Looks like a quality build but the addition of a boost controller and adding two additional injectors raises questions on the competance of the PCM programmer who set this engine up. With the right modifications to the fueling tables, turbo fueling can always be taken care of with six injectors or in the case of a V8 eight. . IMO the two extra injectors is the improper solution as they are not under full PCM control. Sorry if this sounds critical so just consider this comment my opinion.

Dennis:

Thank you so much for the complements and constructive criticism.

I am also sure that the fellow who built this assembly will appreciate your valuation of his competence.

What can I say, except that it works well as is. There is more than one way to skin a cat, you know.

One way, a good bench or dyno tune, by someone like Ryan at Sinister Performance to get the max out of it. He recommends using the 1227727 3.1L Turbo ECM and his programming. Ryan, could bring this setup to the degree of near perfection you suggest, assuming of course that it is not already near perfect.

Whomever buys this will certainly want to tinker with it and there are many possibilities, but the hard work, skilled assembly, and craftsmanship is done with many quality parts in place for a quick and successful swap/upgrade.

If anyone has other questions, I will be happy to answer them. This is a sale, not a build thread though.

Pick up the Sparco Extreme 12.5” Steering Wheel and Twist Machines Paddle Shifter that I also have for sale and you are all set.



Regards,

David

Folks:

Some one asked about the transmission final drive ratio. It is 3.73.

I posted the info on Ebay.

HI all

Do the paddles turn with the wheel, or are they column mounted?

------------------
Me, I sell engines, the cars are for free, I need something to crate the engines in....
Enzo Ferrari....

Today they are called garage's, yesterday, they were stable's! Eric Jacobsen....

They turn with the wheel.

Someone on Ebay asked about installing the assembly into a 1988 car.

Here is my reply:

From my perspective, West Coast Fiero would be your best bet, but others can modify an 88 cradle or your cradle. To purely modify an existing cradle and fit the engine transmission to it would be less than $750. This would not include powder coating and the like, nor would it include removing your engine and replacing the engine into your car. You would have to work this out directly with WCF, though. They can be reached at (661) 822-8111; ask for Chris West.

WCF can also, install this assembly into an 84 to 87 car pretty quickly as it currently sits at the buyers cost.

Regards,

David

As expected, bidding has not started yet, but there is a bunch of people watching the item with a huge number of viewers.

Bidding has started!

I wish you had said you would sell outside the auction. I was REALLY interested.

AusFiero and anyone else that was interested, the Ebay listing contained, "I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE LISTING IF THE ASSEMBLY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE OR IS SOLD THROUGH SOME OTHER NON EBAY METHOD"

I Think that was fair notice, but regret if it was not clear.

It was clear enough Dave. As I told you in private. My skim reading wasn't
