sure, less lag is good however that also has its issues. 

Like i said, if it was a car with haldex to transmit that power then i think this turbo would be a great option.  But if I had a FWD car i think i would go for a GT28 and run the setup like SteveP is.  I think the extra lag that a big turbo produces will help with the traction a little.  But even his car with all his chassis mods/tyres etc still spins its tyres with no issues.

I personally think anything more than stage 2+ is too much for a FWD car even with a LSD and sticky tyres.

I agree that 350+ bhp on FWD is as issue! I am running K04 with stage 2 and sometimes I wonder if that is not too much with all the supporting mods i have with wheel spin especially from a stop. Once rolling it's different story but then we are talking illegal speed territory and only to be used on a track in my view. AWD could be dull in terms of feedback so to me RWD is the way to go for high powered cars. Just my view

400+ in fwd is alot but its not as bad as some of you guys are thinking. there are guys in the usa with 600WHP.

with a good map, lsd, sticky tyres and a good driver this turbo will be able to put you in to 11s.

jonneyc managed a 12.5 so a extra 70bhp of a well sorted car should see 11s all day long

With a dsg box maybe but it would be a tall order imo, on a manual i would say no, depends what the turbo is capable of as that is an unknown yet but remember more power means harder to get off the line. With 450hp 11's would be touch and go and not a chance in a manual.

A golf R/S3 would piss 11's with this setup though.

This will have to be mapped very sensibly i think. Full power needs only to be coming In at around 3rd gear otherwise pointless imo. Revo deffo need to get this one right from the off. I find there 2+, stage 3 maps way too agressive low down and as said that would be pointless in fwd.

Think you're right grading the AWD and this turbo, one benefit of hybrids is that you have options, the LOBA TTRS hybrid cars have three different maps for commuting, sporty and 1/4 mile!

I'd have it on a GTI in a heartbeat running 380 with enough torque to pull the side of your house off, trick clutch and diff and it'd be perfect. It's nice knowing you could plug in and have the full 430-450BHP for inters and Dyno days!

We need to find out what it needs and a total estimate for the conversion, can't see it being more than a stage 3 kit whatever it needs
Title: Re: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: RobH on June 29, 2012, 02:14:42 pm
I dont think stage 2+ is too aggressive, the pedal isnt an on/off switch. This "stage 2+ is already too much for fwd" thats going around in these threads just makes be laugh, my car copes perfectly well with the power obviously in the wet theres issues but its no different for rwd cars. At the end of the day its a laugh to drive and having too much grip would just get boring.

Would this Turbo be too much for fwd car? Ill make that decision when ive been in it thanks. Yes it will wheelspin in some cases but personaly i think this car on the road on a spirited drive and not doing traffic light GP's will be an absolute monster and put a big smile on your face and thats the important thing above all else and that ultimately is why we tune our cars.

All these people that say you have to put 100% of the power to the ground or its pointless can bore off and buy a 4wd car you sound like a set of car journalists :indifferent:

Definatly alot less than a stage 3 kit, i reckon £4k, when you brake it down there is quite alot of stuff thats required.

Spoke to steve@statllers yesterday he said just to wait on let him get the car finished and he will come up with a conversion price fitted.

....I'm 'guilty' of this as well. I've spent thousands on modding my lowly powered (but well balanced!) K03 GTI to my liking and could have bought something with higher performance out of the box. BUT an individually customised chariot is rather special, no?

As Kev at Revo once said to me: We each have to draw our own line in the sand regarding how far we go modding.

The age old argument of modding or buying a sorted car in the first place.

I know from years of reading EVO and before that Performance Car - I have never chosen to drive a car that serious driving enthusiasts (ie the guys who pen EVO) would choose.

Granted they all respect the mk5 GTI as a good drivers car, but far from the best front driver/ hatch.

If I had my head screwed on I may drive an MX5/ Elise/ E3x M3/ Reno Meg R etc (chooses cars of sensible price range that are good steers).

But we all have this affliction to spend/waste  money on modding humble VWs :drinking:

My car choice is ruled by my heart not my head - I took a mates scabby old Boxster out a few weeks ago - fastidiously maintained I admit.....WOW what a car to drive. Could easily enough afford one if I sold my mk5.

But I choose a Golf.... :stupid:?


And why all the talk of quarter mile ETs.....surely this blower is better suited to a B road blast - goading the fast bikes :evilgrin:

....Gobbling up a Porsche Turbo at Inters doesn't make your car (or mine) better or faster. I only used the Porsche brand as an example of an ex-factory car which is more likely not to need tuning.

As others have now said, most of us would modify any car we bought and there's certainly a long tradition with VeeDubs.  :happy2:

I have been in Steve's 997 when it was running about 600bhp and there is no way on gods earth was any 2.0 catching that thing. Now it's running the 2 Lobas it will fly in to the 10s with the new clutch.

The car is beautiful inside and out and if I could afford to run one I'd have one tomorrow.

Can't believe anyone would mention an S3, Golf or anything similar in the same breath tbh. Each to their own I guess, but even a stock 997 turbo or carrera s is a different league to any VAG hot hatch.

i think everybody is missing the point.

we all know a 911 turbo is better than a s3 but what he is saying £ for £ his s3 holds its own.

i love taking on m3s and 911s in my gti, if i loose do i look silly? not rely im only in a golf.

That loba turbo on a fwd golf will spin in 1st and 2nd but it will be a monster as soon as it hooks, my semi slicks made so much diffrence to how fast my car is as it hooks as soon as first is out of the way  :party:

Steve Jr at Statllers has just given me some more info on the Loba L04XX turbo's performance.

He is now running a manual boost controller and the turbo is HOLDING boost at 1.8bar at 7k rpm!!! At Inters the car was running 1.2bar.

The MAF reading is now over 320mg/s at 6300rpm and over 330mg/s at 7300rpm. The turbo is capable of running at 2.0bar, which would give 350mg/s.

His car in 2010 did a 12.766 1/4 mile at Inters with a 4.52 0-60. This was on a Turbo Dynamics modified K04 which was running 305mg/s and was maxxed out.

To put this into perspective the K04 is capable of up to around 285mg/s.

The reason I'm quoting mg/s is that it is easily track-able through VCDS and a division of 0.8 will get you to bhp at the fly that you'd see on a dyno and is a better true show of power than a dyno. More air in equals more power out.

Results like this tempt me to get back into a 2.0TFSi myself :laugh:

Ok guys, just realised and confirmed with Steve that the intake they are using is 3"  diameter and not 70mm diameter which is the normal diameter that the MAF calculates on. This means that the MAF is wrong on VCDS by 18% and the reading should be more like 390mg/s.  :surprised: That means they are running somewhere in the region of 485bhp and they have only just started tuning!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone check my calculations but this is what I've done......

Pi x radius squared = area of MAF

3.14 x (35mmx35mm) = 3846.5mm2  for stock MAF size.

3.14 x (38.1mmx38.1mm) = 4558mm2 for Statllers 3" intake size

4558/3846.5 = 1.184

or 18.4% increase in volume given that speed is constant.

This could prove very interesting from here on in :party:

They must be using the giac map still then as the revo doesn't support the larger maf.

If that's the case then the maf readings would be scaled for the giac map and will be correct.

Let's not get too giddy, talk of 480BHP is theoretical at best, I'd be happy if that was 10% out.

That would still be stage 2+ TTRS output on your edition 30.

Quick look on autotrader gets me a 2010 KO4 TTS for £18000 nearest TTRS is £10k more

The soundtrack issue could be sorted with a milly or the boys at BCS

TTS Chassis is the same as the TTRS except brakes which aren't great anyway.

Have LOBA just made TTRS tuning defunct?

....Which is why it's more useful to use the same rollers and same operator if making comparisons (partly why i use JKM). No reason why you can't consistently use more than one though - In other words, regularly use Dyno-Dynamics and also Maha, and then compare Maha only with Maha and D-D only with D-D.

Ultimately the bottom line is all about driveability, not willy waving or bragging in the pub.

Performance modding is a subject of diminishing returns and the further you go the more there is then another component which needs modding to work properly.

Indeed Robin, been speaking to LOBA this morning over another matter, they're not expecting anybody to go around at max chat with this thing, they're obviously interested in what it will do if pushed if only to compare real world figures to what the designers say it should theoretically push.

As with the TTRS turbos and the Porsche / RS4 turbos with which they made their name in Germany, they'll be expecting customers to turn it down and have über good driving manners knowing they can have headline figures at the load of a map

This setup is great if you already have all the stage 2+ goodies.  Keeps stock intake, downpipe etc.

