I think that heat shield is a good idea. Not for the heat though. I bet that shield would keep a lot of road crap off the filter making cleanings less frequent.
Does the BOV need some adjustment or does that style just flutter like that? Build looks great! I like the air bleed on the IC.
There is no adjustment on the BOV. I have a new spring to put in. Right now it stays open at idle. I think it sounds like that because of the way I was moving the gas pedal. My feet kept wanting to shift like a manual. I've never driven an auto fiero before.
So the car will only make maybe 1psi of boost on the brake before it starts to push the front tires. With antilag it will make at least 12psi, maybe more. It wasn't even trying to push the tires. Did a bit of tuning tonight. It feels pretty fast on 14psi.

about the same as mine, but Justin doesnt really know how to push it and he wouldnt let me drive it. I expect it could make 2 psi without it... but full boost comes in at 4500 or so anyway so its enough lag to stay on the threshold of traction in this 20 degree weather. Antilag in the summer will be enough to smoke the drag radials from a stop... so I dont really know why anyone cares what "no antilag" does.

I would like to know the ACTUAL stall RPM of the TQ converter in a FIERO. So I can make my decisions on real world performance data rather than spec sheets.

I didn't pay attention. Next time I'm driving it i'll see what it does.
Having a problem with the TCC lock up right now. At cruise the rpm fluctuates up and down. Any ideas?

My car did the same thing after I got it on the road years back with the 3K stall. It was in the tune as it was tuned out. Of course I have no clue what was changed but that will give u a start.

I have said it a BILLION times... Even if you could stall at 4000 rpms it isnt going to create insane crazy spool.
Correct, I used the wrong term what I was meaning was boost threshold RPM.
I am still trying to decide if I should keep the stock converter or go with the 3K stall.
I ASSUMED a higher stall, .68AR housing, and better flowing heads would give me ~3psi at the line.
Right NOW I can't get any PSI at the line. I may go for better brake pads too.
I really don't want 10+PSI at the line as I DO NOT want to break my stock trans.
Can you limit the PSI with anti lag? I had the dual stage boost controller but sold it to Formula so that option is out....
A boost controller is still not going to "limit" launching boost, you can only set boost as low as your base spring pressure (usually at least 10). Antilag builds pretty slow so if you just go when you want to you can "launch" on whatever you want to launch on. With a stock converter it will probably march up at 1psi per second or so... This car goes from 0-10 in about 1.5 seconds.

I assume the TCC settings. Do you have higher line pressure on cruise tables?

Is it still doing it after the mini tuning session we had? I though it was driving better but I don't think the tune completely fixed the issue. I know you were throwing trans errors but I am NOT sure what was causing them. I'm sure I can figure it out IF I can play around with the various settings and see how they respond.

I've read on a few forums to get worse brake pads, the racing ones need heated up to work properly. The cheap ones work better at colder temps (like at the drag strip). I've never tested this but it makes sense, I always see the shiny racing ones and get those

Anti-lag sure solves the lag problem but "HOW" it works makes me feel uneasy. I guess I just need to man up....LOL

I had something similar on my mustang. Instead of negative timing it cut spark completely. It acted more like launch control though because it was supercharged (but people say they build boost off the line with a turbo using them).
It was neat because it would also cut spark in between shifts (it was a standard) so that it pretty much cut torque and you could no lift shift without killing the transmission. It was called the n2mb box. Lots of mustang people use them.
