Manny01 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) How do I get a bit more power out of my ep 82Currently running brand new meshed ct9 turbo, Fmic, jam ecu, .8 of boost on ajustable actuator, 8mm ht leads, high flow exhaust manifold, straight through japspeed exhaust. anything else I'm missing? I suppose the next step is a bigger turbo but that's big bucks ain't it?Any help is appreciated, love this site! Edited September 5, 2014 by Manny01 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Depends how much more power. Personally if you just want a little more power a lot smoother ride and better economy id sell the plug and play ecu and get a piggy back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manny01 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 So what's the best way to get quite a bit more power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 More boost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Td04 at 1bar on a piggy back is ample and safe for most people and relatively cost effective after that the price per bhp starts to go up ha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manny01 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 So what do I need and what would it cost? And I would raise the boost but it didn't seem to make a lot of difference and I've heard the ct9s crack the waste gate any higher than .8 ish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Ct9s crack anyway. Yours probably already is. Turn it up to a bar and youll notice a difference with the p+p Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 U made no mention of an aftermarket manifold so anything above 0.8 is risky.Tdo4 your looking at the cost of the kit so depending on the type your looking anywhere from £400-1000. Then a piggy back goes from 200-500 depending on type and cost of mapping. You could keep your plug and play and just bolt the td04 kit on tho if u wanted just not as good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Run the ct9 @ 1bar on jam ecu will be fine, or put a decent td04 kit on and run on jam ecu at 1bar will be fine aswell, I made 239.9bhp on jam ecu and td04 with perfect fueling at 1bar, better the alot of piggyback ecu mapsAll you will need is a manifold and down pipe kit(would recommend a wepr kit) £400-500 and a td04 which can be had for £40, A new oil feed anf return pipe £40 and a external wastegate if running non actuator £150 Edited September 5, 2014 by Glanza-Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manny01 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yeah sorry got a high flow manifold. Thanks for all the help! I'll see what i think at 1 bar first and then save some money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Ahh if u have an aftermarket mani already yea just bang it right to 1bar and your fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manny01 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 What about the smaller radiator, isn't the original radiator in the way of a td04? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Some kits are but the vast majority aren't. A rads only 90quid either way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 What about the smaller radiator, isn't the original radiator in the way of a td04?Depends what kit you get as to weather you need a slim rad, there only about 70 with brackets and fan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manny01 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sweet. And would this site be the best place to buy from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Sweet. And would this site be the best place to buy from?Yea most people are trustworthy but when buying with paypal always pay the 4% fee to protect you from getting ripped off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I think in this case a td04 is for you matey.lol Edited September 5, 2014 by mikey4410 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