But if you have a GTi AXX/BWA engine you need rods and headstuds, but on the ed30 lump you should get away with it.  I would add headstuds though if it was me.

If Revo won't do a purpose built map for it then the stage 3/4 map will work with rs4 injectors and a manual boost controller.

With the vRS's current setup, on track at brunters a few weeks ago I was easily pulling on a mapped ttrs and a mapped rs5.  A Porsche turbo did sail past me though on the straight.

I would say most of the £10k would be gone - as would the warranty. Very good points.

All really depends on the supporting mods.  In a straight line then the golf would have the advantage, but for the golf to handle the same then thousands would need to be spent, but I think you would be surprised how close the golf could be.

Once the loba is fitted to the vRS then pop down and come out in it.  Hopefully I can show how the power can be managed.

This project redefines the meaning of the term Guinea Pig!! LOBO should buy their own cars to use as test beds.


In a idea world that would be great, we have a few project cars but the amount of turbos we make devlope not only for us but also others it's not a option, we are a small company and not tuners so we rely on good partners to give us feed back. This particular project came About due to my close freinds telling me how well statllers cars went at 30-130 against there cars,  I apouched steve asking him if he'd like to be involved in product delvelopment and LOBA products, he jumped at the chance hence why your seeing this here in the UK on statllers company car.  

This turbo is a prototype and this is real world testing it's been done public so as to share many are not ! Would you prefer us to not share?

Welcome aboard Si. :happy2:

Si has been very helpful and informative and honest in his posts on VAGOC and after having one of Loba's turbos on my car, seeing the Loba L04XX on the Golf (and driving it!) plus seeing some of the quality of their brakes at Inters I am certainly a convert to the quality and performance of their products and wouldn't hesitate to use any future car I may get for development with them if I had the chance.

Robin, I understand your point, but Loba cannot cover all the bases with their own test cars as they make products for everything including the Loba turbo upgrades on Porsche turbo's and RS6's.

Night out in Bedford!

I'd be insisting on a discount if you were going to be exposing me to that!

Back to the turbo

It's a good discussion about putting that much power through FWD and having some exposure to a Stage 1 DSG RS3 with 420BHP it's a very fun drive that's mildly addictive with the AWD.

Being pragmatic its a AWD turbo but there's a good few Stg2+ and big turbo GTIs knocking about...did they all waste their money?

Come on Robin are you serious? So every product they bring out they should buy a car to test it on. How much to you think that product will then cost, because be sure the cost will be past on to the consumer.

Do APR, Revo, Milltek buy there own cars for each individual product..... NO.

They have the odd company car but in no way do they buy a car for every map they sell. It would seem you are suggesting Loba buy a car for every turbo they sell?

Your wrong pure and simple.

APR im pretty sure are using JonnyC's car as a guinea pig, maybe they should go buy an TTRS along with there Golf R. :stupid:

If they can get a willing tuner to test the turbo and in doing so reduce the cost to the customer then im all for it and im willing to bet Steve@statller and Alex@AKS are too.

tbh Robin we are not in the same finances as the above

We bought two new 2.0tfsi s3 engines (hence the picture at beginning of thread) to develop products for and our company CEO bought a S3, and of the back of this and engine dyno work that we cant share due to NDA agreements you see this unit LO4XX as well as new things to come soon HPFP, Pistons, and Turbos, also been testing rods

I'll be producing a pipe that will have the same oe position as the original turbo. This way any intake will fit straigh on with this turbo.  The pipe will also allow the breather pipes to bolt on in the original position.

I'm sure APR are using Janner Sy's vRS to develop the map for the Loba hybrid on the 1.4 Twin charger.....

And a few years ago I think DanGB was the guinea pig to test the APR stage 3 kit for 2.0 TFSI motor.

Fact is the industry suits this type of set up....willing punters who don't mind lending companies their cars to test new products and ideas. If this wasn't the case the pace of development would be mega slow and products expensive due to the extra R&D involved

Come on Robin

people like forge are forever borrowing customers cars to experiment on.

It also need saying you've benefited probably more than most by making your car available for components...

Not having a go, LOBA's a small successful company with more know how than revenue. It's unrealistic to expect free stuff from a company it's size, i'll hopefully be able to give away new products at some stage but until then people pay up with some discount with added support for installation and issues going forward....

Anyway back to the turbo...until somebody gets it on a car and maps it properly it's a doorstop, got a good feeling about it though, going to be a whole new avenue of tuning and all done by design - improving what we've already got and had for about 6 years that nobody's bothered with before....

Okay, so I was ignorant of what LOBA are all about and asked some challenging questions which have been answered to the benefit of others who will read this thread and who also have never previously heard of LOBA.

However, this is one product I'd rather that others 'braver' than myself tested in their cars. :smiley: It sounds very interesting if it succeeds.

Post by: Statller-Stevo on July 01, 2012, 10:18:24 pm
Evening Chaps, hope your all doing well

Thought it was about time I started posting some useful input here for the many I do know and the few I haven't had the pleasure to meet yet.

Regards the Loba 4XX (Darius's Loba's little baby) the idea behind the unit was a safe 400 plus hp on a totally standard K04 power head with no more lag than say a stock K04. As we all know this power level has been reached and plenty surpassed many years ago with the legendary Garrett GT & GTX series turbo's but came at the cost of turbo lag and a turbo lag that we have now become unaccustomed too.
I do have the turbo fitted to our demo car now as a few of you already know and I can assure you that 400hp is totally real world possible as the turbo is virtually asleep at this level.
Our car is still on standard internals and I'm trying to keep it that way as to keep costs down to the end user but all importantly keep costs down and be safe & reliable.
Like most VW tuning indies we've seen a lot of Hard worked K04 motors (some very hard worked ones Mr Hurditch!) and have yet to see one detonate, I'm not assuming at all this isn't possible as we may well soon find out it is, but that would be on my own demo car which I can repair with ease and not one of my poor old customers.
I would agree headlift is the main issue which will have to be resovled, I have discussed this with a few already.
We have seen pistons let go on poorly tuned cars in the past that probably never got set up right in the first place due to lack of knowledge or maybe budget.
I can tell you one thing for sure this hybrid is of the likes you've never seen before, I know Mr Loba is keeping it a close guarded secret for now but I assure you this design could not be replicated easily or cheaply.
We have a 2WD DSG demo car and a 4WD DSG demo car, we will run this set up on both now , the 2WD & 4WD tunes will be very different I can guarantee that for sure!
We will develop tunes for Giac and Revo so customers can go with their preferred supplier
Tuning and specific live road mapping will be commencing shortly.
So now we have it for the first time ever More power than a GT28RS with no more lag than a stock K04 !
I'll keep everyone up to speed as much as I can here when I have the time that is!
Remember we undertake these new and exciting projects to eventually offer them to you guys, these new tuning options are all for you to choose what is right personally for you I'm not saying one is better than any other.
After all were all in this together !!

911 Carrera 4 (996) (He bought this for his wife but she did not want it, although in his divorce she suddenly wanted it  :grin:)
911 GT3 (996)
911 Turbo (996)
911 GT2
911 Turbo S

Had to say I preferred the 911 RS (993) purely based on looks.

He still keeps trying to convert me as he knows i'm a huge Ferrari fanboy and he hates ferrari's, ETTO  :signLOL:

In the good old U S of A there are businesses which cater for divorce parties for women!

To get back on topic (unusual for me): Now that I understand better what the LobA turbo is being developed to do, does this mean that it should be possible to remap so that the power doesn't cause wheelspin and loss of traction?

If only you were closer Steve.  Would like to take a drive before I buy one.

I'll try and give you a call tomorrow.  Need to gang up on revo to get a true off the shelf map.

No probs to give me a tink your more than welcome and I agree with you about Revo.
We are running very stable fuel trims and intake temps with the GIAC flash though,  This thing does have some serious grunt to give
Remember this turbo is the little baby of the bunch I'm pretty sure they can be made a lot bigger, I would imagine GT30/76 ish power is no problem with a lot lot less lag

Realistically I reckon its going to cost around 3.5 to 4k to get the turbo and fit it along with the stage 2+ parts needed.

Great figures Steve.  Will it rev past 6.5k or is the dsg holding back?

Thanks AL
In all honesty We quickly strapped it down tonight and ran it with no prep what so ever,  old plugs & other things etc
It seems pretty much done at 6600 on the graph but as I said the plugs are old in the car, I think with better ignition we could be better at the top so I'm going to experiment next with the plugs we use in the big power porkers and try direct port meth as its a pretty cheap upgrade from single port.  The car feels very strong on the rollers though you'll know what I mean by that, even with the retarders set at 40% it pulls through turbine smooth just like a rocket, it feels like your in a gear lower than you actually are Its a very wide power band indeed!

