Conan's Fiero Project: Thursday, April 01, 2010
http://conansfiero.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 1, 2010. Does anyone read this? I'll have a 3.4 liter V6 that will spin to 6000 and live. Now I hope I actually can have the engine, the junkyard might want some of the stuff back and then I might not have enough parts left to build it. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Feel free to leave a comment! Not my car, but similar. Some of the plans, obviously there are a lot more. Custom flywheel for 3800 swap. Crankshaft rebuilt or new. New rod or set. Links I Have Found Usefull.

Conan's Fiero Project: Back to the project.......
http://conansfiero.blogspot.com/2013/10/back-to-project.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. Back to the project. Big news though Megasquirt has released the MS3pro. Looks like and features resemble the sequencer they had promised a while back. Actually it's probably more powerful and feature packed than I need, but if I later change to a V-6 or V-8 I won't need to buy another ECM. Unfortunately it costs $1199 from Diyautotune.com. Ouch But it's preassembled and already loaded with software. A cheaper alternative is the Megasquirt 3 with ms3x expansion. Some of the plan...

Friday, August 27, 2010. Still Unsure Which Engine To Build. So I'm back in the internal debate of which engine to use, the 4cyl that came in the car or a 3400 v6. I guess I'll try the old pro and con list. 25 4cyl 3400 v6. Pro con pro con. 1)already have lower performance higher performance need to buy. They do a lot of 6 cyl stuff. So this didn't help me decide either. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Feel free to leave a comment! Not my car, but similar. Custom flywheel for 3800 swap.

Friday, May 21, 2010. Business has died off something terrible, I'm barely making enough money to put gas in my car to get to work. So all project work has stopped until income goes back up.

Conan's Fiero Project: Ignition coils?
http://conansfiero.blogspot.com/2014/01/ignition-coils.html
Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I want to run LS coils on my 3800, this seems to be more difficult than I had thought. On Pennock's Fiero Forum. I had asked the question if it was possible or if it had been done. The responses I received ranged from helpful to chastising. You think I was asking them to help me drown puppies. One of the posts on Pennock's forum gave me this link PCM hacking forums. Ure out what signal the 3.5 ECM would send to the coils, 12v, 5v or ground. I think. Next I checked out the Trail...

Thursday, September 2, 2010. Good turbo compression numbers. So I'm still planning on using Eagle. 625 inch long, small journal Chevy rods part number CRS6250SLW, Pistons I was planning on using are Icon IC723. But after more research I found Icon IC731. Which are for a 350 chevy with 6in rods. I also tracked down the actual specs of a Fel-pro head gasket #1015-1. It is .039 inch compressed and 4.100 inch bore. I found the specs on Jeg's. Website. So using the Engine Compression Calculator. New rod or set.

Thursday, September 9, 2010. I now have in my possession eight GM LS1 coils with brackets and harnesses. My plan is to use an ECM out of a 1994 Cavalier with a 2.2 liter engine, this decision was made because the 94 cavalier was a multi port injection setup and uses a knock sensor. Neither of which the stock Fiero ECM will understand. Cavalier 2.2 module. I really need to find someone that is good at electronics and building circuits. Hey, that's another problem. Just great.

Monday, March 15, 2010. Back to the research. Prom emulator. This thing replaces the prom in the ECM and convinces the ECM that it is a prom. It allows you to adjust the prom program while you are driving! And can be left in place as long as you would. Like I'll have to use a program like Tuner Pro RT. Or others, and I'll have to get a laptop or some other form of computer in the car, and that's where the really neet geek stuff comes in. Mini Computers. As small as the radio in a car, with a 160gb. Aweso...
