Disclaimer: If you follow any instructions here, you assume 100% liability for your own build. NOTHING is guaranteed to work. If you blow up your engine, it is YOUR FAULT. Do not blindly follow this guide and buy parts until you feel you understand for yourself why and how everything about a 3800 engine works. This build thread is NOT BASED ON THE FACTORY INSTRUCTION MANUAL, but rather years of accumulated modification knowledge from across many companies, personal experience, and the internet. It might be helpful for you to buy a Buick 3800s factory service manual.

That's a great list of parts however I think it's a bit misleading. Their are many different ways to do the 3800 swap depending on your abilities and finances. Honestly looking over your list I don''t think I used a single part from it to do any of my swaps.

How to pick out parts for your build: 3800 Performance and Specs of historical swaps
All options for your engine swap will come down to cost and effort. Use the charts and videos below to decide what power you want out and how much effort and money you are willing to invest into the project. 3800 engine modifications are labeled as "Optional" in build 1; and build 2 is completely optional (some needed if you start with a Series III engine).

----------------------Modification Selection Chart-------------------
The below chart shows most camshaft options for a 3800 available, the dyno wheel horsepower numbers for 3800 builds across the internet, and quarter mile track times for 3800 builds across the internet as of 2018. The chart shows the modifications for each person's setup (camshafts, superchargers, cylinder heads, fuel type, boost, compression, etc.). Generally, red colored cells indicate either bad performance or hard to achieve (expensive or lots of other supporting mods required),

----------------Differences between 3800 Engines------------------
There are many variations of 3800 engines. There are 3 different series, supercharged and non-supercharged (NA). Virtually every engine has a different wiring harness and different parts between years, makes, and models.
The ideal donor car or motor to buy is a 1998-2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. If you do not get an engine from a GTP, there are many parts listed in build 1 that you will need in addition, just to make it fit in a Fiero.

Read up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_V6_engine

NOTE: DO NOT SWAP A SUPERCHARGER ONTO A 3800 NA (Naturally Aspirated) BLOCK UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. THE COMPRESSION, PISTONS, AND RINGS ARE DIFFERENT.

----------------------Transmission Options------------------
NOTE: Many transmissions will work with this car. Here are a few common ones that can handle the 3800 power.

----------------------M90 Gen 3 and Gen 5 supercharger specs------------------
Relevant M90 Supercharger Design and Performance Information:
http://www.mscperformance.com/specpg2.html
Alternatively I copied the data from the above link to this post: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/...HTML/139530.html#p14

Here is a quote from Eaton about the performance of an M90 Gen 5 supercharger compared with a Gen 3 supercharger:
The 90-cubic inch Gen V supercharger is very compact. Its housing includes the throttle-body adaptor, crankcase ventilation plumbing, coolant passages, the evaporative emissions purge valve and the rotor drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is sealed and permanently lubricated, obviating the need for oil connections and eliminating a potential source of leaks. Moreover, the Gen V features all-cast components and a larger, low-restriction outlet port. The tuned inlet port is also less restrictive, compared to previous-generation superchargers, allowing a larger (75 millimeter) throttle body. As a result, more air is pumped by the supercharger through the Series III’s induction system. The Gen V’s rotor is finished with Abraidbable Powder Coating (APC) rather than epoxy. APC is a patented material containing graphite that is electrostatically applied to the rotor and baked on. As a result, the rotor requires less clearance within the supercharger housing, resulting in less leakage around its edges, greater airflow at a given operating speed and lower operating temperature. The Gen V’s rotor bearings have been enlarged to increase durability and reduce operating noise and vibration. As a result, the Gen V operates at considerably higher efficiency than its predecessors. At wide open throttle, the Gen V turns at 700 fewer rpm (a 9 percent reduction), draws 13 percent less power from the crankshaft, decreases operating temperature 15 percent and increases volumetric efficiency 9 percent. For the customer, that means a 9 percent increase in horsepower (see product specifications), and best-in-class acceleration times for the Grand Prix.

Thanks for your time and contribution to the cause!!

Everyone's build will vary for sure depending on wants and needs, however for you to go through the trouble and list what worked for you is greatly appreciated. Thank you. It will, at the very least, give people an idea on what to expect and look for.

BUILD 1: A COMPLETE BUDGET 3800 FIERO SWAP AND/OR 3800 REPAIR GUIDE

CLICK TO VIEW MOST OF BUILD 1 ON AMAZON
NOTE: THIS BUILD 1 LIST IS COMPLETE AND INDEPENDENT OF BUILD 2, BUT BUILD 2 INCLUDES THIS BUILD 1 LIST UNLESS NOTED!

NOTE: The ideal donor car or motor to buy is a 1998-2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP or Regal. If you do not get an engine from a GTP or Regal, there are many parts listed below that you will need in addition to make it fit in a Fiero.

Preface: The output of this engine is expected 280 crank horsepower with optional easy, minor modifications. Those modifications are:
-3.4" supercharger pulley - for slightly increased air
-180 degree thermostat - for slightly cooler combustion
-Tune the computer (delete VATS security, increase shift speed, increase torque limiter, delete ABS/EGR/Rear O2 codes, radiator fan setpoints, adjust fuel, MAF calibration, timing, etc.) (ECU/PCM)
-Autolite 104 Spark Plugs (2 heat range colder than stock spark plugs) - for slightly higher knock resistance

This build thread also assumes you optionally DELETE the following:
-Swap the valve covers so that the oil fill cap is on the other side so it is accessible from the Fiero engine bay.
-"Coffee can" vacuum accumulator canister for stock cruise control - stock Fiero cruise control allegedly works by hooking the vacuum line directly to the supercharger port, since the 3800 has more vacuum than the stock Fiero engine.
-Fiero vacuum lines except brake booster and cruise control (unless deleting cruise or switching to the 3800 cruise control module)
-Alternator bracket/coolant circuit (relocated and cooling circuit bypassed)
-Optional: Stock Fiero intake - requires new intake mounted.
-Optional: EGR system - requires welding and sealing shut holes in exhaust and lower intake manifold, detailed in build 2. For non-emissions compliant states. Requires reprogramming the computer to delete EGR codes and functionality.
-Optional: Catalytic Converter and Rear O2 Sensor - For non-emissions compliant states. Requires programming the computer and deleting rear O2 sensor codes and functionality.
-Optional: EVAP System/vacuum lines - requires plugging supercharger hole with freeze plug and JB weld, reprogramming the computer, plug the extra EVAP hose on the fuel tank header, and venting the gas tank cap (You can easily do this by removing the valve in the gas tank filler cap.)

