He's in Idaho I think. This is his car, with LS4 swap done by FieroKing, and the Cartuning.ca turbo kit:

Nice car! But that isn't our member's. His is red, and has OEM Lamborghini mags. I will tell him that his car has a mechanical twin in Iowa. Here is his project thread on our website:

------------------
Silver 88 coupe, Duke with TH125C (for now)
White 88 GT, 3800 L67 with 4T65E-HD (sold)
White 91 Cadillac DeVille (winter beater and possible swap donor)

Cool! I guess that makes 3 turbo LS4 Fieros then!

Tell him to join the forum, if he's not here already.

I was unaware of that car, and the reason I used "at least". That means there are at least 3 turbo LS4's in fieros.

Say, Fieroguru, the build you described, which one of your LS4 swaps is it? The one with the stock automatic, or the one with the F40?


Its from my first LS4/F40 build.
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum3/HTML/000123.html
The engine is accented with blue, but was installed in a black 88 notchie. By Blue fastback was a SBC/Getrag car. I did the mockup of the LS4/F40 in it, but the final install was in the black car.



I had started working on 2 other LS swaps for R&D purposes.
LS/F40 #2: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/094411.html
LS4/4T65e-hd: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/094409.html
All the parts for those 2 swaps are currently in storage.
