The Previous owner had only an oil pump problem.
Oh yeah. Had to replace the tires a couple of times.
I bought this car last year from a sweet little old lady for $1500 running and driving great. The only problem it had was that the 2.5 four cyl had too little power for me. I'm pretty heavy into the Sport Compact scene and have a lot of experience with front Wheel drive performance. When I saw the Fiero, my car couldn't stop fast enough. The lady had put it for sale only 2 hours before I got there and someone else had already asked her about it. There was no way I was going to let someone else get that little gem of a car so I bought it from her on the spot. I've been investigating newer engines for this wonderful car and finally settled on it. The Fiero now hosts a turbocharged 2.2L ecotec motor that started life in a 2005 Chevy Caviler as a NA 140hp and 150lbs/tq and now give life to a Fiero as turbocharged, water-intercooled, 328hp 293lbs/tq (@17lbs boost) beast of a machine. The best thing I found about this motor is that it weighs appx 380lbs. Less than the stock motor in a Fiero so now it not only has more power, but it's power/weight ratio has been improved. I've owned Mustangs and Preludes alike and have never had as much fun in them as I have in a Fiero.
All I can say it that the Fiero makes the perfect sleeper. If you can even still find one in good condition, BUY IT!!!

Where did you get the swap done? I am looking into getting a ecotech fiero as well, but can't find anyone that is willing to do the swap.
Fiero's are not FWD so you couldn't have done that swap without doin some major mods to the chassis and drivetrain considering it's a mid engine rear wheel drive car. But that's a diff setup from anything I've seen. Nice!
I'm looking to do the same swap. Can you email me?

A very interesting swap indeed. The Fiero may be mid-engined, and rear wheel drive, but the motor is transversally mounted behind the passenger firewall similarly to a FWD configuration.
PLEASE Contact me... I have 86 4banger... I have access to three 2.2l and would love to do the swap... I'm looking for general information...
