Love the video.....my computer was already performance program...the engine is out and I’m going with a turbo with a 3000 torc converter and 60 pound injectors....it’s hard to find E85 gas so I’m stuck at using 60 pound injectors.....the fuel pressure regulator will probably be just as good as having to have my computer re programmed....the PCM has already the deletes and performance shifting, and the idle and Rev limit disabled. I’m using a modified L67 intake modified with an opening like a series 3.....I’m planing on using the sandwiched intercooler and a external air iintercooler. My trunk is already cut in half....so I might put a cooling fan under the exterior intercooler core and cut a square opening in my deck lid. The turbo is pretty big” this is the reason I bought a 3000stall speed torc converter....might to a 50 shot of nitro oxide to activate on take off. To spool faster. So many choices lol. Ps with a exhaust mounted turbo there’s only 1 space to route the oil return line...it’s one of the most frustrating part of the build...the automatic transmission blocks everything.

First check out your O2 sensors (make sure the front is OK and the rear is deleted from PCM or has a dummy). Check to make sure your MAP is plugged in correctly. Same with MAF and IAT. Then check your idle air control valve and then boost bypass control valve (could try unplugging it). See if there are any engine codes. Also have your tune checked by a professional. Do you have a custom camshaft? That can cause strange idling if the PCM has not been programmed properly

@FieroAustin

2 жыл бұрын

I am not sure I can give you a perfectly accurate answer, but my gut says no. If you want more power out of a non-forced induction naturally aspirated motor, you will have to increase torque or RPM or both. Easiest way to gain power on small engines is increase RPM, but your PCM/intake/fueling would have to be heavily modified to support that (near impossible being 80s burn-in transistor tech). Instead, you can increase torque by increasing bore size or stroke, or significantly modifying how the air flows through engine in general. That will be very expensive to do on a 2.8. It comes factory with an 89mm bore x 76mm stroke. The easiest option I would say for you is get a 60° 3.4L L32 (NOT the 3800 or the DOHC) engine. It comes factory with a 92mm bore x 84mm stroke (different crankshaft). They came in 1993-1995 camaros and firebirds. It is pretty much the same engine, just bored larger, and is rumored to be a direct swap. Supposedly you can use all the same brackets, sensors, transmission bolt patterns, and wiring harness. Keep the computer/harness/sensors that came with it. It has a larger bore and thus more torque, and thus more power coming in around 160hp factory. You can slightly modify a 3.4, but honestly a 3800sc is the way to go if you want to put any time into it. Check out the 60° engine family tree here, and look for the 1993 3.4L RWD Pushrod motor compared with the 1985 or 1988 2.8L FWD motors. www.60degreev6.com/vb5/60V6FamilyTree Honestly I think you're wasting your time to pick up 20-30hp with these old 60° engines. I have a very thorough step-by-step guide for both an easy and an advanced 3800sc engine swap here. I think it would be an equal amount of work and money, and you would end up with 230-280hp at a minimum. www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/139530.html

3800 is nothing but a slightly modified 3.8L Buick v6....same as the Grand National used and thousands of other GM cars used. It is just as rebuildable as any other engine. If someone has problem with lower end it is because they did not do it right. Ring gap should stay stock for up to 400hp and not be a problem. By the way...this engine is not good for much above 6k rpm. When you start going over that too far you need to get it professionally built. Indy cars running this engine generally failed above 9k and even at 8.5k rpm were only reliable enough to barely get to end of race.

It should be mounted to the side of supercharger. There are two of them on there actually. Small black sensors. Here is what the newer style for a L32 series III you probably have looks like. repairguide.autozone.com/znetrgs/repair_guide_content/en_us/images/0996b43f/80/20/2f/84/medium/0996b43f80202f84.gif On earlier L67 series II models, there is only one MAP and it looks different. You actually only need 1 for a Fiero swap, and I think the older ones work great. Here is what the old style looks like. www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=497116&cc=1317113&pt=11207&jsn=417

@@FieroAustin nice thx I figured out that the bracket wasn't on the engine but since I'm using my 2001 fbody pcm I'll just use the map sensor from the camaro for now and if I need to upgrade to a better aftermarket one I will down the road where would the best spot to mount it any suggestions? I read one person just uses a brach of vacuum line to put it into thr system and then just tucked it away somewhere but like example I own a 03 civic ex and I did a intake manifold swap for a bigger one that flows more air I just drilled out a hole and screw hole and placed on the top middle of manifold and used rtv to complete the seal cause it had a leak at that spot at first it reads fine on the honda no idle issues or dtc

You spent some time and money to get better airflow. Such as porting your heads, having larger valves, N* TB ect. Doing those steps in a NA engine will provide more air and thus more power. But with a SC engine can this also accomplished by getting a smaller pully? I am not saying that (all things equal) that what you did would be worse, actually slightly better. But the cost and time to accomplish almost the same thing (more air) can be done with a smaller pulley if I understand it correctly.

You are right, a blower is the best source of cheap power. Without intercooling or running E85, you would be lucky to make more power under a 3.4" pulley. However I got my heads ported for $200, the N* TB/LQ4 MAF for $25, and the larger valves came with my heads. Junkyards are great. Stock heads will outflow an M90 according to intense, but it certainly can't hurt.

the smaller ports and valves will cause higher temperatures because of their restriction which will require a more docile tune so the bigger valves and ports will help higher rpms but the smaller ports and valves help the lower rpm range which actually is where the motor will spend most of it's time in a street car life.

You should never replace your tires, as they all will eventually go bad over time.

Hey, quick question, did you bolt the gen v lower intake manifold to the L67 block, and every bolt lined up?

lol I saw your facebook post about this earlier I had the gen 5 lower intake manifold and the gen 5 blower together. I also had Series III heads but I think the heads are exactly the same. If you used my build thread for build 2, it does say you need to get both the supercharger and the lower intake manifold. Good luck man, hope it works out!!!