Update: The below build worked great and took me less than 1 month. I ran a 13.5 second quarter mile without modifying the tune, and a 1.9 second 60' time with street tires. I drove this build for nearly two years and MAN IT WAS FUN! It was an extremely easy direct-swap effort, and I would do it to EVERY Fiero in a heartbeat. The total cost for hard parts was around $1850 in 2016; I bought a car with the engine+transmission+axles in it for $500 and scrapped the body to get back $125, and also built my own axles and harness from junk parts and had a friend do the tune for $100.

THE LIST:
The numbers in (x) are the quantity of parts you need to order.

---------------------PARTS YOU NEED TO TAKE OFF THE DONOR CAR--------------------
-Engine
-Map Sensor Vacuum Lines
-Transmission (optional; bolted to engine anyways)
-Wiring Harness up to the Firewall + OBD Connector from inside the car (cut the wires) + Fiero Wiring Harness
-Computer
-3" Exhaust flange (cut it off from the car side)
-Extra fuses and relays from the fuse box
-Power washer fluid pump, tank, and hoses if you want some cheap methanol injection (not covered in this guide)
-Electronic Cruise Control Module and Cruise Cable

NOTE: It is not recommended going smaller than a 3.4" pulley on a stock setup without more modifications to the engine first. See BUILD 2.

Optional: Supercharger Pulley Puller (1x):
https://ebay.us/aQacLX
NOTE: Re-installing the pulley can be difficult. I put an ice bag on the shaft and the new pulley hub in the oven and used a hammer and a block of wood to pound it on. There may be better tools for this installation.
NOTE: You can rent something like this from autoparts stores but they usually do not fit right.

Optional: Flexible air duct flex 4" dia, 41inch long, to replace stock Fiero/3800 air intakes(1x):

NOTE: This entirely replaces the stock air intake and water separator. Air filter is fastened under fender well behind drivers' seat and behind the stock intake vent.

Optional: 1.9 Rockers (1x):
https://ebay.us/kpeqbM
NOTE: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY AFTERMARKET CAMSHAFT!!!! If you want some decent performance gains (5-7%) with minimal effort, these quite literally bolt on to the engine. Might be a good idea to replace valve springs if the engine is over 100,000 miles (see build 2).

Valve cover seals (1x):
Ultra-Power VS50465R - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

NOTE: Only required for Series II return style fuel rails.
REPLACED IN BUILD 2

Fuel pump (1x):
Walbro 255 LPH - https://walbrofuelpumps.com...-pump-6cyl-2-8l.html
NOTE: The 3800sc requires slightly more fuel than the stock Fiero pump can put out. You might be able to get by without changing this if you do not modify the 3800sc at all. It can always be changed later, as the tank can be pulled separately.
NOTE: SEE BUILD 2 FOR E85 CONVERSION. YOU WIILL NEED A 340+ LPH PUMP INSTEAD!
NOTE: BE CAREFUL WITH THESE PUMPS. ON A DIFFERENT BRAND I BOUGHT, THE INLET WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK AND SUCKED AGAINST THE TANK, NOT ALLOWING FOR FUEL FLOW AT HIGH FUEL DEMANDS. I TRIMMED THE BOTTOM LIP OFF OF THIS FUEL PUMP TO GIVE MORE CLEARANCE FOR DRAWING FUEL FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK, WHILE STILL ALLOWING ROOM FOR THE SCREEN TO FIT - REMOVE SCREEN BEFORE TRIMMING.
NOTE: Many fuel pumps out there are FAKES. Buy directly from the manufacturer's website or from this post.

Autolite 104 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
Note: Colder plugs decrease hot spots in the combustion chamber that could lead to KR reducing your timing and thus power.
REPLACED IN BUILD 2

Optional: Spark Plug Gap Tool (1x):
Performance Tool W80540 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

-------------------EXHAUST (Upgraded Entirely in build 2)-----------------

NOTE: This exhaust system mates to the stock 3800 exhaust headers, which allegedly can support up to 300hp. You will have to custom-weld your exhaust. There is no bolt-on exhaust for an engine swap (does someone want to start making these?). Final fitment can vary between year models of Fieros, engine mounts, etc. Go to an exhaust shop and get one welded up after the engine is in the car.

Muffler - 3" right in, 2 2.5" right + left out (1x):
Flowtech 50363FLT - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: You will have to weld a bend in your own exhaust. Pictured below.
NOTE: stainless options - you will have to do a search for a dual 2.5" offset outlets on opposing sides 3" offset inlet (just like the Flowtech above) - Summit Stainless Mufflers

-------Exhaust pipes-------
NOTE: The best types are mandrel bent stainless steel.

Donor car exhaust flange (1x):
YOU MUST CUT OFF THE EXHAUST FLANGE FROM THE DONOR CAR TO USE IN THIS EXHAUST SETUP!

90° bend 3" diameter (1x):
‎X AUTOHAUX a22111700ux0403 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: Must be VERY TIGHT bend radius, likely needed custom weld job. You will have to cut and re-weld this at a sharper angle.

