I drove the fiero home tonight it seems to be running good i changed the coil setting from 3.1ms to 3.5ms and that seemed to help but it still wont idle i will work on that after i fix the speedometer
Hi I need some help on hooking the Tach up to the megasquirt i know there are a few that are running megasquirt with wasted spark so how do you get a tach signal i have selected iac1 as my tacho out put do i just hook that up to the tach wire or do i need to do something more?
I hate it when a company sells you something but they are out of it but don't tell you then you wait and wait and they try fooling you by printing a shipping label but 7 days after the USPS still hasn't posted it as shipped so i have opened a case against 14point7. Just send me my parts wtf
tomorrow i will test my tach signal with another tach to see if i am getting a signal then i will go from there. I still havent made the speedometer work it looks like i don't have a signal due to the light is supposed blink when you have a signal from what i understand

I have been told the transmission i have uses a reed switch so i need to put power to one side but i don't know what to do with the purple vss wire do i just ground it
Just so you know, I read your updates like every day, even though there aren't many pictures it is quick and easy to read through everything since you post a little update like everyday.
I am looking forward to seeing this completed! I also have some MS questions I might PM you about.
Well i got the new fuel pump relay hooked up with 30 amp circuit breaker so the problem of eating stock relay is over . I see Dakota Digital makes a GPS speedometer interface and it has both sine wave and square wave output signal so when i can afford one i will buy one and solve that problem.
well tomorrow i will check the O2 accuracy just to make sure it is perfect then i can start tunning . I cant wait to go to the drag strip just to see what it will do
Thanks it looks better than it really is it is going to need paint and like i said the wires need a bit of untangling and i need a coolant expansion / fill tank so i can get rid of the coolant hose going over the top of the engine you know just a bunch of small things
Had good weather today been driving the car and i got the windows all rewired now i am going to do some more bracing on the cradle tomorrow then i will start working on getting the new nose i bought for the car a few years back on . maybe some day this thread will be in the construction zone
Well i consider this engine swap a complete success sure it is not the fastest 1/4 mile car but it runs good and pulls hard up through the rpm's sounds great and the engine looks like it belongs there . i say to any one who wants to do this swap they should and if you want more power you can go with a turbo or a S8 40 valve engine .

I just moded the Porsche shifter it was straight on the sift knob rod unlike the fieros that bends so i cut it down and cut off a Fiero shift knob rod and welded it on now it sits in a better place when shifting the only other thing i would like is if the throws where shorter i may mod that to

today i worked on the exhaust getting it so the tips sat in same place and put hangers on now it looks good . I was chased down today by a guy who had a V8 fiero some years back he said he missed his Fiero then i showed him the Audi V8 and explained why i used it .
today i took the car for a ride and hooked the laptop up and ran EFI Analytics TunerStudio analyzer live this tunes the car while driving .while i was diving i felt a brake dragging so i checked it out by putting my hand near each brake rotor and found the right front hot so i know that brake is dragging i am not sure why it is dragging but i will check out tomorrow
