While walking thorugh the local junkyard the other day looking for a 3800 sc me and the owner came across a grand am turbo motor. He said that would be interesting. I said what? He said slapping that into a fiero. I was like would that work? He was like i dont know. So i thought i would come on here and see if anybody has done it before or has heard of it being done? Any answers? I can get the engine and turbo real cheap. I forgot to ask if it was intercooled or not though?

How much do those engines cost? My sister wants a Fiero too, so I thought it might be cool to build a project car in a couple of years and give it to her for her 18th birthday..
a metallic red 84 SE, with a 2.0L sunbird or grand am turbo 4cyl.. aero notchback fascias and moldings, sunroof, etc. and a stereo almost as good as mine.. (she loves LOUD trance & techno music too )
Find a turbo 3.1 from a grand prix 90-91 200 hp stock...add some higher ratio rockers and rebuild to a 3.4 and you should see 240hp with an exhaust and some porting.

that is going to be tough considering that year and model was only limited to something like two years, my friend has one and treats it like is baby. It is a sweet car though with hud and digital dash

Anybody got any info on that turbo 3.1 motor? Is it just like the normal 3.1 of the 90-91 cars basically, or is its internals different. Would this be a pretty easy swap?
I'm not gonna even think about giving my sister a turbo 3.1, or even 2.8.. she's crazy enough just driving a gokart.. (we used to race all the time at a local track)
besides.. I wouldn't mind playing with a turbo 4cyl.. but not a duke. hehe
There Is a Black 87 GT upin canada aka "Devilish" it has a 91' 3.1L Turbo, Chrome every thing a sweet exhaust 13" cross drilled rotors and the loudes blow off valve i have ever heard I spoke with the owner last spring at carlise. he was very tight liped about every thing But his wife later said it had a 91 grand-prix 3.1 turbo in it.
p.s. that car it the one in the galery with the flames/ devil on the hood.
