^ cam!!!! and springs (cant forget those)

[blkfordsedan]

The springs will happen for sure. I'm 99% sure that I actually have a coil bind problem with the stock springs and FMS cam. Not sure what the lift is on your cam, but mine is .450". It looks to me like the coils may be binding somewhere around .400" and the HLAs are compressing for the last .050" or so. I'm not 100% sure, but instead of making a manual adjustable rocker to confirm it, and/or worrying about it, I figure I should just buy a set of springs and be safe. Even if they're not binding, they are REALLY close to it. The better valve control from stronger springs won't hurt either. Plus, if/when I have him grind me a cam (after he does some flow testing on a B6 head), I'll already have the springs in place to handle it. I kinda want to run the FMS cam for a while to get an idea of a comparison.

Looks sweet! Income tax returns are ALMOST here.......I feel the need for some Festiva Goodies! Or Mustang Goodies....I'm torn between them. I do need to get a set of valve springs for sure, but do I buy a custom cam for the B6 or a set of 4.10 gears for the Mustang????

Forget the Mustang and show the Festiva some love...lol

Matt, soon I will order some parts from you, and some work:
the FPR
B3 exhaust header
clean/balance Aspire B3 injectors

Eventually I will send you an Aspire head/intake to work on. BTW this motor will stay NA. My question: If you build me a better head, will the stock injectors flow enough fuel for that head, or should I start looking for bigger injectors?

Also, what is the difference (if any) between Festiva and Aspire injectors, since they are different colors?

Your stock injectors will work fine with the cylinder head mods, the adjustable FPR will take care of the additional fuel requirements needed to support more HP. On the Flow Bench, I have noticed no difference in flow capacity between Festiva/Aspire injectors. The Ultra Sonic cleaning & Flow testing will make a big difference combined with these mods.

Stupendous, thanks. Will send injectors soon.

I just received one of Matt's fpr's and I will post pics of it soon. I will also install it tomorrow as I am about to leave for work.

Ok, so I know its been a while but here are the pics of the FPR I promised ages ago. :/








I removed the purge solenoid and with jut a tad modification the the purge solenoid bracket the fpr fit beautifully.








And a little bit of header action

[kumalaba]

[gergorian]

Thanks!

[sketchman]

Pretty.

Wish I hadn't bought the Chinese FPR when I did. Oh well. Might still pick one of those up and save the China unit for my Escort.

[gergorian]
