CT9 Hybrid Recommendations In 2024

I ran the ct9 at .8 bar just before fuel cut and it was sharp enough, it could keep pace with a td04 starlet due to the lag of the td04 :)

No worries. Happy to help.

Yeah CT9 is a fun setup, especially between 0.8 - 1 bar of boost.
Have a search around … plenty of info on the tf035.
The TD setup is a manifold that enables you to mount a TD turbo to your car. So, td04, td05, tf035 and vf series turbos.
I saw that thread but LSD’s are not my forte. Maybe post in the Facebook group … starlet society. I’m sure one of the members on there maybe able to I’d what it is .

Deadly. All the feedback much appreciated. I'll start out by getting the fuel pump upgraded and tweak the boost.
Research and planning for the next stage then, with thanks to your feedback and everyone else too.
Its good to see the forums still chugging along.
Unfortunately I'm not on FB so can't post the LSD there but I'll ask a buddy to see if he's on it...
Cheers.

Yip. I have moved away from trying to magic numbers. 11.7 etc. In the words of your tuner, give the car what it want and not what you want to see.
A blitz can handle most hybrids easily. A friend had a blitz in conjunction with an SAFC running his td04 setup. 22psi.

I used my jam racing ecu with the gt2871r up to 13psi.

Yeah thats exactly it. Give the car what it wants.
Cheers for the info on the management system you ran and your friends. Good feedback.

I just did some reading through my notes. AFR obviously varies depending on boost pressure, but according to my notes and from a quick look online the AFR's my cars hitting is fairly bang on for a turbo car, but only a dyno would confirm it.
What AFR's do you normally see or like to see when under the load conditions I described in the previous post?
Cheers

12.1 under load (full boost WOT) would seem rather lean imo...i've seen some people run 11.8-12.0 on proper race gas (again, it depends o the type of race gas too)

for pump gas, i prefer to be on the richer side under load for safety/reliability 11.0 to 11.3 ...but it can fluctuate between 10.5-11.5,

you need a dyno and a knock detection device to actually see if running 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, or 11.5 for instance makes any difference in power,, each set up is different and you have take into account your pump gas quality also...better quality gas is more knock resistant, lower quality gas is not

Okay, some good info there. You've got me second guessing myself now, haha. I know I've seen the car in the low 12's but that was ripping hard and the focus was on the 'racetrack'. Lower gear pulls it definitely sits in the 11's. I dont recall seeing 10's though. All on pump gas.

When I get the car out next spring, I'll be installing a new fuel pump and I'll get a passenger to come along and help log some readings.

Thank you for sharing that insight.

I would say the extra fuel probably was to aid cooling. It could be to achieve "wall wetting". I don't know. But I never looked at the slight richness as a bad thing seeing the PNP ECUS don't really do well with addons. Stock ignition. (No MSD and the like from testing). Stock injectors seeing it can only trim fuel to a certain degree.

When you say the PNP ECUs don't do well with add ons, what add ons are you talking about?

MSD ignition....I had a bad experience experimenting with that. Too large of an injector as fueling would be off. It will only trim to a max +/- percentage using the stock O2 feedback for example. Running a wideband which reads 0-5v wuld be of no use as that use the narrow band signal.