Probably more like £5k when you add in all the other bits needed over stage 2+. Still cheaper than a GTX3071 and it will have way less turbo lag.

Ill see if I've got any GT28 dyno plots on the server still , they spool around 2850 but I always felt no useable power till 4200 ish, I've got some scoob ( sorry for swearing ) GTX30 & 35 plots I can post , the flat fours flow air really well but still nothing useable before 4k, I always felt a bit of a hooligan driving a 28 or 30 powered car, you seem to be screaming them everywhere to make good progress, no arguement for top end power though just look at the compressor maps on the GTX Garretts they do have top end pooof that's  for sure

Been in Steve`s car today and can say it feels alot faster and smoother (as the graph suggests) than my old GIAC Extreme + file I had on my old car.

Car is very drive-able with a constant pull of torque.

Well done , sure more to come from this turbo.

So Chaps here's the next stage
The Direct port meth set up we'll use, an easy upgrade for anyone just make sure its jetted correctly so you don't damage the engine
We've stayed away from the alloy stage 1 & 2 manifolds for this setup simply for heat soak reasons and again to keep costs down.
The  current tune on the car is not intended for WMI at all, now we can tune safely for just that
We'll carefully try to dial more ignition into the map whilst not dampening the knock sensors as some tuners do, safety will still be built into the tune

We are starting hardware specific tunes A.S.A.P , there will be a certain hardware base kit needed to reliably run the turbo and then upgraded tunes for more and more capable setups.
Some internal mods will be required at the higher stages of tune but will still be based on a stock head (very slightly modified) and stock bottom end with some subtle but necessary mods, 
(By this I don't mean a built engine)

All 2WD maps will be heavily torque limited in the first few gears although 4WD will be balls out but may need gearbox mods dependent on use

Well went up to see Steve today been there all morning. Ive known him for over two years now & hes worked on everything on my car & hes a top bloke. I went out in the golf today & am really impressed with the turbo & no doubt the work Steve is doing. To say this car isnt running a map for this setup yet & its running the way it does is impressive. Yes the car spins in 2nd even with 888s & a little in 3rd but after showing me a few 3rd & 4th gear runs to ---mph its really quick & cant wait to see the work finished to see what it can really do.

Just to give you an idea how good this is even at this stage in the development today while I was there his mate came in an stage 1 710bhp rs6 & rolling 30 & 40+ the golf just pulled away from it!!

Over 1500bhp right there!

There talk of a very heavily instrumented stripped out car for development purposes, bit of a showcase for me with the brakes, LOBA for the power and a project for ADS in tuning and datalogging everything from your normal tuning data through to suspension travel and G levels.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fw69%2Fdave_brown1970%2F845bf589.jpg&hash=7e196db0f3d2075cc7ee8cd3aa1c256f963df671)

There some clever kit out in the US which as opposed to giving real time telemetry will dump each lap to a trackside transponder.

Im interested in these IR heat sensors which are double accurate both for braking and for measuring tyre temps

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fw69%2Fdave_brown1970%2Fa44cb965.jpg&hash=c7f3a63a63636e6fcb39a13f77a45d96f1c11eac)

The will is there just not the money at the mo!

Plan is to empirically test our own stuff and maybe hire the car out to other organisations to test their own kit and document the results. Lots of crap kit out there, should work well got some FIA licensed drivers within group and friendly to do some testing

In addition with the LOBA turbo it'll be a frickin hoot on track days and we can give sensible customers a go in a 450+ BHP Quattro car just for the crack....

Would you be so kind as to bring my V-box back aswell plz ?  got some logging to do now hah  :laugh:

So come on then If you fellas don't buy an R soon, suppose I'll have too,
We need to knock Stertman 's car off the top 1/4 mile spot (nice fellas that they are :happy2:)

Let's try and prove us Brits are good for something At least!!!

As John and a few others know We are building a stripped DSG 4WD big power car for next years sprints
Should be good fun to see what this kind of set up can do when really pushed extreme etc

I checked the data logs with the old Hybrid John 303.4 maxed out @ 7350

As there is now talk of numbers produced by this turbo on Stattlers rollers . . . . . what sort of bhp does a strong K04 stg 2+ usually give on these rollers?
Im sure i have seen some dyno printouts of 380bhp +.

Just so we know where we are splodging

I've never had a Revo 2+ make over 360 on my road,  Tell you what though, bit of octane booster and trickery with the Timing settings, back the boost off a little on fresh plugs & a nice cool day and I reckon I could get it up around there give or take! Got a few in next week I'll give it a whirl if you want ? :smiley:

Gojinder's Cupra got approx 390bhp when he switched from Revo to GIAC. The print out was in the Dyno thread on here.

Thats the only print out i have seen from your rollers mind

Its good that the average is sub 360bhp though as this makes the LOba figures impressive.

Oh sorry I thought you meant  Revo not  Giac  :happy2:
TBH It's that long since I tuned Gojinders I can't remember the numbers it made but I can look them up quite easily
(but freaky actually ive not heard from him for ages but he's in soon for running issues ??)
I don't think it ever made 390hp, but I could be wrong had lots of sleeps and a big crash since then
The GIAC extreme + cars always made around 377's on octane booster with a race file
Dam Strong at the bottom end though
I'll check tomoz

Yeah i bought his SPS switch when he switched  :driver:

I remember being shocked by his results being so good at the time.
I was'nt trying to say the rollers read high, just getting a good idea of what they would measure a strong k04 2+ at. As a referance point if you like.

There's a few on here convinced that if your getting over 330 the rollers are broke. (JKM COUGH COUGH)
On SeatCupra.net theres a few that think they have 400amdbhp  :signLOL:

[/quote]
Sometimes especially with the GIAC cars we see big big power when freshly mapped
They normally settle after about 25-50 miles and aren't so aggressive and powerful after that
I think Garrett (GIAC's CEO) leaves quite a bit of safety in the ecu flash so it will learn to drop the aggressive ignition etc after the ecu starts to adapt
Like I said I've got a good few stg2+ cars in next week with good hardware and plenty of life left in em
I'll roll them back to back and overlay the graphs if poss
The Loba 4 should be a really cracking upgrade once it's tuned correctly.
were still finding more power in the tune as we go on
I would imagine soon we can reach the 450 without quite as much boost
It's early days yet.
All rollers read different, I know mines probably middle of the road. We see 380 WHP with the loba, most of the dyno's read similar WHP it's the calculation for the transmission loss that makes the big difference

BTW I know your not digging, I love tuning these things. It's like playtime every day at work  :laugh:

Yeah i got a graph at home i think it was about 390BHP Steve, and made about 330BHP with my settings and then made 350bhp with the revo stage 2+ run when Hurdy had a little play with my settings that day. car does go well with the GIAC extreme+file  :driver:

Personally on the 2.0 TSi I'm not sure I'd go for the Loba LO4XX even if it did fit okay. They don't seem as strong once tuned. Shaun (Geordie) went from a 2.0TSi to a 2.0TFSi as he wasn't getting a reliable high output from the TSi. IIRC he went through turbo's?

The TSI engine is nearly as strong as BWJ, CDL etc. It can handle nearly as much power so the loba should be a viable option. Just dont go near a track with it  :scared:

The APR K04 upgrade is expensive. Its much cheaper to get a K04 from Loba and an AWE DV relocate kit . . .  .sorted!!

Your right about Shauns car, it had oil pick up issues and we decided it may have damaged the engine as it happened so many times, it ran some mental oil temps too so prob contributed to it
You can't baffle the sump properly because of the balancer shafts taking up room
But you could easily mod it to be deeper with a longer pick up
The FSi has 150 bar fuel pressure standard and Loba have a 200 bar pump in testing
So fueling is far better than even a K04 car with an autotech rail pump!
The 210 brake motor has same comp ratio as the K04 motor too

Loba si was talking about lowering the price of this turbo when the LO4xx comes out. Would be better than running wmi for sure, would be even better in addition to wmi.

As a few have said, it would be worth it if their k04 had gone pop.

Also funny that as predicted when everyone jumped ship fom REVO, it'd only be a matter of I've before something cropped up that would rival APRs offerings. Nothing has changed in the last decade eh :signLOL:

Hi guys

LO380 been around for some time 2 or so years if I recall correct, sold many in Europe only a few in the UK

I have customers at 390+ ps and 540+ Nm I do think if in the right hands over 400 could be obtained with this unit seeing what numbers guys make on stock units If to be belived ?

