My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

That particular manifold is easy to come by as the probe guys don't want it. You can trade the straight neck KLZE manifold for the curve neck and maybe make a little money.

Thanks for the tip

It has to be from the Japanese KLZE millenia. The US millenia has a different port size than the KLZE.

Are you kidding me? any chance of porting the US Millenia manifold to match the ZE?

If not i guess i'll be either getting the Cobra head elbow or reloacating the resevoir

if you need a millenia intake, i know there were a few at the jy here that i could get...

If it were me I'd tap the stiva mc and screw in brass/steel barbs and run braided stainless lines to a reservoir mounted to the firewall.

Yet another good idea, i will see if i can get a Millenia manifold and depending if i find one and the price of it when i do find one will depend on what route i go to make clearance

at this point there's lots of options and its just a matter of what i want to do lol

[resuwrecked]

Thats definatly an option, do you know what cars had that? so i can look into it more

Hey Chris. Just a thought, Why not get a master cylinder that has a remote reservoir? I've seen a few cars where the MC is there, and has lines to a tank elsewhere. I was just thinking move the MC instead of changing TBs.

For the MC, I'm either going to find a Millenia curved neck manifold, or buy a cobra head elbow that was posted earlier in the thread

It's too bad the chevy LS TB is so much bigger than the KL-ZE's, there's an '00-'07 truck intake elbow that's super tight at my shop.
Every time I see these trucks under the hood I shake my head. you'd think they would find a better way to route the intake than straight into the rad shroud

but then, GM didn't go bankrupt by building high quality, well designed vehicles at competitive prices.

sounds super fun!
Good luck

Thanks, i think most of the major things are complete now (except wiring)

What all do you have to still do? Sure is close to the mc.

-I still need to test my hydro to cable clutch adapter, as long as that works properly then i can mark that off the to-do list
-I need to take care of some minor things on the engine itself, like the water pump outlet was broken off during the shipping of the engine and need to be changed, which involves taking the timing belt off and a few other small things
-I might need to make a bit more clearance for the alternator
-get a rad that fits
-Wiring (not looking forward to that one)
-exhaust

I think thats about it, well i hope at least
