Shaun Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 would a ct9 of a luccida fit my starlet and work ok seeing as they r for 22 td and starlet r 1.3 petrol cheers shaun Quote
starletparts Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 You'll probably find you'll be worse off than using the stock unit.PB. Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 part numbers are dfferent as allready stated. which means the housings are ct9 stock unit but itll probably have a different comp wheel and/or impellor ? seeing as it is designed for a diesel Quote
Jozinobi Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 Sorry to crash the post, pm and email sent Shaun! Peace outJoz Quote
Shaun Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 i think you find the turbo does fit i fitted mine tonight some things had to be changed like swaping the inlet housing and also turn the exhaust housing 180' but thats it then the turbo is the same and work like new and now my car dosent smoke ;) ;) Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 when you say smoke, how was it smoking.on boost? puffs of smoke?on idle when warm ? prepare for a full tutorial on how to remove your ct9's when i get my hybrid in a few weeks Quote
Shaun Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 it was on idle and y do you guys want pics just looks like the same turbo that came of Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 i cant see how the diesel ct9's can be the same spec as the petrol ones.but if its running fine then thats brilliant. Quote
Shaun Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 it works fine but y wouldent it be the same just because its diesel turbo dos the same job on a petrol and diesel Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 its not exactly like a diesel needs to spool up fast ? lol unless you need to get your kids to school ontime ;) Quote
Shaun Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 yeah but the engine on the lucida is diesel is not going to go fast because that little turbo is powering a 2.2 still dosent mean it spool any slower and i raced my mates glanza last night and i was side by side all the way so i think they perform the same no slower Quote
lobotomy Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Diesels tend to run lower boost pressures though -- so maybe the compressor wheel has a different trim?I don't know for sure but it's the same way you get TD04's with different trim -- some perform better than others. Quote
gaz Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 diesel turbos wont get as hot... so im assuming a disesel turbo on a petrol car will eventually overheat. Quote
ecksjay Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 pretty sure its the same turbo guys, even if the part number is different, but obviously its not a straight swap as shaun found out, it needs modification.dont see why it couldnt be the same though. its all about saving money. if they can use the same turbo with slight modifications then why not, it does the same job.

lobotomy Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 If it is then great! cheap replacement turbo's ahoy! Quote
scutch0 Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 hmmm, i think shaun should do a writeup on what he did to fit it, and what model he got it from? Quote
Shaun Posted October 17, 2006 Author Posted October 17, 2006 thanks ecksjay i will try and get pics to show you lot how it was done Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 yeh as long as its running spot on shaun thats all that matters. yeh get a few photos up or a writeup of how you rotated it etc, to fit.. as theres tons of diesel ct9's on ebay.. allways are.get a writeup done bro and people will love you Quote
Guest Enzo Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 that would be mint if you could do that shaun Quote
Shaun Posted October 18, 2006 Author Posted October 18, 2006 well iam takeing the turbo off to replace the exhaust gasket on the weekend so will take some pics for you guys and gals Quote
