  • Last night I pulled the intake off and both headers and started getting my turbo pipes installed so I can get the oil lines made up, figure out where to put my wideband etc

    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

    • BOTH headers? I mean you're driving a festiva. Don't you mean header?!

        • I have four headers on my Festiva(s). Lol

          Picked up the water pump today for Chuck. No time to install though, had to fix the trailer lights so I won't have to mess with them in the morning before the trip to Danny's.
          No festiva for me ATM...

              • Started port-matching the intake and ordered a new Beck Arnley oil pump and Speedi-Sleeve from Rock Auto for my early B6. Only $60 for the pump on closeout!! Should be here this week, so maybe I can assemble the engine during the Holiday Season!!

                  • Not mine but today I drove 300 miles round trip to pick up this:



                    Its the car Danny (kumalaba) bought from Paul (neaderpaul) recently. '90L-Plus 5-speed with 66k on it. Motor is supposed to be blown but it turns over easily enough with the starter. I'm gonna try a couple quick fixes and see if it will run. Doesn't matter much because its coming out anyway for an '89 B6 to go in . Should be a fun little car!

                    In other news, I got a couple steps closer to having my B6 swap done on Chuck so it will be out of the garage to make room for Danny's car. New water pump and front crank seal are both in, the whole motor is basically prepped, just got to decide if I want to keep fighting the axles to get the trans out and mated to the engine outside of the engine bay. Would be much easier than mating them in the bay... but... the axles are almost brand new (less than 2000 miles on them) so the circlips are in there VERY tight! We'll see lol.

                    • I drove that car up onto my dad's trailer using the starter. I tape the the bypass switch that the clutch pedal activates. leave it in 1st gear. And hit the ignition switch! Works like a charm every time. Glad you made it safely home! Looking forward to seeing Danny's ear to ear smiles!

                          • I hooked Danny up. We're buddies. It's straight and rust free per the usual neanderpaul car.

                              Oh he's gonna love it! He kept talking about how much he enjoyed the B6 in his 323 wagon. In a festiva its gonna blow him away! There is a pair of '89 323 engines at the yard I'm getting his motor from, both have comparable mileage to match the low miles on the car

                              I gotta finish my harness for Chuck today and hopefully he will be done and out of the way to start on Danny's by the weekend
