94GPGTP Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 What will happen with the 3.4 mated behind the 282?? I don't plan on beating it up all the time but every now and then. I would assume dropping the clutch at 3-4000 rpm will effect it but other than that think it will work? I can get a 96 gtp cheap that has a bad trans and I have a 282. I hate to compare but the Tgp and the 3.4 are kinda close and so far my Tgp is holding up With the 282. Yes the 3.4 has alot of torque but I would assume the Tgp at 3500 would be compareable dumping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodolds Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 The 3.1 Turbo made more torque than a 3.4 DOHC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 it will be fine. fiero guys have been mating the 282 to about every engine under the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a good thing then if it should be alright. Now I am going to be in a deep thought process for a few days to decide weather to get this gtp or not. The part I love best it's red and a 96!!! All us DOHC guys know what 96 means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94GPGTP Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I think. But replacing it now will prevent from breaking in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I know there was a guy who was on here (very rarely) that put a 282 behind a 3.4. If I remember when I talked to him about it he had a few drivability issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyd Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 it will be fine. fiero guys have been mating the 282 to about every engine under the sun. +1. Have a 430hp V8 in a Fiero mated to a 282. No problems. It's a sturdy box, especially if you get the aftermarket support bearings from Rodney Dickman. BUT - the two are really, really different and you'd have the same problems trying to adapt one to a GP that us Fiero guys have trying to adapt a 284. The shift cables & linkage aren't the same, the axles aren't the same, the speedo sensor isn't the same, the slave cylinder isn't the same, the clutch isn't the same, the throwout bearing isn't the same, the clutch fork isn't the same, and the 282 has no jackshaft. A lot of adaptation work for sure. Later 282s (after 94) are even more different, with things like a hydraulic throwout bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I am misreading you, but you sound unaware that the 282 was also available in W-bodies, with the 2.8 or 3.1? And yes ours does have a jackshaft. True, absolutely nothing besides the clutch pedal will interchange with a 284, but W-specific 282 parts do exist and will bolt in (with some work in '94+ cars, though). The later 282s/T550s are a different story and weren't available in Ws, and no non-W 282 case has the proper mounting bosses for our cars anyway.

crazyd Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks Tony, I knew the TGP's had 282's but didn't know about the other W's. Unlike the 284, there are lots of different versions of the 282 for different cars, and the OP didn't state that it was a W-specific 282. Bottom line, nearly all Fieros with DOHCs use the 282 and it doesn't break. I'm even doing one of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 tgps never got manual trans. the 282 was in 2.8 & 3.1 engines and 284 was with the dohc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyd Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 That's an even bigger surprise. The 5-speed TGP's I've seen must've been conversions then, I assumed it was stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGPs with 282s have had them added, taken from other W cars... and a fiero is a lighter car, so a 282 there would conceivably be under less stress... but don't let that stop you.
