Real Fiero Tech

Thanks for replying Shaun. I was really hoping for you to chime in.

You know I didn't get a dyno snapshot but it looked like this

What spark plug gap are you guys running for 8psi on a 2.8 turbo? My engine it's cutting off past 5k rpm and I think it's the plugs. ECM has been chiped for 2bar map by Sinister, has MSD 6a box and MSD coil, cap and rotor and Magnecor wires. New module, new pickup, stock timing. Running 1 range cold...

No problem. I understand.

BTW, I sent you a PM.

Will, I understand you're currently on duty. But, were you able to get in contact with your Dad? I'm really looking forward to making a deal with you for a pair of heads. Bear in mind I'm currently stranded on my engine buildup. The only other option I have is making a hybrid aluminum head engine. B...

Will, let me know the price for the pair and the status on the valves. I'm really interested since these could prove greatly beneficial for my turbo build. Do you know if I can use can use stock sized SI valves on those if the TI valves are not available?

LMK, Thanks

Anyone?

Just need a good set of Ported and Polished heads with valves.

Very simple, Anyone has a set of these willing to sell? I received a call today from my machinist saying that one of my heads is cracked and therefore won't hold hold up to my Turbo build. I'm also willing to buy a good P&P set if you have them. Don't need springs, locks or guideplates since I d...

Do you know if Sinister can do me a chip with the same config the current one has but with the EGR deleted?

Actually the brown wire from the NEO is ground as well. What I meant is that I connected the orange wire (Illumination) from the AFC to the brown wire that the car lighter bulb uses. I connected the green wire from the NEO to the white (RPM) wire near the ECM. I did the same thing as you did to iden...

I used the following wires.

MAP signal - C11 & C12 (LT GRN)
TPS Signal - C13 (DK BLU)
IG Power - A6 (PNK/BLK)
Ground - A12 (BLK/WHT)
Illumination - BRN wire from car lighter bulb
RPM - WHT wire from C500 to Tach

Is this ok?

ecm is 7170 (stock) engine is 2.8

Hey Shaun, do you have a wiring diagram for the SAFC? I bought a new AFC neo for my fiero and wanted to hook it up this weekend. I actually have all the wiring figured out except the rpm wire. however it would be good to have some feedback from someone that has already installed it. LMK, thanks.

My swap was built with an Isuzu tranny out of a '99 sunfire, I think it was. It's held up great through some hard driving, hasn't skipped a beat yet. What did you do to the shift and selector arm linkage? Did you replaced it with one from the Fiero or modified the one from the sunfire? I have a Q4 ...

Ok, so if it is an isuzu could it be possible to change the selector bracket and cable bracket with a Fiero one?

Anyone has input on the F23 tranny?

Sorry for so many questions.

2.4 engine



2.4 tranny



Sunbird Tranny



Not perfect. Pics taken with my phone.

Will, a friend of mine has a getrag out from a V6 chevy. Are you still willing to lend me (or sell me) the 282 bellhousing? Let me know I'm interested. I went junkyarding today and found a 1997 cavalier with a 2.4 TC and manual transmission. He's asking $1,200 for the whole engine and transmission. ...

Ok, so there is no way the car will feel right with the auto. So which route should I go: 1- Find a manual fiero to swap all the shift parts and search for a getrag? 2- Get a J body, remove the tranny and buy the rest of the parts to do the conversion? Both cars are very hard to find in Puerto Rico....

Wow. Great explanation! :blah5:

Ok, so it's time for me to move on to another chapter with my Fiero. This time I won't be following the V6 route so I will ditch my mildly modded 2.8 in favor of more standard HP baseline and leaner mass. A family friend has given me a 1991 Grand Prix with a LO Quad4 engine "Vin D" mated t...

Hold the Pulley with a vice and use an impact gun to loosen the nut.
