Safe Boost?

[Glanza1996]

Safest boost to run on ct9b on my setup?

Zisco Tubular Manifold
Zisco Decat
Longlife Exhaust System
Apexi Air Filter

Still only using the standard top mount intercooler & ECU

[Gainzy]

I would forget about upping the boost till you at least get a IC and ecu it's playing it safe

[MR-2]

First You find fuelcut without adding boost, only exhaust mod should do it. New ecu or fcd is anyway next step if adding boost over that.

Yeah I did think that would be the case

Top mount is good for upto 1 bar on the CT9.

hmm im sure it will make everything go bang not willing to take the risk

Why would it go bang? Aslong as you deal with the fuelling side. The intercooler will happily run 1 bar. Edited August 3, 2016 by Starlet__SR

FMICs are better in every way and arent very expensive.

But ugly. And you lose the responsiveness of the CT9

[daniel_g]

A TMIC looks far worse than a FMIC.

Minor increase in lag for lower intake temps is a fair trade.

I'd like to see a side by side comparison to back this up.

Maybe someone who still runs a TMIC would be nice enough to do a back to back test for you.

Something id like to see.

Rx7 top mount or arc just to have that better cooling if you just pushing 1 bar boost but ct9 will probably pack up after shortwhile

[Gainzy]

Your always going to get cooler air from the frontmount although top mounts do aid spool time but will collect a shit load of heat off the mani, people do run them on one bar set ups. More boost is more heat, heat is the enemy!

[Cattanach]

Rx7 tmic is a decent cheap upgrade over the standard one!

An Arc tmic is even better!

Topmount up front ;) win win

Love the response I get from a top mount but for a little bit of lag & front mount looks so much better I think I will go down that route some when

So if I bump the ct9 to 0.8 to do 4runs down Quarter mile track it will be fine.

[daniel_g]

That will most likely creep up to 0.85 fuel cut level doing that mate.

Thought that might of been the case ill just leave it then till I get everything sorted

[Ollieh17]

Had an arc topmount and swapped for a fmic, badely noticed any difference in lag

i run 1.1bar on a top topmount it will not make it go bang ignition and feuling will do that for you

[Gainzy]

You can't have a turbo and not run a front mount it's against the jdm rule's Colin is killing the scene hahaha

It's fine for the CT9. I like it for the OEM Look

[Ollieh17]

If anything its worse on a smaller turbo