NOTE: Could use the stock Fiero rubber exhaust hangers to hang these from

2.5" diameter Exhaust Tips (2x):
Re-used stock Fiero exhaust tips



-------------COOLANT AND HOSES--------------
SEE DIAGRAM BELOW FOR PART #s
NOTE: THE BELOW DIAGRAM AND PART #s RELATED TO THE HEATER HOSE ONLY WORK FOR AN 87-88 FIERO. YOU WILL NEED A DIFFERENT HEATER HOSE FOR OTHER MODELS.

1 - 3800 Thermostat housing to drivers' side coolant hose 1.25" to 1.25" (1x):
Dayco 71082 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: Cut a few inches off the end(s). Duralast E71082 also works.

2 - Radiator filler neck 1.25" inlet and 1.25" outlet (1x):
HCHCSPEED ‎JP2826-SL - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: To fill coolant. Plug the overflow nipple. There are many other ways to do this. Avoid buying a ridiculously expensive custom thermostat housing (https://westcoastfiero.com/...l-thermostat-housing) or to avoid making a new one

4 - 3800 Water pump 1.5" to Passengers' Fiero coolant hose 1.25" (1x):
Gates 21205 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: Cut a few inches off the small end. DAYCO 71126 also works.

5 - Barb coupling for below heater hose to stock Fiero heater hose 5/8-5/8" ID (1x):
ICT Billet ‎AN627-10A - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: Instead you could optionally use a barb ball valve shutoff for shutting off hot coolant circulation to the cabin of the car during the summer: Sharkbite 22462LFA - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

6 - Heater Hose (1x):
Continental 63113 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: This works well for 87-88 Fieros; earlier Fieros may need a longer heater hose to the firewall. Goes with the 5/8" barb above; you'll have to fabricate and mount a retaining bracket detailed in LostNotForgotton's Video
NOTE: The 7/8" 3800sc heater hose elbow can squeeze on to 5/8" stock Fiero heater hose line

NOTE: Instead of fabricating a retainer bracket in the video above, some choose to tap the coolant hole in the lower intake manifold with threads and put a pipe 3/4 MNPT to 3/4" OD barb fitting in, and a 5/8 ID molded hose with a right angle, and a 3/4" OD Barb fitting to join to the stock Fiero hose. I do not recommend as the hole is undersized for the proper sized tap and would ideally be honed out/drilled larger before a proper tap can fit with with a 59/64 drillbit, however this process is prone to cracking the aluminum intake to be potentially irreparable:
NPT tap set (1x): Drill America POUCSNPT5 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
3/4 MNPT to 3/4" OD barb fitting (1x): Sharkbite ‎UC134LFA - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
5/8 ID molded hose with a right angle (1x): Gates 28467 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
59/64 drill bit (1x): Drill America DWDRSD59/64 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: You may want to buy other large drill bits in steps leading up to a 59/64" so you can drill out the heater hose coolant port in steps. Again, I do NOT recommend drilling for risk of cracking.

7 - Aluminum Heater Hose Elbow (1x):
Dorman 47065HP - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: These CRACK if they are plastic! REPLACE with aluminum above!

8 - Optional: 180° Thermostat (1x):

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS PS245T - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: Comes from a 1988 Fiero V6 already, so if you have this car you do not need this sensor.

3-pin Oil pressure sender connector (1x):
Standard Motor Products HP4480 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: only required if building your own harness

1/4" NPT Male to Female Elbow for oil pressure sender (1x):
Legines ‎3420*BB - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: May be difficult to install the oil pressure sensor above with the FieroRog alternator relocator bracket installed. This should help with relocating that. I am not sure this exact part will give enough clearance for the oil sensor (may be pinned against the oil filter housing)

4t65e-HD/4T65e/4T60e Transmission Speed Sensor to Fiero Speedometer Buffer Circuit (1x):
https://reddevilriver.com/h...peedo-buffer-circuit

NOTE: Can use stock Fiero relays instead.

-----------------------4t65e-HD/4T65e/4T60e TRANSMISSION----------------------
NOTE: For manuals, everyone seems to a Spec 3+ clutch, however sometimes Spec sends the wrong clutch. It must be MATCHED for your specific manual transmission; not any one will do and you can NOT order them online from what I understand. And sometimes even Spec puts the wrong clutch in the box. Best to call them up and verify your exact application first. I will not recommend any part numbers for a clutch since this is an ongoing issue. Your clutch may rub the transmission if they get it wrong. Contact them here - https://specclutch.com/contact/
NOTE: If you are keeping a Fiero manual transmission, skip this section. Check out how to bypass the auto transmission controls in a 3800 engine - https://www.gmtuners.com/fiero/transbypass.htm

1/4" NPSM to -6 AN male (1x 2-pack):
ICT Billet 551114 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

4t65e-HD/4T65e/4T60e Shifter bracket (1x):
http://westcoastfiero.com/p...ion-shifter-adapterx
Alternatively Chuck Peterson makes these - https://www.facebook.com/chuck.peterson.566
NOTE: It is not difficult to construct your own. Some manage to simply unbolt the shifter arm and bolt it on in the reverse direction of the shifting action with other minor modification. Some choose to reverse the linkage action on the Fiero side shift lever itself.
NOTE: For F23/F40 manual, contact fieroguruperformancellc@gmail.com https://fieroguruperformance.com/?page_id=906
NOTE: F40 manual shifter cable here: http://rodneydickman.com/pr....php?products_id=341

-----------------------ACCESSORIES/AC/OTHER/MISC----------------------

CONTINENTAL 49247 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: From a 1995 Ford Winstar 3.8, only needed if using FieroRog's alternator relocation bracket

Accessory Belt - 81.5", 6 ribs (1x):
ROADMAX 6K815AP - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: You may have to go up or down a size in 0.5" increments to ensure tight fitment; final fitment may vary. Search in RockAuto with a * for a wildcard (K0608** or 6k8** for 80"-89" belt lengths) - https://www.rockauto.com/en...h/?partnum=6k6%2A%2A

