Sweet! Loving the input guys, it's def what I was hoping for. When we turbo a 2WD car we would be thrown into the stiffer competition G5 class. A powerful normally aspirated engine would probably be best for our next years competing when I really think of it, and by then we will probably have a built up clutch, transmission, braking system as well.

I think the B8/BP would be just what you're looking for. If you built up a block with some fancy pistons and the like, you could have one heck of a torquey monster! Love the car.

Hahahaha right on schedule, Chris. I knew you were going to post that before I even read it lol. PS - check your email regarding brake stuff.

This link will give you the best idea of where rallys are being held. Lake Superior Performance Rally is coming up and that's nearby.

Picked up a BP motor after searching for a good 2 months. Has less than 3k miles on it. Came with all the parts attached including the tranny, then he gave me the front axle, hubs, and shocks. I've been looking at the swap thread and I think I still need to pick up a performance clutch, do an aspire brake and tranny swap, as well as find an ECU for the beast before it goes in. I have some pictures and such to post from the recent rallys. Haven't had the time to post them with school going on. I'll see if I can get them up in the photos and videos thread tomorrow.

If its a g-series trans u got with the engine then use it, u dont wanna have an aspire trans behind that bp bc it will NOT handle the abuse. Spiders will let loose and go through the case (had it happen 3 timed behind my b6-me) the g series is a more difficult swap but worth the effort. The f-series requires no cutting or bashing with the bp at all, just new mounts. I did a bp/f swap in my moms festy and its a breeze an

That depends on how you drive it

Re: Car #789

WTFestiva, do you have the Aspire swap? If not, I HIGHLY suggest it. It will help your car counter the BP's power with sports-car-like braking ability, and only takes an afternoon to accomplish. Good luck in your racing, and let's see more pics of the Flying Festiva!

I've been looking for a good aspire, or any for that matter neaby, i think i found a couple but we're working on getting that done first while the engine is getting cleaned , gaskets replaced, and valve cover fixed.

[festyfreak39]

this is awesome! glad to see you guys doing this!

Rally would be considered abuse. A stock fest or aspire trans built for 60 ish hp wont last long at 120hp

Stock tranny's can take long pulls, just not hard launches
