What the...?

**DeeAOne** · 02-11-2010, 11:06 AM

well, according to the guy who is doing it, there is a process to do it the right way. his theory is to cut the axle, notch one of the cuts so the weld can actually get down in the cut and have a strong bind, and then get a sleeve of some sort, titanium or steel most likely, and slide it over the weld and weld that too. of course this will have a be a strong welder and seeing that its the same welder that welds planes together on the air force base, i think it will hold if done right.

the thing im worried about is will it stay balanced.

at this point im debating pulling the motor back out and putting my original B6 diff in my 626 trans to retain stock everything, axles, hubs, etc. i kinda wish i had gone that route in the first place. lol i would be driving by now.

no! i refuse to take 1 the motor out again!! 2 take that tranny apart again!! 3 pushing the date of ur car back again just bc of a stupid axle! lol we will get it done man but trust me we dont need to get inside that trans again just try the axle cutting. if it fails save for one custum one since already one side fits ya kno?

**DeeAOne** · 02-15-2010, 03:48 AM

That one fits but might bind up. It's border line too short.

**Drummerboy** · 02-16-2010, 11:15 PM

Whats the negative of using the old dif with old axles/hubs, besides the time consuming process? If thats it, I say do it.

lol, but im preaching to the quire. All I need to do to get my car going is swap out the BOV spring. haha.

**DeeAOne** · 02-17-2010, 01:31 PM

there really isnt any. i used to think that the old diff wouldnt hold the v6 torque but according to a guy on another forum its been done more than once.

my passenger side axle is off being cut right now anyway, so hopefully it will fit.

and if i was that close to being done, my ass would be in the garage doing it. so get to it!

**DeeAOne** · 02-25-2010, 02:38 PM

i just ordered a new goodie! my birthday present to me. lol

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AFC-80105N/

it had to be small enough to fit between the headlights but thick enough to keep the big v6 cool. cant wait to see how it works out!

**SlenderEG6** · 02-26-2010, 01:41 AM

**DeeAOne** · 02-26-2010, 01:46 AM

**kfzemx3** · 02-26-2010, 08:35 PM

gooodies!

and i'm jealous, summit racing is fun place to get to pick parts up from

**DeeAOne** · 02-27-2010, 12:16 AM

everyone loves pictures! lol

here is roughly how it will sit. its ziptied right now, but i will be welding some brackets on the frame for it. the rubber mallet was helping before the zipties. lol

with the front mostly on just to see how it looks. im loving it.

im unsure on what im going to have to do about radiator hoses though. probably going to have to run some type of hard line on the upper one. and the lower outlet on the radiator is bigger than the inlet to the engine. half an inch to be exact.

**Da_unknown** · 02-27-2010, 05:58 PM

damm... its coming along very nicely......

**AV8ter** · 02-27-2010, 10:29 PM

Very nice!

You still got that festiva?

Kevin

**DeeAOne** · 02-28-2010, 12:17 AM

my buddy has a festiva if thats who you are thinking about. we were thinking about taking my old motor and putting it in there.

thanks for the comments though. im ready for this thing to be alive.

Do it lol. It bolts right in, 100%. It is the same engine as the stock festy, just bored out. I think his is a Carbed if I remember correctly, so you'd have to do an efi swap. It is a nice simple swap and if your old motor is in better shape than the one he has in there, then I'd say do it. It would only take an afternoon.

Does he DD that thing?

Kevin

his grandmother does. but its got 233,xxx so its getting weak. it is carb too. i told him to put B6T rods in mine and boost it.

my old engine had a fresh rebuild right before i got it. the bottom end looked brand new including pistons/rods. all it needs is a new crank from the crank pulley breaking off.

**AV8ter** · 02-28-2010, 01:19 PM

Damn. If I still had my festiva I'd come get that b6 from you myself. I never got motivated enough to engine swap cause the b3 was just fine. Mine had 215,000 on it when I sold it.

He should swap that thing lol.

**xdavidscenex** · 02-28-2010, 02:26 PM

louiss work on your car! lol

**DeeAOne** · 02-28-2010, 02:33 PM

what do you think i have been doing.

pictures tonight after work.

**xdavidscenex** · 02-28-2010, 02:35 PM

yayyyy :]

**DeeAOne** · 03-01-2010, 01:39 AM

tonight i didnt do much. i was scared about my upper hose not having space but i figured something out. i went to autozone and searched their entire inventory of radiator hoses. after finding two that put together would work, i used an exhaust pipe reducer to bring them together. total cost for a custom hose = $27.

this was a test fit. the hose does slide on the reducer farther. of course ill put some hose clamps on it as well.

what do you guys think will be good to coat the pipe with to keep from corrosion?

**94ej2** · 03-01-2010, 01:56 AM

looks good lou

**DeeAOne** · 03-01-2010, 02:05 AM
