Festiva @ JDMUnlimited Meet

[Gforcefd]

That is beautiful! I like it because its still as dependable as the stock festiva, even with that engine in it because it is a honda!

I like people that cross cars. Like the Nissan 200sx with the LS1 on streetfire.net

Truth is, the car looks amazing, but I agree with elcamino1,

I have always heard that Honda engines last "forever".

I can understand the torque to HP ratio is off, but does anyone have any other complaints?

Interference engine. You better cahnge that timing belt. With the mazda b series you can run 'em til they break!

Wow that really is a clean install, look at that engine bay, nothing that is not needed. Very cool. I like the stance of the car too.

seems like a waste of fabrication time considering mazda engines make equivalent power and take much kinder to aftermarket modification.

to each their own, but dollar for dollar a BP would cost 1/4th the cost and can handle being boosted better than an unbuilt b16/b18.

but thats just what i know from my own experience.

Love thoes rims very nice car.

[Damkid]

that swap probably took a lot of work!! so congrats to that guy!!

i think you are on crack with that statement. b16/18 honda engines can take about 350 - 370whp on stock internals. i rebuilt an ls/vtec (non vtec b18 bottom/ b16 vtec head) for 11.5:1 C/R, then turboed it with a thick headgasket lowering it to 10.2:1 C/R boosting 15psi on a 50 trim t3/t4 making about 360whp on cast pistons/stock rods with arp rodbolts. block limit on a b16/18 is about 450whp on stock bore sleeves. honda aftermarket stuff cost a fraction of mazda aftermarket, unless you look at the bling jdm stuff.

i have a friend with an integra turboed stock engine that ran 11.99 last season. and he daily drives it.

the d-series block limit on stock sleeves is about 500whp. search up d16 vitara build.

That looks sick. I love the color!
