dozol's build thread "FIERO REBORN" (Page 4/18) prostreet505 OCT 30, 09:09 PM Yea, scrap the crx intake idea. You already have a custom cold air intake on your car. It looks good and is very functional. Don't sacrifice hp for good looks. Thats just my .02 dozol OCT 30, 09:18 PM ok craig I was just throwing an idea around. I had that intake im my red fiero. It looked nice and sounded good. Maybe i paint the existing black tube some other color, i donk know. I will wait until its done. any updates Craig? dominik dozol NOV 08, 03:09 AM updates updates updates Well today i stopped by Craig's house to see how things were going. The cradle was separated from the engine, will be repainted The old transmission was removed, turned out i need a new clutch. Here are couple pictures a took with my camera phone. dozol NOV 08, 03:12 AM m0sh_man NOV 08, 11:50 AM from my observations: And i hate to rain on the parade cause everything looks like its getting top notch attention. the 4 speed transaxle removed was a 4:10 4 speed im guessing from the FWD shift cable ears that are on it, putting another 4:10 back into that car would be a waste, that being said, ive got two of them in unknown condition $300 shipped to your door, both removed from 84's with blown motors. second view: your using the stock fiero intake, even in ported/polished form if you get over 160HP and 210ft/lbs ill be VERY VERY surprised. with a 3.4L pushrod motor 95% of the dyno's done using a stock ported intake with bored throttlebody never exceeded 150HP, my stock 3.4L with the trueleo intake only had like 143HP (at the wheels) my horsepower guess would be 150HP and 195ft/lbs at the wheels, this is dependant on if the heads and lower intake get ported or not, if they dont, id take 10hp and 10ft/lbs off that guess. also what cam are you going to be using? this will also make a large difference in the amount of power that can be had. matthew dozol NOV 08, 12:22 PM yay ! thanks for the reply ! The transmission will be a 3.63 ratio (correct me if the number is right) which was rebuilt previously and is in a plastic bag waiting to be painted I am aware of the stock plenum giving poor performance. That is why we have decided to carb the engine. Shortly i will be getting performer intake manifolds (base and plenum), 4 bbl carb, the distributor and some other parts needed for this project from Jegs. This should solve the stock intake problem any thoughts on this? Kyle1016 NOV 08, 12:25 PM looking good, was wondering what you two were up too Keep on posting pics kyle dozol NOV 08, 06:39 PM sorry guys but im learning as we go. this would be the base manifold with top one? dozol NOV 08, 06:46 PM and the holley carburetor? Holley 390cfm Vacuum Secondary 4-Barrel Carburetor dominik m0sh_man NOV 08, 08:01 PM by going carb your probably going to have 180-190HP depending on other mods your doing, definatly better than the stock intake. the 4 speed from a 85-86 v6 car is 3.65 ratio things ill need to know to give you a "fair" horsepower analysis would be: what cam are you using? what compression ratio your pistons are stock rockers, or roller rockers? i already saw your adding headers so that will help alot, id recommend 2.25" exhaust are the heads and intake going to be ported? need to know what exactly is being done to the engine. matthew
