    Also, I keep seeing the term here...but what does B6 mean?
    B6 signifies an engine subseries from the B series engines from Mazda. The B6 was not included in the Festiva, but the B3 was. The B3 is a 1.3L carburated single overhead cam engine.

      ^ Here it starts! :iconbiggrin:

      A B6 is a 1.6 liter Mazda B-series 4 cylinder. Basically a larger version of what you have now (a B3).

      A B6 makes 82 HP and 92 lb-ft of torque.

      A B3 makes 63 Hp and 73 lb-ft.

      It's an easy swap. basically like replacing what you already have.

      B3s can be fuel injected too. Mine is.

        Welcome! Where're you from, OzOne? It's always great to hear about newcomers to the Festiva world!

          Thanks for clearing that up Chaos and JPT, it's a bit clearer now.
          Perhaps one day i will do a swap, but for the moment...my stock "B3" is bringing me great pleasure!
