92euro Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 I have a '92 Lumina Euro and now that I seem to have the bugs worked out I was wondering if there are any worthwhile bolt-ons available, it has the 3.1 Multiport. Quote
Redfox340 Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Tons! You've just got to know where to search and what to look for. The best is to cross-reference other platforms / frames with the same motor. You should be about to find a decent amount of material with minimal online searching. Hint: Try the L-Body pages (Beretta / Corsica) since all of them want the most out of their push-rod. - RedFox340 Quote
JS91Z34 Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Yeah find yourself a turbo and put it on! Quote
mfewtrail Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 FFP has a "underdrive" crank(as in crankshaft) pulley that's proven to give ~5hp at the wheels...here's ya a link http://www.fastfwdperformance.com/ you can always make yourself a custom CAI(cold air intake) or buy one from http://www.mandsproduction.com Quote
92euro Posted June 8, 2003 Author Report Posted June 8, 2003 I saw some stuff on ebay that looked too good to be true.One chip that alters the air fuel mixture or something and another that tells the car that the air coming in is colder. The stuff is selling for less than $10 and I thought it looked somewhat jakey. Anybody have experience with these products it seemed there was at least half a dozen similar auctions. Quote

92euro Posted June 8, 2003 Author Report Posted June 8, 2003 That's pretty much what I figured, what about parts for the 2.8 RWD from the s-10 are the cams and such interchangeable? Quote

Don't believe so since those were created for more torque and lower RPM's. Personally (unless otherwise expressed) stick to the FWD 2.8L / 3.1L MPFI's and you'll be set! - RedFox340 Quote

Only the rockers Im doing will swap, as far as I know Theres a 62mm TB out there somewhere Robby Quote
92euro Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Posted June 11, 2003 Ok I'm probably looking at around 400 after tax for a decent exhaust, underdrive pulleys,performance chip and a K & N filter. Has anyone tried this? Would this be worthwhile spending or would I end up with only a few horses added? Quote
Robby1870 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Posted June 11, 2003 I think its worth it. I got my exhaust for $260, my K&N drop in for $50. My rockers for $176. Im looking at an FFP chip or UD pulley next, prolly chip though. Anyway, if you like your car, its worth it. You'll see more gains in torque than HP, but with that stuff, you should have a decent gain Robby Quote
