This is childish though. I was actually hoping you had documentation, and then I could believe you were making that much power, but as usual I am forced to take you at your word, and that is something I'm afraid I can't do. Good luck with your build. I'm sure a 282 will do just fine behind your DOHC, it does well behind documented 300whp documented cars.

I like those side scoops!

Look whats out of the garage for the first time since Thanksgiving!





Yeah, it looks worse than went it went in. However, I replaced the decklid, fenders, bumper, inner fenders, headlights, headlight motors, and the entire front suspension has been rebuilt, including the brakes (Sunbird GT). I also cleaned and painted all the sheet metal under the front clip.

Next section will be the engine compartment.

Hmm, this thread reminds me a little of my Coupe Project thread as seen below:

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/052684.html

Its been alot of work so far. I dont make enough time to tinker on it. I'd much rather be out riding my KTM!

Quick update. The injectors are on their way back from DW after a clean, balance and flow test (they were clogged really bad from setting). Once I get the engine buttoned back up and verify it runs ok, I plan on dropping the cradle and getting started on the engine bay. (maybe, read below)

Now that its getting really warm here, riding season is coming to a close. Either I ride early in the AM (sunrise) or on the rare sub 90deg day. So time to tinker on the Fiero. I totally revamped my garage but its nearly impossible to do anything. All the bikes, atv's etc have got to go. So time to build a bike shed! Ok, after that, I'll get back on the Fiero.. I promise! lol No really, I have to get this car driveable b4 Dean finishes my 88GT build. Its not like the 88 will set outside!

The car is drivable. Clutch cant handle a launch but holds just fine when rolling. So I guess I am gonna go ahead and pull the drivetrain. Clean and paint etc while its out.

So... I guess I should post an update on Garths car. I received a box full of parts on Friday. Even though its my car and now in Florida, I believe Garth wants it back. I think all the talk about my 88 got him excited about the car again. When we went to the LeMons race with Jesse and his badass LQ1 swapped 87 race car, I KNEW Garth would be on the hook again! I cant say that I was surprised when a box from MegaSquirt arrived. Garth ordered the harness, WBO2, ING-6, and MS3 w/ the daughter board. LOL he spent about $1200 on a car he doesn't own! Unfortunately, MS sent a MS1 EMS so I have to RMA that tomorrow. No biggie, I have a lot to do anyway. I am going to pull the cradle tomorrow. I have to set my gantry back up first though.

Plan:
Drop cradle & inspect the drivetrain
Clean & paint everything
Send the KONI's off to be rebuilt
Redo the exhaust (its too loud and split at the Y-pipe)
Source another front manifold to eliminate the shared collector.
Tune up & change the WP while its out.
DOHC top swap (I have all the parts, but need all the intake manifold bolts (the long ones, apparently they are different)
Move the coil pack from the stock location to where the battery is located
Move the battery up front and replace it with my own mini-battery kit
Lay out the harness and prepare the original ECU location for the MS3.
Remove the N20 bits as the car will be forced induction.

Here goes! If there is any interest, I'll try to keep this updated as I go. Anything goes wrong its on me, I don't have to worry about a shop pulling some hocus pocus BS on this one.

I wonder why we were having fuel issues? (there is a booster FP for the N2O set up)


Original BVMotosports LQ1 timing belt plate circa 2000!

I removed the OE dog bone mount and started cleaning up the engine bay. Car is in really good shape and practically ZERO rust.

1st coat of paint

I put in some hrs today! Nothing worth posting pics. Just a lot of cleaning and painting. Ok, now I am off to strip and paint the cradle....

Flywheel botls are kicking my BUTT!

I have one that I modded years ago. I dug it out of my spare sockets. Even that one is too thick! I guess I can hit it with the grinding wheel again or put a ball grinder on my dremel and go to town on the flywheel. I really dont want to ruin a $500 flywheel though.

Thanks for the advice.

I hope you put socket heads back in that flywheel upon reassembly

At this point I am going to pour acid on the flywheel for revenge. LOL

Looking good. Just goes to prove what I have always said; time spent working on a Fiero equals time spent on the road.

Not much to report. Just doing some wiring for the MS3 and running the vac lines. I also cut the heat shield off the stock crossover pipe and used some DEI Titanium heat wrap. BTW the genuine DEI wrap is 20 times nicer than the ebay "titanium wrap".

Tomorrow i need to mount the battery relocation kit (Norms) and route the wires. I have an AWESOME mod for that. The wires will be almost completely hidden... its gonna be SWEET!

Engine & trans are on the cradle... I'm taking the weekend off. Its so nice, time to hit the track!

Suspension is all back on the cradle. All the new brake parts arrived yesterday as well. The drivetrain is ready to go back into the car. I just need to sort out the fuel pump and route the battery relocation this week. Not long now before she is running again!

BV,
I was looking at this today and noticed your ashtray doors. A tip I used: clean them real quick with some soapy water to remove any type of finger and hand oils then saturate them 4 or 5 days in a row with Armor All or similar treatment. They will come up looking brand new! Love the interior especially with TXGOODs set in it (not sure if this is the white or red car).

LOL Its def not the 87!

87


88




Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. I haven't gotten around to cleaning the car up yet. Way too many other problems to take care of ATM.

Not much to report. The suspension is back on and wiring for the MS3 has begun. Oh how I love wiring... sic

Solid cradle mounts


Wiring getting started!


Crossover pipe wrapped


Suspension done


Engine should go back into the car this weekend if I can get some help.

I haven't really touched the car in the last few days. I cut out the spare tire area to mount the battery relocation and ran the positive cable under the car. It is routed rather uniquely and will be nearly invisible. Pretty clever idea to reuse a redundant part if you ask me! Garth is coming to visit for a few days next month. We have decided to postpone any further wiring work. I just need to get the cradle installed before then.

Tyler and I will be installing the drivetrain in about and hour. Its going to be fun wrestling that wide sucker in place. Standby!

I sorted out a awesome CAI for the car today. Too easy!

Lots of views on this thread. I'll keep updating as I go. Things will slow down until Garth arrives early next month. Garth is going to, somehow, find three days to come visit from Virginia (Yorktown) to assist with the wiring. Something about him "not trusting my color vision"....LOL

Few random pics:

Tyler lending a much needed hand (no really, he is much smaller than me so this is one of the rare above car pics!)





Better pic of the wrinkle black cam covers. I think they came out nice!

I swear, getting that stupid (and rather poor quality) battery box in was harder than putting the drivetrain back in the car. Holy *%+)*&% %(*&%%!!!!!