Hi Si, any word on pricing of the 380 as i think i remember you mentioning you were gonna review it once the lo4xx was nearing production.

I know quality stuff costs £££ so im not expecting crazy price drops.

....Without getting into a debate about wheelspin, are your turbo's particularly different in what they add to the power such that wheelspin actually is the choice of the driver? You could say that it's always the choice of the driver but I think we all know that mega powered FWD cars can be a bit too tricky to kill wheelspin reliably.

^ This may be a naive or ignorant question, but your LOBA turbo sounds as if it is a better product than the others currently available.

Post by: LOBA SI on July 13, 2012, 10:34:49 am
to be honest we dont design a turbo thinking about wheel spin, tuners can map and limit as steve has now on this project,   we do try to design a nice spool and so , but of course a FWD high powered car will be a handful but for me its a trade off maybe for some maybe not,  ive ridden big bikes for many years 180bhp + through 1 wheel with a contact patch 3x 4 in ... ive also enjoyed small 250 and 400 type bikes

what im saying is differant things appeal to differant folk and at the end of the day YOU as the driver or rider is controlling the machine,  and its fun to have lots of power for me anyhow  :evilgrin:

Not much difference. I think it is just how VW have set up the software over Audi. The ride feels better on the VW and the feedback through the steering feels different too.

After owning 5 golfs and having the first R32 in Scotland l was thrilled to hear that the R32 was being carried over to the next face lift. But after driving a regular golf and then sitting inside a new R32 l found there was little or no difference, except leather seats. A walk next door and a sit in the S3 did it for me. As for the Golf R, yes it is over priced.

^ What every girl wants: A new turbo!

From chungster's post I can see how critical and important it is that the right map is developed to work in very close liaison with this LOBO turbo. Would the LOBO turbo run okay without the potential for any damage to other components when the map was switched to 'stock'?

It feels to me like the perfect trade off for a fwd car. The torque takes a little longer to peak and doesn't have the over boost spike of the OEM KO4, which means it is more controllable. It is less laggy than a Garrett turbo and so the power band is a lot more day to day useable. Add to this that the DSG copes admirably and no engine internal upgrades are needed and you have a true winner of an upgrade. Well done Loba is all I can say.  :notworthy:

No, the specs are MUCH more impressive than that. It is more of a "Frankenstein" turbo than a hybrid KO4 turbo. Also has work done on the manifold too. I could tell you, but then Steve at Statllers would have to kill me! :laugh:

Nail on the head, I suppose this is the next stage really for a platform that basically cannot be beaten by anything more modern or three times the price, the Golf 5 based cars are IMHO that good even still today. (and I've driven some very heavy metal today indeed)

The Loba 4x unit is made from two very expensive turbo's that's the problem, its a good unit though, the compressor map is awesome.

We played with the torque limiters for the extra power here that's all.
We will be ignition fine tuning next week for use with the plasma coils as they recover way too fast and actually cause the ecu to pull timing back at the top thing is, the fueling trims, timing and intake temps are scarily stable throughout the pulls even with the dyno brakes set to 40%

The torque is capped in the map hence the flat curve so not to kill the stock clutches in the box, we have a great map on this box and have spent lots of time with clutch pressure demand, a bone stock K04 will surge to 400ftlbs on out of control overboost but never sustain torque like this, they drop off instantly, I can overlay graphs next week to show everyone
We could probably squeeze 450ft lbs with this but then we are totally missing the point of the whole excersise which is drivability and component life
If massive power is what an individual wants then there's lots of options as we all know but you'll need a big wallet and built motor (& gearbox)  :smiley:

We suspect its the plasma's AL, the car drives much smoother with them but it kills the advance right at the top, as we've already discussed they recover way to quickly at high Rpm
We might yet have to drop some ignition out of the top end to bring the power back in, we'll see next week
I'm custom tuning next week for this problem, just waiting for the byteshooter to be repaired first

Anyone else got this turbo yet?

Seems to die off at 6.2k.  Have you got a boost plot Steve?

Still interested in this turbo but can't justify spending the money that's being asked, for a development turbo.

We suspect its the plasma's AL, the car drives much smoother with them but it kills the advance right at the top, as we've already discussed they recover way to quickly at high Rpm
We might yet have to drop some ignition out of the top end to bring the power back in, we'll see next week
I'm custom tuning next week for this problem, just waiting for the byteshooter to be repaired first
Yes mate they are a pretty penny indeed but if you saw one up close I'm sure you'd have to have it

HI, are you ivolved in the REVO software on this? or have i missed out on this info in this tread?
As i hope to get one of these and get some REVO SW for it i follow this closely  :drinking:

Revo & Giac will both offer tunes for this turbo I'm almost 100% confident of that
We would certainly hope to offer our customers the option of the two as were a dealer for both companies and in my opinion they are the main big guns out there
We can still turn the loba up some more for sure and I will soon, I don't particularly want to kill this motor as it's always been one of my favourites, we've been through a lot together  :love:  but I have plenty of these and enough spares to keep a race team going for a few seasons so I won't cry too much if it does expire
We're also tuning with evomsit as of next week for this APP, Todd builds me absolutely mind blowing tunes for the Porsche's Ferrari's and Lambo's, and he knows the MED9's inside out!

I like the 135i's with the DCT box really nice little motor, I bought one just to sell on a while back it had the BMW performance pack with their own zorst etc, sounded lovely like a baby M5!. For a keeper it would have to be the 1M for me but don't think I could leave it at just a map  :wink:

You just shift the OBD port, 15 minute job. Might cost you a new window if you're unlucky enough to have someone try, but they're not taking the car.

BOT Very impressive figures and delivery, still quite a narrow power band, but I guess you have to work with what you've got and keep it reliable.

My 135i now has 400+ and probably 430+ by the end of this week. Stg1 on stock engine will see 370hp.

Mods for this are:

£300 downpipes
£500 stg2 map.

I also have bilsteins and quaife LSD, stock brakes ate brembo 6pot and I have Pagid RS29 pads. main thing with this engine (N54) is that they have steel crank, rods, forged pistons, solid 1 piece valves etc.... So very very solid base. Later N55 engine is not as well built, hence BMW using the N54 for the 1m.

The torque at stg2 is immense, over 350ftlb from 1800-6300rpm and a peak of over 400ftlb. I keep wanting to buy an E92 M3 but the 135i literally destroys them for straight line speed.

I always fancied a 4 pot 4wd Golf, and have been looking at prices of 02M gearboxes and rear diffs and haldex.....not expensive.

Coupled with a Loba, would make a helluva motor.

The beemers sound interesting....I drive a 335 on a weekly basis as I 'look after' my bosses (means cleans and puts fuel in it!) but I get to take it on some decent journeys....awesome car. ITs the auto with the paddles so would probablt prefer a manual but it does go well with the standard 305hp. Sounds great too!

Yes Rob ofcourse very soon!
We are still trying to max this thing out not de-tune it  :wink:
I'm tuning bespoke with Todd at evomsit as of today, BTW the particular one off GIAC tune I've ran for 2 years will work fine we know that now (this was never an off the shelf map it's very special indeed)
We will make different files for 2WD / 4WD cars, for WMI users, and for pump fuel users I would guess all with linear throttle at this power
We will also be able to tune for different diameter intakes no problems at all
Si wants me to turn the WMI off for a few runs, I'll do that next for everyone to check out on here,  it will still run strong I can guarantee that!
For my car I want the MP WMI as I want it as strong as possible and we'll tune for that too we won't be numbing the knock sensors like some do, it will still have saftey built in to the map and were working hard on drivability, although as the few who have driven it will back me up that it drives beautiful now, very controlled and civilised its 99% there already and I'm very very particular about this, it feels stronger than ever off throttle and super crisp, builds speed very fast with no fuss or noise
I'll post up some more runs without the Meth for you.
Just So everyone knows we have always run 99 V power never race fuel on this car, this map is not tuned for WM at all, some think were not telling the truth, I 100% am!
The last thing I want is one of our cars running 450 + on my rollers then 380 on some other rollers  :grin: it won't happen !
My own car will not be softened it is what it is, if it lets go we find the weakness that's the sacrifice I am always willing to make on our mules,
I would guess 420-425hp is a going to be a safe bet on pump fuel with very good hardware and the ability to turn it up a little if need be
I have a Revo stage 4 update file Kev sent me with some minor tweaks I'll test it very very soon for you Revo chaps out there   :innocent:

it will still have saftey built in to the map and were working hard on drivability, although as the few who have driven it will back me up that it drives beautiful now, very controlled and civilised its 99% there already and I'm very very particular about this, it feels stronger than ever off throttle and super crisp, builds speed very fast with no fuss or noise


....Driveability is everything in my opinion - Power is useless without traction etc. You are to be applauded for making driveability such a priority  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

Makes me wish I had a K04 car and still had plenty of money!



