I had used a filter on the feed for the hx30 which blocked up and killed the bearing, that's a good ET for the 60ft what was your trap speed? The turbo I have on there is a k04 which is a fair bit bigger than a k03, on a 1.8t a k03 on a good day will make 210 ish whereas a k04 is around 280 I had it kicking around so popped it on if I could rev it a bit higher I would put the gt35r back on itmy_medusa wrote: βTue Jan 02, 2024 12:17 pm Just Seen this. Nice Car! Why did you Not use the hx30? I Run kinda equal Brother he221 (7cm) on my 1584cc. Run 11,117s the 1/4mile with a very bad 1,902s 60ft. @1,45bar of boost this Thing spools Up very quick on 1600cc and on everything i have Seen they make 340hp+. Those k03 are fun on the Street but Fall in it's face very quick. Used them 12-10years ago on 1641cc Work fine but nothing for racing.
Keep on going

Re: Finally starting on my Beetle project
Ouch. That hx30 is a good unit and very efficent in the compressor map even 2 bar plus. R.i.p. Trap Speed 204,xx km/h have Seen 205,xx that day but track was very bad, all Cars had alot of wheel Spin so mine.
Basically the k04 has a bigger Turbine wheel and exducer in the compressor. But all off the k03/k04 are too small in the compressor exducer to be good at the track they are good in Low end / mid range thats where they are strong.
Enjoy chris

Re: Finally starting on my Beetle project
I took my beetle racing last weekend and managed a new pb of 12.95 @ 104mph with a new pb 60ft of 1.72 on separate runs
I also got her weighed and it's heavier than I thought with me in (~100kg) Happy enough with how it went managed to go a round however I missed third on the second eliminations and ran a 13.5 @102
In qualifying I managed to break a shaft and when I took it apart the CV cage had broken which I think took the shaft out luckily my friend in his low 10 second beetle had a spare shaft and CV might need to stock up on these

Re: Finally starting on my Beetle project
Found this one too. And yes seams Like you have to do Something in the rear. The top end speed shows what i said, If it is the k04 those are not for racing (low and mid range turbos) and also small in a 1600cc. Enjoy and keep on posting.64 sunroof wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2024 8:35 amThank you, Some more photos came through today
