Real tech discussion on design, fabrication, testing, development of custom or adapted parts for Pontiac Fieros. Not questions about the power a CAI will give.

Well, since I made myself a new TV cable and got the shift kit installed, I decided to do a little more testing tonight and actually ventured outside of the neighborhood. I'm sure my neighbors thank me HA!
I was able to confirm that my TCC lockup circuit is wired properly, although I need to get the engagement dialed in a little better. Now that I know this, I can tie up the rest of my wiring, mount the magnadoodle properly, and put the console back together
I ran into a couple more 20yr old car issues though:
First is that my distributor O-ring decided to start leaking on me. Hopefully its easier to get than a TV cable
Second is that this thing is fucking scary at highway speeds. Upon further inspection, I'm needing some front wheel bearings....BAD
I'm getting called out of town again, but hopefully I can get these knocked out over the weekend
For the reference, it's the same O-ring that the small block Chevy used, I just got one for that. Auto Parts stores are good at charging $20 for it if it's for a V6, and 50 cents if it's for a SBC.

You're already megasquirted so wiring shouldn't be hard. Do a 3400, 3100 would be the same work for less power, unless you wanted the powerband slightly higher for your turbo but its not like even the L44 is a high rpm screamer. You may have to fab a front mount and come up with a dog bone bracket, but maybe some of that stuff can transfer from the L44.
A non-VVT 3500 has the same basic complexity of install as a 3100 or 3400. I don't recall if the non-VVT 3500's used throttle by wire or cable throttles, but I think that would be the only thing that would be different. The throttle by wire engines can be converted to cable throttle easily enough.
You *might* try ed morad, at the risk of getting overcharged, but he will have a complete motor he knows the story on and the harness. However you will never talk to him, a guy named Eric will help you.