Optional: Engine Blower Blockoff Kit (1x):
https://www.campsitecarbon....blower-block-off-kit

Four Seasons 33181 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Optional: Custom A/C hose made by a radiator shop (1x):
To build your own, see LostNotForgotton's video - https://youtu.be/ZyPZkCPJzN...qJnkff2RlPWB_O&t=530
NOTE: I had a radiator shop make one. You need an R12 style port for the AC Pressure sensor. I cut one off of a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville AC hose and had it braised onto the Fiero side. I also used the 2001 GTP compressor side AC hose fitting for the compressor that came with the GTP. Beware, there were at least 2 types of compressors/AC hoses on 3800 engines.
Chuck Peterson makes hoses - https://www.facebook.com/chuck.peterson.566 or https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/069681.html

Optional: R134a AC Seals (3800 side) (1x):
Four Seasons 26728 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Optional: R134a AC Seals (Fiero Side) (1x):
Four Seasons 26735 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: If you do want to utilize the AC system, you will need to charge it with R134a or newer refrigerant. The Fiero did not come equipped with this, so you will need to swap all your AC System O-Rings with Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR), and your orifice tube.

Optional: R134a AC Orifice Tube (1x):
FOUR SEASONS 38902 - Under 105 Degree weather - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

Alternator (1x):
ACDELCO 335-1088 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: You need a year 2000+ alternator for any 3800 car to fit with FieroRog alternator bracket. This is the highest current (125A) model made; relocating the alternator without the cooling circuit can make a lower current alternator struggle to keep up. Your donor car may have this already; the bigger cars (park avenue, bonneville) have higher current alternators already. Do NOT get an off brand and/or remanufactured alternator; they tend to be junk.

Optional: Alternator voltage boost circuit (1x):
https://easyperformance.com...ltage-booster-module
OR
https://zzperformance.com/b..._sid=0a5a8d6d2&_ss=r
NOTE: The relocated alternator does not get cooled. It looses efficiency and does not charge as well. This boost circuit may help with that by increasing the alternator voltage by 0.6 Volts.

Optional: A/C Compressor Bypass Pulley (1x):
Dorman 34195 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
NOTE: Bypasses the AC Compressor if not using AC to save some horsepower and weight.

----------------MOUNTING AND BRACKETS-----------------
NOTE: I use FieroRog brackets. You could build your own, or there are alternatives (like West Coast Fiero), but many parts from this build thread including axles may not fit if you use alternatives.

NOTE: FOR MANUALS ONLY! DIFFERENT THAN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLEXPLATE BOLTS!
-Clutch bolts: GM 24571667 - https://ebay.us/udILtq

BELOW: These rubber/poly mounts are on the cradle side and mount to steel FieroRog mounting brackets on the transmission/engine side. I would highly recommend NOT re-using the stock Fiero engine and transmission mounts as they are probably old and worn out.

Poly Cradle Mounts below:
POLY Front/Rear Transmission Mounts (1x): http://rodneydickman.com/pr...o.php?products_id=35

POLY Engine Cradle Mount (1x):
http://rodneydickman.com/pr...o.php?products_id=73
NOTE: I bought the above 1988 Rodney Dickman engine cradle mount and it did not quite fit my FieroRog engine bracket right. I had to drill some ~1/2" offset holes. MAY IMPACT AXLE LENGTH REQUIREMENTS. Earlier year Fiero cradle/mount combinations may work better.
NOTE: IF YOU DELETE THE BALANCE SHAFT, POLY MOUNTS MAY MAKE THE CAR VERY SHAKY! INSTEAD CONSIDER RUBBER BELOW!

Optional: Adjustable Dogbone Mount - bolts to FieroRog's alternator relocation bracket (1x):
http://rodneydickman.com/pr...o.php?products_id=72
NOTE: The adjustable poly dogbone mount above appears to be discontinued by Rodney. He still has an adjustable steel dogbone mount for sale, but I do not recommend a solid mount: http://rodneydickman.com/pr....php?products_id=226

Rear Frame Floating Cradle Nut Kit (1x):
http://rodneydickman.com/pr....php?products_id=276
NOTE: It is CERTAIN that the original nuts for the rear cradle will snap off the frame. You may have to cut a slot in the frame to get them out. I used 2 pairs of big vise grips to grab the nut through the cut hole in the frame in order to torque against it. The nut kit above sits inside the frame so in case the welds break loose next time, the mount is long enough that it can torque against the frame. It is not hard to weld a nut to a drilled piece of steel yourself.

-------------------AXLES----------------------
NOTE: If you are keeping a Fiero manual transmission, skip this section.
NOTE: If you are going to an F23 or F40 manual, your setup will likely need to be completely custom; contact fieroguruperformancellc@gmail.com https://fieroguruperformance.com/?page_id=906 or Stephen Poe: https://www.facebook.com/stephen.poe.5011

Want to buy axles? Stephen Poe will make axles for you. You must supply him the following information:
-Your Transmission Type
-Your Engine Type
-Your Fiero Type (make/model)
-Your engine mount/transmission mount type
-Measurements from both transmission output shaft surfaces to the inside surfaces of the Fiero hubs with no axles installed, with wheels on ground.

I have my engine (3800 SC) out of a 2002 Grand Prix 40th Ann. so I'll be watching VERY close for those vids...

[This message has been edited by bulldog85043 (edited 11-12-2017).]

