[fastivaB6TG25MR]

the b6t is far from wimpy
from the fastest festivas thread:
#4 Mextiva 12.76 @108 CONFIRMED
B6T
...im hopin to get close to this when i finally get my car tuned and on some slicks

[sasquatch]

here are some pics of the parts i got at the junk yard


rear strut tower bar off a 92 talon





2 throttle bodies... they dont fit but i will make them fit when i make my custom intake manifold a civic short shifter a piece of intercooler piping and another piese of intercooler piping lol...





now i just have to finish the IC piping and get the wiring figgured out... and i think i figgured out a way and if all goes well i MAY make a kit to plug in the b6t to the stock wiring harness cause the way i am doing it its easy as pie but we will see if it runs.... (im 99.99% sure it will run )

Nice Mike, way to be resourceful.

ok the intercooler piping is allmost done... i just need to connect the maf to the intercooler.... at this point in the swap i have run out of money so i had to do the intercooler piping VERY half *** im not happy with it at all and i would take my time to do it properly but i NEED a job and i have no way of getting to work when i get a job so i need to get this thing done... as soon as i get my first pay slip im going to mopac and buy all new IC piping and couplers and re-doing it all with proper stuff but this is what i have so far...













now all thats needed is 2 more 90 deg bends and the wiring

sweet, cant wait to see it when its fired up and ready to rip

[muscle_Car1]

when i was looking around for a turbo to put on my B6T i came across the GT2871R and by looking on the compressor map it'd be good for 300hp @ 25psi and still close to the most efficient range, i'll get the link for you so you can look into it a bit

Ahh the disco potato's slightly larger brother. Personally I'm going to use the gt2860rs(disco potato) cause its a better match for a daily driver & more efficient to boot.

Radiator, engine mounts

Not sure why you squished your radiator. I mounted mine just a little to the drivers side with not too much effort and it clears the turbo fine. I added a fourth mount on top of the transaxle to keep the whole shebang from rocking forward. A fourth mount would keep your turbo from making a pancake out of your rad.

By the way too bad your living in B.C not Alberta. Edmonton has to have the highest per capita of Festiva B6T swaps (I know of four running, 1 not; not including 1 BP swap) in North America. Three of those swaps have the G25MR transmission too. Most of those ice race in winter and one was road raced in the local Edmonton Indy Support Race.

Good luck in your build!

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!! i got the wiring harness compleated it should be running tomorow night (if i did it right lol... ) once i get some loose ends figgured out... and a coupple days ago i got the IC piping done, i just forgot to post that up lol...

[getnpsi]

Oh heck bypass the intercooler to check your wiring. Fire her up! You'll want to get any timing and fuel bugs out at low boost anyhow.
