      For a Carby Festiva, you can only use a 1st Gen SOHC B6 from an 87-89 Mazda 323 or Mercury Tracer. That way you can use your carb intake from the B3

    Wow! Awesome video man. I just gladly subscribed to your channel from ESA. I got my first car which is a festiva 89 and I was thinking on buying a new engine which would be a mazda E5 1.5L Turbo. Just wondering if that would be a good idea to do this swap?

    Really enjoyed the information you put out now have me thinking on swapping a ford festiva I have! I need help on a quick question to turbo a b6d engine what ecu would you think to use? Since there wasnt a ecu for the b3 that I could find to control the fuel and air.
    My main goal was to use the b3 knowing it wasn't going to last but still going for it had the whole set up for the turbo just no point since wont be making no power hoping you could give me pointers for my project .

    • @SametIndustries
      @SametIndustries  2 года назад

      I would look for a full B6T factory setup from a Capri XR2. That way you have the stuff you need. The proper trans, the wiring, the Turbo, and the ECU

    Do i still need to do those modifications if i put b6 SOHC in my Festiva?

    • @SametIndustries
      @SametIndustries  3 года назад +1

      The 1st gen 8V SOHC B6 (88/9 323 and Tracer) is much simpler, it just bolts in, it's a direct swap. It's usually recommended to use the B6 VAF and ECU from the donor car, they plug right in.
      16v SOHC B6 requires a little work to make the intake fit since it's a different shape. Usually people get a smaller battery and put the VAF on top of where the big battery used to be.

    Excellent video. Do you know if this will work with an b6d from a mx3? Thinking about the ecu mainly.

    • @SametIndustries
      @SametIndustries  10 месяцев назад

      The MX3 uses the B6DE, which has quite a few differences, primarily the Intake shape, which makes it a difficult fit into a Festiva without custom mounting the whole drivetrain forward.
      You can still do the B3 distributor and injectors into the B6DE system like this guide, but it may not run as well vs swapping in the MX3 VAF, ECU, and associated misc wiring changes.
      We don't do that with the B6D because A. It runs well on Festiva electronics and B. The B6D distributor fails often and has zero replacement parts available anymore

    • @peterlarsson9125
      @peterlarsson9125 10 месяцев назад

      Ok. Thanx for the answer. Guess I've to live with the b3 for a while then😊 It's extremely limited amounts of b6d in Sweden and I found an mx3 in a scrapyard so I thought maybe maybe....

  • @914_werke

  • @austinpetemo
    @austinpetemo 3 года назад

    Rather than use the b3 throttle body, could you just just the b6d throttle body with the TPS from the b3 mounted on it? My TPS have 2 different plugs, but the mounting brackets are the same. The b3 throttle body looks like its more restrictive.

    • @SametIndustries
      @SametIndustries  3 года назад +1

      If you use feeler gauges to set it properly, you could potentially change it.
      The restriction in size won't really matter for power unless you are switching to a standalone ECU though, which would require a different TPS anyway.
