nope, i did not. i cant imagine that would run well, if at all, as it has no MAP sensor it would have no idea how much fuel to put in as it would be running on a factory set value for that RPM point.

it ran EXTREMELY lean. if you want a grenade try it, otherwise go aftermarket.

the std injectors cant supply enough fuel for more than approx 4 psi either...

Re: Sigmas are becoming scarcer

Definately scarcer ...same with galants and Lancers.Most will probably come back from China as Cherrys.
Even between me and dad .We had 4 Lancers ...now we're down to 2 and some panels/interior bits.(N.B. 1 given,1 sold ...not crushed!)

Re: factory turbo carb cd 175

I had one on my sigma turbo some years back. You can get good power out of one...if its set up right and there are a few mods you can do on one to get more...like everything i guess! You'll need to get it recoed to start with and then find a dyno tuner that knows them for setting up at a certain psi...

Not bad ...yep they drive great...unusual colour scheme, maybe the top was done blue to cover over crazing/sundamaged silver by the previous owner.

Is that silver trim over the wheel arches?

Re: My New Car..still have the LC though!

Yes its pretty fast Dave .Suspensions pretty hard though ...but great in the wet!.
Fuel economys really good surprisingly ...get under 10 L/100km around town so long as you keep the revs low.

A worthy replacement til I get the Lancers fuel woes sorted :D
