AdamB Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 yeah it's not bad but the force it comes in at must really bare a strain on a standard lump! Not really, it depends on the boost pressure ran. A larger turbo is more efficient than a smaller one so will actually put less strain on the engine, providing its setup correctly that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That doesn't really make sense, its gonna be the same capacity lol. Think you mean keeping the turbo at its best efficiency while increasing boost. Which certainly as you are forged and the boost is increased you move further away from the best efficiency of the td04. Meaning more in terms of the standard engines are good for 240-250bhp on a td04... Forged Engines you can go to maybe 270bhp? For the £££ it costs not worth it... You need to be pushing 300bhp+....Bigger turbo to make it worth while really IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 But that's a ticking time bomb doing that 250 in standard engine I think forged engine and maxed tdo4 turbo will be well fun and reliable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 But that's a ticking time bomb doing that 250 in standard engine I think forged engine and maxed tdo4 turbo will be well fun and reliable Plenty of them out there reliable dude... Its only reliable as the owners treat them, how there mapped and how the setup is tweaked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm really considering TD05 at 1.6bar, my td04 dosn't pull hard enough in the higher gears I find, could just be me though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My original plan was go all out on a CT9 setup but when i looked at the costs i didnt think it would be worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yeah but a well set up ct9 will piss all over a td04 if it's not set up right simply because of the spool up times on the ct9. By the time a td04 hits boost the little ct9 will have been miles ahead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 There are certainly benefits to the smaller turbos. Infact i have a TD02 sitting at work, might bang that on instead of my TD04 and see whats what lol. Full boost on idle haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 As above me and micky had a little mooch out and micky drove both cars, Its a weird one as even i felt unsure on as to what felt punchier, The CT9 Obviously felt more responsive, (Came on boost 300rpms sooner) So spool times are similiar, But the power felt completely different to my setup! IMHO boosting about inbeetween roundabouts etc i dont think there would be anything in it, but bigger runs the bigger less restrictive setup would pull away The main places the TF035 Feels better than the CT9 Where up top and 4th and 5th gear pulls, Where the CT9 Felt like it was mega struggling and wouldnt pull any harder the TF035 Keeps pulling... Especially up banks and big stretches of road where you can stretch its legs. To find out what its running i need it dynoing, but i dont think the fact its running 10.1 to 10.4 AFRS On boost help it, and as micky says it feels like its hesitating and bogging/Dieing in 3rd until it picks up (Feels fluffy IE Getting too much fuel as i have mentioned before) But i was also running a topmount etc on my CT9 Setup, where mickys running a Custom CT9 And a front mount We need to prove this once and for all micky lol Also the Auzzies are getting like 240-250Hp out of these easily, So theres either something in my setup lacking or i need a good map!

The Toffinator Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Oh and mick do you mind if we swap ECUs for a day or so? See if it fuels my setup any better to help the mental richness lol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Adam, I know that's right but when it comes in I just expect to see a conrod fire out lol. Lags really not an issue, I don't boost a lot and when I do it's on long straights where I don't need incredible spool times. I don't know! It doesn't help my mrs is pregnant and with the td05 boosts well off the cards (her first and last reaction to it was to cry). I'd love to pick up a vf turbo but there's no chance I'm paying a huge amount for one I suppose it's my answer to this though, I'll wait until I find one cheap I have no idea which one I'd run! Wouldn't mind something similar to td05 in vf series mainly just to be different lol! I'll keep my eyes open for something cheap and local! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah i think thats what has made me stay ct9 Toff the fact that ill always have to stretch the legs out of the TF035 id end up liveing on the red line lol And tbh with me changing a few things on my ct9 it now pulls all the way to 8000rpm without dropping power like it did on my old ct9 set up! So i have the best of both worlds low down spool and pulls all the way to the red line. I think you have a realy good set up Chris i loved it tbh but for where i live and where i drive the ct9 is the turbo set up for me And yeah mate i dont mind swapping ecus for a day or so. I bet you'll love the blitz its the most aggressive P&P ecu i've ever had Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) well guys that topic will continue soon 2 years on lol i can compare ct9 twin ct9 tfo35 al within the next month my hopes are very high on the twin ct9 setup destroying the tf0 and td04 on stock motor ( upto 1 bar ) Edited March 18, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I had been thinkin of a tf035 for a while now so this was interesting read, no matter how ancient the thread is lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 im already thinking of finding a hybrid compressor house on the boost side of a tdo5 or the likes have fast spool from the smaller exhaust propeller with big cfm ??? must ask liam if that works wel that way ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I did read something about a putting a td04 hybrid wheel into a tf035 housing. Or a td04 rear onto a tf035. Ill try and find the link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
