scottieboi94 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 How much is a blitz k1 ct9 turbo worth? And are they good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 They're worth whatever someone will pay for it, I've seen them go for £100 up to £400. Are they good?? hell yes. Don't think anyone who has experienced mine in either my car or Alan's when he had it was disappointed. and just to be picky, they are not a hybrid of a CT9. Phil.

JayJ Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Recently sold my broken k1 only as I bought almost brand new Tongs last summer. I'm only running 0.6bar with it at the moment, so I'm not sure how it performs, but we will see soon if I'm going to miss the k1 ;) If you have chance to buy one, buy it! You'll love the spool and the pull is awesome from the small unit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 ^^^agreed. The response is superb and it just pulls and pulls. Mine lay up for over a year, first run down the road, few warm up miles, then gave her full chat and she just went like the clappers first go. the K1 is the reason why I havent gone for a bigger turbo set up, i'd rather have that response all day long.

Gainzy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 can't wait to get mine running! Never seen one for sale on here...measured the inlet the other night on stock turbo, the blitz is a few mm bigger inlet, if you can find one, buy it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 I have found one but by accident, a lad said he had coilovers for sale and he told me what else he had got, and when he said he had a k1 i had to make him an offer i wouldn't even attempt to look for one of these turbos as i know how rare they are, in this case the turbo has found me lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Haha great go for it, what set up you going for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just going to replace my ebay ct9 upgrade turbo with the k1 when i get it, ive heard you can run these turbos up to 1.2 bar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What about mani etc..hmm I'm going to run mine on 1 bar ewg just produce more heat anything over that and stress the engine and turbo out, suppose you could run an ebc and push it to 1.1, think 1.2 is too much imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 mine's running at just under a bar but I know alan ran it at more when he had it, and with NOS i think. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ye i wasnt going to run 1.2 ive just heard it can be done, i was thinking a bar or 1.1 at a push. I'm running zisco ram horn manifold, blitz decat, jam ecu, rrfpr and gizzmo ebc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 can't wait to get mine running! Never seen one for sale on here...measured the inlet the other night on stock turbo, the blitz is a few mm bigger inlet, if you can find one, buy it Because they are sold before the actual sale thread is up, you should know Never measured the inlet's inner diameter, but you can use the stock efi pipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Lol JayJ yeah Scottie you could set your actuator to 0.9 and push 1.0 1.1 through you ebc at least then come winter set your ebc to 0.9 so at least then it's all safe and you don't have to keep adjusting the actuator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Turbo should be arriving this week only downside is if it breaks its gonna cost me a bomb to rebuild Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kbond Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So what power can you see at 1bar on a k1? And what's spool like? I no someone who has one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would hope at least 180bhp+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would hope at least 180bhp+It should manage 200bhp+ getting it rebuilt might not be as costy as you think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
