Real Fiero Tech

second for trying new oil, and more new oil. what do you have to lose?

Here's where the other end of the muffler comes out. A short 45* + a 90* + a hanger + a tip and it should all exit where the factory intended. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk284/Honest_Don/turbofiero001.jpg A little bit of shiny for the outside :) http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk284/Hones...

Welds look good to me man. The only people who bitch are the ones who need to find something about a good build to pick apart. Your wastegate inlet, and dump, are both well-designed and well-positioned. I likes. Your exhaust is also very nice. You definately won't have any problems there. If I may ...

Its duplicolor 1607. I haven't seen a nice stocker in awhile, but I think its pretty close.

well, it seems life has slowed the progress down a bit, but I'm still getting somewhere slowly but surely. Here's a few pics of getting the downpipe/exhaust made up. remember now, I never claimed to be a welder :) http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk284/Honest_Don/turbo024.jpg http://i283.photobuck...

I don't think so

Looks like a great build. The compressor on that turbo is huge for a 2.8l, it absolutely dwarfs the turbine. It's really annoying that you won't post the pictures here though. Here ya go... Thought I'd share a few pics of what I've been working on the past few months. Started with this http://i283....

looks good! :thumbleft:


btw, I think it was pacesetter, but they made a dual out tip that had something like an additional glasspack built in. summit used to sell em.

ahh dammit. I was gonna post some new pics for you guys but it looks like my host isn't going to come back


things are coming along though :thumbleft:

before I swapped cams, my 2000 Firebird would get as high as 32 on the highway, if I behaved myself. Even with the big cam, I still get in the high 20's

you will need to raise the motor somehow to get the oil pan out. Though the engine does have to be raised, it isn't very much. As soon as you get the weight off the mounts, it can come out. However you will need to remove the engine mount and its U-bracket, which is why the engine needs to be lifte...

why is the auto tranny a bad thing? it'd need a shift kit for sure but, brake-boosting and staying in boost between shifts sounds like quite an advantage. not to mention, its almost always easier to launch an auto look at the stock from the factory 1/4 mile times - almost a FULL SECOND between the ...

dumb idea imo.

I have them gapped smaller around .025 I think.

boost and nitrous and you didn't even drop a heat range or two? you are braver than I, my friend

Hey, Jay made it over! How ya doin?

what sparkplugs are you using?

I wouldnt' get yoru hopes up too high. That autot ranny is going to kill you. I might see a 14.5 in your future but thats probably it on the motor. If you do spray it, you might hit mid to low 13's pending on the size kit you use at probably around 100 mph or so. Quick for a v6 fiero why is the aut...
