Bp swap road race festiva build.

New wheels custom order from compomotive 13x7. No more skinnies

For the header am using a Honda bseries tri y header. Got a stainless flange and just rearranging the primaries to work on the bp. Hopefully it would help make a bit more power than the kia manifold.

Oil pan baffle mod. By closing some of the gap it will keep a bit more oil in the pickup area and from sloshing around

Some before and after of the valve cover. Really want it a mazda protege valve cover but hard to find or way overpriced. sorry ford logo had to go also welded some an fitting for catch can

Bunch of work got done to the festiva after the tune. And before attending the last event of the yeae at blackhawk. Move the engine forward about 2 inches, added a resonator to get rid off the high pitched, replaced lifters after 2 attempts to clean the old ones with lil effect, also made a fan shroud with a 10" spal fan.

Well got all the inputs/outputs sorted out. Lock in base timing Put a base map to get it to idle and drive on it own. And i was able to drop it off at rada race lab for a tune

[chiquito1228]

Had to rewired the vics selonoid within the megasquirt. Will be using the boost output since i dont plan to turbo this festiva.

Good to know and If I have many cars Ford Festiva in my yard id try swap BPT or B6T just for fun. Even Diesel Ford Festiva.

No overheating at all. Am using an automatic radiator. Its thicker than the manual one. And the front air dam is moving all air towards the radiator

[Festiva GTX]

Looking good! You still use stock Festiva's radiator and does not overheat if hard racing?
