Ady Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Ok as per my ''winter works'' post - ive had some remakrs about my option to go for 2 x hybirds, replacing the stock jap turbos. I am in the process of changing EVERY, yes you red correct EVERY fluid under the bonnet. Including V160 Gear Box Oil!!! My plans are to firstly go BPU - then to 2 x hybirds (or similar) with a decent 100mm sized FMIC. I know ALOT of people have gone single, and to be honest im the one that likes to be the odd one out. I will not be going single just yet. I dont want to over kill the block - just want to see what its made of, before going for a huge single? i may not even bother going single if the upgrade works well. Can anyone reccomend 2 turbos, to replace the Jspec ones, and associated work with doing this. Also what sort of BHP would you expect from doing the turbos and associated works?? It will already have a FMIC and boost controller , along with ALL gauges money can bye as part of my bpu upgrade. Thaughts and recomendations welcomed Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris and Alana Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 This thread is interesting http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=127176&highlight=hybrids&page=2 and if your upto it there is a 'recipe' if you like in post '19' courtesy of Kranz (aka K14 SUP) for a good set of turbo's especially if you want to be different. Have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 My thoughts are quite simple on the whole BPU to single subject, I would take your car to BPU with a reputable company and see how much fun that is, it is without doubt the best of both worlds in terms of power and reliability, anything after that is not only very expensive (ECU's, Fueling, Brakes, Clutch etc) but also places stress on the car and therefore more potential unreliability, thats my very basic thoughts anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Check my garage out. Im running 451 BHP at the fly @ 1.4 bar using hybrids. You need supporting mods. circa of 450bhp is about the max for a hybrid set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yeah, it has been done. MattH and myself both have around 450bhp with hybrids and lots of other supporting mods. Have a look in my garage for a list of mods. Good luck and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 That's not under the bonnet either. They are you know, see those suspension turrets, they are attached to them and I do declare that's physically under the bonnet You can't get at them via that route, but they are still under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
