thank you sir. I have to admit... I have had a great time sharing this build on here. I have shared builds of other cars on other forums related to that car over the years and there is always some that trash it and give me beef forgetting that at the end of the day... its just a car and its... my car lolol so I truly appreciate how positive you have all been. I actually get excited to make my posts on here... thank you!!!
no, but that one mirrors the build I'm doing. the fiero I have is about 400bhp to 420bhp. Its not road ready yet, but I'll post up some pics of the engine so you guys can get a good look at them up close.
oh boy this is going to be crazy are you putting a turbo on it to
I would love to offer to help but I haven't found the time to even work on my own yet LOL now that I found out that i can have the ECU tuned locally its motivated me a little to get moving on my supercharger install ... but not enough to start it yet haha
purchased a motorcycle a few months back so that has been keeping me occupied
Not to mention your stock engine is worth about $6,500-$8,500 depending on mileage.
really... well thats cool.
123k, no oil leaks(thanks to lupue and the spark plug tubes) ice cold a/c, runs great with no issues ... if anyone is interested lol

no turbo, just the supercharger. With turbo and aluminum heads these motors can achieve 500+hp but i want to keep it dependable and not have to replace rods and stuff
enjoy that bike but dont forget our cruises lol you and scooby need to hear my exhaust now plus i have a couple more people who want to join us.

Thanks for sharing with us.
thank you. Ya i am to lol this will be very interesting to see how it turns out. In my mind if this works... sickest 996 porsche on the planet lolol well at least in my town lol with the looks plus the speed.. it will be my dream car.
"I have no idea yet as this motor has never been swapped into a Porsche. I've looked everywhere and I cant find one... if you do, don't burst my bubble lol "
No, I have no idea - my questions were just that (questions, no answers)... It looks like you've got plan! If it follows the same route as your body work I'm sure you'll be successful! Good luck
Nothing special, just a quick update. I picked up my rear seats the other day from the upholstery shop.... came out pretty decent I thought.
I also have one head completely ported bowls, intake, and exhaust and working on the other now. I'm hogging them out as much I can... I want this motor to flow and have neck snapping throttle response. After that I will polish them up and send them off to the machine shop for a valve job and re-assembly with all the new valves, springs, rockers, etc. Cant wait to see the motor all done and painted up to match the car
In a week or so I'll post up pics of the interior. I ordered some fun stuff for it and excited to see it all put back together. its hard to restrain going all out with the color, once you get a color on there and start changing things inside its so easy to say "that would look good green, and that also, and oh ya that to" lol so I'm really trying to no go over the top and just keep the green as an accent and not the main color for the interior.
