what else is needed when fitting a hybrid

[Mpathe]

now ive sold my corsa turbo im going to chuck the money at the s3, my plans are to fit cr hybrid turbo and some uprated conrods (from badger hopefully)
i just want to know what else i need to buy for it while im working on it and how do i go about mapping it. thanks mike

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

performance valves may be a good idea, i fitted some to my engine for safety.

Depends on how much you want to spend

 

[Welly]

Bill (Badger5) will be able to map it up for you as well.

I agree with valves, but then again, not a necessity.

You WILL need an FMIC. You WILL need a 3" downpipe and sports/decat. You WILL need a silicone TIP (As the OEM ones collapse under high intake load).


EDIT: Just saw you have downpipe and cat. D'oh!

does bill "badger" have a website? and do i need bigger injectors or are the std ones ok? thanks mike

 

[Welly]

www.badger5.co.uk

Not sure about the standard injectors as yet, waiting to see the outcome of a mapping session on another CR Stage 4 hybrid conversion.

www.badger5.co.uk...

I must get around to redoing the site

Until Bill gets to map Speedy Steves he won't know if the hybrid will need the bigger injectors... he has 440's lined up just in case...

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Do you think the stage 4 will hit the magic 300+ on the 1.8?

 

[<tuffty/>]

If anything is going to get close it will be this turbo

[Mpathe]

anybody know a rough price for mapping the s3 when the hybrid has been fitted?

 

[dela]

think its 550 plus vat

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

I've been quoted £450 + vat for mapping my 2.1

i spoke with autograph at burnley, you really do need to upgrade to a bigger inlet manifold to get the best out of a hybrid otherwise you will only be getting 15/20bhp more than a stage 2 s3, a lot of money for a few ponnies.

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Nothing wrong with the standard inlet maybe a bigger T/B

they either don't have any experiance with 1.8t or were trying to sell you something as afew on here have made the 300 mark without upgrading the inlet manifold

 

[shanejess]

sorry had 2 laugh, baz at autograph knows more about the 1.8t than badger and all the rest of us put together

 

[Mpathe]

so how has welly made 340bhp on the std inlet manifold?

 

[<tuffty/>]

Agreed... Welly is running a std mani and throttle body... its even small port despite having a large port head... he is making a reliable 340ish bhp on 22psi... thats a little more than 15/20bhp over a std K04...

Not saying a larger inlet wouldn't have an affect... couldn't tell you what it would be but the curve would change as would torque delivery, but to say you need one to get more than 20bhp out of a K04 hybrid is simply wrong... and we can actual prove it

[aragorn]

Tuffty, you yourself are running the stock inlet and have seen 370+ out of it have you not?

That I have mate... :thumbsup:

Although to be fair I might benefit from a SEM lol ;P

<tuffty/>

 

[superkarl]

is it not possible to bore the manifold out a little? although im sure you hybrid/BT boys would have tried already

 

[<tuffty/>]

I opened mine up to accommodate the R32 TB I now have but got the 383bhp on a std mani, small port head and 60mm TB...

There isn't much you can remove tbh but its the larger plenum you benefit from... cylinder 4 gets left out a bit on the std mani when shifting lots of air... SEM is the best flowing mani out there IIRC but its 800 odd quid so not currently high on my list

lol - whoever Baz is.. I dont know him.. I dont think
You dont know me.. so how do you know what I do or dont know.. LMAO.. Irrelvant that it is..

Anyhows....
You dont need an inlet manifold for k04 hybrid... nothing stopping you from adding one of course, its your money... but the gains vs outlay wont be favourable. SEM is a very good inlet mani..

Exhaust manifold is a must have before intake on a k04 hybrid.. but I am sure your mate knows this

Good luck..

Yawn.

I'm off for a snooze.

Then when I wake I'll go and buy and SEM to claim my extra horses....
