My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

:lol: not much to update right now, i should be taking it to get exhaust on it this coming week then i will be messing around with the idling issue

[25Horseplay]

I can't wait to ride in this one!!!

[Damkid]

Today I messed around with the idling issue a little bit and I think my TPS is the problem, it seemed to be ay out of adjustment like it's been telling the ECU that it's at wide open throttle, I'm going to do a bit more messing around with it and hopefully it'll idle nicely for me

So no video still? wtf!
lol

Did you see page 51?

[Damkid]

I think he meant a driving video lol don't worry once I got it running right I'll take a new video

[Nerd Racing]

running and driving?

I'm really curious as to how the 4cyl diff performs!

I may have found another aspire to drive daily, which means i'll be taking my time again and getting an SPI escort trans (97+) to swap the guts into my 626 case, and a 323GT/XR2 IM shaft to go with your old axles I still have.

[Damkid]

The way I see it is the 4 cyl diff is still a G series diff, there's minimal differences in the spider gears but not enough to effect the strength of it so it will hold up just the same as the V6 diff would

Besides there's been a festiva here with 300whp on a G series tranny and it held up no problem and that's more power then what I'm running so that also tells me my diff will hold up

[Nerd Racing]

well hp and tq are different... you could have just as much tq at a lower rpm as the 300 hp guy had. I mainly mean the custom phantom grip and the diff bearings and axle seals.

[Damkid]

The phantom grip I put in was a real phantom grip not a custom one I had made up, the only thing I wish I would have done was installed new diff bearings, I plan on stripping g out the guts of my EGT tranny and putting them in my spare V6 tranny so I'll put in new bearings with that one

[Nerd Racing]

oh ok, I thought it was the one with modified springs like you had an interest thread about.

[Damkid]

I never did get any made up yet, i may still do that one day though

[hofficergrover]

Yes i was meaning of it smoking the tires by a cop. lol

[Nerd Racing]

I have spark now, but no fire... I wonder if I ran my tank empty. I know it was pretty dang low when I parked it.

[Damkid]

Been tyding up everything wiring wise, i just need to hook up the PCV valve and the vacuum lines are finished

This is basically how the finished engine bay will look



I've also been finishing up rad piping, i just have a little more to do and they will be complete too
