Real Fiero Tech

SOLD!

Thanks for the use of the classifieds.

Can lock this thread now if you like.

Time to sell it off, I realize this is out of a FWD Jbody, But someone might be interested here on the board as I know some do use the FWD trans'. Here is what you get: 1992 Sunbird GT 5spd Transmission, Rebuilt, Has the 3.94:1 GTZ final drive gear swapped in, GTZ Close Ratio 4th gear at 1.03:1 (sto...

Oh you lucky fucking bastard.. And here you get jelous at me having too many toys.. HA! who's the bastard who has a alum block and ITB manifold!

Very nice toy. Hmmm. Wonder what it would be like with my 3500 block/2.8L crank engine setup.

How much would one of those rare-as intakes go for?

Going from a Jbody guys standpoint the Getrag is the stronger of the two, However Range of transmission ratio's out there to build yourself a good ratio trans goes to the Isuzu, Isuzu Gear Ratios: 2.4 1st 3.73 2nd 2.18 3rd 1.33 40/30 4th 0.92 35/39 5th 0.74 FDR 3.94 2.2 1st 3.91 2nd 2.18 3rd 1.45 42...

Yup, 2001 5spd Getrag guts sitting on the holding fixture.

The only problem with the shift fork fab stuff is you'll have to have them make something on the end or bush the transmission as it has no bushings for the forks. they use plastic slider ends on each side of the shift fork. Its fucking retarded. They have each fork with the plastic sliders moulded o...

Different bore, Cast Hyperutectics. I don't need forged. Just staying NA. Its from a completely different application.

What exactly did you do here? Got pics?? I don't have any pics of it. I guess I should take some sometime. Basically took the stock HG and had a metal shop lazer cut the same template as the HG on 3 pieces of 1/3 inch thick steel plate. (due to they couldn't cut one big Inch thick plate they said) ...

So why don't we see lots of bent forks in the Getrag used in the Fiero - different model, or hamfisted drivers? Our getrag the old HM282 (If I'm reading what your refering to right) Is a completely different Getrag transmision. Your right we don't see alot of bent forks ever. They're pretty stout. ...

I have felt and driven a 5spd V6 car that reved to 8000 rpm. I have personally felt what it felt like to try and shift the bitch even at 7300 rpm from 1st to 2nd gear. You could not shift that thing quick at all. Every time you had to slowly shift it. This is of course Curtis Walkers turbo z24. I've...

I'm in the process of building up a 300+ HP Turbo ecotec for a customer right now. Eagle Rods, Wiseco Pistons. I custom made a torque plate for it and had it torque plate bored/honed due to its an alum block and will need to have it done. ARP head studs, Fully ported and polished head by myself and ...

Hey sorry guys that I've not been on here to for these things. I got looking into the costs and then I had issues with the transmission going out on one of my talon's. argh.. Just been fucking buisy and then went to mexico for a wedding. Not to mention I started looking in depth what I'm going to be...

Give me a day, Just gotta check on a few things first if thats ok. How is payment going to work here? Paypal? Money Order? Credit Card? I'd prefer if I can paypal it. I've got $ sitting in there from a few things I've sold. What aboot shipping? Are they being sent to one of you guys first then they'...

You can. Its just a matter of bearing tang match up. And narrowing the bearing of course. Email from him this morning said "649-651grams each" Well we dont have a 4th person so it looks like 200 a set and shipping and we all get 2 extra rods. Will, I need your addy for the shipping quote....

I would think that the bearings can be narrowed as well as the rods... unless the rods get narrowed so much that one side of the tang notch gets cut off... The relationship between the notch locations of where the notch is on a 60v6 bearing. And where the notch is on a set of SBC's. Different locat...

Why not turbocharge the pushrod ?

I've got one up on ya right now. stock 3.7 inch bore block and a 2.8L crank.

Someday I'll get back to mod'ing the sunbird and actually get it back on the road..... someday...

I can't wait as the 10 is supposed to have the changes nessicary to pass crash test laws here in canada.. Fuck I'd have a evo8 right now If it were not for that issue.

I really like the fact that the new 10 is coming out with an Alum block 4g63 2.0L style engine!! (I also own 2 DSM's)

Yeah, figure might as well help a guy out, I see 5.7's on there all the time. I'm not sure how much machine work would cost. I'm in canadialand where prices are quite a bit different I'm sure. Don't forget the Bearing tang notch needs to be recut when narrowing the rods too. We have a great machine ...

Thanks Shaun.

Is this how the 3.1's pick up crank signal? No as stated thats the 24X crank trigger. It is used in conjunction with the Camshaft Possition sensor for SFI opperation. The gen3's (3x00's) still use the same 7X reluctor on the crank and the same CKP sensor at the back of the block for ignition/crank ...
