robclio16v Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 hiya guys im looking at this turbo on ebay to use in my turbo conversion on my renault, my question is what psi of boost do they run as standard? and i understand the oil feed/return part of things but does the turbo need the water cooling or can it survive without it?thanks Quote

robclio16v Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 i know im on the wrong forum u boob lol im using a starlet turbo on my clio turbo conversion therfore i thaught id ask someone on a starlet forum :harhar:sorta makes sense to ask questions about a starlet turbocharger on a starlet forum dont ir Quote
WallaceGlanza Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Sort of makes sense if you actually say its a starlet turbocharger (ct9a/:) you're using too.:harhar:Yes it needs water cooled. 9psi is the standard on hi. Quote
robclio16v Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 lol thank you , didn realise i didn mention wat turbo it was :harhar: Quote
ste91 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 You sure that french paper basket can handle some jap boost? :harhar: Quote
keirz Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 im assuming you will need to get a custom mani and down pipe right? if so why are you bothering with a ct9? surly there is a better turbo for the job. the ct range is quite old now. you could get a much newer design turbo with more efficient shaft and compressor wheel design.im just curious thats all mate.

robclio16v Posted January 28, 2009 Author Posted January 28, 2009 lol , i was looking at the ct9 to start with as the starlet is a similar size engine to the clio and i was just finding info about a few different turbos really, anyway you guys might have persuaded me to go starlet , i might chop the clio in begining of march for a starlet gt.. but how much should i look at paying for one? il prob have around £1700 to spend if i need to tho il keep the clio longer and save a lil bit more but it has to be a gt as i think the glanza's look like toy cars no offence lol (i cant talk i drive a clio i know ) Quote
Glanza_cl Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 you will get a gt for £1700 but expect to do some work to get it running or looking mint again, save up get a good'n. Quote
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 If the turbo has water jackets/feeds then yes I would use them personally.T Quote
