chriswoodfto Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 how come its worth doing?benefits? is the air cold enough without the ac in? my fto was absolutly unbarable last year with no aircon.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Throttle response is well better the turbine on the turbo spools a lot quicker and its a lot cooler when i had my old glanza it had the A/C on when i got it mapped it made 180bhp then i took the A/C off and took it back to the RR to see if i had gained any power and it made 191bhp so i gained 11bhp so its worth doing lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriswoodfto Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ooo, might do that then, is there a how to on it? also, im guessing itll go back on easy, by taht i meen no wiring etc will need to be cut, just incase i ever sell the car. what rubber pipes do i need to buy to relocate the filter? and how do you block it off at the end it usually runs from? the filter pipe i meen.

micky boy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hello guys just a little update i have had a ct9 turbo sat in my garage of over a year now with fucked inlet blades I've always wanted to take it apart but never go round to it.So lastnight when i had fuck all to do and i was bord shitless i thort fuck it im takeing it apart lol so it did.It wasnt as hard as i first thort,bit fiddly but other then that it was ok.So now its all in bits im going to try and make my own hybrid yes i know it all needs balancing but all that will be sorted lol.Anyway less of the chit chat im sure most people hevent seen a ct9 in bits so here is some pics I have always wondered why the nut on the outlet turbine was a funny shape now i know its to help balance the turbine shaft a bit like a car wheel at hi speeds it can start to shake This pic isnt the best of quality but if you look at the inlet turbine the fins are smashed to bit lol........i hope you guys like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 sounds good buddy! find a place to port the turbo intake, get a bigger intake comp blade, find a shaft to match the exhaust blade if in good condition should be just fine to use but on the other hand it might get super long and cost alot to do your self?I'm still highly convinced that the intake blade had that done intentionally (in remembrance of the old thread lol)... if a stone went in it would have either made marking on the inner-housing on the turbo (which i cant see) or the exhaust blade would take damage from the stone passing through (which i also cant see) plus it would push it out off balance.but never mind... it's on to bigger and better things! a custom spec hybrid would be sweet, might be better spec'in it up though then sending it off to the likes of turbo dynamics, as they will sort out the cracked waste gate etcgood luck with it all though micky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Lol yeh i remember that thread well chris but like you have said, it did look like the blades had been cut.Never mind anyway its in bits now so just looking forward to makeing my own custom turbo lol im in no rush to do it even if it takes me a year to make i,ll be happy I also know what you meen, it could end up costing me more doing it my self but once i know how its done and where i can get the bits from (turbine blades/thrust bearings etc) and get them cheep enuf then im off to a good star im in no rush so i,ll have time to look around and do some research Thanks for the kind words chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Be good to see what you do with that tubby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 perhaps give keirz a PM, he will definitely be able to point you in the right direction, also thrust bearing ct9 would be sweet! but the only person to ever get one into production was Toby from toy tuning (ooo the bad word!) but yeah i'm most intrigued lol... hybrid away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Thanks for the heads up chris i shall give him a PM Im also thinking of doing something like this a ct9/ct12 combo but give it my own touch so to speak lol linkhttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...t%3D21%26um%3D1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
