    1500lb car with a super-charged V6 directly over the rear wheels? Yes, please. I had a '95 Grand Prix with a 3100 in it, had to do an engine swap when the original went bad. The new one I bought only had 76k miles on it, but a couple years later I had to scrap it because the entire rear subframe was gone. It only had 91k on it when I got rid of it. I wish I never got rid of that engine, it would have fit so nice in a Fiero, even without a super charger, it would have given that little car such a boost over the Iron Duke and the 2.8. Not nearly anything close to this, but would still have been nice.

    I continue to have nothing but problems with my 2000 c5 too many to list) but the latest is the traction control/active handling/abs light is coming on constantly. Also the drivers side pop up headlight does not go up when I turn on the headlights. This has been an issue since day one. I paid twice to have it fixed. The first time they put in a new motor and the second time installed a little plastic piece that looked like a tooth (not sure what it's called). The light worked a few times but now is not popping up at all. At this point I feel like I'm putting lipstick on a pig but I've had about $6,000 worth of work done on the vehicle (including parts) and the initial purchase was 15.5 K so I feel like I have a lot of time and money invested and I won't be able to find a buyer until I take care of these basic things that any Corvette buyer would be expecting to work so......any tips??

      If your mechanically inclined, visit the Corvette forum and search your issues and stay tenacious until they're fixed. If not find a local respected Corvette specialist in your area and have them fix the problems. It is possible on a 2000 that your traction control issue will not be repairable.

He also told me the module for the traction control is not available for certain year c5s so not sure what to do about the traction control. Not that it matters but I just read my original post and I made a typo; I paid 12.5 k and have spent 4k in work so far. I want to trade the car in or sell it and I continue to see c5s that seem in pristine condition for about 24k but if I can't recoup any of my money (who's going to by a car that has that light blinking constantly?) then is the car safe to drive in your opinion?

      The atmosphere supplies about 14.7 psi of air pressure. It's not boost technically, but it's still pressure and that's why cars are a lot slower in Denver than they are and Florida at the same temperature of course.

      @Thumper68 3 дні тому

      @@Toys4Life atmospheric pressure doesn’t register on a gauge though. What your talking about is O2 air density that’s the reason why you need boost to make same power at higher elevations. Just like how it’s harder for us to breath the higher you go the less O2 is in the ambient air so it requires more total volume to get same O2.

      @Thumper68 I believe atmospheric pressure and barometric pressure are the same thing., barometric pressure measures your air pressure and You can convert it to PSI if you want. Denver is at like 12.4 #psi and Florida's like 14.7 so the air is denser with the higher pressure as they're directly related and therefore every breath of air in Florida contains more oxygen. I'm not sure what you're getting at.

We like to think of our engines needing air,fuel,spark to run but it’s really oxygen in the air that’s important. For open fire to burn you need like 16% O2 minimum obviously not the same as combustion in an engine but just for reference. The air we normally breath is around 21% at sea level the effective amount of O2 in aspen colorado is 15.4%. So the get the same amount of O2 in the engine that’s why we need boost. I mean technically the same amount of O2 is in the air it’s just not as dense or as you said as much pressure. I just hate referring to it as pressure because to our engines it’s not measurable as pressure so using density is better terminology imo.

      Speed density relies heavily upon the MAP sensor. Manifold absolute pressure. Anyway, I think we're just getting into semantics?

    2850 is damn light. Especially compared to modern “muscle” cars.

      True- but 90's Mustangs and corvettes weren't so heavy!

    Now thats how gm should of built those, you did it right ,the way it should of been ! ,the 3800 was sitting there already at gm but dah dah how about we dump in x body powertrain stuff and dont worry about the volume of cold water coming down when.thermostat pops open thats what head gaskets are made for, extreme thermal reactions. Maybe use a extra layer of cardboard and smear extra silicone on it

    hi... I just found your channel and love the 3800 Supercharged swap Fiero.. do you have any vids on the actual build? I've looked thru ur channel a bit and can't find it.

      I did most of the build before I started the channel. There's some tips and tricks videos that discuss the different parts and pieces.
