added a 3" down pipe
relocated the wastegate and added the 1.5" downpipe for it
cleaned up the turbo to intake piping
added the water/alky nozzel

Hell yeah, looks good. Did the Cyclone intake bolt right up?? or did you have to do some modifications?? At first I thought that was an entire engine from a Cyclone. Any significant differences??

Nice build..... I drove the infamous shaun41178's turbo formula 2 weeks ago... the ****** boogied..I can only imagine a 4.3.
Nice to see another Fiero owner who isn't interested in car shows and polishing paint.

update
when I relocated the turbo I knew the range shifter cable bracket that
also holds the clutch slave cylinder was going to have to be massaged
I cut horizontaly then met that cut with a vertical one efectivly making
a 90* slice. I moved the cable portion bake about an inch and lowered it
about a 1/4 then rotated it clockwise a few degresss. I drilled and tapped
for a 3/8 bolt to lock it in place for mocking up. My welder guy told me
cast aluminum is a bitch to weld with out warpage and pores opening up
and made some suggestions about V grooving it for a better result.
the first few shots are "as is from the welder" the installed pics are after
I filed and sanded it a little.

and pretty much fabricated all the mounts etc
the engine is a '95 L35 CPI engine
base hp is 200 @ 4600
base torque is 260 @ 3500
to that i added the Syclone intake etc
the base Syclone engine makes about 170 hp (no turbo) and about 300 with turbo