The last thing I want is one of our cars running 450 + on my rollers then 380 on some other rollers  :grin: it won't happen !


....JKM's Dyno-Dynamics is the rollers which has the reputation for low figures (personally I view them as realistic). We all know what a lottery rollers can be. It's a long way down south to JKM in Portsmouth though our friend John Hurdy has done it (of course!!), but you would be particularly welcome at our next Dyno-Day:

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,46771.0.html

^ If there's even the faintest chance of you coming I better list you provisionally now because it's filling up fast and has a max of 30 runners.  :happy2:

I'd say Judging by the figures of air intake mass were seeing with the Loba were on the button power wise. I suppose the math can't really lie
The Maha runs around middle ground for reading power & torque, I am aware of this
My Dyno sofware Guy (Rudi@TAT Dynosystems in Germany) has spent lots of time fine tuning the software so the Graph replicates how the car drives real world road conditions, ask anyone who's used it and that's exactly what they say about the graphs
I could quite easily have Rudi recal the software to read lower but I think the figures are spot on going on the stock cars we run on it
I think Hurdy ran 228 on JKM's without the meth & the Plasma's (and a few other tweaks we've done recently) he ran 255 on mine last Saturday but similar torque on both rollers
So under 10% out on JKM's but not taking into account he now has more power with the WMI & Plasma's, this could be as low as 5% compared to JKM's?
The Loba should still be well into 400's on the DD roller set   :smiley:

Post by: Hurdy on July 27, 2012, 03:29:38 pm
There's a few prices being mentioned, but nothing concrete yet.

Bear in mind that there could be several states of tune available for this turbo, there will also be several states of hardware that the car would need to make it reliably fast and safe.

The turbo is only one part of this equation, albeit the main one! :smiley:

Upgrade injectors are one piece of kit that would be needed.

As John says we run 235 888's on the front and 225 R1R's on the rear
I know we're well past the safe limit of the engine's envelope now @ 445ftlbs but we'll still going to try and push beyond 470hp before the weekend
Lots of things are under major strain at this power and torque, fuelling is being tested even though it's heavily uprated
Some other bottle necks have popped up but the cars still strong and smooth on the road, the 4th,5th and 6th gear acceleration is mind blowing we still have over 400lbs of torque @ 6000 rpms and you sure can feel it :laugh:

It's a Good figure, but obviously as has been stated how long will it last! The engine obviously needs to be uprated to run this sort of power consistently. In the R which obviously you have John I'd love to see the outcome if you are planning on updating your internals and the 4wd, however if anyone was planning this through a fwd then I think it's pointless other than just an exercise to see what the engine is capable of.

Cant see this as a 500hp daily , was out in Jamie Kips Stg2+ TTRS today at 440BHP and its plenty fast enough for everyday usage. I would venture the 500 figure is a headline figure.....just imagine the area under the curve at 440bhp...

You could dial in the full 500hp for inters and high days and holidays, but keep it reasonable for everyday use...would probably give 40mpg too!

Needs to be said its only recently that the five holer has been putting out these kind of figures....makes you wonder what the plan is for the LO500+........600?

As you've said there dave, the 5holers are 4wd so it isn't an issue. Even 600 if achievable is fine and will be phenomenal so long as they can sort the dsg clutch to deal with it or drop the torque back a bit so to doesn't rip them to bits! :happy2:

I honestly thought that 450bhp would be a great figure to have with this turbo and associated hardware. I didn't even think that 500+bhp would be on the cards  even in development. As has been said, this is a game changer. I also agree that 420bhp with stock internals on an ED30/Cupra/S3 would be fantastic, especially considering the fact that I've driven this car more than once and it still remains tractable on 235 section R888's as it doesn't have the peaky spike of a K04. The redline comes around sooooo fast at the top end on full throttle that the DSG Steve is running on his car (he has a Quaife upgrade, and DSG map, but still stock clutchpacks) almost becomes a godsend in the first three gears.

Although I'm staying stock on my .:R!!  :innocent: :laugh:

looking at this turbo, seems like its well and truly got APRs big turbo kit covered and any other Garrett Turbo based kit. One f the guys on VAGOC, S3Alex, has a GT3071 kit with REVO software and he's only around 480hp!!

So this turbo is GT30 territory which is mighty impressive, even if, assuming its a generous dyno, overreading by 10%, it would still give 450hp!!

Been keeping up with this thread as I am very interested in the developements;....but I can see it being a real headache in a manual car? The DSG is going to be smoothing out the power delivery lovely, but in a manual it is going to be a neck\driveshaft\ conrod snapper at each gear change, as the torque blasts back in!

Not flaming here, just keen to understand if these figures are going to be the domain of DSG boys only.

I read that you were going to do a manual only map, how do you think this would differ from the DSG map.

The manual cars could really do with flat shift writing in! ?:party:

Brilliant progress so far tho boys.

Hiya chaps just got in from a busy day,
Dom the Revo file was a Beta test stage 4 with some tweaks
We are using a manual boost controller with mutil port WMI injection & big ass jets and it's hungry believe me!
The runs yesterday were all flat out & maxed the car still drove very good but were just starting to run out of fuel at high load & high RPM at this power and sustained torque (still over 400lbs @ 6000k)
The Revo flash has linear throttle and we have very good control of boost, although this is just a test flash only to explore the boundaries,
We made over 400WHP on each run best was 419 I believe
The brakes are Loba / Dave's set up and very strong (RS4 / lambo calipers and AP / Loba floating discs) although they are very blue today  :driver:

The runs yesterday were all flat out & maxed the car still drove very good but were just starting to run out of fuel at high load & high RPM at this power and sustained torque (still over 400lbs @ 6000k)
The Revo flash has linear throttle and we have very good control of boost, although this is just a test flash only to explore the boundaries,
We made over 400WHP on each run best was 419 I believe
The brakes are Loba / Dave's set up and very strong (RS4 / lambo calipers and AP / Loba floating discs) although they are very blue today  :driver:
Jim I thought I PM'd you back ? Your more than welcome to pop over just let me know when



Sorry, i might have missed it, but have you uprated  the LPFP?
What are you estimate for this turbo without W/M?  :drinking:

Been keeping up with this thread as I am very interested in the developements;....but I can see it being a real headache in a manual car? The DSG is going to be smoothing out the power delivery lovely, but in a manual it is going to be a neck\driveshaft\ conrod snapper at each gear change, as the torque blasts back in!

Not flaming here, just keen to understand if these figures are going to be the domain of DSG boys only.

I read that you were going to do a manual only map, how do you think this would differ from the DSG map.

The manual cars could really do with flat shift writing in! ?:party:

Everything's uprated, In tank walbro high flow, Autotech Rail, RS4 injectors and trus, were trying an RS3 intank Right now
The torque is the fuel killer it's giving over 440ftlbs flat from 4000 to 6300 rpms
This can be backed off easy but were using this car as a test bed for the 4WD time attack car so ramping it to the max!!

Stop messing and get a turbo Mike Im sure APR would love to map it for you  :laugh:

Just saw that.  Shame really as Si is a top bloke.  

It it did seem that JC was being outwardly harsh on him, but that post where JC posted up all his previous responses in that thread a few days back and justified each one pretty much showed otherwise.  Even vRSAlex mentioned about the EGTs being potentially being a sticky point, which was the main question that seemed to be getting asked.  Lest be fair, if EGTs get really high at stage 2+ on the K04, maybe they are right and adding another 100Hp to the eqyation could push them even higher.  We dont know as it wasnt answered.

To be fair both of them were doing it, not just in that thread, but also others on there.  Its pretty amusing to read it over facebook and the various forums.  They are all at it  :grin:

NEWSFLASH!!

Next faze for the Loba car is a fully built motor, (this will be the motor that will eventually go in our 4WD car)
& a stand alone EGT / AFR kit so everyone can see the data @ different boost pressures once & for all

If you want  big power with the associated lag then go for a big turbo! (I am on one of our sprint cars that's for sure!)
For a good fast road car the 4XX is unbeatable its very very strong at the top even using the stock N75 never mind an EBC
If you want more power than a stock K04 with more flexibility than a Garrett then go for a 4XX it's great inbetween option

Best thing for all to do now is let the cars do the talking, there are lots of excellent tuners on here so lets crack on it'll be good spirited fun!!   :evilgrin:

No I had to use an ITG which carries over the stock size Afm housing for the Revo flash,
 I always have a few intakes in to test so its no problem to keep swapping them over
Revo sent me another flash to try next week, I'll post the data up along with the EGT readings :wink:

Hello Statller from APR,

I was curious as to your statement above and was hoping you could clarify it for me.

