Real Fiero Tech

How soon were you looking to sell this setup?

So i will need two engine hoist or can i just rest the cradle on something? I thought i had to support the engine with the hoist...

Any advice on how in the world i can lift the frame of my car high enough to slide the engine from underneath it? I obviously don't have access to a lift. What methods have some of you used? Thanks guys.

Man this sounds wild but any tips on getting the bolt off that keeps the junction box on? I've tried a 6.5mm to big, 6mm to small. 3/16 to small... Needle nose pliers wont budge it... What is it with this thing?

Okay, for anyone that follows threads on here. I picked up a 93 Lumina Z34 and im swapping the motor into my fiero. I listed my 2.8 on craigslist because i had no luck here and was offered ANOTHER complete car 93 lumina z34 with 88,759 miles. The body needs minor work and it needs an ignition instal...

Anyone know of any good do it yourself engine removal sites online. Im ready to start pulling my 2.8...

Thats horrible lol!

OKay im willing to trade my motor for a big cheese burger and bacon and cheddar potato wedges from Jack in the Box. :downtown:

Cool, scared me for a minute there. But yes im capable of doing the swap. Between my knowledge, friends help, the forum, and the walk throughs on the net im good.

Im doing a swap from a z34. What parts are you reffering to?

man i got fed up of trying to see the mark i made with the damn bolt in my view so i buckled and had the guy down the block do it at triangle auto.

Hey guys and gals. After replacing the pick up coil, distributor cap and rotor, intake manifold gaskets, spark plugs and wires, and replacing the old throttle body with a shiny new one :thumbleft: then paying the shop 40 bucks to get the timing done on my 2.8l, guess what? Its about that time to put...

Haha i folded and my buddy and i towed it 3 miles down the road to the shop and i had them do my timing haha. But hey i think i've done mighty damn well up to this point with the help of chilton and rff!!!

Anyone know if i can use the z34 brake calipers and rotors on my 86gt? :blah5:

Humm... When im trying to get the timing correct its hard for me to spot the chalk marks i've made due to a bolt RIGHT IN MY WAY! :mumum: Is there a method that has been effective for any of you that i may want to try?

Alright so got the intake side of the egr blocked off using the soda can method, buddy of mine mad a block off plate for the exhaust side(removed the egr valve), followed the line and capped that off, replaced the intake manifold gaskets, started up the engine and it still leaked. I would plug the w...

I wanna eliminate the cause of the smell not cover it up. This car is going to be mine for quite some time. I want it to be done right the first time.

What does it smell like? Decaying corpses? Can you borrow a machine that generates ozone? You'll find a lot of the electrostatic air cleaners are massive ozone producers. Just stick that in there for a couple days..... Fortunately no it doesnt smell that bad haha. Just smells old i guess. Its hard ...

So before i put my new interior in... I have it stripped down to metal right now. How can i get that old car smell out? Tried bleach, and air freshner, and airing it out. Still not satisfied with the results... :puke:

did you check fuel pressure? you could be really lean. How do i check the fuel pressure? I am betting you have a bad vacuum line or you didnt' reinstall something correctly. The car should stall when you cover the iac hole in the tb. so air is getting in somewhere. Did you use new gaskets? Spray so...

Aww man! So i removed the plennum, installed a block off plate, removed the egr valve (exhaust block off plate being installed tomorrow), followed all vacuum lines that i can think of and capped off the necessary lines, re assembled the motor and started it up again. Now when i plug the whole in my ...
