I'm not bragging .... or telling anyone my numbers...
....... just really really really excited that I managed to fix everything !!!!! and I MEAN EVERYTHING.......
So, as many of you know ... I had RSM racing so a hack job on my car just under a year ago ........
They didn't install the IAT sensor (left it hanging), ran the charge piping over the master cylinder and that made it so I could run the strut bar.
you get the point.... so I won't go into serious detail......
BUT......... Today I fixed everything ...
Fiero 2.8L Screw-in IAT sensor
4 wire HEATED primary o2 Sensor
redid the charge piping
redid the oil return fitting and the oil return line
moved the oil catch can and re-routed it into the intake on the turbo
and rebuilt the turbo ( it blew the hotside oil seal because the return was too small)
ON WITH THE PICS..................
BEFORE--------------------------------
AFTER-----------------------------------
let me know what you guys think .........................................
Thanks for the input in advance.... whether it be good ..... or bad.......

looks 100% better, it just needs a good bath
congrats......so much better
Funny it resembles mine alot more now.
lol
Looks good. Shorter charge pipes are always a plus!!
ya I kinda copied you ......... now that I think about it .............
well do YOU have a heated primary o2 sensor.....
I ADVISE ANY BOOSTED J-BODY TO GET THIS MOD...............
my car used to sound like it had cams at cold start up ........
now it runs good, and is in closed loop in like 30 seconds....
WOOT

looks a lot better man, jet hot the manifold and clock that turbo
\
ken2.2 email me back!
ya the manifold is going to get ceramic coated when I get the charge pipes and turbo powder coated...........
as for clocking the turbo.....
we looked around everywhere..... just couldn't seem to free up space..... the log manifold doesn't really allow for much messing around with the turbo ....... the waste gate is in the way...............and the fan ..... mind you I could go out and get an external gate and a front mount fan .... but the return is in the way and the starter......... just too much @!#$ .......
Besides I've grown to like how it looks..... just needs a bath and a nice dress up ..... blacking out EVERYTHING ...... I mean everything ....... even the engine bay once my motor is done .......(spare)
thanks for the input !!

Please for the love of god clean your motor and paint some things or something...I dont want to have to see that engine bay again until its clean!
hahah well I seem to have got a lot of @!#$ about CLEANING the motor..... and I will do.........
but as for painting ...... I have this already .....
and the Piping is going to be the same color........... as well I'm going to ceramic coat the turbo header.
Thanks again,

So whats this talk about a heated 02 primary, cause I know when I start my car when its cold it chugs, and sounds like a huge cam too.
What are the side effects if any, CEL?
Just wait till I get my pipes redone. I swer everytime i see you car Its like looking under my hood. Dirt and all
i have a couple questions
where is your wastegate? i'm assuming your using an external gate and its below the manifold, do you have a picture of what it looks like there?
also what did it take to move your oil tube to where it is? seems like it might get really hot there would that affect anything?

I would like to know about this 02 as well, where and how much?
LOL I know. It is just Temporary for now. I wasn't concern on the look as much as the function of it. I am going to be going V band so that will all be taken care of by spring.

Wastegate is under the turbo .... Internal (like my buddy Chris said above)....
The oil tube is fine ..... doesn't affect anything ............
it was a Bitch to get there .... it's actually rigged so that under where the bottom two T3 bolts are, it attaches to there..........
KEN 2.2.........
the only side affect of the heated o2, is... and I tested this today (it was -2 degrees)
A. the car ran GREAT at start up ..... cold cold cold start up compared to summer time
B. it runs great ... hahah .......
how I ran it ..... and this is very simple.....
I found a 12v source that turns on when the car does (and stays on), spliced into it, went to the 12v on the o2, grounded it , and ran the other 2 wires (hi, and low) to there respective locations (where the stock sensor went), took about 25 minutes to do ..... and the car runs awesome. Cold start problem ... GONE......
and Chris..... we've talked about my engine bay........... it's coming ........ I'm in school studying Architecture.... final semester...... ONCE I'm done ......
OHHHHHHHH Boy..... This 2.2 is going to get crazy/ and clean.................... JUST TO IMPRESS CHRIS.............
oh Chris.... I'm sending my manifold out to fireball (joe's guy)..for ceramic coating ... Black ....
Woot
oh and I drove her today ...... nice -2 degrees outside.... let her warm up and drove her fairly hard today, the car is 100% more responsive, starts great, idles great, and sounds wicked bad, not to mention it hauls a lot more ass then it did before
I think since the computer wasn't getting a REAL intake air temp. it was running wierd.
Thanks for all the feedback ......
