AlanNI Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I want to know what's the best bhp for a daily driver I was thinking about 150 to 200 would be best what's your opinions Quote
H_D Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 150-200 is safe on a stock engine.anything above 230ish on stock internals is asking for trouble IMO Quote
Ollieh17 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 i plan on running about 180-200 daily on a ct9 turbo, minimal lag suits the roads by me better Quote
gorganl2000 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 maybe around 175-200bhp,really depends on what you want from your car, so many variables--- how your drive, where you drive, response preference, etc Quote
Zeldoz Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Mines a daily. 4-6 miles a day to and from work. TD04 @ 236bhp. Quote
Vturbo Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 1 bar on ct9 is perfect for daily city use for me Quote
richglanzav Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) yeh i think a good healthy 1 bar ct9 setup is good for cheapness if you dont mind spending some wonga then something like a blitz k1 at 1.1 bar on decent management (210ish bhp) and zero lag - thats a truly awesome street setup Edited March 17, 2014 by richglanzav Quote
Eynonz Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I'm thinking 1 bar on a CT9 Hybrid for myself eventually, and that will suit me fine on this crappy Swansea roads which mostly involve road works. Quote
Matt1878 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I run 1 bar on a TD04 @ 237bhp as a daily to and from work/college. A lot depends on your map if your thinking fuel economy. If your thinking reliability then I see no difference.I ran my old V @1 bar on a ct9 daily with blitz access and it was fine. Now my current @1 bar on td04 is just as fine Quote
Matt1878 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 260 imo PhilLove how everyone is like 150, 180... Then Phil comes in with ah fuck it.. 260bhp! Quote
aidanep71 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 As much as possible within reason you don't have to use it all if ya don't want to and it's always nice to have it Quote

I'm biased though of course! Phil. Quote
m_prior10 Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 im running 0.8 bar boost on a ct9 as a daily driver but think im gona turn it up to a bar for the summer Quote
AlanNI Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Blitz k1 what manifold fits them and what's the price range of the turbo Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 stock manifold, or a JAM one. Or probably any of the CT9 aftermarket exhaust manis (Racetech, Zisco) but I'd be checking with them before purchasing. Dont come up for sale very often; when they do they can fetch a pretty penny. Phil. Quote
AlanNI Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 A so the turbos are like hens teeth I think there was a black glanza with red wheels for sale on gumtree that had the blitz turbo I think it was in Armagh not sure tho Quote
Phil Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Love how everyone is like 150, 180... Then Phil comes in with ah fuck it.. 260bhp! my previous daily was 260 hence my opinion. always loved a early morning run up the peninsula against the other various bits of quick machinery around the neighbourhood (particularly some old gezzer in a nova) Phil Quote
AlanNI Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Over 9000bhpJust made my car go super sayian Quote
Gainzy Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 yeh i think a good healthy 1 bar ct9 setup is good for cheapness if you dont mind spending some wonga then something like a blitz k1 at 1.1 bar on decent management (210ish bhp) and zero lag - thats a truly awesome street setupThat's the set up I'm going for but @ 1 bar on a zisco ram or JAM mani spool time galore Quote
rob_bower Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Im currently still using mine daily (as the clio is still broke) for a 32 mine round trip commute most of the time I just run at 0.8 bar (about 190bhp) Quote