BUILD 2: A COMPLETE PARTS LIST FOR AN ALL-OUT 3800 BUILD (build 1 also needed if you are doing a Fiero swap)

THIS BUILD IS IN ADDITION TO BUILD 1, MEANING YOU MUST ORDER ALL OF BUILD 1 PARTS TOO, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY MARKED OTHERWISE

CLICK HERE TO VIEW NON-FIERO RELATED 3800 MODS ON AMAZON

CLICK TO VIEW MOST OF BUILD 2 ON AMAZON

NOTE: THIS BUILD IS TO MAXIMIZE THE POWER OF YOUR 3800 AT A HIGH RPM WITH THE ZZP XPZ CAMSHAFT. CONSIDER DOING YOUR OWN RESEARCH INTO A LOWER RPM CAMSHAFT/VALVETRAIN AND AVOID A TIMING CHAIN/BALANCE SHAFT REMOVAL AND MACHINING CYLINDER HEAD VALVE GUIDES. MAYBE ONLY PUT 1.9 RATIO ROCKERS ON WITH A STOCK CAMSHAFT, OR TRY A ZZP VS OR XP CAMSHAFT FOR GOOD PERFORMANCE GAINS WITH MINIMAL EFFORT.

NOTE: THIS BUILD IS MATCHED FOR A ZZP XPZ CAMSHAFT. NOTES INDICATE WHAT PARTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS CAMSHAFT.

NOTE: IF YOU INSTALL A NEW CAMSHAFT, LIFTERS, ROCKERS, BEARINGS, RODS, RINGS, OR PISTONS, ETC., YOU MUST BREAK-IN YOUR ENGINE. USE BREAK-IN OIL ADDITIVE AND DO NOT REV YOUR CAR MORE THAN ~4,000 RPM FOR THE FIRST ~1,500 MILES!

NOTE: THIS BUILD ASSUMES YOU DELETE the balance shaft/tensioner spring/balance shaft gear (to fit the double roller timing chain), detailed here: https://www.youtube.com/wat...kff2RlPWB_O&index=51

This list assumes you buy a Series II engine and convert to a Series III supercharger. It would be easier to buy a Series III to begin with.

THE LIST:
The numbers in (x) are the quantity of parts you need to order.

----------------------Air------------------------
For turbo guys, check these out:
Intake manifold from a 1995-1998 Camaro/Firebird (1x): GM 24505489(?) - https://ebay.us/247eyG or GM 24505487 - https://ebay.us/kmUCH3 or GM 24504806 - https://ebay.us/rBlksV
NOTE: It would be difficult to use a 99-02 Camaro/Firebird intake (GM 24505923 / GM 24505921) because it is drive by wire and the inlet is angled in a poor direction.

NOTE: See supercharger upgrade instructions in Assembly Diagrams section - https://www.fiero.nl/forum/.../HTML/139530.html#p9
NOTE: Longer Bolts are included with intercooler and phenolic spacer kits, so you would not need these bolts.

Optional: 2.8" Supercharger Pulley (1x):
ZZPerformance 2.8 MPS - https://ebay.us/HxwDF4
NOTE: ZZP only guarantees a 2.8" pulley fits on all superchargers, but it is possible to go smaller in some cases (2.7, etc.) without machining.
NOTE: The smallest pulley ZZP offers is a 2.55" pulley after machining down the snout (see below): https://ebay.us/CXKc45
NOTE: If you go below 2.8", it is required to machine down the supercharger snout with a machining tool here: https://ebay.us/URtLzN. INTENSE Racing suggests this is pointless, as smaller pulleys beyond this point make exponentially increased temperature from compressed air.
NOTE: Instead of a smaller than a 2.8" supercharger pulley, consider a 5% overdrive balancer pulley detailed in later in this post. Dayco PBO81461SC5 (1x): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B..._US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
REPLACES BUILD 1

NOTE: In order to maintain enough thread engagement. you may need some ~1/4"+ longer bolts than what is included in the 2.5" supercharger kit. The longest 2 bolts included in the ZZP kit are absolutely too short for the 1/4" spacer. Instead, opt for a M8x1.25 threaded rod, and cut it to about 190-195mm and put a nut on the top. Install the nut before cutting so you can run the nut over the cut threads to re-shape them, or just re-tap or file down the threads after cutting:

NOTE: DO NOT BUY CHEAP INJECTORS ON EBAY OR AMAZON, THEY'RE FAKES. You can tell by the DEKA words on the injection molding; fakes do not have DEKA on them. If it is not around $50 per injector, it is probably a fake.
NOTE: Series III harnesses came with EV6 connectors and Series II harnesses came with EV1 connectors. Your harness provider should be able to put whichever connector on. If you end up with the wrong connectors, it is possible to get an adapter, but it will look messy (6x): https://zzperformance.com/p...riant=12623051948143
NOTE: Even if you do not use E85, you still need bigger injectors. 60# injectors would work, but it is easy to max them out on these engines. Avoid 160# injectors - they will be difficult to get to idle properly. 80# is a perfect sweet spot for the ultimate 3800sc build.

NOTE: My pistons measure out of cylinder hole ~0.025". You want .038"-.046" of quench according to INTENSE racing. I am going with 0.035" quench + 0.025" out of hole = 0.060" thick gasket 0.04 extra compression and slightly more power.
NOTE: The arrow and the "L," or Left-Hand Side (LHS) gasket goes on the cylinder 1/3/5 side of the engine (towards the Fiero firewall, away from the donor car firewall). If you look at the rear cover from the rear of the engine, it goes on the left hand side.
NOTE: Your decks and heads must be perfectly flat and clean to install these MLS gaskets. Consider decking your surfaces, detailed in the Assembly videos section build 2. Otherwise they may leak.
NOTE: MLS should be reusable (unless heat cycled), and is not messy to clean off.
NOTE: Cometic indicated to me they have black Viton seal coating on the MLS gaskets and you should NOT use a copper spray on these. INTENSE racing says they do use copper spray. I have had a hard time sealing the coolant passages with these without a copper spray.

