Wes's "Red Rocket" B6T build

[festivaWES]

i don't have a rocketchip...at least yet. The other plug connector is grey in color. Looks like the stock festiva style distributor plug.

I don't think it is the BP sensor but the boost gauge sensor... idk.

[festivaWES]

How it sits..




Sensor missing


Over boost sensor plug


Broken wire.

Timing marks,...





TDC..

The gap on that plug is huge! At least that's how it looks. That missing sensor looks to be the baro. Not 100% sure. Rocketman would know for sure. Its necessary.

[festivaWES]

The plugs are iridiums. The gap isn't that huge.

[bhazard]

Oh, well I've always been told to use coppers at 35-40 thousandths with these. Not sure how iridiums run.

[shadetree]

Grounds look correct ! What about plugs are they getting wet with gas ??? Might have to check fuel pressure ?

[festivaWES]

Plugs wet...checked fuel pressure. 43psi at rail.

Do you have a spare main harness relay? the reason i ask is because when i could not get my B6T to run (no spark) my friend took my main harness relay, opened it up and crimped it so it was constantly "on" and my festiva fired right up, maybe its worth a try on yours if you have a spare relay to mess around with

The only downfall to doing that is it will drain your battery, so what i did to fix that was instead of having constant power running to the relay, i ran power in the "on/start" position, never had a problem with it after that

Long time no update....

Here are some more pics. Car finally running. Hopefully motor fully done this weekend coming...

[Maxtiva]

Nice update and nice working place. You still have the E-serie tranny? Why you're not upgrading?

[festivaWES]

I want an awd setup in the future when i upgrade.. I have it lying around but too many projects at the moment.

Holy thick radiator. Is that an ebay bov?

[freshtiva]

Good progress Wes, when are you bringing that bad boy up to the ranch ? Maybe we could do some work on my BP swap while you are here. In between beers of course.

[Basement_Modder]

Lookin' good.
