They're crappy polaroids, but they show turbo positioning etc

Wow, a lot of custom fabrication. Can't wait to see video of it at the track...!
What are you running for a transaxle?

looks like a lot of work envolved... Just had one question.. How's the upper intake going to fit under the trunk?

Serious about performance
You must be a dedicated masochist :) And I thought the SyTy might be hard to work on!!! "Holy Smokes"

I must admit your project seems very cool, can't wait to hear your timeslips.

Are you going to fab a reverse hood scoop to force feed it high pressure air? What about cooling? Intercoolers, etc?

Kewl!!!

Yeah, when I did the longitudinally mounted V8 in my Fiero, just did a low profile hood scoop mounted backwards on my rear deck. Worked out great.

That is gonna be one hell of a car! :eek:

man what a response !

Time Slip Before Turbo

Transaxel is a 5 speed Muncie/Getrag from a 87 Cav. V6

The old CPI intake was acutally a tighter fit

I'm going to use the stock intercooler, but in a different location, and I might rework it to change the inlet to 2.5 id and pointing in a different direction

the old mustang hood scoop is a popular mod, but "it's been done" so I'm trying to avoid a scoop altogether and might go with some vents

Also I'm looking at playing around with Programmer to compensate for the different from stock turbo and the vortec cam and heads

I was looking at your sig.
I have the same turbo on my truck, man it spools fast with the .58 exhaust housing and stock converter. In another week I will put the .69 exhaust housing on and see if it will still spool.
Good luck!
And I have stock heads and cam!

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Do V8 Fieros really do wheelies pretty easy. I heard they do but have never seen it done.
If it doesn't work out you could call the car Fiasco.

Yeah, they lift pretty easily. Hell, there's NO weight in the front at all. Sucks when you try to turn in a skid....... 100% understeer. :eek:

I like seeing this stuff because I went from my 5 Fieros to the Typhoon. Nice to see the paths cross with this project ::thumbsup::
