Turbo Turtle festiva

[tls_zx3]

couple questions.

what cars use a cable f series? i really dont want to swap to hydro

has any one ever used a civic radiator with a bp swap? if so any pics of how you got the upper outlet to work with the dist clearance

[tls_zx3]

yeah it is the same dimension side to side as the bp. it is just taller cause it has more stroke.

just curious has any one on here ever swapped a fe3 engine into a festiva?

Nope not that I know of, I've heard there is a G series trans that bolts to it meaning the only real question would be if there's enough physical room for it between the frame rails

cool pic from the other day. we had a meet. bunch of focus guys and 2 bp festi's

i built the engine in that saleen focus. its making 260whp right now with a 15g. he is switching to a gt28rs soon.

well i dont think i want to keep the e series and spend money on it if it is so weak. i would like to have a trans that i dont have to worry about tearing up. the cv axles are no good on my e series any way so a f series trans i can get for 65 bucks at pull-a-part a new clutch and new cv axles for it wouldnt cost much more than fixing the e series

Yes, stock F-series clutch will hold on the BP fine. Although, you may want to get a new one when you get the trans.

Another option would be a stronger E-series clutch.

When I ran a BP/F series, the clutch held up just fine

[tls_zx3]

got my break in miles on my engine. tested out wot. car runs and pulls smooth but the clutch will not hold 3, 4, or 5 ever at wot. 2nd holds sometimes. 1st holds but tires dont. pretty awesome haha

going to start doing some research on a trans upgrade. right now im leaning toward the f b/c of how easy they are and i dont plan to turbo the car. will the stock f clutch hold the bp fine?

[FeistyFesti]

if i build two long tube headers for a bp festiva would any one on here be willing to buy the second. the piping kit i will be getting is for a v8 so i will have enough for 2

Depends how much you sell them, I'd be interested! Bout to buy me some BP headers asap.

[Damkid]

Sweet glad to hear your getting it all fixed up

[tls_zx3]

lights are fixed. apparently the small connector on the festiva is for the dash lights, dinger, and tail lights and on the 626 it is used for cruise or something like that. i just jumped it to the headlights so all 3 come on with the headlights instead of having a separate switch like stock

injector orings are also fixed. it runs much better. i think the rock hard stock orings were also creating a vacuum leak.

[tls_zx3]

update on my int wiper switch. my dash lights and tail lights dont work. every thing else operates fine. any one know which wires power these 2 so i can jump them to the headlight switch

[tls_zx3]

hand painted the blue. i sprayed the blue into the cap and painted it on with a small brush

[Basement_Modder]

I love the dual paint on the VC. Did you paint it blue than paint black over it and sand down to the blue, or hand paint the blue?
