Quickest, cheapest way to 250bhp??

Hey all,

I'v got a Mk4 20vT...at the moment with an induction kit, dump valve and custom exhaust its running 161.1bhp...i'm after 250bhp on a budget...

Remap is the obvious answer to get it close...anything else i can do without safely without big turbo conversion??

Suggestions would be great!

 

ko3s and a remap and you might get 250 on an optimistic dyno.

 

A real 250hp needs a turbo change.

 

buy a stock Volvo T5 for 250bhp out the tin!!

 

Ah fair enough...i might get 200-220bhp with a remap though?

and Gareth i don't really fancy a Volvo

 

I'd say 200 if you are lucky using the stock turbo....all these big power claims from a simple remap should be taken with a pinch of salt...

 

250bhp needs a k04 or hybrid, plus a map to suit.

 

he'll get 250 easy with the dyno he's using if he's got 161bhp with just an induction kit and custom exhaust!
unless it's a 180 model, then your engine is dead!

 

As i said before mate, go for a custom code remap, you'll love it. What engine code is yours by the way? Mine is a Aum, which has a k03s turbo as standard, so you may have it already!
With the mods you have plus a remap i'd say you should be looking at atleast 210bhp, as this was what i was estimated when i had mine done. Anything over that then you'll be looking at bigger turbos, bigger front mount intercooler ect.

 

for 250bhp, k03hybrid, 380cc injectors, 80mm MAF housing and remap to suit

 

Bill, by k03hybrid, is that the k03 housing machined to accept the k04 cartridge? Do you supply? If so how much are we talking?

 

www.crturbos.co.uk make these.
Its not a regular K04, they use the larger RS6 turbine wheel.

mark@crturbos.co.uk is who I deal with

 

380cc injectors , do you know of any in the UK , i know USRT have them !?


Thanks Jo

 

Saab Redtops are 358cc , 414cc with a 4 bar. cheap option.

 

Something like these !? they are about the same as just one injector from USRT ,

i know the CC is tiny bit different but are these fine for a hybrid swap , im not planning on doing it on the cheap , but dont fancy paying about $250 dollars worth of postage and import fee's ,

Yes those are the saab ones but i think they are 346cc@3bars, but of course you can increase the fuel pressure as tshirt already said. When i was looking for mine i found a company that produced 380cc injectors for project cars and they also have an ebay seller.check this out if you want : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-380cc-FUE...CarParts_SM&hash=item5ad9d7a24e#ht_4047wt_907

 

Thats them. They are 350cc 0r 358cc according to this table

Can get a full set for the price of one of those. Clean them ultrasonically and your sorted

 

I don't think that table is correct.

 

I know that but he asked for a source to buy 380cc ones so that was my 2p.
