All right guys heres what I got goin on. I bought a HRC stage one kit off of a guy with a 95. I have a 96 and the fuel systems are different as you know, so I called HAHN and they will sell me the fuel kit I need but it's like $200 and I would rather not spend that if I can make the 95 system work. Does anybody know if I can make it work or not? If I can make it work can someone post pics or email the directions for the correct system? I hope to install this in the next week or so. Also the kit I bought was originally a stage 2 kit w/fmic that the guy sold and traded piping for the stage 1 stuff, how ever my turbo still has the wastegate off the stage 2. Isn't that a 9 psi actuator on there? And don't I need a 5 psi one, if so if someone has one for sale hit me up. Thanks guys I hope you can help me.

ill look up the fuel system stuff for you but many of the turbos used for eclipses from hahn come with a 5lb actuator. you should be able to use the same system. hell, people build their own fuel kits for less than $200. do you have the fuel pump and cartech regulator?

Yeah I have all that stuff. I just want to make sure I don't need to add anything else. I also didn't get the black box fcd either. I intend on getting a missing link to replace that anyway. I think I may only need some extra fuel line and a tee for the return line. I'm pretty sure the Hahn kit comes with a pre bent metal return line. Do you think it would be ok to use rubber or braided line or should I see if I could just buy the hardware I need from Hahn since I have the components already?

You definately anything fancy for the return line. Just get about 9 ft. of regular fuel line and zip tie to the fuel rails running along the bottom of the car (passenger side) and dump it into the pump under the seat. Did you get the 12V power line and relay for the fuel setup under your back seat? That's critical. I don't know much about the earlier fuel system, but I'm betting with a few additions you can make it work. Keep us posted.

Wouldnt you be concerned about running rubber fuel line along the bottom of the car? Just curious. Maybe he should look into running metal lines and then rubber at each end. or a SS line, but those are pricey.

dont use rubber lines under the car like that. only use rubber lines near the fuel pump. also, fuel lines are expensive.. go get some brake lines from autozone and use those for fuel lines.

I've had my rubber line running underneath my car like that for almost a year now. It's only a return line so it is not under a whole lot of pressure obviously. If you look under the car carefully, you will see the undercarriage of the car is actually much lower than where the stock mitsubishi fuel lines are running. There is a crevice/channel there that you can run a rubber fuel line without any worries. Granted, I run my car on the road, I would not recommend a setup like this for autocrossing
