Question 1st gen j-spec 12a Turbo questions

ok guys this only applies to factory (j-spec) 12aT engines...

i want to know what parts are different and/or better than there n/a equivalent...

ive heard that the side housing are nitirded(sp?) though the ports are tiny, and the the rotor hosings have a better chroming one them....

what about the ecentric shaft?

The 12AT was injected. It was the 12A 6-port that was carbed.

the 12aT were indeed EFI they ran 2x 800cc injectors in the center plate the throttle body was in the same spot as the carby so i guess some people just assume that it is a carby....

I figured since it had an air box that said EFI on it that it was fuel injected!
