Had the ecu on for months now. The lad I bought it off had it with a ct9 setup for months before. Ive had timing, fueling etc checked and its all bang on.
Any hybrid CT9 users want to comment on how good or disappointing they found their choice of turbo to be?
What do you turbo gurus think about this on a stock 5E-FHE?
I am going to be using this TD04HL-13T from a 2000 Volvo V70XC
since my CT9 needs oil seals and it was so much easier to have adapter plates made.
Installed..........:rockon:
the most important is to know your boost target..at 1 bar you can go to stock injector but you have to use them to the maximum dutycycle near 100%will update soon on how this runs ........... i am not a racer looking for crazy power, the 5E is bolted to a 4EFTE auto-box.....just looking for a little bit more than what the CT9 could give.
Do you think the stock 295cc injectors could handle this set-up with high compression and stock boost but from the TD04?....also got some 460cc RX7 injectors I could use.
Its certainly be best to upgrade the injectors as once fine tuning for more performance there is a good chance of them maxing out. I run just over 1bar on stock 4EFTE engine with TD04L on 370cc injectors and they are running 85% duty cycle.

stock injectors are 330cc when the fuel pressure is upped to 3bar (3 bar is what injectors are tested at) so fitting 370cc injectors imo is pointless,
Thats quite interesting... I didnt know that at all. Why do so many people use 330cc injectors then?
there flowing at 330cc, this is assuming the injectors are indeed tested @2.5bar fuel pressure originally, which is what the stock regulator is.
the reason for people using 330cc is because they get bamboozled by people, there is lots of duff info on the internet, and a lot of it is by traders pretending to be specialists and shifting units,
another example of this is porting and polishing cylinder heads, infact polishing is bad, but everybody assumes it is good because there is a lot of traders out there who do it to make it "look" good, all the top company's in the business will tell you that only porting is required and polishing is a waste of time and time consuming.
back on topic, for hooning round streets its gotta be ct9 all day long, there is a vid on youtube of a starlet with ct9 hybrid racing up the touge and it is perfectly balanced for such an occasion, td04 and above should be for track work
just to add : ( i have a Zisco td04 manifold ; due to this fact , i always use td subaru turbo)
-i am with high compression forged 5E,td04 seems to be quicker for me due to the high compression, menawhile the td04-11 as had better response than my td04 L19 turbo
-personnaly the most responsive turbo is the tf035 like someone said ... i will test it soon meanwhile i will loose power . i prefer response instead of power ...

i dont think the tf035 is a good idea on the 5e
stick to the td04L...its the smallest i would go on a 5e...its super responsive as it is
