You don't need a/c that's what windows are for.

Wow, looks great, nice clean work. I'll be watching carefully and taking notes for my own bp swap.
some q's;- did you adjust the firewall and frame? I cant tell from the pic's.
-are orig. cv shafts going to work?
-you have a lot of new stock parts, would you mind listing some sources and prices to help others find good deals?

You don't live in Florida.

True but it's HOT here. And cruising windows up and music on is sometimes cool.

-I didn't touch the firewall. If you use the stock trans then you'll need to adjust the firewall.

-original cv would work, but with this trans capri xr2 axles work.

- rockauto and multiple different online shops

keep the a/c ... fastest festiva with a/c is the best .....cut speed holes in the rear bumper and do a rear mount intercooler

No to the "speed holes"

I've already thought about the rear mount intercooler. It's a possibility.

[phyaz91]

haha ...you could make it work we believe....maybe some sore of louvers to direct airflow underneath

[yelo festiva]

How about some sort of fins on the air pipe you already use? The length is about what a conventional inter cooler would be. Or get fancy and flatten out the pipe and make it a duct of sorts with fins? I dunno just a thought.

You can always mount an air/water core in the spare tire well or underneath and put the heat exchanger up front or underneath. Add ice to the reservoir when you go to the track.


Or... mount the intercooler to the dash so that when you turn the a/c on it blows cold air across it!

I think you should keep the a/c because its nice and you love it.

They are routed just like stock. I did have to cut some of the bumper to keep them that way.

I got my 460cc injectors last night, so I'll be able to crank the boost

New updates coming soon............. And the track just opened back up on Wednesday nights, so I'll be going for 12's too.

[Damkid]

^^Good luck Greg!! i'm looking forward to seeing you make 12's :thumbright:

Update.............

Megasquirt....take 2.

Finally got big injectors, and time to install them.

I ended up getting a set of '91 rx-7 turbo injectors. (550cc) Part# 195500-2020. They are plug and play.

I drove it with the big injectors tonight, and started cranking the boost.

I was able to go to 15 lbs. of boost and only saw 65% duty cycle on these injectors.

I still need some fine tuning and it'll be crazy. So far the Megasquirt seems user friendly (not laptop friendly) I'll be able to get it dialed in soon.

It's on guys. :lol:

vids or it didnt happen :evil4:

I knew that's what you'd say.

Where's your turbo? coughchangeofsubjectcough

I'll take it to the track and get vids soon.
