too much of a PITA to tune.. Looked into it about 6 years ago when I still had the Gemini, better off going EFI

My potentially facepalm worthy question for today:

Are the eibach springs for the 95-98 version protege any different to the ones for the newer versions? I can only seem to find the 98 ones... =l

project.r.racing · 04-07-2011, 08:20 PM

BH ones are different for BJ ones. BH/BA ones have been discontinued for some time.

Rhys · 04-07-2011, 09:03 PM

Ahhh bugger. Just bought a pair.

Oh well.. Thanks for your help.

What do you want to know except don't do it... Most carbs are setup for 3ish PSI fuel pressure and blowing boost through them is asking for trouble.
Tried and failed long time ago

Had anyone had experience with BC coilovers?

Ow ok... Hmmm can I increase the fuel pressure???

What about a suck thru system.. I.e. Carb to supercharger not supercharger to carb...

Fuel pressure needs to be boost plus standard I.E. 5psi boost plus 3psi preassure = 8psi but if you try and put 8psi fuel pressure into the carb at low boost you'll likely blow the needle and seat and flood the engine.
A draw through system is much easier as long as you don't have too longer pipe between turbo and engine. Too long would be an FMIC but you can run a stock carb.
