Festiver build thread

[Festiver]

This morning I was letting the engine warm up in my driveway. I thought the ground was flat. I let her in neutral sat for a second before getting out just to make sure she wouldnt roll. well after 7min of sitting perfect still while I was in the garage, she rolled forward.... Into the back of my dad's truck. Shattered the headlight lens luckily I have the red car to lend festiver a headlight.

...and with the bp the power is great but the torque is even better roads id have to downshift twice and hold at 3500 rpm just to keep my speed up I can easily cruise in 5th at 2200 rpm with light throttle

I have similar results with my B6T! With three adults and two storage bins full of dishes I didn't have to downshift on any of the hills between Edmonton and Calgary while maintaining 110-130kph (70-80mph).

It's holding up fine. I have a stock flywheel, stock clutch disc and Spec Stage 2 pressure plate.

I wouldn't worry too much about the rpms with the g series. I ran mine 80 85 from Newbern NC to salem il no problems yeah the rpm are up there but it won't hurt anything but fuel milege I only get 32-35 at them speeds.
B6d+g I'm getting a 5th gear swap in a few weeks though! Should help with mpgs a bit . I get 35-42 depending on how much fun I have back and forth to work. I'm hoping with the gear swap I can get closer to 50 when I really try.

I wish I was getting those mpg something is off with my bp swap I only get 22-24 mpg normally hoping it'll clear up with the new engine

Ok so I feel like I'm starting a new topic in general discussion every other day so I apologize. That just a bunch of things I want to talk about and or opinions on festiva wise but anyway exhaust notes nothing I love more than aggressive pops crackles and bangs when a car let's off the throttle now before someone says just go v8 I'm sticking to my bp lol

How does a 4 cyl get this angry over run exhaust note I've heard everything from large diameter pipe, straight pipe, over fuel tune idk what works with a bp when I had my 3" straight pipe it didnt crackle or anything the occasional backfire though so do I have to go microsquirt and tune a little more fuel in the overrun?

If I could have a festiva that sounded like this I'd be a forever happy man lol I just can't do the unreliable part

Sequential fuel and spark engine management and set the softcut rev limit to do that. Also anti lag and traction control/launch control can be set up to sound like that. As far as the depth of tone, it helps that the Neon is a 2.4L. The 1.8 isn't going to be as deep.

The popping on the over run is done with your fuel and spark maps. I had mine set so it would do that. It's been a while since I played with that so I can't remember exactly what I did though lol.

After I go microsquirt I'll have to have it tuned anyway there's a world-class tuning shop less than 3 mi from me im a bit scared of the shunning I'll received for my "ricer" request but I don't care itll be worth it

Yeah I figured the displacement gave it the depth of tone oh well and I would love to play with the 3 step control but I'll need a beefy header before I go that extreme

Microsquirt can support 4 logic level (5v) coils iirc, so you should be able to have sequential spark. You'll need to start researching which coils to run. I know GM coils are pretty popular.
