dozol's build thread "FIERO REBORN" (Page 5/18)

hey !

I know we are not using stock camshaft. Craig will have to help here with details.

Heads will be shaved to bump up the compression.

Rockers i believe will remain stock unless we decide otherwise.

Heads will be ported and polished.

As for the exhaust, I dont know the specifics, it will be a true dual exhaust.

Craig should chime in soon to verify what i just said.

I own the second page !!!

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.

We are going with the crane 272 cam, crane gold roller rockers. The pistons are forged flattop with a 9.5:1 compression ratio. The heads are going to be ported and polished along with the intake. The headers and exhaust will be fabricated by me, and 2 1/4 pipes are going to be used. The trans is a 85 3.65 ratio that has been redone. I am hoping to achive around a 210 to 220 hp with 103 octane gas and some fine tuning, But we should achieve at least 200 on pump gas. The dyno will tell the results when it is all said and done.

No problem. Inquiring minds need to know

ill guess your going to be right around your horsepower goal then, +/- 10 HP or so, one of the good things is that 80% of the stuff your doing will swap over to a 3.4L if you ever decide you want alittle more power and low end torque, the shortblock with the updated pistons are the onlything that wont swap over

I went into this project with the idea of being able to reuse the majority of these components on a 3.4 block in the future if he wanted to. I would really like to see this car with a 350 in it, but I think I scared him out of that idea when I took him for a test drive in my 84 350. What do you say Dominik, are you up for a 350?
dozol NOV 09, 10:23 PM
lol I dont think i could handle a 350. Right now im driving 130hp Focus. Well there is a quite a difference between 130 and 450 hp.

We didnt even get to the 4th gear ! I must say it felt really nice but i dont think you floored it Craig, did you?

When i started the project i just wanted to replace the tranny, then I wanted a rebuilt 2.8, now its giong to be a carburated heavily modded 2.8 with estimated 200hp.

For past 3 and a half years my dream was to have a Fiero which would be reliable. I did not care

if it was fast, I just wanted to enjoy it.

Now my dream is slowly coming true and additionally another dream might happen. I might beat my friend's 07 Civic Si.

The second isnt really that important but still i cant wait.....

Not quite 450hp I wish it was 450 rwhp But no, I did not have it to the floor. I was about half throttle. Maybe next time you stop by we can try and hit 4th gear.

I hope to have the cradle painted this weekend. In between my road trips that is.
dozol NOV 09, 10:55 PM
lol maybe i shouldnt experience the power your 84 has. I dont want MY car to feel slow when it is done