SEE BUILD 2 FUEL SECTION FOR PARTS AND DIAGRAM OF MY SETUP

----------------------NORTHSTAR THROTTLE BODY-------------------
Northstar throttle cable (see build 2 air section for parts):
NOTE: I did not hook up cruise control here. You are on your own. You can use stock cruise control if you remove vacuum accumulator canister (coffee can), plug that port from the stock vacuum accumulator canister, and plug the other port into the vacuum port on the top of the supercharger. Or, see harness section for wiring the electronic 3800 cruise module into the fiero.


---------HOW TO HOOK UP PCV--------
All you do is attach a hose from the Northstar TB nipple (before butterfly valve but after MAF) to the nipple on the supercharger by the PCV. You may need to change the direction of the nipple on the northstar throttle.The air goes from the throttle body, through the supercharger nipple, through the intake manifold, through the heads to the crank case, back up through the heads, back through the intake manifold, through the PCV valve, and back into the supercharger intake. There is no way to run a catch can without bypassing the actual PCV in some way, since it sits directly in the Gen 5 Supercharger intake.

I have not heard of most people re-designing the existing fuel pump circuit. I believe most have utilized the original circuit, especially the oil pressure switch and just upgraded the fuel pump fuse to a 15 amp. Some have replaced the original relay with a newer model, but the wiring has remained the same.. curtis

WIRING HARNESS AND COMPUTER/ECU/PCM PROGRAMMING
NOTE: There is no actual tuning guide here, although it is REQUIRED to reprogram your 3800 computer. Harness providers include this.

NOTE: You need to pull the entire engine harness off of the donor car. Nothing past the firewall is needed except for the OBDII port. You do not need the headlight harness.

------------------------------------Buying a harness----------------------------------

Want to build your own harness? Below are diagrams for doing so. This thread does not supply any wire loom dimensions for laying out the harness - that is owned by harness makers above. It is possible to simply splice all of the connections that you need and lay out your own harness routings, but this is unreliable and messy. This guide will not help with that, but it will help with the final wiring diagram.

Below is an example of the PCM pinout diagram of a 2001 Bonneville SSEi. DO NOT USE THIS DIAGRAM IF YOU DID NOT BUY AN ENGINE FROM A 2001 BONNEVILLE SSEi; THEY WILL VARY SLIGHTLY!






Many great wiring harness pin out charts already exist at GMTuners: http://www.gmtuners.com/files/index.htm
Consult Gmtuners for pinout list (this guide BELOW is specifically for a 1998-2002 GTP engine and transmission harness):
http://www.gmtuners.com/fil...o_L67_PCM_wiring.pdf




Harness wiring diagram for a 1998-2002 GTP harness that works 1985-1988 Fiero with a manual transmission:
NOTE: FOR A 1984 FIERO WIRING DIAGRAM, SEE HERE: https://www.fieroinfo.com/w...4_Wiring_Harness.jpg
NOTE: The pin connector guides above are much more thorough. The diagram below bare minimum.
INSTRUCTIONS IN ADDITION TO THIS WIRING DIAGRAM BELOW:
1. For automatic harnesses:
a. Cut and ground the purple/white wire on C203 Pin R
b. Add the speedometer conversion buffer circuit shown below inline with the GTP computer connector C1 (blue) Pin 55 and the fiero C203 connector pin G
2. Change MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp/Engine Light) fuse to 10A
3. Change Fuel Pump Fuse to 15A or 20A
4. Change the Ignition Fuse to 20A
5. Connect C1 (Blue) connector pin 59 to pin 2 on the OBDII connector (diagram below) if you need to tune/scan your computer.
6. Wire up the 1988 Fiero Oil Pressure Gauge (on pin E of C203). Part #s in build 1 wiring harness section.


Speedometer Buffer Conversion Circuit (the input signal to the Fiero speedometer is incompatible with the 4t65e-HD transmission Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) output signal):
http://www.gmtuners.com/fiero/fmods.htm
NOTE: YOU MAY PURCHASE ONE OF THESE HERE: https://reddevilriver.com/h...peedo-buffer-circuit


External Transmission Range Selector Switch for a 4t60/4t65/4t65e-hd transmission:
NOTE: You will need to purchase one of these and put it on your gear selector if you did not buy a GTP. You may also need the connector for it, available at Rockauto. See above build 1 Parts List.


OBDII Connector Pinout:
NOTE: The 3800sc Fiero only uses the "VPW" configuration on pins 2, 4, 5, and 16. Connect C1 (Blue) connector pin 59 to pin 2 on the OBDII connector


Optional: 3800 Electronic Cruise Control (can instead rig up the factory Fiero vacuum cruise to work by getting rid of the vacuum accumulator coffee can and plugging the vacuum line directly into the vacuum port on top of the supercharger, then see the Assembly Diagrams Section for mounting the cruise cable)
NOTE: See cruise diagram here if you did not have cruise from the factory: http://www.gmtuners.com/fil...ise_elect_cruise.pdf
NOTE: See alternative cruise diagram here: http://www.gmtuners.com/files/electcrz.zip

Stock Fiero C203 Connector under center console


C203 and C500 connector pinouts, courtesy of http://www.gmtuners.com/files/index.htm


Optional: Fuel Pump Hot Wire, for supplying slightly more voltage to your fuel pump in high performance applications - http://www.gmtuners.com/fiero/hot_wire.htm
NOTE: If you bypass Pin B on the C203 Connector to hotwire in this way, you can re-use this wire on Pin B to permanently power the OBDII connector above.
NOTE: See build 2 for a much more in-depth hot wire.
NOTE: This diagram is much simpler than it looks. Just wire the relay pin 87 directly to the battery, the pump + directly to the relay pin 30, and pin 3 on C2 connector (Clear) to relay pin 86.

