Turbo 3400 Swap!!!!

[TurboGt]

I am planing on starting my swap soon. It will be installed in an 87 Fiero GT. I have a turbo, and water to air intercooler off a Typhoon on there way, and plan on getting the engine in the next week or two. As parts start coming in I will post up some pics.

According to Shaun on RFT the turbo will bolt right onto the factory 3400 down pipe. I plan to mount the turbo where the stock muffler was located.



I have a few questions:
Will the stock fuel pressure regulator work and if not where have you guys been getting one that will work from?

I am looking at getting a SPEC stage 3 clutch, is this the right one for my application? Will the throwout bearing the kit comes with work or will I need to get a different one?

As I come accross more questions I will let you guy know

Thanks for your help

what tranny are you going to be using??? the 90-92 getrag has a different sized release bearing.

if you are using the fiero tranny, get a neutral balanced flywheel (88+) or knock the weight off of your stock flywheel. then just use any clutch for a fiero.

The 3400 stock FPR won't read boost correctly so you'll need to replace that. Caspers makes an adjustable FPR with a 1:1 rising rate that will read boost. You can get it at partsforyourcar.com and a few other places.

Sharkey I am planing on getting a new flywheel, and yes I will be using the stock fiero 5 speed getrag trans.

AaronGTR thanks for the link.

ive actually jsut finished my turbo setup on my 3400 in my cavalier. first off man, your in for a treat lol. i used a tgp chip with the 22lb injectors and a cartech RRFPR. it runs alright right now, but i need to tinker with it yet... :P

Do you have a link to your build?

What size are the stock 3400 injectors? This will be my weak link untill I upgrade.

I will be running my Mega Squirt and a wide ban so I hope to have it running strong.

Are you part of the v6z24 forum? I tried to join and they wont approve me.

either of you guys have any links to the RRFPRs. I tried PFYC and had no luck finding them there. I was just going to use an adjustable FPR like this one

perhaps im just confused.

[TurboGt]

This is the one I found form the link Aaron gave me. I dont know if it has the 1:1 rise rate though.

http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PFYC&Product_Code=GA3005&Product_Count=4&Category_Code=ALUNDER

And this is the one I found: Cost $250

http://www.cartech.net/fmu2020.htm

I would like to know if the one from pfyc will work because it is almost $100 cheeper.

That's the same one that pfyc carries. They just give you the option to get the regulator only without the gauge and stuff which is why it's $40 cheaper, or you can get it with the kit for the same price. That regulator will work with boost. It's a straight 1:1 ratio though (which I prefer), not a rising rate like a vortech FMU at 5:1 or anything.


TurboGT, injectors from a 2000+ 3400 are from delphi and rated at 22.5lb/hr at 55psi. '99 and earlier 3400's had 19lb/hr bosch injectors.

[Berettaspeed]

i would go with at the least 36# injectors.

[TurboGt]

I got some 33's for dirt cheep so they will have to do for a while

[TurboGt]

Sorry I havnt had to much time to update. Here is some of the stuff I have so far:
Water to air upper and lower intercooler and high flow pump
Spec stage 3 clutch
innovative wide ban O2
Walbor 255 l/hr fuel pump
TD06 18G turbo (just finished rebuilding)
33lb injectors
3400 w/ 45K miles










I did some porting work on the Turbo and almost have the flange done
