    ko3 vs ko4 17psi. whats faster?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now! So I bought my car with bw ko4s on giac stage 3- tune and all supporting mods. I see some cats with ko3s pushin like 21. I would think they'd spool faster and inherently be faster. Can anyone fill me in? Reply With Quote Reply With Quote

Stock RS4 spikes 16psi and makes 380hp. Of course that's conservative stock tune too. Also at equal PSI the K04 is moving more air for two reasons. 1) K04 air is cooler, more dense. 2)Flows more air due to larger turbine wheel.

Now, aside from the temperature difference due to the increased efficiency of the K04, the main increase of power from a larger turbo is because more air is able to escape the engine on each stroke due to the increased turbine wheel size, correct? Thus allowing more air to be taken in even though the pressure at the TB is the same.

My Photo Gallery: 0 My Classifieds: 0 0 stars K03 will make power earlier in the rev range but run out up top. K04 will make power a little later but won't run out of power at the top. That is the basic comparison between the two turbos. The term faster...not sure what that means to you. Does it mean 0-60....does it mean 1/4 mile....does it mean on a twisty track...does it mean racing from a roll? Reply With Quote Reply With Quote

Does it mean 0-60....does it mean 1/4 mile....does it mean on a twisty track...does it mean racing from a roll? Exactly. On the highway, K04 car will win every time. On an Auto-X course, K03 car will pull out of the tight corners better and post better times. I like my K04's much more than my K03's. The difference in spool is barely noticeable and the pull up top is MUCH better even on mild boost.

For the same volumetric air flow rate (units such as CFM), the smaller tube will have a higher air velocity and a larger pressure lss over the length of the tube compared to a larger tube. Perhaps you mean "with air flowing through them at the same velocity"? Because then the larger tube will have a greater air flow rate.

A fan impeller has a characteristic curve that is far more complex than the pressure drop due to diameter change of a tube. I work with/design fans for my job, and I'm a mechanical engineer by degree. Just needed some clarification.

    airjawed is offline Veteran Member Four Rings Join Date Aug 05 2011 AZ Member # 79311 Location Memphis, TN for now! My Photo Gallery: 0 My Classifieds: 0 0 stars From an ECU perspective it does not see what is happening at the turbo itself. So, even though K04 is larger and flowing more volume it doesn't care or see it that way. It sees the air mass going past the MAF sensor....then it sees the temperature and psi at the intake manifold. ECU perspective: K03- more psi earlier in rpm, less psi up top and more temps up top. K04 - psi take a little longer to develop, psi stays up top and temps do not increase as much up top. Reply With Quote Reply With Quote

It was a (gross) oversimplification because the guy wasn't understanding how one turbo could have a greater flow rate than the other at the same PSI. That's great that you're an engineer. I'm also one. The point of my post was to educate someone who is not an engineer and was having trouble with the concept. We can get into compressor maps, impeller size/design, housing size and design, and other higher level stuff, but the purpose of my post was to provide understanding on an elementary level.

If the conditions are as I posed then nothing happens, the K03 and K04 'flow' the same amount of air into the engine, the exhaust side causes any differences. But to be clear, there are rpm regions where a K03 cannot supply enough air to match the boost level that a K04 can reach and the scenario I gave can no longer exist.

Location SanHo, CA My Photo Gallery: 0 My Classifieds: 0 1 stars ^^LOL... Here's the question I have about slapping K04s or larger turbos onto our mere S4 engines: The K04 turbo was originally on the RS4 which has larger airbox, MAF housing, hose, y-pipe, inlets, SMIC's, intake manifold and heads. So when we put these bigger turbos onto the little intake tracts of the S4 are we shortchanging the potential of the mod? I've read the results of many of these builds with K04s, F21s, etc and see bigger numbers pretty much across the board but if the S4 intake was designed by Audi for the K03 it would seem to me that ANY larger turbo would need the rest of the intake components to perform at full potential.

Here's a K04 compressor map with red filled in the region where the K03 compressor map shows greater or equal compressor efficiency to a K04. A blanket statement like K04 air is cooler is incorrect, it depends entirely upon where on the map the turbo is operating. At an airflow seen around 3500 rpm and 20 psi the K03 is operating at 70% efficiency while a K04 around 63%; it's unlikely the K04 is discharging cooler air at that point. More correctly, at equal manifold pressure a K04 has the potential to flow more air if the engine rpm and VE can support the additional capacity, if not, such as at lower rpm's, the K04 will 'flow' the same amount of air as a K03.

You don't stuff more matter into a fixed volume at constant temperature and not alter the pressure in the container.

You're on the right track, except for the part about the increased efficiency of the K04, that depends upon the rpm you are evaluating at. Engine VE change due to the different turbines is probably the largest contributor so long as the K03 is operating in a region where the efficiency doesn't suffer.
