Quad 4 Installation manual - PDF available (Page 1/4)
Raydar JUN 29, 06:03 PM
They say "better late than never"... Right?

I finally got hold of a scanner, and scanned the IRM Quad 4 Installation manual that I've had, forever. All 46 pages.
It's on a 16 MB PDF file (or a DOCX file, if you would prefer.)

Edit - It only addresses 87 and 88, but I'm guessing that won't be a show stopper.

Does anyone have a website where they could host this? Since it's a rather large file, I really don't want to mail it to a bunch of individuals.
I'm waiting for it to be posted on the GA Fieros website, but I figure I'll offer it to anyone else who can host it, as well. (Since IRM is out of business, I'm guessing that this is now "public domain".)

Maybe ask omninate to host it on the revived fieroaddiction page?

Edited - I have removed the link. Apparently the popularity of the PDF has caused our server to eat its tail.
Sorry about that. Still looking for someone who can host it.

Fantastic!!!!! I just may change my mind about putting that Ecotech in the convertible. I wonder how hard it would be to change a few things around for an 84.......

Thanks Raydar. I doubt I'd ever install a Quad 4 from scratch myself, but it's nice to have this manual just in case I ever stumble across a Fiero for sale locally that has had this transplant. I figure this would be a good combination for autocross.

I have a forum, That I could put it all in the tech forum area..

I could also on my night off, post the whole thing on here, in a thread, it take a few nights, but might be worth it to have it on this forum and use the sites photo installer..

I knew two guys that had Quad 4 swaps. This was way back in the mid 1990's. IIRC the quad four required quite a bit of fabrication to fit , cradle modification , shift mechanism reworking etc. Both owners enjoyed driving them and reported Duke type performance below 2500 RPM and a strong surge of power above that.
The Quad Four engine is quite old, it began in 1987 and GM made it until the Ecotec came out. While the engine has a good record it would seem to make more sense to do the Ecotec swap. The engine is easier to find in great shape, has an abundant performance aftermarket, runs smoother and performs better. I have not seen a Quad Four Fiero in many years and swaps are few, but we can also say that about the Ecotec.
