Re: K swap 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT
Funny, I have only received a few negative comments, and they were from 3800 swapped Fiero owners. Lollol The Honda community has been very receptive of the swap.

Re: K swap 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT
I am part of the 3800 community; slowly getting out. I still like to help the noobs with there issues. I am close friends with Shawn Bucklad. He knows all about what you're doing for as far as the build goes. He's got a black 3800 gen 3 swapped fiero, Hung out with him this past summer. We talked about your build hes like, "should of stuck with a 3800". I was like why. Your running consistent 12.5s when K-series wuld poop all over that 3800 motor and last longer and actually keep a trans under it without having it sent to Triple edge performance and spending 3k plus dollars. Yeah, lets just say since I picked up a ek civic 99 and I am swapping it with a K24a4 block and K20a2 head. I dont get very many likes on social media (FB) from my 3800 friends lol.. add me on facebook if you will. I don't get on here very much, plus since I just finished swapping my eg daily with a B-series. I need to watch my spending lol.

Making slow progress. I have the pass side upper head mount bracket finished and the "ears" for the frame to trans mount to be bent. I am almost finished with the mounts! Finally.

Not yet, However we are working on it. That will be in the next vid. I am debating on getting the universal k swap harness for pre 99 vehicles. Its about $300. Thats pretty cheap compared to the typical fiero L67 swap harness.

Oh its going down!! Progress is leaping forward on the K swap. Fuel system, coolant system, mounts (blah) and wiring. Did I mention I hate wiring?
For my Honda people, do you typically use -10 for the feed and -8 for the return side of the fuel lines? Do you bump up the size +2 on forced induction cars? How much HP will the stock RSX fuel filter support?
