Turbo 3400, F23 build, 1985 GT (Page 5/26) 1985 Fiero GT FEB 12, 03:21 AM quote Originally posted by ericjon262: you're working on alot of modifications to your car all at once already, from my experience, I would try to narrow your focus to the engine/transmission swap, then work on other things once the car runs and drives again, the snowball can very quickly derail your build and then you end up with a 10 year old build that's barely been driven (like mine). Good luck -Eric Yeah, that's for later spring/early summer, I've always worked best when I have clear paths planned out for basically everything, so yeah, I'm not getting wheels until it is a running, driving vehicle (and needs better tires), I just plan ahead so it doesn't take me time to decide when I do actually want them. 1985 Fiero GT FEB 21, 02:29 PM Well I finally got to the point where I could start the engine today, I had already been playing with the tune for the last few months out of the car, to get it as close as possible to useable before having to actually try and start the car, turns out that paid off, it started the first time I turned the key! pmbrunelle FEB 21, 11:50 PM I am curious to see your *.msq file. 1985 Fiero GT FEB 22, 06:31 AM quote Originally posted by pmbrunelle: I am curious to see your *.msq file. Don't know how to upload it here, I'll text it to you though once I get to work. 1985 Fiero GT FEB 22, 10:09 AM Oh and for now I'm using the 3400 VR crank sensor, directly wired to the megasquirt, the 3400 hall effect Cam position sensor, wired to the megasquirt on digital frequency in 2, and I'm using the original Fiero ICM to connect to the coil, with gm 7x settings in the megasquirt, which does not include the bypass signal, so under the on/off outputs, I have a spare spark out wire set to turn on when rpm is > 400 or something like that, just as the original ECM did. Turning the distributor will adjust the non bypassed (cranking) spark advance (running off the ICM), but not the megasquirt commanded spark advance. 1985 Fiero GT FEB 27, 09:03 PM More progress, I'm finishing the exhaust and the routing of the intake, seems like it will all work just fine. From the turbo to the water/air intercooler, it runs down between the transmission and the frame rail, then goes into the bottom of the Intercooler, from there it goes from the top to the throttle body. La fiera FEB 28, 09:03 PM Looking good! Keep pounding!!! pmbrunelle FEB 28, 09:10 PM When doing work like that, I prefer to put masking tape over the intake runner holes to prevent dropping anything into the engine.

Indeed, I will do that next time I do work on it
