I forgot about the extending crank key. Whats the point in that again?

 

what in the hell do you need 160lb/hr injectors on pump gas for

 

The stock woodruff key only connects with the harmonic balancer by about 1/4" meaning that if you twist the end of the key off that the harmonic balancer wont spin. No harmonic balancer then no oil pump. Cut a longer key in it so that you get much more bite and less likely to fail.

for this:



back before god blessed you all with e85, ppl were using big injectors and pump gas, Ive known several DSMs and Evos back in the early 2000s running 1200cc + injectors with 105 and making 650+awhp.

 

exactly, so what do you need 1,680cc of injector for on pump gas

 

So that he (most likely) doesn't have to worry about them ever again.

 

I got 99 problems and fuel is one

 

^^^ this guy, he gets me lol

I lol'd

 

Ok so I'm looking at putting my own kit together over the winter and have a few questions. I'm going to be using a k04+ turbo that I already have and am looking for options on what manifold I can use, I was looking at the zzp one but it says it's only meant for the bullseye t3 turbos. Also what flange is on the k04, I've tried searching but can't find the specs on it. My last question would be the charge piping, I was looking at the zzp kit also for this(mainly for sake of one stop shopping) but says it's also for the bullseye and there manifold and the Saab intake which I was going to use but should it fit the k04 and could it still fit with a different manifold also or would it cause more fit meant issues then it's worth?

 

I could answer questions, but I'll tell you this instead. You don't want to run that K04 turbo

 

Why wouldn't I want to use the k04? I'm not looking to make a ton of power just bring the car back to life, I'm still m62 with just over 100k so I'm just board with where the car is at now

 

You will get bored with the K04 really quick. Will the car be on E85?

 

E85 isn't around my area so it would be on meth injection instead

 

Yeah... I really wouldn't do the k04 then. I'll let other guys chime in so you can see I'm not loony toons

 

F*ck no on the k04, way too small for an LSJ, its a nightmare to tune, spools up way too low on the RPM band and falls flat on its face before you get above 5500rpm. LSJ head flows better than LNF, get a properly sized turbo.

k04 wont get you anywhere, If you are dead set on that turbo then just save your money and keep the m62, you will make similar power.

 

Not so much dead set on it just already have it. So I guess I'll just save a little more and get a full kit and I'll use the k04 as an upgrade to the daily's k03 then haha

 

what is your daily? seems like a much better plan, Ive helped with a few k04 installs on LSJs and the operator is never fully satisfied with it, they typically start shopping for a bigger turbo before we even finish tuning the car.

 

2014 gti, but I guess I should start looking into kits then and just make my life easier

 

Nothing wrong with piecing a kit together

 

i am piecing my own together. then i decided i want to upgrade before it ever gets installed....

 

im not sure if this has been coverd yet in this thread but is anyone useing the cams from the turbo Saab 9-3 with their turbo setup? I would like to know how seting the timing went/was done and how it runs

 

That is an enormous pita for little to no gain.

 

havent seen that, are they different from LSJ cams?

 

I heard they are more of a turbo grind but as Alan said, if your gonna do a cam swap do one that will pick up some power

 

LSJ cams are turbo cams lol, at least more setup for turbo than for supercharger

 

Speaking of turbo cams, I wish I woulda got stage 3 instead of 2
