Kenny's B6t Festiva

[Aspire]

Looks good.

Curious, what exactly is sticking out of the sides of the motor mount? It looks like rubber washers.

Thats exactly what they are. They were on the festiva mount when i took it out. I figured it would help with vibration a little.

Oh and the big news, i was going through the bag of receipts i got when i bought the 323 and i found a dyno sheet. my b6t put down 170 hp and 175ft lbs of torque on 12lbs of boost on a mustang dyno. not too shabby

Got my turbo back from the shop they made it so pretty,

Had a new oil inlet line made yesterday

installed a gtx upper wing on my festiva


My friend came over and we persevered the rain and made a 2 1/2 inch exhaust system for the car today. with a magnaflow muffler and cat

i have been working on an open grill at school in my spare time, i used a 91 grill because i wanted a challenge, haha i think it turned out pretty good. gonna throw a coat of black on it after spring break.

^^^ That grill turned out sick! I want to do it to my 88 grille, way easier but mine has a crack in it...

Thanks man, it still needs a little work but its getting there.

and on a sad note i was finishing up my b6t swap today plugged everything in put the fluids in turn the key and nothing.

I used a 323 gt harness so its a little different than the capri.

I have power to the starter and the festiva fuse block but none to the coil pack.(im confused on the coil, do you use the festiva harness to the coil or the b6t harness to the coil) So if someone could help me out i would be forever grateful, Thanks

You splice two wires from the green connector into the stock Festiva coil wires and use the Capri coil.

I had a problem with no spark for the longest time, and this was my solution:

Here is the wiring for the coil:

the chris rummel write-up is basically useless for the 323 harness, they are very different

Thanks man,
i have the coil wiring all figured out, i get what your talking about with knock box, but have no idea whats going on in that picture you took of it. Any chance you could explain to me whats going on.

[KB Motors]

so i wired up the coil (correctly) today and i cut open the knock box connection and found the webbing stuff, i grounded that, and i got nothing, i used a remote start to turn the engine over but i got no spark and no power to the ignition coil. and when i turn the key nothing at all happens

im thinking i did something wrong under the dash, i followed chris's write up, i guess im gonna take it apart and double check everything and see what happens.

if anyone has any input i would love to here it, many thanks

i still haven't got the car running yet,

but i figured if my car doesn't work it should look good, so i put on my new wheels and tires and my Ksport coilovers i bought from BUSTIVA

[Hot_Wheels]

are those the ksports for the 323 gt? what did you pay?

I think they were for a vw jetta, i bought them used front Bustiva, for $450 shipped, not a bad deal

Today my uncle came over, he is a ford master tech, of course it was raining all day, but we were determined to get my festiva running today, after 4 long hours in the rain we found the problem.

As with wiring it was something simple, someone had been in the wiring before and a couple of the dist. wires going to the connector were severed.

a Few soldered wires later the fastiva was born.

here is a video for your pleasure
