ya ive seen those. just still feel uncertain about it. mainly just need pan gasket n a scuffing pad. but lets not get off topic from the fiero. My co worker too is building a fiero that he's been at for a while. I think he wants to put an l67 in it. Would be nice to see one of these bad boys in person.

I have never been inside a transmission before, so I will be referencing from a guide I found somewhere, I will have to re-find it and link you to it, if I am not mistaken it was by billboost...but dont quote me on that.

[JDrach]

if its the transgo shift kit im thinking off, i believe you just take out the accumulator when you drop the pan

[carl06GT]

I have heard if you increase line pressure on the trans for shifts you aren't suppose to combine that with a shift kit. Is this true or false?

im sure there would be a happy middle of the road if you tuned line pressure and used a shift kit.

upping line pressure via tune is almost the same as a shift kit. the same results are achieved.

[JDrach]

makes me wonder with the increased line press from the zzp can tuned will hurt the trans with a transgo kit

[dsmuts]

I have upped line pressure and a thrasher shift kit and it's fun

[carl06GT]

Ya its fun but how hard is it on trans parts?

[dsmuts]

Been fine for 40K miles. I'm at almost 230K now.

Wow, I just finished reading through the entire thread. Excellent project and super work on the motor! Can't wait to see it all back together and running. Aside from the Fiero, I see you have a nice GenI. Do you belong to any FZ1 Forums?? I'm over at FZ1-Forum International.



I like the exhaust and the diamond plate side covers!

[darkhorizon]

Most people that do these swamps with minor weight reduction( spare tire, etc) run about 2650 dry curb weight

My car is a bit over 3000lbs and its a base base coupe with some good weight reduction (interior/dash/front end/AC/trunk) with light wheels on it.

Assuming you weighed it with yourself, and fuel in the tank, that would fall right around what I said, I'm sure you turbo setup is an extra 100 pounds too.

Yeah I am on FZ1 forums, and that is my other baby, an 03 Gen I FZ1, I got it last spring and have put over 10,000 miles on it so far. I am debating going to a GenII, but reallllly love the new crossplane R1's. we will see what this summer brings!

GenII's are nice, R1's are even sweeter. I sold my 01' a while back and picked up and restored a 97' YZF1000R. It's a one year only sweetheart of a ride. Keep up the good work!

No.

3170 with me in it ( I am 170). Fuel was less than half tank, turbo setup is as heavy as a m90 is.

Fieros are heavy. It drives me crazy that everyone seems to think they are sub 2500lbs without issue.

[Ricky21]

Nice build!! This is one ive always wanted to do. Ive always loved fieros.

[BillBoost37]

Now that fieros are coming out as being fat little pigs, I no longer want to do one.

I would have to say that is still a solid 500+ pounds less than any standard 3.8L platform, and you all are forgetting the biggest part MID ENGINE... loss of traction at launch? Whats that?
On another note, I have been doing some remodeling in the shop, and unable to do any work on the car recently, but today after work I helped a friend of mine install a new 3" turbo-back side pipe exhaust on his 04' SRT-4. It sounds really nice! and I am not a fan of neons or dodges for that matter..
Here is the car before.



The new exhaust

Installed

Then of course a fly-by video!

[dsmuts]

That's super rice. Now it just has nothing filling the bumper?
