New engine swap, 4.9 V8 to a 2.0 4 cylinder (Page 11/34) tjthorson JUN 24, 03:48 PM quote Originally posted by FieroMaster88: Did a little troubleshooting on my temperature gauge today. It is well into the red before the fan was kicking on. I was not too worried about it because the engine did not seem that warm. Today I let the car idle until the fan kicked on then checked the temperature reading with a second gauge. It read 190 degrees coolant temperature. The gauge in the car was pegged in the red. I guess I need to find a new gauge. Good job on the Brazilian engine in a Fiero. I had an 87 Funbird with the turbo 2.0. Not bad little motors - just like to eat head gaskets and warp heads about every 40K miles.... That stupid bolta through the carrier and through the head sandwiching, combined with the TTY bolts (dont ever reuse them!, unless you went ARP) Watch the boost, keep it from detonating, and have fun. Oh - wondering what happens when you dont do that??? I see you transplanted the tach/boost gauge - I always did like the Funbird dash.... Nice touch! FieroMaster88 JUN 24, 05:05 PM I'm working on an intercooler setup right now. I have a wide band o2 and plan on getting some tuning done after I'm finished with the intercooler to avoid a major failure. It is a fun swap that's for sure. FieroMaster88 JUN 28, 12:26 PM Another slow afternoon at work. I think I'll work on the intercooler setup some more. DucRyder JUN 28, 04:11 PM Off topic, but I want to get my fiero up on a lift like the one you have pictured fieromaster88. Can you show / tell me where you place the feet before you lift? (I don't want to crush the cooling tubes or floor pan) FieroMaster88 JUN 28, 08:10 PM Got the charge pipes all installed. Next will be installing everything on the wet side.

I'll try to get a picture next time I have the car in the air. BV MotorSports JUN 28, 11:17 PM Nice!!!! You going to have the tune checked and adjusted to take advantage of the new tubby and lower charge temps? FieroMaster88 JUN 29, 08:41 AM quote Originally posted by BV MotorSports: Nice!!!! You going to have the tune checked and adjusted to take advantage of the new tubby and lower charge temps? That's the plan. I hope to see an increase in fuel mileage too. FieroMaster88 JUL 02, 09:41 PM I installed a charge pipe coupler to replace one that was split. I'll be driving it again tomorrow. I should have time next week to finish the intercooler install. I have to get the radiator and pump mounted, run the water hoses then wire up the pump and fan. It's been too damn hot at work to even care. 100+ degrees in the shop is getting a little old.
