Any update?

[sasquatch]

not to much has changed... i got the carpet back in and the amp wired back up... and a few randome bits and bobs... i was planning on working on it today but my knee is all messed up im sort of stuck in bed till it heals good thing i got my laptop lol....

[sasquatch]

got some parts in the mail today



the stock festiva flywheel weighs about 16 or 17 lbs... maybe more... its a bathroom scale and with me stading on it, it may have set it out of wack lol...


a stock b6t one weighs about 19 or 20 lbs...


and my new one weighs


the company says it weighs 8.8lbs... its a bathroom scale lol... even with the clutch and pressure plate on it, it weighs about the same as the stock b6t flywheel WITHOUT the clutch or PP and from what i read, the one i have in the car now (bp 1.8L flywheel) weighs 22.7 lbs... i think it will be fun they say it will hold 422lb/ft of torque so i think it will hold lots of boost should be fun to do stop and go with also

also added some stickers to the under side of the hood... i dont know if i like them or not... they look kind of weird...


but i am keeping this one


more parts and pics comming soon... and if all goes well in the next few days, maybe a vid of it running...

stay tuned

[sasquatch]

megadump.... pee-n-poo :p lol... i kinda wish i went with something a bit eaiser to get going but it will be totaly worth it when its done

small update... i just found the last piece of my turbo setup the wastegate!!! im gonna pick it up tomorrow... its a ebay one (i know they suck... its only 30 bucks so thats better than 250 for a good new one... and when it breaks ill get a propler one ) and im just surfing around on ebay to get my intercooler piping, i want it to look good.... not like junk so im getting some stuff to make it all out of hard aluminum piping... they will be welded up so ther is one for the hot side and one for the cold side, no couplers in the middle

update

finished up my ignition harness last night



on the motor...




for who ever wants to know what coils they are, they are toyota 2zz coils off of a 01 corolla... i wanted to get the ones from a k20 honda and see if they fit better but i had these laying around so i used them...

the harness for the motor, still unfinished but its getting there...



and the MAP sensor mounted on the firewall....


and last but not least, bling 8)




i have a question, am i the first one to have coil-on-plug ignition in their festiva? i dont remember ever seeing one with it....

more to come

stay tuned

[timmay89]

Looking great! Let me know if you ever need help, or when you get close to finishing. I love the 4 coil set up. Keep us up to date!
