Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

Can you see if the intake manifold pattern for the sohc 16v b6 (or is that a b8???) Will fit a b6t?

Updates on the aqua car not really....
I have really bad project ADD....
So I had bought a saab...
Then this happened...
Lesson learned... Always make sure your powdercoater cleans all media blast crap out of your valve cover before you put it on your motor.
That got rebuilt with forged goodness but im still waiting on $ or a turbo for it.
Then I got involved in helping with a friends mud truck....
(we never did that well no hp and no tire because no money)
About the time the mudbog season started I started my new job and now work 10-12 hrs a day and on the weekends I have a ton of sidework to do. I got tired of guessing what tools I needed at what job and constantly having a festiva packed with tool. Also I need a truck to tow the mudtruck with. After stalking craigslist for a while this made its way home.
(one of the sketchiest tows Ive done 90min with no trailer brakes)
Also around the time I got this I got the itch for a boosted festiva again since I didn't have the money to finish the aqua car I figured Id build another out of the spare parts I have laying around. Since all my spare shells are rust heaps I went and bought one from bobbyspider. Of course between work and mudbogs I didn't start working on it till a 2 months ago. But this is as far as I got.
I'd have more/better photos of everything but I lost my phone a couple weeks ago so this is all I had uploaded on facebook.
So thats where I'm at the only thing running reliably and legally is my bike. I have one stock festiva running but the wheel bearings could go at any moment and only one wheel has brakes. The ambulance runs but I havent fixed everything it needs to pass MD inspection. The white stiva I'm still trying to get the megasquirt sorted out.Better Than Nothing Racing
