Real Fiero Tech

I live in central KY at about 1000 ft elevation (91KPA is WOT), but the car pulled a 1000 lb trailer from MI to FL, and has been driven through WI, MI, IL, IN, OH, KY, TN, AR, AL, GA and FL ZZ4 roller cam. Advance below 80KPA is mostly stock B-car with cast iron LT1 heads. At 90 KPA and higher I run...

P.S. I mean the 4.8 won't like a 2.88:1 with a 0.696:1, a Jaguar is too heavy for that. On another note, I concede that plenty of guys claim to be running 10.3:1 Vortec 350s on 91 octane, but where's the proof? My vortec head SBC Fiero has been running 10.2:1 compression and 89 octane for 25K miles...

With 24.6" tires, 6K in 3rd will get you just under 97 mph.

I never weighed them, but the 88's are quite a bit beefier than the earlier years:

On my blue car, I relocated the 500 connector, fuel/AC relays, power distribution, etc to the center console (ECM is still there too) and ran the rear tail light harness through the double firewall section. That allowed for a single bulkhead connector and it was relocated down by the shifter cables....

One of the benefits of these hydraulic throwout bearings is the bleeder line comes out tangent to the top of the bearing allowing any air in the system to collect in the line and be easily purged from the system.

On mine, the quick disconnect was attached to the slave with a standard flare fitting. The disconnect just threads off and you are left with a flared end that is realtively easy to connect by reflaring the Fiero slave line and using a coupler. I haven't a clue about the master side of the original a...

Here are a couple of pics.

This one uses a steel adapter:


This one uses a slightly thicker aluminum adapter:

Yes, for every inch of travel, the 3/4" wilwood displaces more fluid than a stock fiero clutch master.

I was going to take a pic of the wilwood master, but ran out of daylight. To install the wilwood requires a small adapter between the master and the front firewall. The fiero master has the mounting bolts at an angle while the wilwood is vertical. The adapter consists of 5 holes and cut/grind the ou...

Some getrags were available with the hydraulic TOB in 92-94. I have been running one of these transmissions in my 88 GT since June 2005. I am using a 3/4 wilwood slave and it is plenty big, so the stock fiero slave should work just fine. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s162/fieroguru/FWDTrannyHyd...
