Nanglebadger Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 nice one dude! looks MINT.CT9 is a good start mate, u'll get plenty of boost lawls from it!!!! i know alot of folk change them out, but they are a good starting point, and will be a good base for the turbo conversion to start from and allow u to build from there man.Phil.

Socks Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Looking Sexy Rob... Least with a CT9 that Rad will fit in the bay ok CT9's can offer plenty of poke if youve not owned a Boosted EP before believe me When do you think the engine will be going back in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Lol tea thats true mate I think ct9 was the most sensible option to get me boosting it gives me a bit more scope to progress in the future. Im hoping it will be heading back in in July all being well just waiting on my cj performance hoses and I need to order some gaskets and a cambelt kit and exhaust hangers and a few odds and sods all the major stuff is here now though.

Nanglebadger Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 not gonna lie man, with a full size radiator and a turbo conversion in a UK spec 91, there can sometimes be "fun" fitting it all in at the front end.believe me, Jay had manys a fun time with mine, hence why i went with a half radiator to give a bit more room, but will still be silly squeezing in cone of some sort, but i'll worry about that in time.agree with Matt, CT9 can give plenty of lols. the best part, imo, is the very little lag! they just boost and go! its awesome!Phil.

rob_bower Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Right after deciding I couldn't be arsed to rip the dash back out to change the support bar and column. O I decided to modify the n/a mounting plate to take the glanza stalks after a bit of head scratching and grinding it worked result. And all back together. Just waiting on my hoses from cj performance then I can get the engine in and my turbo kit is being delivered by initial Dave the 2nd weekend in August. I can't wait Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Good going mate it will all be worth it when its done!! you wont have any problems fitting it all in the front end at the end of the day its the same bay as the glanza its only the bumper that restricts space for the cooler a bit I could have fitted mine so it went behind the bumper with out butchering the bumper but the pipes where made for a glanza so I fitted it as it came plus I have a 98spec bumper to fit at some point but I quite like it as it is lol so its not a priority!Keep up the good work!
