Glanza1996 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Safest boost to run on ct9b on my setup?Zisco Tubular ManifoldZisco DecatLonglife Exhaust SystemApexi Air FilterStill only using the standard top mount intercooler & ECU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I would forget about upping the boost till you at least get a IC and ecu it's playing it safe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Top mount is good for upto 1 bar on the CT9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza1996 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) hmm im sure it will make everything go bang not willing to take the riskWhy 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 FMICs are better in every way and arent very expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 FMICs are better in every way and arent very expensive. But ugly. And you lose the responsiveness of the CT9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 A TMIC looks far worse than a FMIC.Minor increase in lag for lower intake temps is a fair trade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlersport Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cattanach Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Rx7 tmic is a decent cheap upgrade over the standard one! An Arc tmic is even better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Topmount up front ;) win win Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza1996 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 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 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 That will most likely creep up to 0.85 fuel cut level doing that mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza1996 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Had an arc topmount and swapped for a fmic, badely noticed any difference in lag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 hmm im sure it will make everything go bang not willing to take the risk i run 1.1bar on a top topmount it will not make it go bang ignition and feuling will do that for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 You can't have a turbo and not run a front mount it's against the jdm rule's Colin is killing the scene hahahaIt's fine for the CT9. I like it for the OEM Look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