Its common knowledge that the standard BW Ko4 is almost as large as a Garrett GT28RS if you measure the compressor wheels.

One size up in Garrett's line is a GT2871R.

The only appreciable difference between a GT28RS and a standard ko4 are the exhaust wheel size, exhaust housing and compressor cover sizes and the inlet to the compressor wheel, all of which are slightly larger to much larger in the Garrett units.

That being said, and from the dyno graphs you've shown of the Loba achieving peak torque around 4000-4500 rpm's, how is that this hybrid can be considered in between a standard ko4 and a proper Garrett GT28RS and GT2871R?

This is the number 1 question out there about this hybrid turbo and I am genuinely asking so you can help me understand.

Yes, I work for APR and we prefer Garrett turbo's to any turbo put together from parts not designed or intended to work together and not manufactured by a company with the proper equipment and resources to do so but the results are the results so even tossing all of that aside, I am truly curious as to your opinion in this matter as you stated above however, I was hoping you had some more technical information or data you could share that points to such?

Thanks!

The only appreciable difference between a GT28RS and a standard ko4 are the exhaust wheel size, exhaust housing and compressor cover sizes and the inlet to the compressor wheel, all of which are slightly larger to much larger in the Garrett units.

That being said, and from the dyno graphs you've shown of the Loba achieving peak torque around 4000-4500 rpm's, how is that this hybrid can be considered in between a standard ko4 and a proper Garrett GT28RS and GT2871R?

This is the number 1 question out there about this hybrid turbo and I am genuinely asking so you can help me understand.

Yes, I work for APR and we prefer Garrett turbo's to any turbo put together from parts not designed or intended to work together and not manufactured by a company with the proper equipment and resources to do so but the results are the results so even tossing all of that aside, I am truly curious as to your opinion in this matter as you stated above however, I was hoping you had some more technical information or data you could share that points to such?

Thanks!


Hello Kieth from APR!

So not to make this too boring for everyone else right now lets keep it nice and simple
We actually need to use a Garrett setup on our sprint car so no problems with the GTX series for the amazing top end!
Regards lag I was talking more Gt30's not 28's as all the GT28 cars I've fitted up have never set me on fire regards out + out performance over even a stock K04 although I've never fitted an APR kit so maybe they could be better???

Suppose we're lucky that we've have had the opportunity to try both setups and compare where as you can only go on my opinion so its a little unfair for you, maybe you should buy a Loba to test ?


Just for now let me post the Lobas true EGT's up for everyone as that seems the main concern.

If you need the Lobas specs e-mail Darius Loba I'm sure he'll talk turbo spec all day long, I've tried to get a compressor map but its hard work

Regards spool I'm talking useable accelerative power not where the turbo peeks
How are you going on with everything now? anything exciting happening?

Thanks

NEWSFLASH!!

Next faze for the Loba car is a fully built motor, (this will be the motor that will eventually go in our 4WD car)
& a stand alone EGT / AFR kit so everyone can see the data @ different boost pressures once & for all

If you want  big power with the associated lag then go for a big turbo! (I am on one of our sprint cars that's for sure!)
For a good fast road car the 4XX is unbeatable its very very strong at the top even using the stock N75 never mind an EBC
If you want more power than a stock K04 with more flexibility than a Garrett then go for a 4XX it's great inbetween option

Best thing for all to do now is let the cars do the talking, there are lots of excellent tuners on here so lets crack on it'll be good spirited fun!!   :evilgrin:

Thanks, that makes more sense that you were comparing it to something like a GT3076 but to be fair to the 30 series turbo's, the hybrid is 100bhp off in power delivery.  I personally don't like 30's on 2 liters of displacement.

What have you seen with 2871R's on 2.0TFSI's?  We see peak torque around 3300'ish rpm's and peak power of 480bhp with other supporting mods of course, but at a lot less than 3.2k GBP for the turbo and manifold assembly.

Right now we are on a GTX2867 and I see peak torque at 2900'ish rpm's and we have it up to 480bhp as well.

After the late 90's early 2000's, I never thought I would see anyone even try a hybrid turbo, lol.  I guess history repeats itself.

In our testing, we found that the runner and collector size leading in to the turbine on the standard ko4 was creating such a restriction that we had to retard timing quite a bit.  What is your actual timing at peak RPM?  Do you have the proper data logging tools to see it?  VCDS doesn't show a true actual timing angle after all compensations have been applied nor can you see which compensation strategy is the reason for the reduction in timing request.

Because of the runners and collectors choking off the exhaust flow beyond 380'ish, we developed the Stage 3 manifold and switched to a turbo with a larger exhaust housing.  This is why we have a Stage III, otherwise it would have been a much less expensive solution to try something like a hybrid.

Even today, we are upsizing in turbocharger once we hit the timing limit of whichever exhaust housing we are using at that moment.  The Stage III manifold is designed to flow a ton but on 30 series turbo's we've found that even a GT25 flange can be a point of restriction and that is much larger than the standard collector on a k04.

I was told the car had a problem with timing at high rpm, so what I describe above could be the issue you are facing  (don't know if that's true or not, that's what somebody told me).  If you need my datalogging, you can come down to the office some day and we can put it on the dyno and see.

Evan and I need to get up your way soon, we can bring a Stage III car if you have a free afternoon and you can run it around and take a look first hand.

Good luck with the project, let me know if I can help in any way.  The customer service you guys provide seems top notch so I expect your clients will be happy or you'll at least die trying!  Can't ask for more than that.

What comp wheel size would the TTRS turbo compare to on a Garrett turbo?  The Loba just uses a TTRS CHRA welded to the K04 mani/hotside does it not?

Still cant see how a TTRS Loba hybrid can produce 500FWHP (360WHP on a Maha (420WHP on anything else!)) with 5 cylinders, more fuel etc and the LO4xx can produce the same with one less piston and a more restrictive mani.

What is being said is the LO4xx will flow the same as a GTX3071?

Lag is only in existance for those who cannot select the correct gear.  :driver:

Well if you want to tug at that thread (pardon the pun) things got out of hand and in fairness it would have got moderated anywhere else quite a bit sooner, as long as people declare their interests are open and discuss the products in an open minded way then I'm sure we can all be grown up and find out about this turbo...bang for buck it could be a game changer.

My point being this is the only place with info on the product, there's some tech questions been asked and hopefully the answers will be forthcoming soon

I suppose we all have our little problems when things are pushed so far up the envelope even with the right equipment things can always go wrong once or twice but as you know that's what tunings about getting it perfect in the end then passing on a great product and seen as your working for a long established company I would imagine you've had lots of practice so no doubt you should be good
 
I'm not saying the Lobas perfect or for everyone or any other turbo on sale, its just another option to consider for the environment its inteded for surely we've got to give new products a chance before we dismiss them
 
Not trying to discredit the BT setups I like them and need to use them for some other projects but personally for I don't like them in a road car not when a modern diesel can catch you out so easy in this day and age
I'll prob be running GTX's on the 997 in the end as I don't use it too much on the road I suppose its the only way to achieve the performance I'm wanting from that particular one as we get ever hungry for more speed
 
 

I think it would be good for APR to bring along some cars to Marham or Vmax at some point, I'd genuinely (and I don't mean that patronisingly at all) like to see them run the high speed events not just 1/4 miles everyone knows I love these events and I do give credit where its due its a good event for the kind of expert tuning your talking about, I've seen a few APR cars run before but maybe they weren't set up quite right
 
By the way thanks for offer of help I'll let you know if we need any, its always good to have an expert on hand, I suppose if we all tried to plz everyone 100% of the time then we'd all die trying

The main ignition problem was due to the Plasma coils recovering too fast, so the ignition had to be retarded a little to stop the car trying to compensate so much                                   
 
Back onto topic I'll post the EGT's from the Loba on here when the kits is fitted

In all honesty i think its a good idea.  I said it to Si, if he wants to shut up all the doubters fo good, then JKMs rollers is the way to do it.

Many say their rollers are very very accurate, others say they read too low.  But NO ONE ever says it reads high!!!

You make 400hp+ on those rollers on a rolling road day with other K04 cars to compare against, bearing in mind Stage 2+ REVO cars with all the bolt on mods make 330hp max, and there will be no doubting the turbo any more.  

