Title: Bit unsure ,,,what do people think of this spec ?
Post by: Gary#turbo on 07 February 2014, 09:59
A3 1.8t, 270bhp+.with DYNO 12 month mot 6 month tax. I havnt got all the spec to hand so just a bit is, AGU engine, she spent 9 hours at jabbasport a year and a half ago to the beast running perfectly! AGU, Fully forged. Polished and ported inlet, p and p tb, p and p head and re-gas flowed, p and p exhaust mani. Walbro high pressure fuel pump with 4 bar reg. s3 injectors and s4 coil packs. Fmic with hard piping. Race n75. All new auxiliaries at 113k and new timing belt at 93k. FULLY pollybushed. Koni coilovers. Big brakes. HKS tt. Boost guage. Forge recirculating bov. Loads more just can't think off my head. Ive got a nicely organised folder with all the history and work done. Its had well over 7k sepnt on this. And although its a k03s its being used properly. Ive raced other golfs with same engine and similar mods but this is an animal ive done 335d/i scoobys with 350bhp (rolling start obv) look up on how to tune these properly or see it for ur self. K03s turbo boosting in at 2700 rpm @ 22-25 psi all the way to 6400 rpm! It's built for 400bhp and more if u get 20mm conrods then easily 500bhp with a better turbo. I think the thrust bearring is on its way, but the clutch is still perfect, its also got a crack in the windscreen. i might get it done if it goes, but it dosnt bother me...

Plus ignition amp needs replacing and a coilpack but he's put a4 coil in

Any advice on this would be much appriciated
Thanks  :smiley:

Unless it's a hybrid turbo there is no way a KO3s will flow to 270bhp+

K03s is off a newer mk4 gti turbo. Like said before a k03s can not make that much bhp. Tops if about 240 if im right. What is the price of it? I would get the car dyno'ed at some place that are trustable.
Title: Re: Bit unsure ,,,what do people think of this spec ?
Post by: Gary#turbo on 07 February 2014, 11:36
It's not a sale price it's a straight swap
Mine 4 his like
But I'm not sure about the spec iv read as I don't understand half of it and don't wana get my self in the sh!t if summut goes wrong
He said it's 270 on duno aswell so it's all abit confusing

Is a ignition amp expensive to replace ?

Post by: sharki786 on 07 February 2014, 11:50
Look on ebay for the part but make sure its genuine part otherwise you will forever be replacing it. I would double check on the bhp it seem abit too ott.
Title: Re: Bit unsure ,,,what do people think of this spec ?
Post by: Gary#turbo on 07 February 2014, 12:10
Yeah il get that fixed and take it on dyno
Wud u say it's a fair swap then ?

Post by: mcgee9t2 on 07 February 2014, 12:45
personally id never buy a car off swapz... but thats just me.


270 would be very top of bhp from k03s and would be very very hard to get. not impossible. but very hard.

if its close why not go have a look?

Anything above around 240bhp on a K03s would require WMI and even then you're only talking 250ish
Title: Re: Bit unsure ,,,what do people think of this spec ?

What's WMI lol

Water meth injection. Interested to know how the S3 injectors have been fitted though

Post by: rockmonkey69 on 07 February 2014, 14:32
Wazzer is right, there's no water meth kit in sight and no mention of it.

His plumbing looks interesting and by interesting I mean nicht gut

An uprated actuator would be a necessity in attaining anything near them figures from a k03s, no picture or mention of that.

Interesting that a diverter valve isn't visible. The cold side diverter valve relocation is capped and no dv plumbing visible on the intake/charge pipe.

Big brakes are listed, can't see any.

Race n75 valve!? WTF! When a Jesus face palm simply isn't enough... N75j is simply redundant. It should not even be changed and certainly not worth mentioning. There is simply no need to tinker with it if mapped properly.

Port and polished all the parts which can't be easily checked, how convenient! There is simply no need for a port and polish at that power level. What's that? All your pictures of the shiny bits after port and polish was lost in the great fire of 68? O ok then.

"It's built for 400bhp and more if u get 20mm conrods then easily 500bhp with a better turbo." o ok you know your stuff geeza! Jebus! O wait, what engine is this again? "I havnt got all the spec to hand so just a bit is, AGU engine" o yea AGU was known for not having 20mm conrods o yes.
Wait I also seem to remember people complaining that their conrods always giving way because they didn't have have that extra 1mm on the small end and never to do with the rod bending or snapping.

"Fully forged" but of course... The pictures and your stacks of receipts make that most obvious...

Personal opinion? I would advise anyone I care about not to waste a second of their life entertaining this pikey.
