Is getting my turbo made into a hybrid worth it?

Think I'll just get a standard rebuild then, I do plan to get men and a map, but probably not for a while

Not sure of the price difference between just reconditioning your CT9 and hybridising it...



...however, what I will say is this...



I run a K1. Much to the contrary of internet rubbish, its not a hybrid. HOWEVER, what I can tell you is that it is hilarious craic. Zero lag to speak of, power delivery is instant and it pulls all the way through the rev range.



If a hybrid CT9 behaves somewhere close to this, then my view is, smiles per mile will be HIGH!



As for the hot air concern mentioned above....again, my K1 was generating alot of heat in the engine bay. So to combat this, we fitted a Civic radiator and slimline fan, and the car already ran bonnet spacers. Still generates heat of course, but now there is some more open space in there as the stock radiator isn't hogging up a bunch of room.



£350 might be alot, I don't know, but it bolts straight on, no need for new manifolds etc, can run it around or just shy of a bar and have alot of fun. I run mine at ~0.95 bar and have zero complaints.



Hopefully that will have helped,



Phil.

You said in my dreams I would out run you.

I'm asking you if you want to prove that?

Or are you gonna stay behind that keyboard talking about something you know clearly nothing about....

If you want to stick with ct9 then stick with ct9 mate on the road its far more useable than td04.

Been in a few td04s and been left far from impressed. Dont just jump on the bandwagon. Go for the set up you want and work away at improving it. Every little gain helps.

I'm deffo staying ct9 for now, even when I say don't tell me to td04 I still get just td04 for it ffs!

I haven't spent loads of money and time making the wepr kit fit to just sell it and get a different turbo lol

All I wanted to know is if it's worth getting a hybrid while it's being rebuilt anyway

What power you running foggy?

What sort of boost and power though have you ever had it dynod?

Tbh if its 200+ then colin has already lost.

Not had it dynod but it's super responsive . Lot of decent bolt on parts used with it.

In terms of power in or around 200.

I don't think colin has anything for me anyway even if I has 150bhp .

My other gt also has a hybrid.

It made 178bhp at .9bar.

That's on a std airbox and very basic mods

People have tunnel vision and follow the crowd mate. Yes get it hybridised you will love it. Best move i ever made. Id spend 500 having a ct9 customised for extra 10hp before i would td04.
