Ecotec le5 Turbo 2.4 Build (Page 17/28) jediperk FEB 10, 04:03 AM I thought you would really like it. You need that engine block heater Dobey posted about. Canada. Brrrr. So, now that you have driven it do you still think you need to go after 500 HP or is where it's at sufficient? 4thfiero FEB 10, 11:00 AM DEF not....the power she has is good enough...i actually almost considered de-tuning it to 200 whp not 310, lol...she's such a beast! I have an oil pan heater, had her plugged in last night all night. Started just fine like a new car, but it stalls immediately if u dont hold the gas gently for 30 seconds to let her warm up. then she will hold idle on her own. And she warm starts like a brand new car. So the tune needs to be changed. akademikjeanius FEB 10, 12:38 PM quote Originally posted by 4thfiero: GOT HER BACK!!!!!!! ....Terrifying....just terrifying....she's such a beast! I can't believe it....shop did an awesome job.. I will post some pics and vids tomorrow I think, im unable too today. Car still needs to be cold start tuned (anyone have advise on that whe its -30 and not plugged in for hours?) She starts np even not plugged in at -23, but needs your foot on the gas for about a min before she's warmed up enough to idle herself. (Is there like a...."if ECU temp is X then idle at 2k....then at a certain temp idle at 1.5...then just idle as per normal?" setting in HP tuners?) My mechanic couldnt get it tuned bcc the AFR gauge displays on the magden computer which takes 30 seconds to boot, by then the readings arnt fresh and he cant tune properly. But he said he ordered another O2 and gauge just to temp install and he will try to fix it that way... but once she's warm it revs smooth, and goes...holy... South-bend stage 3 clutch is nice, i dont have to push hard with my left foot or anything, clutch catches high and is grabby...i wish it was a tiny bit less grabby. But i guess ill get used to it. Also i need to change the muffler...she roars like a beast lol...it is my daily driver, so ill get a quieter muffler, (any recommendations?) Other than that? Shoot...cars insane...probably twice a fast as my stock 94 supra tt. just scary, i will probably drive her at 30% 90% of the time lol... *drops single tear of joy* 4thfiero FEB 10, 02:49 PM So what does everyone wants pics of??? Im not sure what to do haha. 4thfiero FEB 10, 02:54 PM (Also does anyone have that discontinued weatherstrip and clips???) i need one! Ad is up in the mall but nothing yet wftb FEB 10, 09:49 PM quote Originally posted by 4thfiero: So what does everyone wants pics of??? Im not sure what to do haha. The engine of course ! Car looks great .Cant help with cold starting , never gets below -20 around here , I don't even try to drive my Fiero in the winter , too much snow and slush around here . 4thfiero FEB 11, 02:45 AM Okay, its snowing like crazy tonight, im hoping it stops tomorrow....if so ill shoot some pics of the engine bay. Also...driving home from work, raced and utterly destroyed this nice audi TT, the look on the guys face was awesome, and i probably used like 40% of what she has, im telling u guys....she's a terrifying beast!!!!!

Your shop didn't mess with the stock cold start tables, did they? 4thfiero FEB 12, 05:06 PM Im sure they did a little. The stock cold start tables arnt doing the trick. 4thfiero FEB 12, 05:09 PM Pic of the inside of my car idling with the new gauge cluster....Oil pressure, Volts, AFR, Engine coolant temp and MBar (boost) are the gauges currently being displayed, if i click on any of those gauges i have a list of others i can choose from....
