Sometimes it pays to have "Junk in the Trunk"

So the other day I took my turbo off the festiva and here's a look inside the hotside




Just a little oily.... So I loaded up all my turbos I had kickin around to use as cores towards a rebuild



And once I got to the turbo shop, he said the cores + $100 for the rebuild woot woot!! So hopefully by next weekend it'll be ready and my festiva "should" be drivable again

Well the engine won't look bare until I can get a megasquirt and run coil on plugs, that's when things will look redicilously clean and bare

[walth]

My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

I have a vision of an extremely clean engine bay with super minimal wires/hoses showing, so since the KL has two valve covers, why does the PCV have to be on the front valve cover leaving a hose in plain site?

So here's a stock front KL valve cover (sorry for the crappy pic)



And here's my custom front valve cover, the PCV will be relocated to the rear valve cover, hidden under the intake



Another issue with the KL is the fact that the water pump pulley shares the same belt as the power steering pump, so the pump must be gutted in a manual steering car, this has always bothered me so I decided to do something about it

I have these made up (one is for defprun) to space the water pump pulley out so it can run on the alternator belt and can fully delete the power steering pump once and for all



Only downfall is I need to run a 4 groove belt when the alternator runs a 5 groove which can be seen in the pic, I can't see that causing an issue though

[defprun]

It still made me poop myself lol

Sucks the turbo's gone

So on Friday I took it for a little drive, defprun was with me, and long story short the turbo is toast as well

Ok cool I thought maybe you used something else like Blue HP Hose.
