I just want to see a build list or some pics, I like the ideas and respect the amount of work your putting into these cars, but all your listing is some HP numbers and a few short vids that don't tell us anything. I would like to see what fuel system your using, what works/what didn't work or what's limiting you. If you described a bit more it wouldn't seem so unreasonable numbers you're putting up.

heads are on! mls and arp's for the ported CCH heads

94 octane, alky injection (m10 nozzle) racetronix FP and rewire, 65# injectors, my IPW was at 20ms or about 97% duty cyle IIRC,the fuel pressure was not 100% keeping up, so im going dual pump i the tank this year most likely

the cam is a 224 224 .574/.566 114lsa, it broke my stock heads 2x's as well as broke a valve spring on 1 cylinder and cracked a intense pushrod

i had a spec stage 3+ clutch, it slipped got to replacements, still slipped, went stage 4, it slipped right away aswell.
went with bully and it held for the most part until about 6300rpms so thats why i went triple disc

the car was running a 3" dp and cutout that freed up 60+whp, aswell as a custom rear manifold, front power log that cracked manyof times,

intake runners wer removed and had an hv3 at the dyno tme,


FWIW i did 403whp on 1.9s and a 2.5" downpipe on 18psi, so my numbers arent to different then an automatic,

i also own a 04 comp g tha dynoes 581whp auto (with the heads i just put on) and a larger intercooler,, aswell as the 3" downpipe,

the car isnt near as fast as my 5-speed but can launch better, but 1/4 mile would be about the same IMHO, high 10s on a decent day

damn...you break stuff lol keep it up im waiting for the new #'s

it took out one engine becuase all the oil shot out the head when it broke, ya stuff breaks, but i only ever had 1 trans failure, and i didnt put the passengeside braket attaching the trans to the engine, it didnt even last 2 days like that, so ya my mistake

Just saw this thread.... INTERESTING

the car barely has the equlivent of 70k miles on it and is on its 6th trans, 4th engine, +++ and had 8 different clutches installed in under 1k miles , the car is a slut to say the least

im just throwing this out there ,,,my guess is its not a daily driver lol

seems like the guys at the track see you coming and have the mops at the ready.

i DD this in the summer months, the car only had 1 issue last year and that was with the one head, other then that (and the trans cracking before putting it away) it was fine,

not to pry into your finances, but what this set up worth without all the stuff you broke already and how street able is it? like the current set up? sounds like a blast to drive around in.

i did the 5-speed swap in my driveway, costed me sub 1200 bucks, the car i bought cheap, turboed, i actually got in an accident with my lumina ltz that was turboed got 2500 cash for the damage, bought a montana and put the engine/ turbo setup into that, blew that transmission and sold the turbo kit for 2500,bought my 01 with 60k on it for 3k bucks turboed with a bad tcc selonid on its 2nd trans,


was about to change the trans and blew it up,shattered the input shaft, put another auto in that came with the car and it lasted 2 weeks soi said f-it nddi i hw it should have been done

also on a side note, i blew the auto in my lumina when it was turboed once aswell, so me and autos dont get along with power at all, i abuse them and the 5-speed takes it like a champ where the auto cant, even built

now:

the heads are worth $2200, clutch $3k, cam, $220 springs, headgaskets $200, 7k km l26 $600 (good deal i got), turbo kit is going to be in the 4k range in mateials alone, but i may use this other kit i have from the 04 with upgraed piping/ intercooler/ dp all custom 1 off stuff.

thats not totally out of reach. im looking to build a fast toy as you can see by now.

are you running a stock short block or do you got goodies in the lower end?

10 large to spank everyone not to bad lol

stock, i reved to 7k last year on the larger turbo (didnt dyno with the larger .ar turbo .69 on dyno, .96 afterwards)

I'd like to have some of you guy's bankrolls. Fvck. My car will never be fast

But I guess if it is good enough for the supra crowd then its good enough for us. I do hope you succeed in your build, and hopefully that clutch holds because that would be a great benefit to the fiero world. But to boast about a 700 whp build with inflated numbers is plain asinine.

well as mentioned i own a auto car that is not as fast after 50k and 581whp, so my "over inflated 584 whp" is whatever you think, but ill tell you right now, i drove the comp g for a wek(581whp) and i got bored with it.

so to summerize:
i had 584 manual, going for more
i have 581 auto, its not really fun,not bad but meh, id have more fun with 400whp manual and it would be just as quick from a roll it--- but still made awsome "non inflated" numbers so think what you want to think

trust me if i do a build like this it will be towed to the track!!! that way if it blows up im not stuck there, and im going with a auto trans, so i may not want the same hp numbers you got there but at least i now know what it would take, thanks.

so the 581 hp is working in a automatic still? it that one a turbo too?

thats more than enough hp for me.

3rd gear doesnt really hold to well, i bought the car to part it out, but there is fixes for it to hold now.
