Tech Articles
I'd like to expand this site to include some tech content.
I'm thinking that maybe members that are experts on certain areas of fiero-related topics could write some articles. You would post them here first and have them reviewed by the community and then later published at realfierotech.com/tech/
I think illustrated articles are more valuable then ones without pictures.
I can give out email addresses or custom titles to people that write articles.

I think custom titles would be cool, like find a way to let people know who is the expert on which motors, and on anything really. Like have a tag for Cryzone that reads, "Expert on every motor possible in a Fiero, and still not be happy."
But really, like 3.4 DOHC below my name, N* below punisher and will, Boat Anchor beneath Shaun's, etc.
And with this, you can click the motor, and it will direct you to their tech write ups maybe? I dunno, just an idea.
I cannot write an article on the 3.4 swap yet, but I'd be willing to write a detailed writeup on the 3.4 DOHC in general, like horsepower, options, EVERY difference over the years, models found in, etc.
I think it would really expand this site as a technical resource.

88GT 3.4 DOHC Turbo

I agree like, wow, 764%. I think all those would be amazing helps, to me especially as I plan on doing a lot of this stuff and have never done it before on a Fiero(Dropping the cradle, restoring suspension, and the swap).eHoward wrote:Articles that I think would be useful:
How to drop the cradle from start to finish with pictures
Adding power the stock engine with dyno runs of different mods
Restoring the suspension with pictures of installation of new bushings
Organized detailed writeups on any of the engine swaps
I think a section on the 3.4 DOHC swap would just have to say http://www.dohcfiero.com, as that site has it completely covered. But I havn't found a website like that for any of the other swaps.
Oh, for the 3.4 OHV swap, just say "Drill a hole or two, it isn't hard, despite what 75% of those dumbfucks think."
i can help witht he picw of the poly bushing install with grease fittings - i think i may even have a short video somwhere of drilling out the rubber -eHoward wrote:Articles that I think would be useful:

That would be a good idea. There are alot of people on this forum that know what they are talking about. And yes the 3.4 pr swap could be put into the same category as engine removal and installation.
I wish I had something to offer, but I am useless as shit. I am building an intake right now, if it works I will put it on here, if it doesn't I will save your time and my pride by leaving it alone.
Take it easy

I agree, I really like reading on how people see past what everyone says about the ol Duke, and they build it. It is really interesting, especially the guys putting 4 valve heads on them, and turboes!Oversteer wrote:The SD4 stuff is awesome, I would love to read it. I bought a Pontiac Performance Catalogue with all the SD4 stuff in it. Very interesting.
Oversteer, intake as in like a cold air intake or a new intake manifold. An intake manifold build is surely worth porting, I know I like reading them!

I'm happy with the N*, but probibly won't be happy with the stock output :thumbleft:Aaron wrote: Like have a tag for Cryzone that reads, "Expert on every motor possible in a Fiero, and still not be happy."
I like this idea. The next time I do something technical on my car I will take a ton of pics and post a how-to. I'm going to need another car... Most of my car is fairly modified. My next big upgrade will be 11.25 or 12" brakes.

I've got a couple of things I thought about documenting here.
1) 88 cradle into an 85 GT. I've got all the parts now. I picked up an 88 coupe cradle this summer and I just received the coil overs/adapters and sway bar setup from Held Motorsports the last tuesday.
2) 4 speed muncie rebuild. I own the Kent-Moore 'shim selector' tool for determining the shim thickness under the bearing races. I'm waiting on all my bearings to arrive. I was hoping to document a changeover to a 3.32 into a v6 case but I can't find a donor 3.32. Dammit. That, and I might not have the case bead blasted so it won't be as pretty as it could be. I can't find a muncie rebuild documented anywhere else on the internet...
3) ZZ4 swap. This might be beat to death. It will be on an 88 to 85 cradle swap though. I've got all the parts except for a remote waterpump, starter, rear brakes and misc plumbing parts in house now. When I get solid mounts welded up I'll be ready to do this thing.
I've got Fiero shit all over my house right now; I've GOT to start putting this car back together.

Re: Tech Articles
Never want to play with those needle bearings again lol. Was an interesting project though.
Hard to believe that was 7 years ago.
