    If my car doesn't work out, I will definitely look for a Fiero, I always thought they were sick little cars...

    However, if my dad sees it he'll want to make it a full electric car, which could be interesting

    Plus think bout this... Diesels love boost + nos mind numbing torque and good fuel milage not enough, just flip a switch and light that candle.

    btw, that car took tons of awards for handling, mileage, endurance, AND power

    Nice job. I saw GT in your name and was like oh noes, Jon went for an unsupported platform!?!?

    I was pleased after clicking the thread.

    Good job, hope that thing comes out straight for you! L67 swappy?

    Funny, I just saw this video on another forum

    I honestly can't say that it will be all that bad with an l67, but definitely stay v6 to maintain the handling the car is meant to have.

    Still not going to stop me from trying to persuade Jon :p


    These videos were also grouped with it...

    99% sure it's going to be an L67. Still looking for a good reason to put in a 660 from John, though...

    My love cannot power the Fiero. You know my requirements: dyno #'s and total price.

    I need charts so I can see the curve. 250WHP means nothing to me if it all comes in at the last 1k RPM.
