Browner Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I picked up this little tubby today. It was originally bought from a very reputable JDM parts supplier here in Ireland and he said it was a genuine JAM Racing CT9 Hybrid turbocharger. Has anyone ever seen one like it before? Every day is a school day with these Starlets! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Not sure on it but it could rune nice with a jam ecu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vincent-ep91 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) how many aftermarket plug and play ecu`s have u come acoss by now? Especially the JAM ones... I rekon u`v nearly owned every ep91 one they made by now! except mine lol Edited June 19, 2013 by Vincent-ep91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ha I've had about 18 JAM Plug & Plays so far this year Vincent. Been pretty lucky. Last year it was fishnet Recaros I was always getting this year it seems to be ecus and lightweight flywheels lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That looks like the JAM high flow turbo, there's a bit of info cutting around about them but they are rare as rocking horse poop and apparently make decent power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think JAM didn't make their own hybrids at all as they offered Blitz k1-200v turbos with their engine packages. Only a few small tuning shops made the hybrids in Japan, so could it be one of those? One example http://www.turboshopm.com/hiflowturbin/toyota.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) that's looks to have had the wrong compressor wheel put on at some stage. that's too small and looks to be a stock ct9 wheel.its not a k1 either, Edited June 20, 2013 by keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 iirc TD have a jam hybrid - It might be worth speaking to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 that's looks to have had the wrong compressor wheel put on at some stage. that's too small and looks to be a stock ct9 wheel.its not a k1 either,Was gonna say that's got the wrong compressor wheel in it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Jam did make a high flow hybrid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 It's not that the compressor wheel is too small it's the design of the fins lads, the way they shape inwards. Dunno it's a weird one some serious pow out of this little tubby so there was!Ay more opinions on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) I think someone has put a Hybrid comp housing on a standard turbo. Possibly. Edited June 21, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) lol that's not the design, its the wrong compressor wheel its too small for the housingIm not guessing by the way, I've built around 60000 turbos in the past five years Edited June 21, 2013 by keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 lol that's not the design, its the wrong compressor wheel its too small for the housingIm not guessing by the way, I've built around 60000 turbos in the past five yearsOr the housing is too big for the comp wheel lol?

keirz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) lol yeah either way aroundi know its not the news you want but that's is what it is buddy.what number is on the turbine housing where it mates to the manifold?what measurement is the compressor intake?what measurement is the inducer of the compressor wheel?get me that info and i should be able to let you know you have mate. if the number is 11011 then its a ct12 turbine and core with a ct9b compressor. that would explain the too small wheel as that is smaller on the the ct12 despite its bigger shaft. that's my guess from what i can see but with the measurements i can confirm Edited June 21, 2013 by keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I say this because the vac nipple on the comp housing looks like those used on hybrid housings. The factory 1 was fixed and not hex the way that 1 is. Also that appears to be the standard comp wheel with a 4on4 pattern. Measure the comp intake if it is larger than 38mm then I would be 95% sure its a hybrid housing on a standard turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foggy Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I remember when you could buy these must be 10 years ago. Something like 900 euro which looking at it now is a bargain.It was Japanese Performance that supplied it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) that nipple is standard on older ct9a from a gt, i have two here in front of me exactly the same. most of the ct range has the same design wheel just of varying sizes. it could well be a hybrid comp cover on a stock ct9, like i said either way its not the right wheel Edited June 21, 2013 by keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 yea i have starlet bible at home but its all in squigly writing.i hi flow turbo is differnt to a hybrid in that only the waistgate gets board and compressor wheel modified to flow more air.thats a hi flow turboa hybrid in the true sense of the word is when you start using different compreessor - turbine,shaft wheel combinations.im thinking is this figure is possible on a hi flow turbo(like the gt spec) i wander what a td12 would be like on a 5e like that!

Browner Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Interesting debate as to what it is. Amazing what little info is available on some JDM items.Keirz the number on the exhaust side where it meets the exhaust manifold is 11030 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) ? Edited July 2, 2013 by JordanEP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 If I remember correct, 11030 is the standard turbine housing number on the standard CT9s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Whats the diameter of the inlet trumpet on the comp housing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pig666eon Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Jam made hybrids never seen one in the flesh but I did have a customer down beside Corofin dude that had one, get into John and maybe you might get some pics off him and you can compare the two Don't forget there was loads if company's making parts for starlets in the big days could be any shops hybrid only thing that's the same with all if them is that they were higher boost but safe on the engine which left them about 1.1 after that it could be doing damages and company's wouldn't take the risk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Browner Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 The trumpet size is standard but the propeller design is completely different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
