Howdy guys! I got about 80% of my "Stage 1" parts in and put on my car. My "Stage 1" parts consist of:
> Mountune Motor Mount
> Mountune Symposer Delete Kit
> TurboSmart Wastegate
> TurboSmart Blow-Off Valve
> Sparco Rally Mud Flaps
If you're interested, this is my 'overview' thread -- > http://www.fiestastforum.com/forum/threads/5761-My-Rally-Fiesta-It-Starts
The first parts to come in where the Blow-Off Valve and my Wastegate.
The Blow off valve is pretty easy to install actually. I was going to make a How-To video, but Spool Tuning beat me to it. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU8CojCFPc0 ]
I followed the instruction and had no problems with the install. The only thing I would add to the video, is that if you take off the passenger tire, you can use a long extension and a slight pivot socket adapter to easily remove the three alen bolts holding the BFV on.
HERE IS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE! -->[ https://www.dropbox.com/s/02fjgydo9mgzkla/1.6 blow off.mp3?dl=0 ] just audio, video wouldn't work. =( It also sounds better under load, not quite the same without resistance.
As for the Wastegate... well... I didn't put that on... YET! The instructions recommended tuning the car after the install, if not, the engine will run lean and possibly cause problems. Not to mention, its a pain in the ass to get to. I plan to put it on once I get an Intake, a larger Intercooler, and a tuner. There is a local shop near by that does tunes for pretty cheap. Or at least cheap for my needs.
---- Next to come in was my MounTune Roll Resistor and Symposer Delete Kit. ----
Both are very easy to install as well.
The Symposer is just a couple clips and relocating a hose. Having a pair of bent pliers helps tremendously, getting between the radiator and the engine leaves you little room to pinch the hose clamps. I removed the bottom hose clamp and pulled the whole assembly out of the bay. (makes it easier to work with) Then you simple pull the symposer off and add the block in its place.
I took it a bit further and removed the battery so that I could completely remove the left over hose. It connects near the battery and up next to the firewall. I removed the hose and stuffed part of a towel in the opening and sealed it with tape. Ghetto, but effective.
The MounTune Rear Motor Mount is a huge improvement, I highly recommend it to any FiST owner. It makes the car and shifting feel so much more stable. Having access to a left made the install easier for me, but it can also easily be done on jack stands.
CJ Pony Parts also beat me to this How-To video as well. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F0cmckPyPg ] They used a COBB mount in the video, but the procedure is all the same. Follow the video and you should be all set.
