OKies.. some of you will know of what we've been busy on recently on k04 exhaust manifold solution.. Facebook is the most up to date place to see our updates btw
https://www.facebook.com/Badger5Ltd
Anyhows.. We have commenced testing of the K04 hybrid AND High Flow K04 Exhaust manifold combo.
372bhp plot
K03 hybrid on Lupo compared to the BBT K04 hybrid on my new test K04 high flow exhaust manifold...
Looks promising power/temp wise.
EGTs max on the plotted run 825'c measuring in normal k04-023 position factory stylee.
I need a stiffer actuator.. This run was on 9psi actuator cranked to give 10psi actuator only boost.. Swapped to a forge one I had on shelf with white spring, and it ran less boost.. doh! 15psi BBT actuator to get asap and then continue with this and find the actual limit as I am not sure I'm there yet. EGTs being my guide, there's some left in it if I can hold more boost up top.
Very pleased with the result so far.
More mods to come to see what we get.
Manifold works fine

More to follow shortly... we're not done yet.
15psi Actuator being fitted now, add some fresh vpower (not the fuel which has been sat in there since July) and we will see what it can do.
