Daewoo's over here had the DOHC head on them up untill I think 03?

I also think that some of the engines in GM's imported cars like the current Optra use the same block as this motor, just a different head.

Some of you DSM 'experts' crack me up.

There are many options available throughout the automotive world for awesome Fiero swaps. Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Pick two.

I'd like to see a stretched longitudinal BMW 5.0 V12 turbo w/Porsche tranny as mentioned above, that'd be a quick beast. Those engines beg to be turbo'd with their 8.8:1 (IIRC) SCR and they're cheap in the junkyards. I guess it shows which two I usually pick.

------------------
'86 Fiero GT 3.4 - broke again
'96 Talon TSi AWD - 11.9 @ 116, sorta broke again
'90 Camaro IROC-Z twin-turbo - sorta broke again
'95 Kawi GPZ1100 - 10 second daily driver, heh

Is that V12 from the 850 really only 8.8:1? thats a surprisingly low compression ratio.

that would make for a good quad turbo build. 4 turbos only because it sounds cooler than 2.

HERE'S TO THE 2M-412. LOL

Yeah, I did remember it right.

10 psi would give you roughly 500hp, and I'm pretty sure the internals could handle that from what I've read.

i second the h22 swap, i would buy it in a heartbeat. i saw somewhere way way back someone had a screen name of b18cfiero on a honda forum i never found the name once i got my fiero or any info if he really did it. the second one would be a vr6 swap or a rotary/comprex swap. as far as a silvertop swap, it would be too small of a motor to enjoy in a fiero, perhaps a mix and match of vw parts to make a good 20v engine na or fi.
the bmw 12 would be annoying, lots of computers, they run it like 2 six cyl engines using the same crank. 2 computers, 2 air meters, 2 everything, real annoying. at my work we toss the 750s around till some poor sap gets stuck fixing it. if the customer actually wanted to spend the money after you shatter his foolish idea that an expensive bmw means low maintenence you get stuck fixing it which is hardly fun either.

I am currently in the process of doing a 350Z motorswap into a beater fiero that i picked up(so i dont tear up my 85gt). right now i am waiting for the guy that i am purchasing the engine from to finish rebuilding it.(it was really low mile but he gets parts from nissan for really cheap, since he races for nissan Quebec in the montreal grand prix) I also already have a MS2 setup for it(and this cars going to be stripped anyway so wiring isn't going to be that big of a hassle). I am chosing to do this swap because: the VQ35 is light, there are tons of aftermarket parts for them, they make pretty good power for a na v6, and if you know where to look you can get them for pretty cheap here also a 60v6 and pretty skinny for a dohc v6 i think a couple inches skinnier than a vg30dett(both from valvecover to valvecover). A 3800sc might have been a better choice but around here it seems that everyone that has a fiero has a 3800sc in it. I know it might have been a better choice to do this swap into a 240sx, but im not a really nissan person(I just like their v6's), and i love gm's little fiero.

i dont mess with nissan stuff but when i was refurbishing used cars i got to drive a few 350s, for how nice the car sounds when its driving by i was supprised at how awful it sounded from inside the car. mabye the acoustics will go in your favor in a fiero. plus since you got all that coolant in a fiero id sleeve and bore that thing out and not worry about the overheating problems.

3800 Turbo - I'd like to see this done. Kevin Marguita (cartuning.ca) tuned by 3800SC swap. He used to be into 3800SC GP's, but eventually turned his back on the SC part of the 3800 and focuses on turbocharging 3.8L's. I have ridden in his turbp GP GT and it is something else. It looks like a rental car, but performs like a monster.

When he travels, he detunes the thing with his laptop and gets incredible mileage with it. He really is quite crafty. He is also working on turbo packages for the Mopar crowd and their HEMI powered 300's and Chargers. A Fiero with this set up would be stone reliable and make gobs of power (easily over 400 HP with an intercooler). However, that is the downside, where to mount the intercooler - and the enormous lenght of plumming associated with it.

I'll stick to my 3800SC, tried and trued, and fun as hell to drive. Plus, asthetically, you pop the hood, and wow, a blower! I've seen some really trick stuff done on this forum, and I'm amazed everytime someone adds their car to the list of L67 swapped Fieros.

Here's a Hell of a Swap for ya, the entire electromotive system from the Tesla Roadster.






would make for a unique fiero.