--------------------------------REMOVING AND PORTING CYLINDER HEADS-----------------------------
Video: How to disassemble cylinder heads with a valve spring compressor:
NOTE: You should drop your cylinder heads off at a machine shop, detailed later in this post. BE CAREFUL WITH THE CYLINDER HEAD DECK SURFACE. DO NOT SCRATCH THE BOTTOM OF THE HEADS. PLACE ON A LINT FREE CLOTH AND DO NOT PUT THEM ON THE GROUND OR A HARD SURFACE UNLESS YOU INTEND TO DECK THEM.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...kff2RlPWB_O&index=40


PREFACE: According to INTENSE Racing, stock cylinder heads will out-flow ANY M90 supercharged 3800 engine setup. There is virtually NO NEED to modify cylinder heads, UNLESS YOU RUN LIFT HIGHER THAN 0.525" intake/0.528" exhaust, DETEAILED BELOW.

NOTE: I would NOT attempt performing ANY of this at home. Take your cylinder heads to a machine shop. That being said, below is a collection of information about porting 3800 cylinder heads.

Here are the instructions I supplied a machine shop for porting my cylinder heads:
NOTE: Over 0.525" intake lift and 0.528" exhaust lift REQUIRES machining down valve guides. See this spreadsheet for required valve guide machining calculations - https://docs.google.com/spr...9-IzNmsOLhx3s6Z5IcjQ
NOTE: Assuming you have 1.65 rockers and not the stock 1.6 rockers
1. Machine 0.060" off top of intake valve guides to support XPZ Camshaft lift.
a. 1.65 rocker arm * 0.35375 XPZ camshaft intake lift = 0.5836875‬" total lift. Stock intake lift max is 0.525" (measure for yourself?) before intake valve runs into valve guide with stock retainers. 0.5836875"-0.525" = 0.0586875". Therefore, cut down top of valve guide by 0.060" to be safe.
2. Machine 0.030" off top of exhaust valve guides
a. 1.65 rocker arm * 0.335 XPZ camshaft exhaust lift = 0.55275" total lift. Stock exhaust lift max is 0.528" (measure for yourself?) before exhaust valve runs into valve guide with stock retainers. 0.55275"-0.528"= 0.02475". Therefore, cut down top of valve guide by 0.030" to be safe.
NOTE: LS Retainers add about 0.005" clearance, meaning max lift would be 0.530" intake / 0.533" exhaust, but to be safe this is not accounted for in my calculations.
3. Redrill and replace valve guides with Bronze oil lite guides (optional)
4. Valve job
a. widen valve seats for 1.83" intake valves (stock series 3 size; stock series 2 is 1.80"), 1.52" exhaust
b. Replace seats with hardened seats at custom 3 angle cut.
c. Back-cut valves with same 3 angle cut. Lap valves if necessary.
d. If not replacing seats with hardened seats, don't grind seat, but grind right up to it, without touching it, to maintain factory hardened seat.
5. Blend bowl smooth - remove casting mark and lips on radius
a. Street/strip port, Polish combustion chambers
b. Smooth short side radius
c. Don't drop port floor
6. Gasket Match Intake runners and Lower Intake Manifold
a. Don't gasket match exhaust. Keep the D-shape of exhaust ports (can widen a bit)
b. Polish runners
c. Blend in short side of intake
d. Be careful not to grind through walls.
7. Deck head surfaces and record thickness decked by. Need at least 50 Roughness Average (RA) on deck surface to properly seal Cometic Head Gaskets.

In addition to porting cylinder heads, on the engine block, measure each cylinder “out of hole” clearance, or the amount which a piston sticks out above the block deck when the crankshaft is at top dead center. Stock piston height should be between 0.012” to 0.025”. If the out of hole measurements for each piston are significantly different than one another, then consider decking the block. At this point, you will need to disassemble the bottom end. If re-using stock bottom end parts, keep every bolt/bearing/rod/piston/journal/cylinder matched with where it came from, including direction. Consider getting the engine inspected and blueprinted, the crankshaft ground, the rods conditioned, the rotating assembly balanced, having new oversized bearings installed afterwards, honing cylinders, and replacing piston rings with correct gap for your boost. Detailed in the next section.

This is how to properly tear down the bottom end which is not covered in this guide. Here are the instructions I would provide a machine shop with for working with the bottom-end:
If the rotating assembly is in good shape, re-use all factory items and don't recondition.
1. Measure if block needs decked. .003" out of flat and 50 microinch RA surface or more required for decking. If not leave it. If so, deck block/heads and continue.
2. Disassemble pistons/rods.
3. Keep rods, rod bolts, rod bearings, crank bearings, and journals, etc matched to each other.
4. Clean pistons and rings with oil based solvent.
5. Check rings. Leave stock rings and don't hone if rings are OK. If rings are seized:
a. Replace rings (oversized?)
b. Gap rings. Adjust gap for 12-14.5 psi roots style supercharger boost (350 deg. Max)
c. Hone cylinder bores.
d. Oil and install pistons and rings.
6. Measure rods/bearings. If good, leave stock. If rods are worn:
a. Recondition rods, bore and find matched bearings (oversized?)
b. Clean rod bearing seats with alcohol
c. Oil inside of bearings but not in seat, work in oil to crank
d. Assemble rods to torque spec with matched bolts
e. Measure play (plastigauge) to verify correct size bearing
f. Also do replace crank bearings (below).
7. Measure crank bearings for wear
a. If crank or rod bearings worn, replace with new bearings (oversize?)
b. Plastigauge new bearings once torqued and seated to verify correct size
c. Clean main seats with alcohol.
d. Oil inside of bearings, torque mains down and rotate crank with oil in inside of bearings.
8. Measure main seats. If round, leave. If out of round:
a. Re-bore mains. Select appropriate bearings
9. Measure crank journals. If out of round:
a. Machine journal to round
b. Replace bearings (oversized?)
10. Measure crankshaft thrust bearing play. Recondition if necessary
11. Check assembly for balance
a. If out of balance for 6,700RPM, then re-balance rotating assembly
i. Flexplate
ii. Torque Converter
iii. Crank
iv. Pistons
12. Replace front and rear main seals and covers, reinstall everything and torque

