Fiero 3800 Turbo Part II

[Tom]

I had a pretty long build thread on UGH about my fiero. Last year I made 1 pass and ran a 10.7@132 but I lifted. This winter I'm changing some stuff up on it.

Here was my parts list before:

DEI T4 turbo blanket
DEI header wrap
Stattama ST2 Camshaft
Rollmaster double timing chain
PAC 130# valve spings
Titanium modified retainers
Viton valve seals
Siemens Deka 60# Injectors
ZZP 4T65E (HD) Transmission with ALL the goodies
ZZP aluminum trans pan cooler
Meziere Billet Flex Plate
ZZP 245mm Torque Converter - 2750

This years updates are:

Nice to see something different. Good luck next season!

love this car. How did the 6262 spool before? What are you expecting with the new bigger turbo?
Curious as I'm currently running a 6665 turbonetics, .81 a/r

[Tom]

the 6262 spooled instantly, I want the 6466 to come in a bit softer. It should still spool quick though since e85 produces more exhaust, and this one is ball bearing.

Post some pictures!

Here is an engine pic from last year.

I've heard from the GNX crowd, as well as the 3.8 ford crowd, the 6262 will spool like a hammer. Mine is a bit laggy, but I could really use some head work.

Very cool. But post some real pics for cryin' out loud!!!

Toms Fiero is cool.

Doing some body stuff:





plastidipped it at my friends house:

My dad tried to film it at the FLDs (sorry for the quality):


vs G8 at FLDs


vs GTR(1)

(2 - his trans overheated or something)

[Tom]

vs GT500 (bad filming)

1/4 on 16psi and full exhaust (10.9@124):

Wow, so far this post is the best part of this website opening up to non-Mustangs. Cool build!

Tearing it up

[RUTHLESS]

This car is no joke guys. Tom did awesome work and it looks like he is going to push it even harder with his new build list. I can't wait to see it finished!

Just noticed that our runs are in that first vid. I want some door to door runs from you and I think with your new build we will have some. That will mean you can run door to door with that Dodge R/T.

[John4cam]

What all is needed internally for the 3.8 to withstand that kind of power? Car looks good going down the track.

[Tom]

Ruthless, your car is in the first video at about 1:20. I don't know how you get so much traction in that thing! The first race I loaded the torque converter and got decent traction and only lost by a car or 2, 2nd I tried not loading the converter and lost by a good bit, and the last one I used the anti-lag, blew the tires off and got half tracked. That, the GTR and the beetle in one day was the most fun I had at the FLDs.
