Real Fiero Tech

“Upstairs.” The ceiling is about 8’ in the middle.

The stapler hasn’t been the same since the fall…

No rush. I’ve been too overwhelmed by work and garage stuff to even think about it.

I was looking at these:

That racetronix setup is pretty slick if it directly replaces the GM piece.

Looks pretty good.

Does anything noticeably weird happen at speed?

Maybe a feature request for Dynamic EFI? Not being able to control a 4L80E seems pretty limiting for a system designed to install into hot rods. That being said, if you invert one shift solenoid signal, then the solenoid tables are the same. The 4L80E has a PWM converter clutch solenoid, or somethi...

Nice! That’s much easier for sure.

what do you think of the new GDO? I've been eyeing up that style, I like the idea of maximizing the available room, especially because I don't have high ceilings in the garage. Seems to work ok. I don’t have the internet whatnot set up yet, but it opens and shuts an 18x8 without issue. Has an elect...

So what if it gets dark early?




And some fancy to clear up overhead space.

Slap the dragy on the defrost vent and see what it do!

In my experience painting in this humidity I haven't collected that much water in my separator. I like the idea but I wonder if it might be overkill for your plasma. If you decide you gotta have it I'll be paying attention to what you do. I know the manual for the plasma cutter specifies a -40f dew...

I checked my logs. I did a 1.8 second pull in 4th gear. I started at 3200 rpm and shutdown at 4500 rpm. Boost maxed at 22.5 lbs. Iat started at 69 degrees F. Rose to 76 degrees but that temp was well after i let off. Took about 36 seconds after rising to 76F to come back to 71 degrees Iat.. Tall or...

shop looks fantastic, a little small, but still fantastic! 24x36 would have been ideal, but I’m trying to keep a little bit of yard for peace in the house Ehhh... single pitch roof with a deck on top would have smoothed that right over... That type of layout did come up during early discussion. Pai...

I'm getting that with mine mounted up front.

What’s rise during and recovery after a pull like?

Lotsa chips, but it'll be good practice. Depending on what it is, I like the aesthetic of leaving tool marks on stuff I make for myself; i.e. "I didn't just buy this shit."

What are your IAT readings in relation to ambient temp when just cruising around?

In the spirit of positivity; great job! Thanks! I look forward to hearing about your results. It'll be a little while until I can get it installed. Going to try and trench for utilities this week. So now you can hook up with both tires and blow your intermediate band on a WOT 1-2 upshift? :grin: So...

So far, so good.

I tracked down a set of mold & die springs...

The sintered pieces go between the case and the side gears. Then I got one of these spring inserts. They’re going for around $20-$30 on ebay and claim to be intended for honda/bmw/whatever. 8CEC15FC-6C8A-465B-8DE0-B3BFEE55FFDD.jpeg My Benchmaster claims they fit Fiero/TH125c: B002E49A-31B7-4B6E-B200...

I needed to get away from the garage build and clear my head a bit.

First step is making a chuck bushing to clamp thin parts:

Then I got some sintered iron/bronze and made a couple pieces:

My condolences for your friend…


I assume you’re tuning this beast somehow? If so, it shouldn’t really matter which regulator you go with. The referenced one might be a little easier?
