td04 setup

[RossTRD]

What do I need to run one?

[StuDoc 72]

What do you already have?

[Weyro]

manifold, decat, oil feed, oil return, td04 turbo,

and a 2" 90 degree silicone bend to hook it up to your FMIC

Got a fairly standard set up atm but got a gizzmo turbo management kit waiting to go on and a front mount kit. Is there anything on the ct9 turbo i can adapt to the td04 ?

[StuDoc 72]

Ok well you will need alot more than stated above.

Relocate air filter.

Turbo.

Mani.

Decat.

Oil and water feed and return.

FMIC.

Most likely a fuel pump and possibly larger injectors

You will need management and/or rrfpr.

HT leads

Not sure if theres anything else.

[RossTRD]

I'll buy a mild steel manifold and decat when I get the turbo. I've got a walbro 255 fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. Relocation kit. Front mount kit. Blitz cat back. Bailey dump valve. And gizzmo management.

Nearly there?

[StuDoc 72]

Gizzmo is only a boost controller and not a great one at that. You need proper management like a piggy back either Emanage blue or Ultimate or even a standalone.

You may want to ask someone about injectors as they are not something Im so clued up on.

You need fluid feed and return pipes too.

HT leads also.

[RossTRD]

How can ht leads make much difference?

[funny onion]

Mines td04 on emanage blue, standard injectors and no coolant lines on the turbo. Walboro 255 pump, braided oil feed from pirtek, silicone oil return from dean on here, wepr mani and decat, Evo 8 front mount, exhaust, rrfpr. Made 228.7bhp.

Cause when your giving it the beans at 6000rpm what the point in a pathetic weak spark or a break down in the spark from the skinny little standard leads.

[Flaminsam]

Mine has even less. Td04, oil feed from pirtec, toyofail manifold and down pipe, relocated air filter and a rrfpr. Not sure what power I'm running but in only at 0.8bar with afr of around 11-10 on full boost. That's also a good idea to get a afr gauge. At least you will know if your running too lean.

I have standard leads mine are fine

[RossTRD]

This setup is looking very easy to do and as my turbo is shagged I may as well upgrade now better than any other time (:

Go for it, much less to worry about than on a ct9 setup I reckon. I do t have an air filter or mesh, no coolant lines. No actuator (mines externally gated).

Not a cheap set up I spent over 1k doing it

[StuDoc 72]

I imagine it will be fine they all do the same thing but like you said when your spending 1k doing it your aswell spending the extra 50 to maximise performance and reliability. Obv they arent a necessity but better for peace of mind.

[RossTRD]

The more power you want out of it the more it'll cost. My last gt had 200bhp on a hybrid ct9. That's easily enough power for a daily

[daniel_g]

All depends on what way you want to do things. There is a huge list of supporting mods you can do, or you can put on the bare mininum and go from there. Upgrading things as you go.

Its when you try to run a TD04 using standard parts that are fucked, you start getting issues. 20 year old dizzy caps and rotor arms for example arent gonna last long.

[RossTRD]

Cheers for the glow panel by the way Dan (:

Have you done the conversion yourself?

[daniel_g]

No worries mate, i'm sure it will fix up alright.

And nah, haven't went TD04. Still building my car up atm, gonna try and get the most out of the CT9 before switching to a bigger turbo though. Have most of the supporting mods + more to come, so when i want to go for a bigger turbo i'll just need to buy the kit and not worry about 20 parts shitting themselves.

[RossTRD]

I've made 200bhp out of a hybrid ct9 before mate plenty of fun to be had with them
