Bill, I'm surprised to hear that #3 runner was actually the problem one. Are we on the same page here with the numbering?

Hi Patrick; that's where I went wrong as well. #6 cylinder is there But that runner actually crosses over to #3 through the middle and lower manifold sections.

Ah, I understand now. Yes, it's easy to forget that the numbering of the cylinders doesn't actually match the layout of the upper intake (and the runners that feed them).
So correct me if I'm wrong, but it would appear then that you took some of the sharpness out of the turn in this runner's pathway?

Yes I radiused it back about 1 1/4" and raised the roof a 1/2" to match the inlet pipe and also raised the "Fiero" section 1/2"

Hi Da;
I haven't really talked about it yet as everytime I mentioned it someone would have something negative to say about DBW. But yes I am running an Emtron ecu and Bosch components. I don't want to change the subject matter of this thread so if you want to talk about it more probably we should go to general Fiero chat

Hmmmmmn, I wonder if this would fly under the radar in the California smog visual inspection. They see sooooooo few Fieros these days.

Notorio; I think if a person spent a little more time than I did nobody would notice and if your car would pass the smog test before I don't think anything would change with this mod. It's just making more air available. I'm going to post a few more pictures as I'm removing the air intake muffler in the wheelwell and modifying my air cleaner housing to remove another restriction and still have it look stock.
