My KLZE Ford Festiva build thread

[Damkid]

Thanks man, it has been idling a bit high ever since I put it back together, approx 1300 rpm, maybe it'll smooth itself out, I dunno lol

[Damkid]

Got 1 fuel rail finished up

[Mazda_Powered]

is that polished?? holy crap looks good!

[Damkid]

I just simply took a wire wheel to the rail, that's it lol and I think it looks great, I may just clear coat it as is lol

[Mazda_Powered]

ya for sure man!! see if you can run it through a buffing wheel first maybe? but ya, heavy on the clear coat, my polished rail already has a spot of rust coming up lol idk

[Damkid]

The KL rails are aluminum though so I got no worries about rust lol

[Damkid]

I finished cleaning up the fuel rails and got installed the 929 injectors (330cc) for the first while since i probably will only run low-ish boost at first (10-15 psi) then later i'll upgrade the turbo etc. since it's just not in the budget right now

comparison pic of before and after



both rails cleaned up



and injectors installed, they fit like factory



now i just gotta make an injector harness and that part of it is done at last

damn those turned out great man!! the rx7 injectors will look awesome in there lol polished aluminium and purple lol

[Damkid]

Purple? the RX7 injectors are red lol

[Mazda_Powered]

[bomdoutscort]

550's are purple

[Damkid]

That'd be the confusion since mine are 850's lol

I read the whole thread last night and I gotta say I am thoroughly impressed with the level of craftsmanship and detail you've put in to the swap. Im really looking forward to some vids with that turbo bolted on there. Keep up the great work :D
