Title: k04 hybrid help??
Post by: ReadieeVTS on 28 December 2013, 01:21: hi guys,

need a bit of advice! im picking up my integrated engineering forged rods and my wossner forged pistons tomorrow for my AGU, along with main bearings, rod bearings, headbolts etc!
im planning on going for a beach buggy turbos hybrid with a cooling mist water methanol setup, now I need to know what size bore exhaust I should run? will a 2.75" exhaust be sufficient and also will 2.5" intercooler piping be good? im planning on getting the race eurojet cooler if any of you have seen that?

any other tips I will gladly appreciate!

Cheers Lee

Post by: dom on 30 December 2013, 17:45: I ran a 3" exhaust on mine and was as low as I could go with the adjusters out, it was tight but it didn't touch the rear beam.

K04 023 hybrid mate. 340-370bhp I'll be happy with...
Title: Re: k04 hybrid help??
Post by: gazareth on 31 December 2013, 22:25: well according to the witchhunter performance fuel injector calculator for 370bhp you would need something like a 700ish cc per minute fuel injector :shocked:

Post by: beppe2672 on 01 January 2014, 15:45: I take it you got your wossner pistons to drop the compression ratio yeah? As agu pistons are wossner as standard!
Title: Re: k04 hybrid help??
Post by: ReadieeVTS on 01 January 2014, 18:34: Lol any proof of this??
Title: Re: k04 hybrid help??
Post by: Dave_IOW on 01 January 2014, 22:31: I used to have a 1.8 20v engine specification sheet on my old laptop, sadly i haven't still got it on iPad.

AGU pistons are indeed forged as standard.

Edit: found it, see below :wink:

Edit2: although cuts off the piston spec
