chr15_7_t_ Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 will this work? if it will is ther any good gains or is it not worth the hasel? Quote
Glanza_cl Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 i'm not 100% sure if it's a direct fit, but you just get a load of lag with little gains unless running like 1bar+under 1bar and it will just be a load of lag and no power gains, so would just be a waste of time. Quote
chr15_7_t_ Posted October 12, 2009 Author Posted October 12, 2009 would the lag be as bad if i got the wastegate ported and had it at 1bar?i can get a ct12 of a mate real cheap so this is why im asking ...aslo dos anyone no if the downpipe will fit? Quote
chr15_7_t_ Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 haha does sound very tempting...im just not the adventurous type lol..only bit that worries me is the downpipe and what is the standard actuator on a ct12 Quote
DavidAshton Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Not a clue on either, you could do with getting a ct9 and ct12 and comparing em both off the car. There could also be differences on the water and oil lines. Quote
DavidAshton Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Lol i didnt imagine for a second it would be pioneering i just wanted to reply after all the bumps. Quote
riko666 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 barely pioneering, its one of the first upgrades done a decade and more ago! I can't remember much about it, just that it didn't prove to be too much of an improvement...some of the earlier hybrids were CT9/CT12 hybrids though Quote
chr15_7_t_ Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 never thought about the water and oil lines...but ther not to much off a problem as you can get hoses for that :/...im gna go investigate Quote
chr15_7_t_ Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 cheers lol..looked into it and ny the looks of things you can use a ct9 mani but not a ct9 downpipe..looks like im gna need another turbo now..my wastegate is cracked and so is my manifold:( Quote
DavidAshton Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Cracked wastegates are nothing in my opinion, im running thisNo problems at all, ive even ported it since then making the crack worsre and it still runs bang on. Quote
keirz Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 yeah wastegate cracks like above are not gonna cause major problems like people seem to think.firstly there are loads of ct12s , a ,b ,c ,d ,e ecti assume you mean the basic ct12.it will fit exactly the same on mani, down pipe and oil/ water lines.the ct12 has a better turbine end, bigger shaft and a bigger a/r turbine housing so in this area its a good turbo. it lacks a good compressor end though and its smaller than a ct9 on the compwheel. a hybrid ct12 would be the best option. may be a little laggier but not too bad.

chr15_7_t_ Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 ct12b seem to be a fave on a few diferent forums i was reading...after a ct12b they go for ct20's Quote
keirz Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 the ct20 i feel would be quite laggy on a 4e without massive gains. never really seen results from one but by looking at the turbo that would be my guess as the turbine end is huge and compressor isnt massive. some ct12s use a ceramic shaft that dont work too well compared to a steel shaft. to be honest, if your gonna bother getting a mani and down pipe made up for one of the different trims of ct12 that use a different fitment to the ct9 you may as well just choose a better turbo. a newer garret turbo would be miles better, lighter, more efficient, cheaper and easier to rebuild, hybrid ect.
