My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

^^big thanks for that info, I may take a trip to a junkyard this weekend to find some parts

[Damkid]

Originally a Grand National turbo, so it's not a perfect match for my engine but for $50, it will do a great job til i am able to upgrade the turbo later

[Damkid]

Blow off valve, Thanks again Greg

[timmay89]

This is exciting! Any chance of it being finished for Christmas?

[Damkid]

Oh no, i haven't even started on the piping yet, plus i haven't even got the aluminum i need to make my intake, plus money has been wrapped up in the GTX lately so next is christmas shopping then after the holidays i can get the things needed to continue with the build

[25Horseplay]

Does that "Bud" bottle restrict flow or help with boost?

[Damkid]

^^:lol: what can I say, I didn't have a pop can nearby to show the size of the turbo so I figured the beer bottle would work :lol:

[Damkid]

I took hppwdn's advice and yesterday i bought a set of 850cc RX7 injectors, they should have been shipped out today and will arrive to me soon this will save me from building a custom fuel rail and it will easily be able to supply enough fuel to any amount of boost i throw at the engine

So in the meantime i started taking apart my stock KL fuel rails

[sasquatch]

wow 850cc.... isnt that a bit much.... unless you set them up for sequential injection i think the idle will still be hard to set up.... are the high or low imp?

[Damkid]

They are high impedance and i plan to get the megasquirt 3 with the expansion board, full sequential spark and fuel drool

[sasquatch]

ooooooooooooo ms3.... drool

but the high imp will be even harder to dial in.... time will tell lol...

what are you doing for coils?

[Damkid]

I haven't decided on which coils yet because I may hold off for a bit to convert to coil on plugs, that part is still up in the air for this winter at least

Couldn't you do The coil on plug set-up off of a Millenia SC?

[sasquatch]

or get the gm 2 post coils from msd... or a set of msd blaster ss coils, but thats a bit of $$$$ but would look cool with 6 coils mounted up on the fire wall lol...

[Damkid]

Ah, having coils mounted on the firewall isn't what i'd want, it just wouldnt blend well with the wire tuck

Couldn't you do The coil on plug set-up off of a Millenia SC?

I took a look at a millenia SC today at the junkyard and the coils aren't that easy to see on those engines :lol: plus it was covered in snow, so i'm not too sure if they'd work nicely or not, i know the heads on those engines are different then the KL's though



Tonight i bought the aluminum needed to finally build my custom intake, so i'm hoping within a week or two to have the intake finished up

Also here's a pic of the injectors I bought, fuel rail not included though
