'92 BP G5MR build thread

[bobbyspider]

then why did he refer to the "stock e-series" then mention the f series seperate?

[timmay89]

The F-series is the tranny that comes stock with the Festiva

[bobbyspider]

Then you use an F series. I really think if I ever do a BP swap, I'll go F series.
With the light weight and poor traction of a Festiva, I think the F series will more than handle the HP/Tq of a BP. Even the stock E series seems to survive OK unless you really beat on it. Plus, the F series is probably lighter and takes less HP to turn.

uh sorry i have to ask (im still really newbie to festiva stuff) whats the f-series trans off of... all these options are making my head spin... too much info at one time. i think i have read more and done more research in the last w months for the b6 swap and suspension and now the bp swap and trans swap and better suspension and..... ahhhhh its all good, it just means that ill have to build a 3rd haha naw il think ill be satisfied with a bpt. most of you guys are mechanics and i went to art school for graphic design so im just learning all the time from all of you and its great... ill just continue asking q's and researching till i sort out my quarter life crisis-a bpt

[BP-Festiva]

dont be embarrassed, I printed out the swap guide and had it ready for reference the whole time I was swapping the bp in.

[bobbyspider]

actually i as of recent keep a copy of mattswabs guide in my back pocket as embarasing as it sounds :toothy3: im just a person who learns by doing it and i need to ask lots of questions sometimes reading just makes me more confused im a visual and experience learner and im just trying to do this rite the first so i dont have to retrace all my steps later to see where i went wrong -thanks for all the help so far we'll get er dialed in

[bobbyspider]

sorry i just keep checking and double and tripple checking. so take the injector harness off the bp and click in the harness from the festy. rite? does anyone have any pics of the tranny mounts they fabed for a egt tranny and maybe some pics and rundown of the hydro conversion?

[BP-Festiva]

the stock festiva injector harness?

yes. just like it says in mattswab's write up.

[eurotiva]

the stock festiva injector harness?

Hey you use the whole festiva harness.

[bobbyspider]

the stock festiva injector harness?

[BP-Festiva]

I used the stock festiva harness, and tossed the egt harness.
