Managed to source a K03s for a decent price, fmic turnt up today.

Ordering up gaskets etc, on the hunt for a decent tip.

Should be fitting within the next week or so, then book up with Rtech.

Hopefully see some healthy numbers, will update when fitted

What he said, youve got to change oil lines and other stuff with a k04 turbo.

But I would get a fmic, then youll have 225bhp all the time rather than for a bit then heatsoak comes in too play.

Also I wouldnt bother changing your cat back exhaust, Id get a custom downpipe though for sure. My opinion on it, is ess thress research, found his exhaust upgrade gave him nothing lol, plus for £1000  :rolleyes:

Id prob spend that money you saved on the fmic and some 312mm discs and some decent pads.

That's because he tried it on a NA engine.
Turbo engines benefit from larger bore exhaust's as it helps spool the turbo faster thanks to the gasses being passed on quicker.

Will take plenty of pics while fitting this all if it's going to help someone out.

Bikes...

Roadbike is a GSXR 1000 K4, full Ti Scorpian system (ran with a racefit Ti slash pipe for a bit, f**king thing sounded like a monster truck :grin:) Timing retard eliminator, ITG filters, full custom power commander 3 ignition map+dyno time, iridium plugs, 2+ teeth on rear sprocket, 1/5th turn race throttle and a few other nice bits. She goes well lol

Then the 7/11 streetfighter, 750m frame, gsxr 1100 (1127) engine, gsxr1000 k4 front end, hayabusa drag swingarm, carbon fibre R6 seat unit, Nitrous to fit...f**k me, could go on about this one all day...

Got rid of the GSXR 400 (gk76a) toyed with that quite a bit, shame really as I have a big bore piston kit for it I never fitted.

For getting muddy I've got a Yamaha YZ 426F running Ohlins and some tasty billet bits

Then there's the Honda :sick:
 
A monkey bike and a mini moto streetfighter that I'm saving for my boy when he's older, once he has the hang of that then I'll get him a tiny crosser, something like a PW50 to start off on.

Just can't seem to leave anything standard..... MUST modify :smiley:

Had a look at the k03s unit for five minutes in my lunch break today, wastegate has poor operation so going to free this up, find a decent tip over the weekend and hopefully source all gaskets etc for it.

Then it's fmic fitting time, which looks like fun :angry:

Worked on HGV's for the last ten years, everything is bigger, albeit heavier but when it comes to cars everything is so compact compared to a 16 litre V8.

Always been one for a challenge so I'll post pics soon

Cheers

Might be worth chucking a Forge Actuator with a red spring on the turbo before fitting it

This will help control the boost nicely once its remapped :afro:

Get a forge TIP around £120 or R-Tech can supply these when getting the car mapped. Just notify them you want one supplied and fitted when you book in.
