Quick question, How do you plan on getting to the belts in the future or replace water pump, alternator, timing belt? But looks like a good challenge. I wish you the best results with this project.  already subscribed

I am going to have to move the alternator and A/C compressor down low and closer to the block because of clearance issues with the firewall and hinge boxes. The waterpump is inside the timing covers and is driven by the timing belt. I will be replacing both before final engine install. I am making an access panel in the firewall where the ECM used to live to get to a couple things but a waterpump failure will result in me having to drop the engine out to repair. I'll have some more pics to post later in the week.

Ive heard the water pump on my 2.7 is a real pita too. Luckily its still going good (knock on wood). Im getting close to 100K now.

I wouldnt even mess with the factory engine management, Megasquirt all the way... |

Megasquirt is only an engine management system. It can't shift an auto trans and I know of no stand alone trans controller that can shift this unit.. I believe that the installer has no choice but to try and work with the factory OBDII PCM. If he is using the OEM PCM on a matched powertain it should work but there would be many codes to delete and getting the VATS out might not be easy. You've got to give credit to anyone that attempts a swap like this.When all is said and done he should get have similar performanceto to a GM 3900.

This looks exciting! Keep at it seajai, and I'm sure you'll work everything out. Anything's possible with enough determination.

I thought I saw this same drivetrain in a kit car project a while back and it was running megasquirt/megashift. I know it will control the 41te, so Im betting that there is someone out there that could make it work. A microsquirt/megashift combo would be a sweet place to start. One never knows what direction the builder has in mind, it very might well be nothing about performance and all about doing something different.....

I was looking into using the megasquirt and megashift to control everything. The 41TE is pretty much the same electrically as the 42LE so it would be an easy deal. The problem with the megasquirt is controlling coil-on-plug ignition. There was supposed to be a sequencer in development for that but it didn't look like it was going to come to fruition. Also, I have read somewhere that the megasquirt fuel injector MOSFET's can overheat and burn out.
In 2002 Chrysler combined the TCM and the PCM so I only have 1 computer to deal with on mine. The great thing about having a complete running donor car was I could do some experimenting and determine that, even with all of the other modules disconnected from the CAN BUS, the engine ran fine and the cluster still worked and I didn't get the dreaded "NO BUS" error message. So in the end, I have decided to use the factory computer, it should work fine for me, and there are a few places that can remove the immobilizer programming as well as remove traction control, etc for less than what a stand-alone system would cost me.
My main drive on the project was just to do something that has never been done before. Although, with 253HP and 250 ft lbs of torque, the Chrysler engine should make the Fiero scoot pretty well.[This message has been edited by seajai (edited 11-16-2012).]
