why on earth would u spend 1200 on a k04 when u can buy an elim for practically the same price?

I have a customer who's k04 blew, this might be a good option for him to rebuild with. He already has the hammer setup on his car.

i dont know 270hp with barely any lag sounds pretty nice

[solowb5]

^^^ exactly what I was thinking. Those k04s will out spool any eliminator.

[AudiRacerS4]

that company is also notorious for blowing up many k03's/k04's

and heat soak twice as bad.

Sounds tempting, BUT a 2871R straight from 034 is the same price.
You want power, skip the K04 and go for the gold. Trade in your pull-ups for some grown up undies and go nuts.

... You only live once.

lol true... But what is spooling like with a GT2871/GTRS on the main streets in 4th and 5th?

Is it? Where did you hear that?

[solowb5]

MAybe he already has grown up and got sick of it. Just as I. I enjoy very quick spool and gobs of tq while having the best handling. That's just me though.

go big or go home...i'm thinkin bout transplanting a 4.2 v8...

then adding 8 turbos...

1 for each exhaust port...

because the 4 cylinder 4 turbo thing has already been done by Owens.

the S4 guys used to run the blouch k03/k04 hybrids and they would last about 8000 miles before blowing search on here and AW i think there may be a couple threads still archived

idk about you but i really dont rip my car in 4th or 5th gear when i'm driving around town on the highway its another story. FWIW i make full boost (27psi) at around ~4100rmp

GT2860RS is sweet in 3rd and up, 2871R is a little more laggy, but not that noticeable.

For a street car a GT28 series is sweet. 30xx series is "big" for the non-Japanese crowd, but still very streetable.

is it that damn hard to down shift? i don't get it? any car in 4th or 5th is gonna be slow down in the rpm range, if you have a k04 or not.

So true. Down shifting from 4th to 3rd and going WOT is damn fun.

[slopoke]

im just saying i do a hell of alot more casual street driving than zipping around on the highway or track

[Mooseimage]

The highway is were it's at for me. I already have a heavy foot on the streets, so I want more power to fly on the freeway. But wow, 4 turbos, one per cylinder?! Now that sounds interesting.

[slopoke]

Word i would love to hear that thing...

Individual Turbos>ITB's

exactly, haha...i really dont see the point. my chipped ko3 lags in 4th if im not at speed. down. shift.

as mentioned, an elim could be had for the same price, with minimal lag
