Hey,

I have an 1989 Pontiac Firebird 2.8 L V6 and i cant seem to find anyone who sells an aftermarket performance intake for my car...anyone know where i can get one??? How about other performance engine components??? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Look for my tech thread about swapping in a 3.4
PS you won't win any races, but you may get lucky.
Welcome.
What's your budget?
What's your mechanical skills?
Who owns the tools you use?

 

There's no aftermarket intakes for the 2.8/3.1 MPFI motor. If you search this forum, you'll find tons of information. The search button is located in the upper right hand corner of the screen, below the advertisements.

 

I can make one for you, I have the same motor and car. I can tell you how to make one too if you want it that way.

 

The Home Depot

 

slp has one for the 3.1 but it is very expensive i was going to order one but decided not to

 

yea, isn't it like 200.00? Do it yourself and spend about 50.00

 

so what do u buy from Home Depot to give your car a custom ait intake??? I only ask cuz looking at the engine and the small sapce that available in front of the airbox i dont see how its done...i know what to do cuz my friend has it done to his 97 v-8 t-bird....but help, its like the last cheap mod i have to do!!!

92 3.1v6 RS Camaro
k&n air filter
180* stat
flowmaster muffler

 

anyone know where to get a good chip for the 3.1 while im on here????

 

you can get one at jegs. i have one that im not using i can sell you. it's for a 1992 3.1 automatic it a jet stage 2 let me know if your interested

 

LOL! I thought he meant intake manifold; oops, my bad.

 

whats the chip u have do and what r u wanting for it??
i have the 3.1 auto v6

 

hehe i thought he was talking about manifolds too, i was like damn 200 bucks aint that expensive.

 

I have that CAI on my car. The reason I opted for that was simply because it looks stock even though it isn't.... I also gained performance as well as a lower exhaust note from it. Here's some pictures.

 

what size pvc pipe do u buy from home depot and what k&n filter do u get??
ill just do that till i can afford the one off of slp

 

This should help:

i used 3" PVC and K&N part # KNN-RE-0810 from summit racing.

 

whos actually done the Throttle Body Bypass from the above link and had it work to tell me what i am doing wrong,
the engine keeps over heating and the dump off water starts boiling!

 

Have you guys seen my intake at all?

 

anybody know anything about a 3.1 -> 305 swap??
i wanna swap but dont wanna stay with the v6 wanna go to the v8!

 

[PHP]Have you guys seen my intake at all?



What did u do for yours??

 

@#%&!!! My car is a freak! I've gotta be the only one with the radiator hose on the passenger side. Started on my air intake today and it's right in the way. I'll work around it though somehow. Gotta get some more stuff tomorrow anyway.

 

They sell a chip for 3.1 Lit V6 Firebirds at www.FastToys.net. It makes you'r car run off 91 octane gas and is suppose to improve automatic transmission shifts.I don't know if it's any good i'd like to though cuz i thought about buyi'n one when i get done maki'n some repairs. There about 180 bucks i think and they said something about custom tuning for an additional 100.They do make a cold air intake for a 3.1 lit V6 don't they? and if so does anyone know how much HP it adds?.....Andy:lala:

 

CAI for 3.1v6 adds about 18-20

anybody have any problems with there cooling fan stop working??
mine just did!
suggestions........

 

oh yeah the CAI for the 3.1 is on the slp performance site!


i was looking at a camaro page and the guy had done a custom dual air inatake setup using dual K&N cone filters and a battery relocal kit........ does that add more hp or no
just a question....

This is the exact same thing I have on my car.

Real simple quick check/fix.
FOR TESTING
Hot wire fan motor to battery.
See what happens.
If nothing, motor dead.
Mine was, $30, Autozone/ten min swap.
IF motor go zoom, it's a problem before the fan motor. Start back tracking wiring.

 

well mine was free turned out to only be a coroded wire that wasnt allowing volts to get to the fan, bout 30 - 45 min just to find out what it was but then after that it was like a 5 min job
thanx anyway!