By the way all this talking about flanges is getting me excited   :love:

You make 400hp+ on those rollers on a rolling road day with other K04 cars to compare against, bearing in mind Stage 2+ REVO cars with all the bolt on mods make 330hp max, and there will be no doubting the turbo any more.  


....There's currently just 2 places left on the next JKM Dyno-Day:

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,46771.0.html

But perhaps 27th October is too soon. The next is unlikely before next February at the earliest.

Hi Graeme hope your well mate!  :wink:

I will do it eventually I promise just for the laugh but can't do it now as were just too busy at work
I have the RS build to start soon and the sprint car,  Id like to run them both at Marham along with the LOBA Car & 997t

Yep better be dry at the 30-130 next year!! even our 4wd car struggled to put it down last year

Are back for Marham Si you running yours down there?

Yeah the two 996's were spinning up to.

Seeing as you have gone to the next level or two now we had better bring something quicker along ourselves next year to give you some competition!

Tbh though I think if it was dry all 3 Porsches would have cracked 200mph and did 9 sec 30-130's as they where.

Yaz and the other mad chap who was driving his 996TT were a good laugh I hope he goes next year!
are you going Pov?
We should have just a little more than we had at Vmax 200 with the larger VTG housings, Todds made me another tune a little leaner with more ignition at the top end but right now were on the 7250 limiter after 1.3 miles so need longer gearing
I know there's still a lot faster cars out there than mine but I do love running the standing mile and V max events now it really is addictive, I'd eventually love to build the 997 into a true 1000WHP car but even then there's always someone faster and madder   :stupid:
Title: Re: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: Poverty on October 02, 2012, 02:03:07 pm
Yeah we will all be there again next year. Two of the TTRS didn't run last year due to last minute breakdowns :(

Next year I anticipate the tt's running around the same time as the 996 turbos whilst we should have a GTR along with us that should give you a run for your money.

What MPH did she top out at? I watched one of the vids from your 997 with the new mods and it just looked mental. Crazy you can hit the limiter in such a short distance.

I have to agree, these 30-130/v-max style events are my favourite.

1000whp, are you trying to take off lol  :signLOL:
Title: Re: LOBA LO4XX Hybrid K04 Turbo
Post by: Statller-Stevo on October 02, 2012, 03:16:54 pm
Well you know what its like we always want more more more!!    :party:

We see 205-206 GPS on the limiter at 7250rpms

It will pull the limiter quite easy but we know its stretching the rods a bit at those constant revs so we'll have to pull it and build it soon, I have the parts to do it now but I suppose it'll end up 4.0 with two 35's strapped to it in the end
The problem is stopping from say 220 at Marham / Brunters, I would imagine it could be a real Poo panter but fun!!  :laugh:
I'll tell you now and you'll understand what I mean by this even a true 650-700whp car makes the Loba golf look like a 1.0 Corsa!

Remember though 1000whp is around 1mpg on 800cc injectors so you use over a gallon per run  :signLOL:

When is it?  Id like to run it, im back in the UK in November, but im away with work alot, so its not something i can book in advance. 

What was Johns target?  We'll be practically like for like for mods when it comes to it, the only differing thing will be software, so it will be interesting.  Ill get my excuse it, the Polo is lighter and more aerodynamic....... :innocent:

Id like to top the 1/4 mile board we have but need a 13.4 to do that, so its n o easy challenge,unless i completely strip the car out like that guy did.  once i have a decent time, i wont be doing any more then.  Makes me cringe everytiome i launch the car  :sick:

At Marham I wanted over 140mph and under 25 seconds and ended up with 143mph and 24 seconds for 30-130.

Remember it is uphill and was wet with a headwind, not good combos for a lightweight fwd car. :sad1:

Hopefully I will be there next year too with at least stage2+ and wmi and most likely with the Loba L04xx strapped on too :party:

Thanks Keith
I suppose we all have our little problems when things are pushed so far up the envelope even with the right equipment things can always go wrong once or twice but as you know that's what tunings about getting it perfect in the end then passing on a great product and seen as your working for a long established company I would imagine you've had lots of practice so no doubt you should be good
 
I'm not saying the Lobas perfect or for everyone or any other turbo on sale, its just another option to consider for the environment its inteded for surely we've got to give new products a chance before we dismiss them
 
Not trying to discredit the BT setups I like them and need to use them for some other projects but personally for I don't like them in a road car not when a modern diesel can catch you out so easy in this day and age
I'll prob be running GTX's on the 997 in the end as I don't use it too much on the road I suppose its the only way to achieve the performance I'm wanting from that particular one as we get ever hungry for more speed
 
 

I think it would be good for APR to bring along some cars to Marham or Vmax at some point, I'd genuinely (and I don't mean that patronisingly at all) like to see them run the high speed events not just 1/4 miles everyone knows I love these events and I do give credit where its due its a good event for the kind of expert tuning your talking about, I've seen a few APR cars run before but maybe they weren't set up quite right
 
By the way thanks for offer of help I'll let you know if we need any, its always good to have an expert on hand, I suppose if we all tried to plz everyone 100% of the time then we'd all die trying

The main ignition problem was due to the Plasma coils recovering too fast, so the ignition had to be retarded a little to stop the car trying to compensate so much                                   
 
Back onto topic I'll post the EGT's from the Loba on here when the kits is fitted
 
Like I asked before anything new and exciting going off down at APR?

Thanks for the reply.

I have yet do any of the 30-130 events, I do a lot with a pbox, lol so it should be good for us to go.

The most immediately exciting project we have right now is our Golf R.  We are OEM injectors and OEM DSG software and making 420bhp which is achieving 8.6 second 100-200km/h.

Next is a supercharged V8 R8 and finishing up the TTRS' we have with new manifolds and turbos.  Going to an external gate and GTX3076 after making ~600bhp on the GTX3071.

Cheers!

8.6seconds for the 62-124mph dash is quite tasty, especially on stock injectors and DSG software. What is your 0-100kph(0-62mph) time?. I need a drive of that R of yours. Stage 2+ for me in my Golf R tomorrow and some logs and PBox runs. Then WMI and then a turbo upgrade probably the Loba, but I'm open to alternatives Keith. :innocent:

Yeah, when I knew what the correct position was and I was on track or trying in roundabouts it was extremely noticeable.  Last couple of months have been all straight line stuff or I've been data logging and then not driving hard because before the DSG issues were resolved, it wasn't very fun.

I got the remote with mine, so the button tells me and I just press  :grin:


I ordered the damn remote with mine but got the switch.  Took the refund in difference of price instead of having them ship the right product.  Kicking myself now.


....Just leave it in 'Race'  :happy2:

I hear more of a whine from the haldex when driving long distances on the motorway or whatnot with it in Race than I do in ECO or Normal.  That's why I switch it.  Don't know if its even really true, just something I think I notice.  I haven't investigated it so it could just be me.

Oh I've already tested that on my old R32.  Haldex went out and I was too lazy to swap it.  Parts sat in the shop for a year back home with me thinking I would do the work to learn and because it would be fun.  So, I or Amanda drove it for a year in FWD mode and then when I sold it, I had the techs swap in the new haldex day before new owner picked it up.

That instant torque from the 3.2 kept the tires spinning all the time at low rpm.  It was terrible really.

No offense to anyone, but I hope to never have a FWD car again.

What has the turbocharger where R driven the 8.6 sec 100-200

APR Stage III which includes a Garrett Honeywell GTX2867.

ok thanks
what you can drive at maximum performance with this turbocharger

It really depends on all of the other modifications and the supporting hardware, ecu calibration, etc.

The limitation is fuel in the Golf R.  You can use RS4 injectors and an intank fuel pump and get up to 460-480'ish depending on what lambda you are comfortable with.

At 460bhp you will see .83-.86 lambda, timing advance of around 6-9 degrees.  If you want to be more aggressive (dangerous to longevity) you can push it a bit further.

Turbo is good for just about whatever you throw at it unless you want to fuel with meth injection, higher than 130bar high pressure fuel or auxiliary injectors.

We have tested a GTX3071r on a Golf R at .88 lamba, injectors similar in size to the RS4's at 150bar high pressure fuel with a timing advance around 6 and have achieved 550bhp.  That's way more aggressive than I would ever run my car or recommend to a client though.

We have lots of projects on the go right now as well as normal day to day stuff but when we get the time we'll jump back on the baby golf !
We're going to test the Loba with just 2+ hardware next and utilize the N75 just to see how it performs, so stock injectors no WMI etc
It shouldn't be too long now before there are concrete prices for certain power kits.

