My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

Me too, I've been trying to sell my aspire spoiler to buy the intercooler but nobody wants it and lately all my cash has been wrapped up with other things so until I can sell some stuff I gotta sit back and wait for some money from my paycheques to clear up

[thered56]

^ this makes me sad

[Damkid]

:lol: i'm going to wait until i have the intercooler and i plan to drive my festiva to work and i'll build a new intake on the car itself so i know it clears, so unfortunatly it'll be a while before i can update this thread further

[crazyrog17]

It's been a week, where's the new intake?!

[dueces]

Damn, you have been busy!!! I like where this is heading! Looks good man, can't wait to see this thing putting down some real power!

Thanks Rocketmen for the pics, that TB might work for me, i'll be headed to the junkyard probably next weekend to get my injector retainers and hopefully an IAC, so i'll take a look around for a TB before i entirely re-make the intake :lol:

i remember grabing a crown vic TB at the junk yard cause i remember reading that it would fit the bp but never got around to it... i think it would be perfect for your car... maybe search up those and check it out at the junkyard...

65mm Ford Mustang TB is fairly barebones as far as a TB goes, and would fit nicely IMO

See these pics of one on my B6T intake, won't hotlink cause they're large

haha when i first saw the pics/didnt read anything, i thought you were going to have a throttle body on each side.... and i was like "howwwwwww on earth is he going to plumb this thing!!!"

(slaps his own face)

maybe get a diffrent TB or somthing?

That thought is also crossing my mind

Careful with your hood clearance. I wouldn't be surprised if the motor moved that much in its mounts.

PS. Awesome project

I have solid mounts cause If my engine was able to move enough for intake to hit the hood, I would have a list of other problems, for example, the distributor rests snuggly against my fan at all times lol

Hmm, I removed the IAC with the idea to remote mount one from a VW to help with clearances and i still got clearance issues, i may need to consider re-designing the intake

Ahhhh...................the car is out in the snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I hate that thought too, but at least there's no salt getting on it
