ro55ifumi Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 def a race-tech braided oil feed/return imo then after that just what funds u haveFirst Thing i would do^^^^^^ then Boost Controller?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I've been running a ported mani for 12months now when doing the porting I had a jam mani to copy ;) and it's been 100% so far. You will find gains from de-cat as even the gutted cat has restrictions in it as I found. But this is not essential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 no need for the fuel pump unless your going over 200 (alot of peeps go anal as if its a must need item...not really)boost gauge?wouldnt 2.5" be big for the CT9? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 oil catch tank is wise... these engines breath havily at high boost and spit oil out a normal breather so saves the mess!and a boost controller is a very good idea to try n help with boost creep! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I would deffo get a decent manifold and decat.You got most bases covered dude, but a EBC is a must for decent boost control ;)Will be a rapid little car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fro Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I wouldnt bother with a manifold, if its well ported it will do the job more than well enough and probably less likely/ cheaper to replace than an aftermarket one if/when it cracks.I wouldnt be too worried about the 2.5" exhaust either but you might notice a little difference with a proper decat.As above you would probably benefit from an ebc and you might need a rrfpr but you would find out once you got your fueling checked.Id recommend a braided oil reed cause the oem ones are ghey! Im not sure how much racetech ones are but you would get your own one made cheap enough but all depends if you can be arsed!I couldnt comment on whether or not a fuel pump is essential Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Lots of advice there guys thanks!I've been running a ported mani for 12months now when doing the porting I had a jam mani to copy and it's been 100% so far. You will find gains from de-cat as even the gutted cat has restrictions in it as I found. But this is not essential.Dont sweat the manifold mate:http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....0&start=180Sounds like I should be okay for a while with the mani, I can see how an aftermarket one may give a few more horses but they are quite pricey. I don't wanna buy a CT9 manifold because it would be useless when I go TD04. Here's some pics of the porting:I think the boost is a bit unstable because of the gutted cat so I'll look for a proper decatno need for the fuel pump unless your going over 200 (alot of peeps go anal as if its a must need item...not really)boost gauge?wouldnt 2.5" be big for the CT9?Yep I have a boost gauge, didn't have the T-Piece to plumb it in but I have one know, will be fitted when I'm next homeI reckon 2.5 inch is perfect, most aftermarket ones are 2.5"+ and it'll be sufficient for TD04 too oil catch tank is wise... these engines breath havily at high boost and spit oil out a normal breather so saves the mess!and a boost controller is a very good idea to try n help with boost creep!Cool I'll keep an eye out for a catch tank, should they have a bleed screw on the bottom or a removeable top? And a breather on top rather than being airtight?I would deffo get a decent manifold and decat.You got most bases covered dude, but a EBC is a must for decent boost control Will be a rapid little carIn terms of a boost controller, they seem to be quite expensive I've done a bit of reading on here and it seems a Dawes device/Turbosmart boost controller offers a lot of the advantages of an EBC at a fraction of the price?MBC thread 1MBC thread 2I wouldnt bother with a manifold, if its well ported it will do the job more than well enough and probably less likely/ cheaper to replace than an aftermarket one if/when it cracks.I wouldnt be too worried about the 2.5" exhaust either but you might notice a little difference with a proper decat.As above you would probably benefit from an ebc and you might need a rrfpr but you would find out once you got your fueling checked.Id recommend a braided oil reed cause the oem ones are ghey!

Are used ones okay? Trying to keep the costs down lol ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 You pay for what you get when it comes to EBC's mate With mine I can adjust how much boost every 500-1000rpm and how much boost I want in each gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Maybe something to get in the future, for know what would you suggest in terms of MBCs?I hear controllers don't make a difference on creep, they just bring in boost earlier? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
