Real Fiero Tech

Whats up

Yep give it a few months and there will be an aftermarket controller that will eliminate the speed gov and prob raise the redline and all taht other stuff too. Just like when OBD2 first came out everyone was wondering how people were going to change things. Not long after that Hypertech and a few ot...

Great first post!!! Welcome aboard. :thumbleft:

Shaun! Wanna hog out some 3400 heads for me? ZOOM!

Sure. You know I have a set. One is already done. Been lazy with the other. Have 3400 itnakes too. NEW!

That's very hard on synchros and clutch (and rev-limiter too). I shift dam fast, but I still lift for the sake of transmission life. You are correct Will. But when I race I dont' care!!! I am a crazy MOFO!!! I think the stock fiero tranny can hold powershifts with the power I am putting down. I als...

you can run both. Many cars do it today as a matter of fact. THere is a reason why many cars use Maf today. Its more accurate in determining how much fuel should be added Map systems are good for boost. A lot of the supra guys ditch the Maf setup and run a Map setup. You want to set up your safc to ...

Yup.

That makes more then your Patty Duke and your mouth COMBINED!


your roof wing adds about 80 whp right?

I alwasy thought powershifting meant you dont' lift off the throttle when you shift? At least thats what I call it. I do that when I race. I dont' lift!!! I just bang gears. I drove a wrx last week and powershifted that thing a few times. It never dropped out of boost. Also what effects "spool&...

D1S used that because of fitment issues. I dotn' think its that bad of a design for the space constraints in a fiero. You also have to remember the Miller woods kit(d1S) kit came out backin 87. It wasnt' bad for its day. It can be improved upon. The only drawback right now is the excessivly small tu...

Thats a pretty interesting idea. I am sorry that I cant' help. I have an 88. How much backspacing do you plan on running? STock I want to say is 5.5 inches. I think you can get more without interference but I forget how much. Maybe an inch or so. I forget. I had the notes around here a long time ago...

THey were on the 60 degree board in the mall section. Some custom pistons someone had and was trying to sell. I thought about getting them, but I saw the CH and knew they wouldnt' work so I passed. yea they have a stock bore pretty much. This is such a ghetto idea. But maybe one could use oversized ...

yea its 2.147 or whatnot. Thats prob without the bearing in it. Its straight from the GM performance parts catalog So I guess I need a 2 inch bore with the bearings. large journal must be 2.1 and small must be 2.0. I see them for around $200+ on ebay. With that would require custom pistons, even mor...

I ended up garbage canning this stuff. Its really no use to anyone. Thanks for looking.

20 hp and only 247 cfm. Man, our engines suck. Its not even close to that I am sure.

hook me up donk next time you are home. thanks p diddy

meh the more research I do on this the less I want to do it. The cost doesn't really outweigh the benefits of it. quite a bit of machine work would need to be done on the rods to get them to work which just adds to the cost. Almost after everythign is said and done, it would almost cost as much as a...

so you would need a rod that is 6.079 inches long to have 0 deck height? Thats correct right? I am starting to consider this for my alum block build. 6 inch rods are cheap, already forged, and should hold up to high rpm better then the stock forged. I want to say I need a crank dia of 2.1247 as that...

remind me on fri and I will measure. I have it sitting here. I dont' feel like doing it now.

those these pistons prob wouldnt' even work then huh. It looks like in the pic that the CH is 1.242 http://www.v6z24.com/pictures/users/brad91z/pistons_box.jpg http://www.v6z24.com/pictures/users/brad91z/pistons_label.jpg Like these pistons would sit too deep in the block whereas the 3.1 pistons wou...