-----------MEASURING PUSHROD LENGTH WITH A PUSHROD LENGTH CHECKER------------
NOTE: This applies to engines with non-adjustable rocker arms:
Buy the pushrod length checker here - https://ebay.us/UXqjf3
1 - have your heads and head gasket on and torqued to spec, and valves/springs, camshaft and lifters installed
2 - put the length checker on a valve lifter through the hole in the head.
3 - Rotate the crankshaft with a 24mm socket and wrench, while pushing the pushrod length checker firmly down firmly to ensure that the lifter is making contact with the camshaft lobe, until the lifter is at its lowest point (when it is contacting the base circle on the camshaft).
4 - Bolt on the rocker arm and its pedestal until it is snug. do not over torque.
5 - unscrew the length checker until it makes firm contact with the rocker arm and has no play at all in it. make sure it is seated in the rocker arm cup and not binding on something else!
6 - take the rocker arm off and take the pushrod length checker out. measure the pushrod length checker on a caliper from end to end, careful not to twist it and change its length.
7 - repeat steps 2-6 several times on both heads for both intake valves and exhaust valves. Record each value and take and average for both intake and exhaust. EXHAUST AND INTAKE CAN BE DIFFERENT, DEPENDING ON YOUR CAMSHAFT!!!
8 - add the half of the lifter "squish," or the amount that the lifter preloads to each of your measured lengths. I am not sure what half of your squish/preload length is, but it will probably be between .025" and .075". Call the manufacturer for info or look up the specs.
9 - find a pushrod that is closest in length to your intake and exhaust pushrod measurement calculation and order them. I would advise getting a pushrod of no different length within 0.010" from your measurements if you can find one. As far as pushrod diameter goes, that is up to you. I run two different ones: One is a 3/8" thickness and the other is a 11/32" thickness, because that is what sizes i could find the right lengths for. You want a good balance of strength and lightweight pushrods, depending on how aggressive your camshaft is. You can't go wrong with anything ZZP sells although expensive:
https://zzperformance.com/p.../zzp-custom-pushrods
keep in mind that stock pushrod length is 7.029" if that is closer to your measurements than a 7.000" or a 7.050" pushrod. Do NOT re-use pushrods if you are changing your rockers. If you plan on keeping your stock rockers/pushrods/lifters, make sure to keep them matched to each other and each cylinder, to keep each with its respective wear patterns, and mark which direction the pushrod went. If you change ANY part (cam/lifters/pushrods/rockers), buy all new parts. Stock pushrods are 11/32" thick for a 3800.

Thanks Austin: lots of good information here. Everybody's swap is different, so the more info we get the more options we have to choose from and the better decisions we make. The electrical diagrams you posted are especially helpful, as are your videos on youtube.
thanks again

I'm the original owner of a white ' 84 2M4 purchased Dec 10, 1983 from Pontiac. Always garaged, no rust, 4-wheel drifts are fun! 3800 SC swap to come!

How did it turn out?

Amazing post and lots of valuable information here. Thanks for documenting your swap and all the information so well!

It’s not like I am an expert but the crank becomes positive so I believe the flow will be opposite of your explanation.

Air through the PCV valve can only travel the direction shown. Intake vacuum sucks air directly into the blower through the PCV from the crank case.

quote Originally posted by AustinH: Hey Dime. I honestly picked up my Gen V + the two series III heads + the Lower Intake Manifold for $150 total... maybe got lucky. The hype online is that a ported Gen III blower is equal airflow to a Gen V blower. I think that the 13% less HP parasitic and 15% less heat would remain with the Gen V blower however. Here are the exact numbers from Eaton found here: http://www.grandprixforums....en-five-gen-5-a.html The 90-cubic inch Gen V supercharger is very compact. Its housing includes the throttle-body adaptor, crankcase ventilation plumbing, coolant passages, the evaporative emissions purge valve and the rotor drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is sealed and permanently lubricated, obviating the need for oil connections and eliminating a potential source of leaks. Moreover, the Gen V features all-cast components and a larger, low-restriction outlet port. The tuned inlet port is also less restrictive, compared to previous-generation superchargers, allowing a larger (75 millimeter) throttle body. As a result, more air is pumped by the supercharger through the Series III’s induction system. The Gen V’s rotor is finished with Abraidbable Powder Coating (APC) rather than epoxy. APC is a patented material containing graphite that is electrostatically applied to the rotor and baked on. As a result, the rotor requires less clearance within the supercharger housing, resulting in less leakage around its edges, greater airflow at a given operating speed and lower operating temperature. The Gen V’s rotor bearings have been enlarged to increase durability and reduce operating noise and vibration. As a result, the Gen V operates at considerably higher efficiency than its predecessors. At wide open throttle, the Gen V turns at 700 fewer rpm (a 9 percent reduction), draws 13 percent less power from the crankshaft, decreases operating temperature 15 percent and increases volumetric efficiency 9 percent. For the customer, that means a 9 percent increase in horsepower (see product specifications), and best- in-class acceleration times for the Grand Prix.

Ha. Makes it an easy decision when a deal like that falls into your lap....

You are doing FINE work, so keep it(the work), the posts, and vids on youtube coming. I'm sure I'm not the only one taking it all in.

How are you doing the computer? We are looking at hptuners and efilive for a programmer for our sc gtp swap into an 85 Fiero.

I would recommend that the OP use HP Tuners to tweak the program as there is a long history with that software. It takes a while to learn how to use editing software but if you add any mods, having it is essential.

Thanks! The above post is correct, I have a friend with HPTuners. James L Brown (who manufactures 3800sc swap harnesses) also programs the PCM for you.
