3900 swap into Fiero

[Joseph Upson]

That looks fantastic!

I didn't think those t25's (m24's) would support that kind of HP. I traded a pair in need of rebuilding for some 3400 top end parts, and ended up going to a 3500. I'm looking to get 500hp from the new build, and am unsure to use twins or not.

Keep us posted on the progress , me likey.

They're T3s and bigger than the T25 which the Turbo Grand Prix used, although the compressor and turbine combo maybe the same ratio wise.

The pics could be decieving, but they look identical to my old ones. I'm fimiliar with both the T25's and T3's, perhaps it's the comp housing flanges being so similar. The ones I had were from a Mitsu, but were used in a 300zx. All the T3's I have seen had the aftermarket-style comp housings.

The Turbo Mustang, Thunderbird, and Mercury Merkur have a unique compressor housing not unlike the unique turbine housing used on the T3 found in the early Chrysler cars. There is a metal extension for the inlet and outlet that bolts to the compressor housing so yes the the inlet looks like that found on the T25 for that reason.

Turbo Grand Prix code and 730 ECM, as for the VVT, reground camshaft locked in straight up position via aluminum rods blocking the cam actuator internally. I accidently deleted the pictures of the modification from my camera after I installed the cam.

It's getting closer, there are so many little things that need to be done and that's what's slowing me down. I have the oil filter relocation mount to find a home for, I have to buy some more clamps, finish connecting the coolant hose to the turbos hook up the returnless fuel setup, connect the hydraulic line to the transmission, change the end on the A/C compressor hose so that the new style compressor can be connected to the system, install the crank sensor after I modify the spacer, the axles need to be assembled and that's all I care to think of now. I'm ready for it to be finished. Initial cranking attempt is a long shot for this weekend.

You want me to do the slideshow thing again for you?

Looking good though!

I'm so out of it I haven't tried it, I don't think I've even seen it yet, busy trying to determine whether I'm darker because of excessive sun exposure or dirt.

[bszopi]

From my experiences, I'd say a combination of both!

I would! That worked quite nice.

Okay, finally figured out how to at least view the Gallery and then discovered that clicking on what use to be the folder with pictures automatically opens up as the Gallery. Thanks bszopi.
