Ep71T Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So my 88 ep71 has the 2e-telu with a ct-9 turbo on it. ( did it come with it?) i have tried the search for related topics with no luck. Everything is for the 16v motors Do these engines respond the same way the 16v do as far as turbo mods ? . I would love 180hp at the wheels .. More is welcome of course but i am not looking for all out top end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 They came factory fitted with a ct12, but the ct9 is a slightly better turbo. They respond well to mods, just don't over rev them as the rockers break. Decent flow turbo manifold will take it up a fair amount. They will take quite a bit of boost but the tune needs to be good.

mech5107 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I also have 2etelu in my ep70. Running toyota diesel C turbo, 60mm decat and full exhaust, FMIC with 50mm pipework, rx8 red injectors and standalone ecu. Those engines run fine with a T25 at 0.7-0.8 bar for about 180hp, but don't forget that most of those engines are now 30years old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep71T Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Both engine and body harnesses are off. The engine is about an hour away from coming out I will be happy with 150 at the wheels if i can with the ct-9. But i know boost is addictive .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mech5107 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Why you took them off? Anyhow, ct9 can do 150 whp, more is difficult. You should just need FMIC, some decent exhaust turbo back and just about all the boost without hitting boost cut. I was running 0.8 with the stock ecu. Do you plan to change the exhaust manifold. Since you have it out, it's a good oportunity to get one done. I think the stock manifold is too restrictive. I would be interested in a stock location manifold also.

Ep71T Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 I am restoring this car so as I was stripping the interior it was a good opportunity to tidy things up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
