Real Fiero Tech

What did you expect? A large showing of performance oriented individuals in attendance to wake snakes?? The Fiero crowd is on life support. Kind of hoping considering 30 plus people signed up for it. Asking on Facebook groups about the Dyno and people are getting pissed off for merely asking what h...

Some guy in Ontario FB group said the ls4 made 510. Someone else said it made 630 ish The silver V8 is a 383. It was Tina's old car. Had nitrous. Not sure if still does. I have actually been in contact with that owner because he messaged me out of the blue talking trash 2 days ago He refuses to tell...

So apparently an ls4 turbo from pickardt performance dynod only 510 at the wheels

Oooooof

It's within 2%. It's gonna be overbalanced by 1.6%. It's t cjnically a drop in setup. To rev over 7k I'd recommend a balance but to 6k it' should be good.

Post up the results if you know what car made what.

Will we see anything anywhere on this?

To work this out, you need to weigh the big end of the connecting rod separately from the small end. I edited the original post to include big end weight. It appears the Pauter rod is lighter on the big end too. By about 7 grams So the big end is lighter than stock but overall heavier. But the pist...

I went to the Ford museum as a kid. I found it boring. But I was a kid so....

After procrastinating for 2 months I finally got it back in.

Yea I got the big end weight of the Pauter which they provided but no way to measure myself the stocker.

I'll have to take it in.

Seeing as the lz4 pistons are the same as the 9, the same goes obviously. I didn't weigh an lz4 rod yet Lz9 rod 630g Big end. 471g Lz9 piston with rings and pin 592g Lz9 pin 149 grams Lz9 piston with rings 444g Reciprocating weight = 751g Pauter rods 655g Big end 464g JE piston with rings and pin 53...

I used the je 321238 overbore pistons on my first build. Block did not need to be decked. But the pistons sat .006 in the hole instead of proud by .004. either due to the crank slightly short of the 3.31 stroke, the deckheight more than 8.818 by a smidge, or a combo of the two. It didn't matter to m...

Drop in replacement forged Pistons stock bore. JE 321237. Has a 19cc dish. Compression ratio comes out to 11.1:1. I believe JE says they weigh 421 grams. Not sure what stock is. .007 overbore is JE 321238 with a 21cc dish. CR is about the same. $750 at summit with about a 4 week lead time. These pis...

Bingo.

It's a fiero. Live with it or buy a kia

Reis engines don't last long enough to need dry sumps either.

Fieros aren't going around corners at sustained 1g Will. This discussion is a total waste of time when it comes to fiero owners and how you drive these 80s shit boxes.

Dry sumps aren't necessary in our applications. But you goofballs build it and install it. It's your time and money.

Nah. It's ready to go in, just haven't done it yet.
