its been done 2 times according to the internet. and its going to be done a third time. 4g63
yupp. ive been lookin for something different to start on as a long term project. dont get me wrong. i mean i love my ford, but its my DD and im happy with all i have on it now. its gotten me out of ALMOST anything ive done, and then gotten some others out as well. and im keeping her for awhile longer, but i need something to occupy my time and take my time with. when i have time for my X (if i have time) i never get any more then 2 days. so ive read up and driven a few and im getting started on a 86-89 Fiero GT.
my inspiration are those oh too familiar italian supercars.
its gonna take lots of fiberglass, bondo, and styrofoam.
now for a power plant, most people swap northstar caddy V8s...or LS4s or even carbed chevy 350s...but i want more power with a smaller motor...thats why i got ahold of this:
!NOT KEEPING A TORQUE CONVERTER!
its a 6 bolt DOHC 2.0 turbo out of a '92 eclipse aka...a 4g63
now before the bashing starts lemme say these motors are capable of some SERIOUS power. and i know a guy (related to me) who squeezes some monster power out of these little 4 bangers.
we are talkin launches at 8500 RPM with 32 lbs of boost on a street drivable car with full interior, A/C and sound system.
this is what these little guys are capable of...enjoy

but for now i have my eyes set on motor that should bring 375 hp or so with about 18 to 20 lbs of boost. and i now the guy who can build it (for the family discount price!) FFWD Connections
what it should look like with some time and money:
and also what im aiming for...except maybe a different more modern supercar bumper.
if anyone has some tips or suggestions then feel free to make a post!
