Mission "possible"

Other then being not cost effective a 300 hp B3 would be kool.
Do your research and you will find a decorated history with race cars running the 215.

With the b3 there was just a thing a few years back with a guy who said he was building one, stuff got sour on the forum and i was just poking at that a bit.

I wasnt saying anything bad about the 215! i just cant see any rear wheel drive festiva beating a well set up fwd festiva around a tighter track.
I can see a high hp awd festiva beating a front wheel drive but i dont believe anyone who has started on that ever completed their build.
However from what i understand no one has really spent r&d, time and money to set up a rwd festi for the track. Best bet so far would maybe be the shogun but i think the ones that have been made so far are mostly either showcars or 1/4 mile cars or incomplete.

450 - 500 kg? So 990 - 1100 pounds? Even a WA is ~1800 lbs, and a WB is heavier of course.

with 80 hp........oh 800 hp, but that's not until phase 2. Its done with electric turbo chargers from J.C. Whitney.

Would just like to add that the engine is not a V6, V8 or rotary. I believe its the biggest capacity engine i can fit between the chassis rails and still keep it FWD.

He? (Could be female), states that the stock configuration of the engine makes 170kW = 227hp ish, and factory turbo. This should help narrow it down.

My guess would be a 318 from a Valiant Charger

i laughed sooooooooo hard when i read this.

[festyfreak39]

im guessing its some form of duratec deal. Focus ST stuff, Mazda speed 3 stuff, etc. Would be cool to see. Welcome !

Turbo not blower?
So its not a Detroit I3-53

[Rick the Quick]

aircooled 6 cylinder Lycoming aviation motor? It's a flat six.

It does, but knowing what continent would help a lot too. Im not up with what goes down down under... or in europe really either.

I bet its a 5 cylinder volvo like whats in your car. How much power does that make?

Hmmm.
-Factory turbo,
-Not V8, or V6 or Dorito
-approximately 227hp
-FWD configuration
-fits between the festiva frame rails (barely)
-never been done, or even thought of on the forum.
-capable of 800hp with some work.
-Probably not Ford or Mazda due to the "oil and water" comment.

My best guess is a 4G63T.

[Eaglefreek]

VW diesel.

sounds right.

[Advancedynamix]

VW diesel.

Been discussed over and over and there is no 227hp variant that I'm aware of that's not V6. Also, when has anyone ever squeezed 800hp from a 4 cylinder VW TDI?

I'm just throwing a bunch out there and seeing if any of them stick.

2.0L Turbo from a Mini
Mazda Rotary
Chevy 2.0L Ecotec turbo
