mikehardy92 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I have a stage 2 fully forged engine built by TD running the standard ct9 turbo, what boost would people recommend running? think it's running about 0.8 bar at the moment Quote
russ78 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 A ct9 is out of its range just past 1 bar so I wouldn't recommend going much higher than that,maybe you should consider a bigger turbo as you have the capabilities to run much higher boost now ?Obviously it's your choice bud but its a lot of money to spend on a near stock setup Quote
mikehardy92 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 I have been looking into a td05 set up as I already have a td05 twin scroll on my civic so could issue bits from that kit, but money is tight at the moment I have a 225lph fuel pump and adjustable fpr so they would help with running a bigger turbo and a Greddy emanage ultimate to help sort it all out If I got say a td04 would it just be a case of getting a manifold and exhaust and bolting it on with the current set up I have? Quote
russ78 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Pretty much, manifold and decat and bigger injectors if u wanna run BIG boost and get it mapped Quote
russ78 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 You'll need oil and water lines to suit as well depending on whether u go td04 or td05 but tuning developments do both types Quote
mikehardy92 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 Ok cheers pal, ill be adding it to my build thread when I get the parts Quote
mikey4410 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 U dont have to buy water lines mate for td04/5 Quote
russ78 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) U dont have to buy water lines mate for td04/5 its personal choice really, I think that they make these turbos with water and oil lines so they want us to use them for a reason, least we can do is use them seems a bit crazy not to Edited August 27, 2013 by russ78 Quote

ro55ifumi Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 You will need bigger injectors too + RE Map John Quote
mikehardy92 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 The bigger pump should be ok for what I'm looking for as the car will still be my daily and yeah I will send it to TD to get it mapped Quote
