Wes's "Red Rocket" B6T build

[festivaWES]

Yeah e-series for now, Greg. I'll upgrade to the awd protege trans later on. I'm not going to drag this car for it is my daily driver. I'll beat on it alittle bit. If the trans breaks i have another one on backup.

Flyin4stroke - i used a protege transmission mount turned upward.

Marcus it is a 323 MC i bought BNIB a long time ago. Figured it would be the most ideal time to use it.

[festivaWES]

First crank of the motor today...no start. Fuel issue - no power to pump, but i have power to the relay on start position. Festiva runs power from the acc. position.

I'm thinking of bypasing the relay because i think it is bad....

Thoughts??

[perucho]

Buy another relay. They are a very inexpensive way to prevent melted wires and car-b-q's

[Damkid]

My festiva's fuel pump is on it's own separate circuit with 8 gauge wire

[Flyin4stroke]

Is that what that smell is!

[festivaWES]

bypassed the fuel pump relay....no spark at the plugs....dammit! I do have it at the coil though....

[gorgonheimer]

Cap n rotor? Is the spark really bright and blue or kinda yellow?

[festivaWES]

I worded it wrong i have power to the coil but not all the end going to the disty...bum coil.

Changed the bug and cap already.

the msd blasters are a nice coil, im surprised yours took a dump... when we were firing up the b3 that we turbod, the arc on the coil was very powerful, where did you mount your coil?

[festivaWES]

strut tower, drivers side.

[Maxtiva]

I want to hear this beast. Good luck with your project !!!

[ford4life]

strut tower, drivers side.

thats where we put our too, if we mount it againt the fire wall were going to need to expand the cables, good deal tho!
