Hey man, this thread inspired me to change my thinking from the B8 into my Festiva. Not trying to thread jack - just watch and continue on:

I put a link to this thread in my Description box.


EDIT: I see you have a turbo now - looks like the Grand National/Garrett T3 60-1 no?

Hey thanks man, i guess thats like free advertising about my swap :D and yes, that is a grand national turbo

ya haha almost went with the Aspire!!! We figured a 3.1 might tow better than a 1.3 hahaha

I think we would have had trouble if we used my aspire, mainly cause of the snow we went through lol

I just read through this whole thing. Probably around 3 hours woth of reading (I'm a slow reader). You've done such amazing work in such little time. I can't wait to see the numbers this thing makes once it's finally boosted. Just makes me want to swap a KL-ZE into Protege so much more.

Good luck with the build, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread

[Damkid]

Thanks, i am probably going to get someone else to weld it all together since i've been playing around with scrap pieces of aluminum and i can't get it to weld worth a sh!t and i want it to look good when its done lol

[Mazda_Powered]

ya haha no doubt, i cant weld aluminum worth ****. any updates dude?

[Damkid]

No new updates yet, I been pretty busy at work to even touch the intake lol

[Rustypro]

how bout today??

[Damkid]

Lol nothing yet, the past couple days I've been busy with my 300ZX trying to get it through an etest so I can trade it off for a 2000 grand cherokee, so it'll probably be a couple days before any updates

[Damkid]

Injectors arrived today, now all I need is the 929 retainers

i just finished reading this and i've got to say this is a sick build. i am actually doin a klze swap into my 2000 protege on mazdas247 right now and i am surprised you were able to fit it into your car so easily

[Mazda_Powered]

a Grand Cherokee? how come a Jeep man? easy deal?

[Damkid]

An suv will make for a better family vehicle, so once I got it the aspire is going to end up in a durby then scrapyard lol
