Hi there,

JBS can supply your friend a new K03s turbo and the cost will be £605+VAT outright. Alternatively a hybrid unit capable of 300BHP is available for £1250+VAT. We can either supply or fit and fitting will be £180+VAT.

Kind regards

Alec

have you any graphs of the hybrid unit

 

[Ninja]

yeah any graphs ? I didnt realise JBS did a hybrid k03s!

Thats a good price for a turbo capable of 300bhp..

How much extra (apart from the turbo and fitting) would it cost to get my stage2 k03s custom code re-done for this turbo ?

Its a k04 in a ko3 housing with a little tweaking , but will bolt stright on.

I was hoofing it round a corner the other day, and powering out. Greeted by flashing traction control lights and pointless wheelspin (mapped LCR).

I never thought it about it that much before. But at that moment, it really hit home. 250BHP+ in a normal fwd hatch is pretty much a waste of time. I'm sure a standard LCR, or maybe even a LC would of been able to exit that corner and accelerate away at the same speed as me.

It saddens me

Except of course for motorway overtakes...

Yeah too much power on fwd is pretty useless, all you'll get is lots of wheelspin & tc coming in all the time. Unless you have a motorway duel with a dirty civic type r (sorry for swearing).
