Festiver build thread

[Festiver]

Thanks bhazard, just one more thing for me to do before the swap. Twistys are fun but being in New Mexico there are lots of far away places where 80+ mph cruising is the norm. I drove the XR2 out here from Chicago and although I am sure the B6T is not working hard @3,500 rpms I don't see any reason to gear it so low, especially in a 900 lb (maybe 1,000 lb, the XR2 had a hardtop) lighter Festiva. I guess that's why we swap in the B6T's right? Also, I have not figured out how to add my vehicles to the lower portion of my postings? huhuhh Thanks in advance.

I wouldnt worry about your acceleration you still will have the same 1st - 4th

we need to find us a six speed that will fit the B engines.

Our E and F series transmission are already double overdrive... What would be better is a better final drive ratio, especially behind any B6/8 engine. The torque is there, so why not use it.

Speaking of which I need to do that bhaz you're a smart guy what do you think of that eBay link think it's worth the shot?

Yeah the seller is a well-known Capri parts dealer. He's a good guy.

However you can hit up a guy named "azgtx" on here or clubprotege and get the same thing without a markup.

Hey off topic but how do you properly adjust a 3 wire TPS

The intake came out pretty nice. Did you notice a difference with the VAF at different angles? I like your gravity approach to VAF tuning, and I'm interested in what you've found with that.

My idea made sense but I was having a weird problem with very slight throttle like neutral @ 1500-2k the engine would dip as if it was trying to idle even thought it's not idling the only things I can think to blame is the TPS and the intake being at a weird angle I havent started her since the intake though

The TPS not being set up correctly, or being faulty will cause the engine to behave like you've mentioned.
