              Most stuff you have to make yourself because the aftermarket never existed for the festiva. Creativity is a must.

                  Add a fuel pump and a 12:1 fmu (rising rate fuel presssure regulator) and pull 1 degree of timing per pound of boost.

                        Anyone ever thought of using motorcycle pistons. I know the honda valkyrie has a 71mm bore but a 61mm stroke. Hell it even has a 9.8:1 compression ratio. Anyone think these would work?

                          $15? did you use latex house paint?
                          it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

                            It's much easier/cheaper to bolt in another motor.

                              not necessarily. but would they work? as long as they're the 71mm bore right? honda 650r use them as well so it is looking tempting.

                                What I'm saying is.......You can buy a whole donor car for $300-$500 so by the time you buy 4 bike pistons and then machine work you'd be way over that. I've thought this over many times. I've been a bike mechanic for the last 10 years,so trust me I've thought about it. I've also wondered about throttle bodies from a bike on a festiva. But again too much money involved.
