Issue after issue after issue.

Ran into some bumps, some car related, some not. Worked slow, very slowly.

Started pulling the engine and trans out of Baby Car at about 2:30 AM, and set it on the ground just a bit ago, close enough to 6:30 AM to call it 4 hours pulling it all out. My help crapped out on me about 4:30 AM anyway. Not too bad all in all.

I think I will start a proper build thread now, Thanks for all the help and support guys, pics to come!

OK, new seals and stuff is all on the B6, just have to put the oil pan on, and the swap begins!

Hey! With a B6, will I officially be driving a Fastiva? Or do I need turbo to call it that?

Downpipe and MTX throttle body acquired!

The first picture in the TPS on the b3. The second picture is a tag off of my TPS on my B6 with MTX. Neither look like the one on your B6.

Right, but they are listed as the same part, B6MTX and B3 MTX. My B6 is off an ATX. Is there any difference in the throttle body itself that will keep me from using my B3 TPS on there?

[freshtiva]

I hope so!

I have a question. Can I use the manual TPS off my B3 on that throttle body?

Is this for power steering or an AC pulley/ tensioner?

looks like a/c to me

Cleaning it up, I don't think I am going to paint it! No rust, no missing paint, high humidity, this should look good as is.

Read: I chickened out!

Power steering pump bracket. A/c idler mounts in the same place for manual steering cars (which is of course nearly all of us!).

Sent from the bathroom via crapatalk.

Sweet, thanks!

I had a hunch, but I wasn't 100%...

Crud! I keep forgetting to ask! Will the BP or B8 Downpipe work with this mani? I haven't found a 323 downpipe yet.

Edit:

It looks like a Protege downpipe with the SOHC would work.

Or an Escort GT!

Oh, and did I mention the monster jug of purple power I bought with you in mind?

[scitzz]

I like Marvel Mystery Oil as well. How much should I use in a festy tank with the B6?

[FestYboy]

yeah, you can use the B6 dizzy, it uses the same pickup. as for the fuel additive: MMO or seafoam. not a fan of Lucas.

Oh! I keep forgetting! This is a 92, so it doesn't have vacuum advance on the disty, and the plug looks like it might be the same, at a glance. Can I use this one?
