My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Nerd Racing]

inline 4's are so 2000's. New decade, new engine family.

no no no... you start counting at 1 not zero, its the last year of the decade... I hate that everyone screws that up...

Hey Chris I saw this in an other thread


And now you have this. What do you think now ?

The BP swap is still the easiest with the most power N/A swap, the V6 Swap is a LOT more involved :lol: but it will be much better than a BP

so that is what my new motor looks like sweet!!

Yup thats the one your getting

Hey Chris I saw this in an other thread

BP swaps are the best N/A swaps to do in a festiva, and is fairly easy and well worth doing

And now you have this. What do you think now ?

wow, looks great!

^^Thank you very much for that link, those really do look like they will work perfect plus they're cheap!

no problem, your doing a great job keep up the good work.

you could donate your old motor to me if it makes you sleep better

could you relocate the brake master reservoir by pulling it off and tapping the master with a pipe tap? Then add 90 degree nipples and just clamp on some hose and mount the reservoir right behind the drivers strut. just pull the master apart to tap it. there is a snap ring pull it out and keep everything in order its spring loaded by the way. if you get brake safe hose it would work perfectly. maybe you could use braided stainless lines too

this is a great idea if you want to keep a smooth-flowing intake tract by avoiding a crazy 90* coupler.

how would this be actuated? with the air inside the pipe?

Just mount the reservoir higher than the master cyl.

Thats a good site Nickb, its hard to find odd couplers.

This might work for you on the intake...

I'll be looking for the millenia manifold so i have the curve neck with the proper runners so i don't lose any power and can still clear the brake master

I tried tig welding the mazda valve cover and just made a mess of it, so i'll be using the ford cover

[nonamekid]

(wrong port shape)

exactly, round runners into square ports is a bad idea.

Chris,

It looks like you have enough room to stick on a 135 degree silicon coupling or maybe a 90 degree one and clear it without issues?

[Nerd Racing]

because the MX-3 intake flows like shiz compared to a true curved neck KLZE or Millenia manifold.

Also why go through that if all he needs is the mx3 intake mani
