Thread: Nebie

Hey guys newbie here from the space coast in fl.

Just got a 2002 GTP to power my fiero, and will be needing some help on modding the engine for a fun little car!

Here is a pic of said GTP (which I am parting out or selling as whole!)

Welcome, Looking forward to seeing a build thread on your fiero soon.

As for getting more stink outta that 3800, please READ this thread, there's alot of good information here:

Also, GL with the part out if you decide to go that route. These GP guys can be quite the parts vultures at times ahahahah

Thanks for the link!

I am debating on finding a gen v blower instead of modding my old one. I would also need to learn more about the n☆throttle body mod as well. I will probably start a thread over on Pennocks on the fiero, but will definitely post here on the engine aspects.

I was thinking about maybe a gen 5 swap, is this an easy thing to do and is it worth while?

Heres the old 2.8!

I wouldn't bother with a gen v unless you are going to do an all out build. the only situation I have seen where it was better was when putting a pulley smaller than a 2.6" on it.

So just keep the gen 3 and port it?

That's what I did

Uhm. I don't quite agree with that. I've been told. on numerous accounts, by numerous people with "built" GP's.... a GenV swap alone, is the equivalent to a Gen3, on a 3.4 pulley, and supporting mods.

But i'm sure, now that I've said that, i'll have people telling me that it's a lie. but it's whatever lol

Read this thread tho

I have seen no empirical evidence that a gen 5 will make more power over a gen 3. the gen 5 is more efficient, but only slightly. here is a better link that actually compares a gen 3 to a gen 5.

Thanks for the links guys! I think I may go gen V with a n* tb mod. Thoughts?

Im also looking at doing the speed daddy headers, and seems like I may be doing a cam as well.

I would just get your gen 3 ported. I have a N* on mine, but it has been a lot of hassle to get it working properly. if I was going to do it again I would get the supercharger case inlet ported to 72 mm and put a zzp HVTB on it. speed daddy headers are a good way to go, but it is a good idea to cut out the interlock flex section and weld in a shorter one. the speed daddy headers downpipe drops down a bit too low for me to be comfortable with.
