3.4l DOHC engine rebuild and turbo upgrade
(General Fiero Chat - by Matt Hawkins, started: 03-31-2011, last post: 2017-12-18 11:57:29 CET)
Well the Fiero has been together for about 7 years/60k miles now and needs a refresh. I scored a new crate engine on Ebay for $300. It just needs my better pistons and bottom end bolts from the current engine. While tearing down the old engine, I discovered the timing chain guide disintegrated...

Pressure plate question
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 03-11-2006, last post: 2006-08-11 13:08:04 CEST)
Are the pressure plates for 4-spd and Getrag 5-spds the same? They appear to be and I was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

For those of you who have completed the DOHC swap, how did you plumb the coolant lines? Both the heater core and radiator. Thanks.Matt86 GT, 5-spd87 GT, 5-spd DOHC Turbo - in progress

Will a late model aluminum pan fit?
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 05-24-2003, last post: 2004-02-23 13:41:28 CET)
I am interested in using the aluminum oil pan from a later 60 degree V6. Is there anything that would keep this from bolting up? My exhaust doesn't cross under the car, so the only thing that I could think of that would interfere is the front engine mount. Is the bolt pattern different? Anyone...

Axle length for extension tube?
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 06-08-2003, last post: 2004-02-23 13:40:25 CET)
So I have put almost 4000 miles on my 3.4l DOHC turbo swap with a Torsen diff installed. As some know, I did a 2000 mile trip for the HotRod Power Tour with no problems. The next day after returning on my way to work, the passenger side axle popped out. I have since taken the axle out and...

I keep breaking axles....
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 05-06-2003, last post: 2003-08-19 11:57:13 CEST)
I keep breaking the driver side axle on my turbo 3.4l DOHC. I am using the 282 5-speed equipped with a Torsen. I am up to three so far. The first one was the inner CV. I chalked this one up to the ball cage joint that should have been a tripod. The next two have been broken axle shafts. Both...

Getrag/Muncie Failure Analysis
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 04-28-2009, last post: 2012-01-11 09:58:32 CET)
I have been soul searching as to why I keep failing my transmissions. The easy answer is too much power, but I am getting tired of replacing the transmission. I am far too good at getting the case apart. A skill I never wished to obtain!We all know that history has shown that worn diff bearing...

Another one bites the dust (Getrag)
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 06-23-2008, last post: 2010-04-21 09:20:32 CEST)
Well I had another Getrag failure. This one was unique from the others. I was rolling along in 2nd gear going ~20 MPH. I rolled into the throttle and the car starting building boost. Near peak torque, 2nd gear just let go. Sounds like is sheared the teeth off of gear. I coasted off Woodward...

Broken Getrag at Dragstrip
(Archive: TD&Q - by Matt Hawkins, started: 09-16-2004, last post: 2005-01-19 11:10:05 CET)
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I broke the Getrag in my turbo 3.4l DOHC car at the dragstrip tonight. I was trying to launch the car hard and apparently I did. I don't know the extent of the damage, but I know the diff let go for sure. The VSS was hanging down on the ground! ...
