Anyone have one of these on their fiero?

I have questions.

I run one of these superchargers on a 340 Mopar. What would you like to know about them?. It would probably be overkill on the 2.8L.

I've read about people swapping out supercharged V6's into Fieros from other vehicles. I always wondered if there was some kit, which supercharged the existing engine in the Fiero. Is that what this is?

It's a kit built for the rear wheel drive 2.8 Camaro

It's out of production now but this unit is still new

If you look closely you will see it's a small supercharger and perfectly sized for the small V6
with a 2.8 intake manifold cast by B&M for this kit
that they engineered.

I have built engines professionally for over 30 years.
I specialize in high performance and antique engines.
I machine and assemble every aspect of the engines I build and

What I'm asking for is someone that has retrofitted this kit to the transverse 2.8 in the fiero.

I would like to know about the modifications if any needed to
accommodate this unit to the car.

I'm thinking I will need to make room for the drive pulley on the chassis but would first like to talk with someone that has one on their fiero.

B&M made quite a few of these 2.8 kits and I've seen several pictures of fieros with them.

I had hoped to find someone here that has had some experience installing one

As far as I am aware, it hasn't ever been done.
You will loose the rear decklid (At least the portion that covers the engine) and probably need to trim the driver's side frame rail for the belt. With the drive offset to the rear side of the engine, it might not clear the strut tower.

Time to get out the tape measure and doing some first pass measurements to see if it has any chance of fitting w/o major surgery.
Since this blower kit and Fieros have been out for 25+ years and it never became a popular swap, there probably is a reason why...

Not sure I have seen much talk about this setup on a 2.8 Fiero. People bring up turbos most of the time and even then its rare to see a completed car with one. If you feel froggy just give it a go. However, most are going to recommend you just go a different motor all together because the time and money spent on that may not be worth it in the end. At the end of the day its your car and money, do what you want. If I had that sitting around I would probably give it a try as well.

They were used on a lot of pre 85 S10s and Camaros.
They really aren't compatible with the factory fuel injection on the fieros.

This kit came with a holley carburetor
I will eliminate the emmisions and use a holley sniper EFI instead.

They are self tuning and I've found them to be exceptional HP producers on the dyno.

I will likely build a adapter to keep the system under the hood that puts the injector body basically in the same location as the original throttle body in a sidedraft configuration.

I've done similar side mounted installs of the holley fuel injection and it worked flawlessly.

Once I've got the whole thing installed and running properly it will be removed and replaced onto a 3.4 I have waiting.

No point in putting it in until I have the induction worked out.

If anyone is interested I could easily document the installation.

Of course any one with experience installing one of these on a fiero would be welcome advice.

I believe that B&M unit has a 139 cu inch capacity. Its not as efficient as the Eaton M90 but being bigger it should put out more boost. I see no way of efficient mounting this on a stock 2.8L in a Fiero.

What sort of power have you pulled out of a 2.8 with this kit, since you have a lot of experience with it?
