Real Fiero Tech

And so the story goes: A group of collective gear heads were interested in building a competitive chump car. Half the team has been and is previously racing in a prepped e30. The car isn't terrible, but its been unreliable, doesnt make the expected power and the owner just doesn't have all his prior...

Here a some new books that Ive bought and read or started. Ive also been in school for my M.E. degree for 3.5 more years, Therefor my understanding of systems is vastly better than before. Ive been noticing much more discrepancies in tech books now. The Racing and High-Performance Tire by Paul Haney...

Is that LilDevils on Old Europe?

Yea just the flange the one I got is too small. When is a good time to call? I have a caliper and protractor if you need me to measure anything.

Auto Zone sells these new for 30. Search for part number 815611

You dont have one of these lying around by chance?

I'm an asshole, sorry to reply so late, completely forgot. I did talk to the guy, his name is Joe Donovan BTW. He said if the baseline tune is already drivable and pretty close, he can get it done for under 150. If I can recall correctly its 100 for dynometer use plus 50 and hour, they have get it r...

Dude, I keep forgetting that shit. So what kind of a deal can he get me? 8) I wouldn't mind going with him because he is so familar with Haltechs. The guy that would be doing the tuning from King would be able to figure it out with no problems but there is always that learning curve. I have Drill t...

If your interested, My squad leader in the Army is the dyno tuner at CS Motorsports in Lannon, He's told me that he is intimately familiar with Haltech tuning. The shop specializes in and sponsors road race Porsches and German cars.

Easiest thing to do is call first.

Take it with you to the hardware store...

Build yourself some 24-26" headers to compliment that intake, and you should see the same resonance gains on the exhaust side.

How low are you willing to part with those 97 heads?

Zac88GT ran phantom grip, and it caused severe wear on the differential parts. The phantom grip design is functionally identical to the EP and others I believe.

I feel you, I'm jobless right now as well, so Im just waiting until I can get some extra Army Reserves duty in and build up some funds to finish the car.

I've been on here for a while, just sort of lost my password for a loooong time.
Anyways back on topic. How is the tuning coming?

The area around the shifter cables on the 4 speed is just two crowded with the 96+ intake, I have a new location mocked up for the shift cable, I just need to weld it in place. The select cable is OK where it sits.

Well based on a VE 110% at 6000rpms, with 5 psi of boost, and a duty cycle of 65%, 13.5 AFR, your BSFC is .437 at 310hp, that is 45lb/hr at each cylinder. this is from an excel file I made. I cant be sure of it's accuracy. And this weekend I placed the engine in the car. And today I got it running, ...

Its, a 4 speed, the stock crossover wouldnt clear the shift cables. I built it to clear the slave, it does, just barely, I will wrap both. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b361/FieroWannaBe/DOHC_swap/th_02-05-09_1201.jpg The welds are like boogers :bad: , but I'm poor ad cant afford good welds or a...

Good news Jeff, Now I feel less than slightly retarded. But Im still to dumb to be finished.
