TIP + k04-001

[mazzerati]

Ordered a ko4-001 hybrid which is practically a ko3s I'm told

I've got a forge tip to go on it but I'm not sure I'm missing anything to make it fit?

Do I need one of these

But the one For a ko3s turbo?

Need info as fast as possible.. Hoping to do it all on Saturday...
Thank you

If you have a Forge TIP on your K03 it will fit the hybrid. The hybrid is basically a K03 or K03S housing with K04 internals so looks and fits the same as a K03. You don't need any reducers or anything like that to use the TIP. It should be 45mm at the smaller end of the TIP.

Hope that helps.

Thanks matey

NP - no doubt you'll have fun with that too!

 

[mazzerati]

well i measured the small end of the tip which is 45

but the inlet on the turbo is 51.

any ideas? :S

Sounds as if your hybrid has used the compressor housing/ inlet from the K04. RobbieC has a diagram on his build thread, around page 10 IIRC. Look for "custom tip" with a diagram of his K03S Hybrid.

could you use your forge TIP with a 51 to 45 reducer (cheepest n Quickest option) mebee

Thanks Joe I'll take a look

And I could use the reducer yes seems like the best option ATM! Gunna ring forge see what they can do for me!
Got it from universal turbos

Effectively you could use the reducer that RobbieC used, turn it around and get a 45mm coupler (you would have to trim the Forge TIP though) that could be a poss. Otherwise you could make a custom TIP like I have done but it till cost about the same as the Forge one - I did it because it meant i could hide a lot of the ports and take off's. RobbieC did it in order to try and create more air flow although he claims the gains weren't worth the effort.

Here's a pic of mine:

Thanks
I had a look at it looked like a lot more effort than buying the reducer tbh and too many joins fml like it all smooth

Reducer just cost me a fiver off eBay
