Real Fiero Tech

If you want to join our mailing list to see what's going on, you're more than welcome to. The activity just died down again, maybe you can help pick it back up. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/UtahFieros/ Just put down something that let's me know you're not a spammer and I'll approve you right ...

Yeah, our club is free.

I went to the junkyard today and found a Fiero owner working there and got him on our mailing list. He is member number 82.

Our list just sprang to life and it looks like we might meet up soon.

You're welcome to join us if you want. Where are you located?

Good luck with that. We have had Utah Fiero Owners up and running for about 7 or 8 years now. Even though we have about 70 members on the mailing list, only 5 or so messages have been sent in the last few months. We can usually get 3 or 4 to show up to a meeting, and most of them show up in a vehicl...

I took mine to the GM dealer and had one of them do it. They didn't charge me anything. They didn't know how to do it either. Good thing they had that book and the proper tools.

I wanted to keep my trunk and not cut anything. Eventually I figured a spot to fit a Spearco 231 cored liquid intercooler. Plumbing was a pain and this ended up nickel and diming me to about $600 without the price of the IC and pump included. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFiero/DSC02...

Wrong thread.

Too late. It's now where the water trap was.

I can't decide if I want to use them or sell them. Right now I have the stock 120 speedo with a Sunbird turbo tach. It almost looks stock. On the pillar I have an Auto Meter Phantom boost and narrow band AFR gauge. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFiero/DSC00822.jpg Then I have these Au...

I relocated mine toward the left to the rear bumper on the left side to the left of the left frame rail. It's sort of above (and to the left of) the left exhaust tip. Completely out of sight. Yeah, my cruise control vacuum can is completely hidden there already. I'm running out of places to hide th...

Is it not a good idea to remove this? My intercooler has invaded it's space. Should I just relocate it (no idea where I could put it) or can it be removed? And what is the proper way to deal with the fuel and vacuum lines to and from it?

Hey, Marq, that intake looks damn nice. Is that all machined or is the "Turbo GT" a seperate piece?

Dammit - p-i-e-c-e

Why does Paypal leave your "Payment pending" for 3 damn days when it comes right out of my bank account?? My pipes won't be here this weekend for sure. Son of a....

One thing I am hunting for is a fill point for the intercooler. Does anyone know of a place to get something like that? It would really be nice if the inlet/outlet were 3/4" so I don't need adapters all over the place. I saw a filler in an auction for an entire PWR intercooler kit and fell in ...

I'm gonna have to wait on that pump for a bit. It says right on it to not run dry, so I'll fill the system before I give it power. The label says it pulls 25 watts. One thing I am hunting for is a fill point for the intercooler. Does anyone know of a place to get something like that? It would really...

The battery is up front now. By cooling fan do you mean the radiator or the fan for the alternator/coil? This is an 88 and doesn't have that coil fan. I was hoping to tap in right in the general area without having to run wires all over, but I might not have much of a choice. But wait... I forgot I ...

I'm using one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-Liquid-Heat-Exchanger-for-Intercooler-Turbo-N-R_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33742QQihZ020QQitemZ30040299QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDV I am also having him make me 2 smaller ones to fit in the side scoops. They will serve a good purpose and I need so...

I mounted my water pump in the passenger's side wheel well. Now I need power supplied to it when the key is on. Where would be the closest/best place to tap in? I was thinking the fuel pump, but I don't want to pull current headed to that. Any ideas? http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/NemesisFie...

Well, my rear wheels (with stock axle length) will end up with a 6.5" or so offset (19x13 wheels with zeroish offset). The car is lowered, but not exactly how much - about 2"? Right now I have a 2.8 with a turbo mounted at the back, so moving the motor around might not be an option. I'm al...

The inner pivot points are raised .75". There isn't much more room until the inner CV joint connects the mounts. IIRC, the links tilt up towards the wheel with the car sitting on the ground. So any upward movement is going to pull the bottom of the tire in even more. I wonder if offset links wo...

Has anyone investigated the rear camber gain on an 88? Looking at pics of me autocrossing, the rear has a noticeable amount going on. With adjustable rear links (I have a line on premade units with poly bushings) to widen the rear, this can be fixed, right? My custom made cradle already has the toe ...
