Really just looking for spindle possibilities. But to have vision alone leaves the process idle. Ergo, without action your thoughts are worthless.Got around to welding in a panel to hold the fuse box. Here is something from Wikipedia I am also a lot more comfortable working on 4 cylinders. The suspension has worked great this year, only one small thing to fix over the winter.

The pro version is the one that can modify setting on the fly for 650$. Tried Ford and the newest Camaro but no bare suspension pics.

I don't know how accurate they are. What are your thots about going this route? Using the 350 lb springs means only about 1/2" of preload to get to ride height so I did not bother trying the 450's.

One rear lower control arm has developed a bit of fore and aft slop because I did not get a smooth cut on one of the bushings causing wear on the rear delrin washer. mine is the 86 gt eco powered car, weighed at the 30th. It weighs about 370 lbs, has 200hp and will bolt up to a Fiero transaxle.

i have noticed that the LE5 motor is available cheaply in the scrap yards, with the 5 speed tranny and superchargers for the ecotec run about 250. As you will see some of the weights are surprising but I have to assume they are accurate. All parts needed to replace the in tank pump on Fiero. I have always figured I was saving a 100 lbs by going to a 2.2 ecotec instead of my old 2.8. This is one of many threads dealing with engine weights. Made an improvement to the interiour by getting a different steering wheel. (See my thread for more information).

Apparently the LE5 motor can be supercharged to around 250hp before major engine mods need to be done, due to the rods used in the motor.

Could be California legal ! While I had the car up on the hoist, I took a bunch of pictures of the underside showing some of the stuff I have done and showing stuff I want to improve upon. Gave me extra money to use for the Fiero so it went back on the road in late August. In case others out there are thinking of swapping in an L61 Ecotec, here is a snippet of information (from my swap) regarding how I resolved the Ecotec tachometer signal.

But the link does not give that info. I do not have a scale to weigh engines with but moving the ecotec around my garage on an engine stand is a piece of cake compared to a 2.8 v6. The fellow that weighed the cars had individual scales for each wheel so that is how I calculated my front rear bias.

It was sitting in an 85 but there is also an 84 there and neither had the steering wheel on.

FIERO ECOTEC 2.0 LSJ / F35 SWAP JOURNEY ( FROM ION REDLINE) (General Fiero Chat - by anaverin, started: 03-02-2019, last post: 2020-06-25 06:27:28 CEST) Well, hello forum. The early L61 ecotec electronics will not run this engine because it has a different reluctor wheel. Re: Ecotec swap « Reply #28 on: March 01, 2011, 05:25:50 pm » tuners will get used on the 3800 in my fiero, should have the suspension and brakes done by the beginning of the season, after thats done I'll start in on the motor. GM made the engine in to a cheaper version in later years without the forged internals. I did a bit of work over the last couple of days. What this does for you.. 3800SC or LS1 / LSx swap conversion fuel pump kit. Those gages look really good in your console. I also modified the Fiero sending unit using late model Suburban guts and now have a functional fuel gauge. In the case of the LE5 in general you want the older ones that were used in the Solstice/Sky or the Cobalt SS non supercharged.

Reading some bad stuff about alpha fab lately you should stay away from them. There are lots of other engine management suppliers around and engines like the LE5 can be had in wrecking yards.

i remember that you interchanged various ecotec motor parts to build the motor that you use now. ecotec swap questions (General Fiero Chat - by Fier-oh41229, started: 06-28-2013, last post: 2013-06-30 18:20:03 CEST) My brother has a grand am with a 2.4l ecotec engine. Looking to find something better soon.

Some of the v6's are listed at close to the same weight. Trying to get to the desired ride height means way too much preload and that just lessens available travel. I also got a new header. He has some nice ones for 75.00 but I got this one from a wreckers.
Thanks Will. I adapted a jeep motor mount as a front transmission mount and I welded in the top motor mount. Aside from the 3.4L this is the next easiest swap …

There is a thread on the locostusa forum about an ecotec powered Volvo P1800.


I will drive it until the snow flies, hopefully up to the middle of December.

Your only limitations are set from within, by a lack of vision.

Even any fuel pump you buy today has the updated connector style, but the connector does not come with the pump. It was noticeably faster than my rebuilt 2.8. The first production LE5 motor is a very good engine. I have 2 other sets of springs in the garage, 350lb by 10" and 450 lb by 9". The differences in power levels were mostly due to the exhaust systems used in the various platforms.

Yes that is the thread. That will guarantee you get the forged crank and connecting rods.

I wasn't intending to drive the Fiero this year mostly because of insurance costs but I took my youngest son's car off my insurance because he is out of the country on an exchange for school till January. this makes working on my cars fun again. I think it more beneficial to get a wide band sensor when your have boost. I also bought Hp tuners and plan to start working on the wiring next week.So still working on the final mounts.
