Title: What's in my old SE now?
Post by: TopNotch on November 29, 2019, 04:42:23 pm
Beneath this Fiero intake and heads lies a '96 Lumina 3.4, bored out to 3.6, and turboed, making 300 HP.

I see what looks like a turbo.

Very nice!  What was the overbore?

Very nice. That is the one your brother has now right?

Nicely done.

I'm amazed the stock intake doesn't have to be opened up more to get that much HP.

I have to admit that, when I first saw this topic, I was expecting Fierofool's yellow '86.

No engine has been found for it, yet.  Still sitting at Scott's.

Sad.  My 50K 2.8 V6 with no issues was left to rot, a few hours away from TopNotch's brothers.

I know where there is an 18K 2.8 V6, though.

Where and how much?

It is in the yard in Vegas.  Rodney had it previously, I believe.  You could ask sardonyx247.  I think there are 5 or 6 engines in the yard there.

I wouldn't pay more than $50 for it, but shipping would probably be a killer.

Where is the 2.8 and how much?

See my previous post.  That's about all I know about it.

Yes it is. He had it running just fine, but it seems to have developed a head gasket leak. He had stacked head gaskets to reduce the compression ratio as per the book "High Performance Fieros".

How similar is the '96 Lumina 3.4 to the '93-'95 Camarobird 3.4?
Title: Re: What's in my old SE now?
Post by: scottb on December 01, 2019, 07:47:46 pm
Its not, the 3400 is aluminum heads, fwd block, different ecm and fuel injection system. Camarobird 3.4 is iron block and the same heads as the 2.8

That's what I thought, but had never seen one with the Fiero intake on it, previously.

Interesting... When they swapped in the Lumina 3.4 engine with the Fiero heads, which pistons did they use? If they retained the Lumina pistons with the Fiero heads, the result probably would have yielded ~7.5:1 compression. Probably would have been perfect for the turbo, even without the stacked head gaskets.

I had wondered what would have happened with 92 octane, without the stacked gaskets.

Did your brother get this sorted?
