Real Fiero Tech

I cut the tubing with a tubing cutter. I am going to reflare it. The new nuts are steel, probably zinc plated. The chromate treatment gives them the yellowish look.

This is where the hard line goes to the rubber line. I'm changing the rubber lines out for stainless. The old ones are all cracked and brittle. I didn't see any signs of them swelling or anything. I don't see a seat or anything in the new stainless lines or the old rubber ones. I just don't want to ...

How important is the nonthreaded end space of the brake line nut? I had to use vise grips on both of the fronts to get them off. It mangled them pretty bad. The only nuts I could find in town have the threads all the way to the end. I couldn't find any specific brake nuts just these generic steel on...

I got to the shop where it is at just as they were closing today. So I didn't get a chance to do anything. I'll check the pump and the wiring. Good to know that the vette pump is still a good choice , if the pump is bad I'll replace it with another.

Whats the top dog for fuel pumps nowadays? My GT (turbo) died on me this afternoon, it shutoff in the middle of the road. I got it off the road and into a parking lot. I was thinking it might be the ignition module so I changed that out but it didn't start. One of my buddies came up and noticed the ...

Anymore updates yet?

I'd just replace the door also. Heres is what my GT looked like after a similar incident. http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/757592/original/wreckedgt1a.jpg http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/757593/original/wreckedgt2a.jpg I caught the mirror when it fell into the cabin with me. The window was down...

Like everyone else is saying, stay safe over there.

Cool movie though.

split the topic if you have to as I don't want to ruin this thread Nice work dgz. Is it running yet? I would have put the MAT sensor after the intercooler not before the turbo. The computer needs to know what the airflow temp is going into the engine itself. After being compressed and intercooled, ...

Nothing really new here, just a couple of pics of the motor. http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/673820/original/motor2a.jpg http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/673822/original/motor3a.jpg And for the hell of it, a pic of where the air intake is going through the fenderwell. http://www.supermotors.net...

It's got the stock 7170 comp. and a 2 bar map sensor with a Dennis Lagrua chip. The 7730 is the one that Sinister made work isn't it?

Got it running again. Only had one oil leak, the distributor. Apparently you can only use the o-ring one time. Timing is set at 10 btc. Now to get it up to AbelRacing for some computer work without blowing it up. It took a month to get a set of rings for one .020 over piston :cussing: . Finally got ...

I've been watching it since I stumbled across it last year on BBC America.

I got a little bit done this weekend. 5 new pistons and rods are in. Broke a ring trying to get one of the pistons in. So I gotta wait for a new set of rings for that piston. Looking at another engine computer, maybe megasquirt. The pistons and rods were 3.4 camaro stuff.

Not sure if this would be a Other Cars or a RFTvTW, but they ain't talking shit in the thread so I put it here. I seen the link on one of the local forums.

Guys BMW gets messed up by a loose tire going down the road.

I guess I should of said aftermarket rods.
The oil was clean no water anyways, the coolant was clean. The only thing I can think that would be the cause would be the running it without the BOV even if it wasn't turning too many rpm's it was still too much for it.

Camera was at wrong setting so they're kinda small. Some updates,couldn't get it to my buddies shop as he was down for back surgery. So it is being worked on it in my garage. Got the pistons, out thought I would be able to just put some new ones on... Remember these guys, 1 and 5... http://www.super...

The pictures are in the right order. I expected #1 to look like #5. #1 was the only dead cylinder on it when I'd pull a plugwire off with it running. When I was coming home from Abel, I got off of 240 I let off the gas and there was no traffic coming, So I got back in the gas, thats when the motor t...
