Thanks, everything was very well packed and great to deal with. I'm going overkill with it, just ordered 4340 rods, ATI damper. Lots to go.

I'm never happy with any less than 12,000 horsepower.




Glad you're happy. I still would love those heads!

I did finish the car. It was amazing. But it was too much. It broke more often than not. There is such thing as too much power. I know, I am stunned I said it too. I sold the turbo kit and used the money to purchase the s3. Once this car is up, running and sold, I am going to build a LS swapped FD. Been wanting to do that for 10 years. Seems I like the build far more than anything.




Interesting. This is something many here do not understand. You do not need mega power to have a very fun to drive reliable Fiero street car. My opinion is that without traction control anything above 350lbs torque at the wheels it start to be more about controlling the wheel spin than having fun driving fast.

Its true. I spent more time on the 400whp tune than the 460whp tune. All it wanted to do was blow the tires off. No fun.

I need to come up with a better way to mount thee ecu. Suggestions? Its in the stock location but just kinda there. The center console gives it a compression fit.

Car goes to the exhaust shop to get the manifolds tied into the 3" borla exhaust as well as a 4" intake (aluminum) and a few other little bits. Be driving in a few days!

Man it's been awhile since I posted in this thread. Sad to hear you are moving on but I understand you do what makes you happy. What diameter is that tube and do you have any pics of the exhaust manifolds? I have been doing a lot of Fabrication and Tig welding work on stainless and aluminum here lately and I enjoy seeing others manifolds. Car is looking good man. Good luck with it.

The manifolds are ZZP units. Other than that, the "downpipe" is 3" mandrel bent stainless.

Car is done, just gott dropped off at my house. I just have to hook up the WBO2 and start datalogging the tune.

Running and driving. DH and I are working on the tune and I may have slightly cooked my f23 swap shift cable. So I have to contact california push/pull to source a replacement. It shifts, its just very notchy. The cable is a bit melted. Oops.

Cool! I'm sure it's pretty quick.
