Re: 88 Fiero GT. Engine swap. Custom turbo build.
here is the awesome dyno graph.
Notice the correction factor. remember that turbos are not going to flow less air, because they will just spin faster and suck more low density air. The turbo wont be significantly less efficent because of the higher speed, at least not 27% less.... 10psi is 10psi no matter what atmospheric pressure you are at.

That has to be one of the worst dyno sheets ive ever seen.
Double dips in the AFR's and torque curve are for the lose. :1
A turbo honda with half the horsepower would destroy that thing with powerband. Fail.

Re: 88 Fiero GT. Engine swap. Custom turbo build.
my bone stock pile of crap 3800 swap would eat it alive... 12.2@108.
Maybe 250-260whp with alot of torque and a flat power curve.

I haven't read the thread yet, but...
Looks like a pretty cool build, but why in the hell did you use the dreaded X motor.
The 55 is sweet. I have been wanting one pretty badly again lately.

even going from that motor to a d series would be an upgrade.

I used to beat on the series 1 3800 in the toronado when running 7 psi more or less untuned. That engine would take nasty amounts of knock and lean AFRs. Fucken manifold would glow red hot in the daytime. Not as fancy as the 3.4 but tried and true. I do like the 4.6 northstar engines though.

Yes, the 3800 is probably one of the best things to ever come out of General Motors.
On the tunin side, yuou mean to tell me you couldn't have run that on a 7730 ECM with Tuner Pro RT?
Sorry, but I fail to see how the OBD2 setup is far superior when it comes to cold idle.
Whatever man. It is a pretty neat build minus the 3.4 X pile of fial. Fieros hold a specail place in my heart. They are pretty cool cars when done up right.
I have a Northstar sitting in my storage unit. One day I may attmpet to do that clusterfuck of a swap just for the challenge.
