Its a neat swap, but I dont think I would have gotten rid of the 4.9 for that (unless it was on its last leg), Good luck finding a head if this one ever cracks! ------------------

The heads aren't that hard to come by. Component machine here in indy has like 15 of them sittin on the shelf and they let them go cheap. ------------------

Day I got the Air/fuel gauge hooked up and the firewall pass through switched over and snapped into place. I still don't have the speedometer working but that's for another day. I need to find schematics for it. My muffler came in today too so I'll get that installed later this week.
How about a picture?

That looks sweet.
I'll bet it sounds better than the 4.9 too..  Just something about a turbo spooling gets the blood pumping.

Nice work! I like the look of this engine in the Fiero, it just seems like one that could have come with the car stock. Pretty much the perfect combination of fuel economy and performance. I remember reading somewhere a while ago that there was a company that was installing these in Fieros back in the 80s. ------------------

Got the speedometer and the electronic fuel pressure gauges working today. I got the new high flow muffler installed last Thursday. The turbo spools faster and makes 2 more pounds of boost just after changing the muffler. I need to get some pipe for the intake and figure out what intercooler to get.

Was that even possible??  J/K... maybe.
Got a video of it running? I'd love to hear how it sounds with the new muffler.
