this is about fiero swaps which was the main subject back a page. remember i stated "3800" this is removing the old engine and putting a totally diffrent engine in. This requires customization of engine mounts exhaust, etc...
like i said previously. VS installing a turbo to a non turbo vehicle |

Both are custom jobs, I dont see why you think anyone should be more proud of an engine swap than turboing a nt assuming the person did both himself he should get credit for doing it as it does take time, money and inginuity.If claim you can ghetto together a turbo kit with no other upgrades just so you can say you have a turbo and (as scary as it is i've heard of people doing it) to have the bov noise then I could also say I could take a 3800 with the 3800's at tranny (no adaptor plate needed then) and engine cradle assembly, put it up in place of the fiero's cradle, use the welder to just weld all the mounts solid to the chassi, cut the axles up and weld them to the correct length since i doubt the axles are the same length and/or spline count without worrying about them being balanced or even true and then just toss the engine harness inside the engine bay and hook up about enough wires to the ecu to make it have minimum functinality. Obviously it would be a pos but one could also say he has a 3800 in his car... Either way if you want to do something right it is going to take time and money, if you rush stuff or try to do it the cheap way eventually it will come back and bite you in the a$$. Unless someone acctually documents the time it takes to do an engine swap including the time going for parts runs and such and then puts a turbo onto a car of the same make/model and documents all the time and energy devoted into that you cannot say for sure which is going to take longer because you have no concrete evidence.

ok. certified mechanic or whoever you really are. i have read your reposts for the last time. this thread was dead long ago and i know that everybody is tired of reading it. to be completely honest, you humor me. stupidity such as yours is cheap entertainment. however, beating a dead horse with nothing but repititions gets old fast. this thread is so far off base due to your personal attacks that have no logical base. you have nothing to prove what i have done, and have never seen my resume. i answered all questions asked of me honestly. you avoided every question about yourself going so far as to change your email and take down your webpage. are you hiding the fact that you're something you're not? go back to the gay pride forum where you can be yourself. with this im going to bow out and leave you to an empty room. ------------------