Bit Harsh Mick, I really don't know why you've gone so anti Loba all of a sudden ?  :sad1:
I also don't know whats gone off behind closed doors or prices mentioned to you or others, but I do know your not interested in this turbo so why don't we keep the thread on track & just keep testing it in different states of tune and see the results
If it works it works & that's all good if it doesn't then it's no problem as there's only me & Revo who have one at the minute in the Uk so no one else has lost out


Surley if the prices are made more competitive (if the turbo performs that is) its better for everyone interested ?

Sorry that you have taken that turn Mike.
As well as the Stage III of APR has a market i'm sure that this will have a place to fill. Having mine in the hand shows craftmanship above and beyond, so no faults it the item itself.

For goodness sake..

Pick up phone, speak to Simon and he'll tell you it's about €3200 which works out at about £2700-£2800 depending on exchange rate, they're on a shelf ready to ship.

How about approx 400-420 BHP on road fuel, stock inter cooler, stock in tank pump, Loba HPFP and injectors

Steve will tell you what else you need but I think this was at about 1.5 Bar with the so far "unproven" EGT issues from the mega high 2 bar boost map not even featuring, thinks its injectors its needs and an adapted intake which might even be an adapted OEm one.

looks totally stock, more power than Stage2+ and reckon on about 1 day to fit and about £4k plus map.

If you want to go for mega power turned right up all the time, then get all the stage 2+ bits straight away.

Me.....I'd be happy with DSG 4WD and a lazy 400 BHP 25-30mpg and enough torque to pull the side of your house off, mega reliability....drove a stage 1 RS3 once and it was quite religious...drove fantastic.

There's a load of bullsh*t around this turbo....don't believe all you read from people with vested interests in their own products, speak to them as well about their own Kits not other peoples whether its an AKS or APR or BSH or whatever and come to your own conclusions...

It's also fair to say LOBA don't try to rubbish the competition, that scores points in my eyes.

Start at 400BHP and as other tuning companies come on board buy more kit and up the power, at 400 BHP you won't need internals either, if Steves dyno is 10% out then its still 450 BHP max...on a generic map. Now here's the kicker...it's available on a £12k 57 plate S3.....you don't need to spuff 30-40k on a Golf R or TTRS to go

The price for the Turbo has only been out 10 days....all the speculation was just that....if you haven't ASKED the price then everybody is guessing ....its easily sorted by an email or a bloody phone call

Yes, there were more than a few people there and it raised quite a stir. Steve's car is still on stock internals (CDL block James). There were about 15 of us watching the run and a couple of guys off the RForum video'd it as well. He did 2 runs, one at 475 bhp and the following one was 476bhp, both made the power just before 7krpm. Looked like it would make even more power with an extended rev limit and the head built. This was just after a stock R made 266bhp and then just under 300 bhp at stage 1. Steve's dyno is a low/accurate reading dyno a bit like JKM's and I reckon it would be within 10bhp either way of the 475bhp figure if it ran there. For reference my R makes 360bhp on this dyno and that is with wmi. :happy2:

Even if it over read by 30Hp that would still result in an impressive result.

What mixture WMI and what sort of benefit are we talking about with direct port injection?  Single port WMI gives 10-20hp gains with a 50/50 mixture, with only minor alterations to timing, so id imagine direct port should be some impressive gains in comparison.  Similar to race fuel?

Yes the run was on 104 octane with 50% WMI on direct port running a 3 year old Giac map

Think if most people are honest you'll find lots of them running fuel sweeteners at dyno days, with a specific dyno map in some cases

475 hp (thats 500 + hp on Awesomes rollers) from a stock motor holding 380lbft from 5 to 7K rpms is no easy task I'm pretty sure if this kit was bolted to the block of the AKS hurst then it would be punted around everywhere @ £X claiming a greater victory than NASA landing men on the moon etc etc etc  :indifferent:

This is my daily driver to me it's still a low power baby which we don't spend a massive amount of time playing around with

Everybody who needs to know knows the figures this motor runs without the WMI pumping, Just to re-cap this runs 400hp on my dyno with no meth on a pump file at 1.7 bar (428 hp still in pump with single point WMI)

There's more coming soon from our new tuning partners @ Peron EP!   
BTW love the negative comments they keep us strong and determined where it counts  :happy2:

Make the figures a bit pointless if your running them all on 104 octane....  :popcornsoda:

:happy2: :happy2:

What sort of boost can it run or is 1.7 about the most without adding the WMI?  Would be interesting to see what this does with ported and polished head as well

Yes the run was on 104 octane with 50% WMI on direct port running a 3 year old Giac map

Think if most people are honest you'll find lots of them running fuel sweeteners at dyno days, with a specific dyno map in some cases


What sort of gains are the 104 Oct and the WMI are making individually over a no meth/pump fuel map, ie how much of the 75Hp is attributed to the 104Ron fuel and how much for the direct port WMI?

380lbft between 5-7k!! whats it peaking at then!!!!  4wd conversion needed there id imagine  :grin:

Whats the "safe" limit for this turbo boost wise regarding the EGTs etc when not using WMI or race fuel?#

Are you looking at WMI with yours?

Yes when i get some good results without and feel i have reach what it can do without WMI, then i will be fitting it as i don't do that many miles in it no more in everyday use  :happy2:

looks like a great result to me and yes it would be less on v power but so what, still interesting to see what it is capable of  :drinking:

Loba seem to be a bit like marmite... people sem to be genuinely excited about some of their products, or quite negative but in part is this not due to the competition being a little scared?

Statllers in house LOBA Motorsport GmbH LO4xx Golf DSG dyno graph from this Saturday (6-4-13) overlaid with a stock Golf Ed-30 DSG

GIAC race map with 104 octane and multi port wmi

lovely plateau of torque there.  Its the first time ive ever seen a spike in power torque that high up the rev range though  :confused: Looks like if it carrie don going up at the rate before the spike it would have been about 440-450hp ish. 

Intrigued what RPM thats at.  The power/torque curves will cross at 5252rpm on a graph with equal hp/lbft scales so LO4xx must be peaking at nearly 7k!! or am i looking at that wrong?

Post by: danishmkvgti on April 09, 2013, 09:20:00 pm
Seems right to me, mine also pulls to redline without a drop in torque

Post by: Statller-Stevo on April 09, 2013, 11:24:39 pm
The peak is just over 7 k rpm on the Race tune Si. ( stock Ed was 5850 )
The spike isn't really a power spike as such it's the way the dyno applies the brakes to keep a steady load, the more power the car has the more load it automatically applies, so the faster the power rises the harder the brakes are applied, as the dyno takes back control the brakes ease and you see a spike, the TAT software takes the spike into consideration before spitting a number out etc etc etc  :indifferent: ( getting drowsy now ! )

We're testing more hardware soon, keep an eye on Facebook I'm sure you'll have seen something similar before  :wink:

Jake I'll keep you posted you'll deffo be interested and want to try  :happy2:

Btw this run was under 27 pounds of boost,

Sure someone will jump in now with the nasties

Nooo Its not that mate although better valve springs are on the cards   :laugh:

Were teaming up with a new tuning partner testing some real exciting new hardware, that if all goes well will change even the way the stock K04's are tuned from then on   :wink:

Seems to me people are always going to say their bit and doubt people's claimed figures it doesnt matter who its from.

Some people from here may know me and some dont but i have known Steve and the lads a long time and i can say people dont understand how many times the cars ( going back to Craigs Ko4 also ) have been played about with trying various different things, basically since the first time they got there Ko4's they have been what i call lab rats having the shoot kicked out of them a lot more than most cars would get to see if they hold up and where can they push a bit more but then again still managing to be every day drivers.

If they blow an engine they can look in to where things went wrong as they want to know what can safely be done on there own cars so it doesnt happen to yours, they are happy to lap that cost up of an engine etc as one report of bad work can ruin any company and the work it gets in future for life and its basically same with his porsche.

What better way of showing what they can do than by spending money on his own cars and been out there doing it ? Its ok people saying we can remap your pride and joy but i know i would more positive knowing they had that car of there own they have done that work on and seen any issues it may cause or weakness you may see.

YOu've got me thinking now. You said its something similar that we have seen before.

You have WMI already so that's obviously out, its not a flowed head, so thats gone.  Id imagine its not nitrous a la Hurdy.  Valve train maybe?

Sounds intriguing, does this mean you can potentially squeeze more out of the stage2+ cars with the relevant mysterious hardware ?

Justin bought mine, and he had a blown turbo shortly after. I don't know the cause for the engine failure though
