turbo B3????

[ketchup]

Would anyone be interested in a b3 turbo kit or turbo manifolds. i am thinking of making some. i have always wanted to turbo a b3.. i bet the b3 can handle 10 psi or more.. just throwing it out there if i get enough people interested i can throw something together...

[festivaWES]

10 or more psi on 9.4 compression?

[ketchup]

yeah no problem. my buddy ran 10 psi on 10.8:1 honda on pump, but its not a festiva and i fugure the trend with these mazda motors it can handle more then people think ... i thought they have 9:1 not 9.4 okay 6 to ten psi then..

i think it would be easier to make a pipe that would connect the stock manifold to the turbo. that would make it even cheaper. that what people are looking for, i think... if you do make a kit i think that would be amazing!!! that would sell, some people cant do motor swaps but they can install a BASIC turbo kit.

i'd be very interested in a turbo manifold with a t3 flange. i was going to start shopping around to see how much it would cost to have one fabbed up. pm me if you start doing this service.

i will be running a nice basic setup, just for a little extra boost. it'll be a nissan t25 snail on a b6 sohc, non-intercooled, 2 inch exhaust, ebay bov, b6 vaf, injectors, ecu, ect. along with hotter plugs and 93 octane. i am going to make it a non adjustable 7psi and see how it performs, should be mid 14s in a festiva. i'd also like to add stronger head studs and a stronger head gasket to the b6.

I will only be able to make something for a car i can get ahold of. so i doubt i will be able to do one for a b6 cause i have never swaped a b6 in. i would recommend an intercooler in every turbo swap it makes it less harmful to the motor a ford probe one is always a good candidate plus you get a few more ponies. I was thinking of doing a log type for the b3 to keep the turbo high enough but i could do an up pipe style too.. i just need to get a stock festiva the ones i have all have bp swaps.

the b6/b3 manifolds are very similar. If you take measurements off of the b6-e make the manifold it will work for both. Boosting your marketing sales because now you can sell them to all those guys 323performance.com.

I's tick with a log type myself to make it easier. Are you going to open up the teardrop styled ports? You gonna go with Stainless of just plain steel? I have a 3/8 water jet cut flange in SS in the garage. I had another one of a vj turbo flange but i lost it.

if you make some and sell some for a b3 pm me please

[JoDan]

if you make some and sell some for a b3 pm me please

same here i would be interested in buying one if you make em

[ruppenduro]

if you find a b3 to work off of, i`ll still buy one. seriously, let me know!

my buddy is picking up a white 90 festiva tomorrow its all stock... its getting a t25 and a log to go with it. ford probe intercooler. bp ecu and distributor with bp injectors and an fmu...rev it to 7500.. i have a couple b6t heads and a miata bp head so i was thinking i could pull some valve springs out of one of em to put in the b3 if they fit... just an idea..when i get a full kit together and tested ill probably put it up for sale..

[James Yanan]

I would want to buy one. That would be awesome, please let me know. Thanks Jim.

i have a buddy that could make flanges on a burn table. i was planning on using mild steel tube 1/8 inch wall with 1/2 inch flanges. it wont be as good as stainless but it wont cost as much either. i used the same materials on my bp top mount mani and have not had one crack or problem and i have about 1500 really hard beatings constantly miles on it and its heat wrapped wich makes cracking worse.. i was also thinking about using the stock head flange for them like you mail me a core so i can reuse it. if i remember they are a tube style.. any way i w ill be starting on the first kit next week or so ant probaby have a manifold or two made with a price.. what turbo flange i use will be determined by you. t3, vj, t25, td04, i was thinking that we should decide on a standard two one for the b3 and one for the b6 some that are cheap and easy to find. let me know.

[festivaWES]

td04 eclipse is probably going to be your cheapest bet.....you can find them on the net for 30-40 bucks and rebuilds are cheap.
