225 Turbo?

[ben_edwards30]

This is going to be a very stupid question to most of you but here goes... What turbo is fitted standard to my 225 ko3 or ko4? I'm only asking as i'm looking at stage2 mods soon so just wanted to know if i need a 4 bar fpr.

Cheers for any help.

LCR 225 has a KO4 turbo

thanks for the quick reply, and not laughing!

No worries mate, we're all human

If you don't know the only way to find out is to ask. The 'Search Button Police' (SBPD ) will just have to get over it.

Have a long hard think before you go for stage 2 mods.

Money is better invested elsewhere in the LCR IMO i.e, suspension, ARB's etc.

Or just save up for a decent Big Turbo conversion

just my 2p

Agreed, i think i may jus stick with S1 as to get the most out of S2 you really need a DP etc and all costs money. A S1 will do me fine i think.

and stage 2 doesnt make a huge difference over stage 1, an extra grand fo 10% more power... and a stage 1 still keeps up lol

I agree with the above, stage 1 is great, stage 3 is better, but stage 2 is kinda pointless if you ask me. If you want anything beyond stg 1 go the whole hog, get a bigger turbo and go stg 3 - or as Ruddmeister says, just go for stg 1 with ARBs and coilies and a weight reduction

It's so expensive to get that little bit more power that stage 2 is not really worth it, you can ditch the rear seats and spare wheel for free and it'll get you the same (well, similar) gains on the 1/4 mile!

If you've got money to burn, go BT

Or jus do what normal people do, instead of buying 10k worth of tuning gear to spin, buy an evo and tune it.

 

[20v reme]

buy an evo...na better to have a car quick enough to do over the evo...

 

[Shaunyboy]

While a fwd is spinning the evo will be gone, when i get one wel go santa pod and see eh

[Shaunyboy]

Good for you mate, probably cost more than is worth.

fair point but i wont be selling this car...

 

[GREY 225]

Going hybrid turbo can see 300hp with alot less hassle and expense compared to BT.

did you do a conversion, or do you live outside the UK?

you'd still need stage 2 mods for that, then its another £600-800 on top for the hybrid turbo...not to mention a front mount intercooler to go with it
