The guy that builds them is very helpful and stands behind his product. I have reviewed and been part of most of the posts on Old Europe in reference to this intake. If you want an 200hp NA 3.4 than this is about your only production option. You could build an intake to reach those numbers, but this...

Indeed Indeed. Good luck with the project. E85 can be made from home, I guess its the gasoline version of biodiesel. The emmisions are extremely low, the only problem is, it will dissolve any oily residue in your gas tank, heads, and so on. It may run rough for awhile until is cleans itself out. We ...

When I was in school I worked with a group from the University of Waterloo that coverted a Silverado to run on E85. Chevy systems have apparently been E85 compatible for the past 4 years or so. On the Silverado, they experience less fuel economy and power, but much lower emissions. In bulk the Ethan...

Shit, I thought I was the only one hahahahaha. The leg room is great, head room is at its max for me, but thats why the sunroof comes out boys. I'm also a heavy build, but this car is excellent for room. Changing fuses and heater cores sucks wang, but oh well thats just the way it goes.

Hey Donk, do you get the "How do you fit in that car" statement alot?? I am 6'5" and everyone seems to get a kick out of the fact that I own and drive a Fiero. Thats why I love this damn car, big man in a little car. Your Indy looks nice, as do the rest of the cars here. Aaron, thats ...

Now those were some nice Luminas. Could those pull better than your Fiero Aaron? I don't know if anyone agreed to no posting of Vans, you just stated thats the way it was. The Lumina Van with its plastic plannels belongs on here more than your Z34 does anyways. Fuck the wedge, fuck the grocery getter

I assume you are joking about the CAI?

I don't have an exact number but I am sure my car could do the quarter mi...

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...

Actually oversteer was refering to the 3.4 pushrod becasue the 3.4 dohc can and has been built to 200 hp. correct me if im wrong on this oversteer. I believe the point he was making was that the 3.4 is easier to swap and lighter.[/quote] Yes I was refering to the Pushrod 3.4 not the 3400 or the TDC....

200 hp and 240 ft lb torque

Not a bad engine on its own. Just bigger and harder to swap than 3.4. If someone could build that 3.4 to 200 hp at the flywheel on an EFI system, then I think it would be a better swap then the 3.8. But the 3.8 will get better fuel economy.

Lovely Cold Air Intakes, hardly any power gain and a whole lot of noise.

Ricer mods rock. I got the same problem with my car, soon to be fixed though.

Sorry man, but if you wanted a riced up Civic you should have bought one. I think the car looks cheap, add ons on every corner. Useless vents and induction scoops in places they shouldn't be. The car does look better with the spoiler, but you can sugar coat shit all day and it will still be shit. Th...

Well, I have been following this thread for awhile, and its not that I was mad that you made the mistake of over torquing the heads but rather that the engine that your are working on is rather rare and should be handled with the greatest of care. It would be the same if someone decided to drop a Ca...

The Intake we are building is like the West Coast Fiero's polished one in your pics. I guess I could get the design drawings and put them in here.
