Awesome I'm barely getting ready to start my quad 4 swap. Biggest pain for me is the wireline harness. How did you adapt the v6 slave? Was it with the adapter from Rodney dickman? Also does the trans bolt up to the stock locations?

Awesome build! I had a 1990 Beretta GTZ with a swapped-in Achieva SCX Quad 4. Man I miss that car! 180KMH in 3rd gear, no problem. All it had was a hollowed out cat, and a JET performance chip. I never had a stitch of trouble with this car. My mechanic buddy told me to never bring it to his shop! I guess he seen too many bad head gaskets. Keep up the good work and lets see more Quad 4 builds people.

Sardonyx, any chance you have more photos of the engine sitting on the cradle. Specifically, I'm looking for how high the engine and trans sit off the cradle, and where the axles are located fore and aft. I'm in the process of fabricating mounts for my engine and trans. I think I have the location set, with the trans about a 1/4" above the cradle rail and the harmonic balancer about 1" above.
Congratulations on the swap and thanks again for posting all the photos and tips.

Great Build! My job sometimes takes me to Reno. I would greatly anticipate a time where I can visit and see your build  Oh, I speak for all Fiero owners and ask if you can make us all happy by showing us a video? We want to hear it running.
Cordially,
kevin[This message has been edited by kevin (edited 01-09-2014).]

Q1. How did you turn the IDI cover around? Mine has metal flanges for the ignition parts to bolt to.
Q2. Any other updates?

He covered that on page 4. The photos and explanation are about halfway down the page.

Here is a quick note on the Quads.
If you have one bad fuel injector it will take out both injectors on the same circut. IE the two center ones or the two outside ones.
I have more updates to come, just no time to post them now.
Just figured this is a BIG FYI.

I know I NEED video, but video doesn't give you the feeling of the 7400 rev limit.
but some kind of update,...
I drive this everyday, still loud, but fun to drive.
It has more power band than most cars have RPM.
I did add solid mounts as the stock rubber are just crap, (I don't care about the virbration, I'm not a whiny b@#$%) I even added 'bass shakers' for more.
I never question "if I have the power the pass this fool, or make a lane change in front of this other fool without getting hit"
I knew the duke didn't so I wouldn't even try.
And I have never once wished I did a different engine instead of the Quad. (I do have my GT though)
I still get suprised on the cars it beats, just funny.
I need new struts before I can take it to the track, I lauched once hard and got wheel hop, so need new struts, and I don't launch because of it. (wheel hop = trans killer)
If I can get around to a good vid I will post one up, or if I find more pics I'll post them too.
