I've been debating on swapping the dash for a 323 dash, but i don't have a 323 to get the dash and whatever other parts needed for the swap, maybe one day

[festivaWES]

Any new progress on the dash swap?? I was just teasing about the fire-o's. I like them, though about doing a 3800 II swap myself also.

There is alot other swaps i would like to try first. Like a j24 metro or something.

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

Lol... My roommate has a metro with the 1.3 swift gti motor in it...

[festivaWES]

^^ Tell him to squeeze an aerio sx4 awd in there!

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

Lol... We were lookin for a j24? Motor for a turbo swap.... But ive been told the 1.3 holds boost quite well...

I've always wanted to do a simple g16 swap with a dohc gti head and then boost it. A j20/24 with 154 in untouch form sounds alot better then a built gti swap putting down 210-230 maybe.

[fastivaB6TG25MR]

kept running into little problems and once it was mocked up in place it looked terrible. its way to round to have a place in a box... so i gave up... im looking into the 323 dash now cause the cluster is more capri sized. or possibly just cut the other festiva dash i have in half and custom mold a cluster housing out of fiber glass

Built GTi Swap only putting down 210-230? My friend slapped a turbo on his and was making that, built ones pull like 400 from what I ream.

G16 swap isn't simple unless you manage to find an Esteem Transmission, because it wont bolt up to 1.3 trannies.

I looked at a 323 (BF 88-89) dash and it looks pretty similar to a festiva dash, you'll probably have better luck with that swap
