Paul, where did you get the upper hatch wing?

[neanderpaul]

Lol! Autocorrect makes for some hilarious accidents.
I got the wing from another festiva. They came on 92-93 sport models.

Funny story though, when I found my Festiva, I was actually searching Fiesta, specifically 2011 cars. The P/O had it advertised as a Fiesta.

i have this situation here:

Design 1.6 liter (1596cc?) DOHC 16 valve 4 cylinder
Power Rating 1991-1994 Capri: 100hp @ 5750rpm, 95 @ 5500rpm
Power Rating 1994-1995 MX3: 105 @ 6200rpm, 100 @ 3600rpm
Redline: 7000 RPM
Summary of Power (rating of 1-10, 10 being highest):
Low-end power: 7 (good)
Mid-range power: 8 (great)
High-end power: 7 (good)

Swap Information: You will need a custom bracket for the #3 engine mount to mount this engine, the other 3 mounts bolt right up. Using the MX3 intake manifold may require re-location of your battery. Firewall clearance issues are unknown. For the Carpi engine, the intake manifold clear the firewall just fine. You must use the B6-DE ECU and harness to get full potential out of this engine. Otherwise you will be running too lean, and will only be getting 80-90% of full potential. You will need to remove your old harness and splice about 10 different parts into the B6-DE harness for it to work. Not too difficult, but requires some technical know how.

does anyone know the "10 different parts" that need splicing into the B6 loom for it to work properly and would they happen to know the positions or wires these items would need to be spliced too?

otherwise, can someone tell me a plug-n-play loom that is compatible with the B6 Capri ECU?
