JDM-P5 : hello there, i've been busy lately with work and studies. here is the latest pic of my enginebay:

unfortunately the laws for forced induction (and generally for mods) are a bit foolish so i prefer s/c bacause of some laws.


MiaTurbo: as far as i know there is a sensor in front of the cam pulleys (i think is called knock sensor, not sure about that) and i was also told that there are some changes on the ecu system.

here is another one at its present status:

i love ford red too, very aggressive colour for enginebay

I stand corrected. It appears that the intake manifold looks identical to the early 1.6 found here. I see no reason for a 1.6L's SC wouldn't work.

Agreed...h/e...Kevin is it just me or is the car actually RHD. I know a guy that brought a MS RX8 from Cyprus here and it too it RHD.
Look at the wiper fluid bottle. It's right next to the firewall...on the right side. And the big giveaway is the cover for the steering column on the left side I guess...lol.

Yep. It's RHD, but it doesn't look like it'd affect the installation of a SC in any way.

actually i think it will be easier to install turbo or sc on a RHD cause all things are on the coldside leaving hotside empty

Yeah...lucky you.
