Fear the beast! yea, its dirty, but I snapped this the day I bought the car.

AM91, is that lid/breather custom made?

 

the 'breather' is from a V8, its just the dual snorkel setup. and, that's a piece of 3" PVC between that and the TB with rubber plumbing couplers holding them together. that's a, basically, stock plenum that i polished. i'll have to take a new pic with my new blue plug wires on it too.

 

I thought it looked like the one of the TPI cars, but the PVC was throwing me off. Ive been wanting to do something similar to that on mine.

 

Nice pics people. Even though we got only 3.1's.....some how we still make then look hell good. If I'm right I think we hit number

21......


But hey if any of you guys got pics put then up....



Thanks..

How did that change over work. I had a 92 with the 3.1 and a 5spd and always wondered how hard the swap would have been. Had a 90 grand prix with the 3.4l and was fast:yourock:

 

Dale now that is one good looking engine.....its a 3.1 right?

3.4....its a 3.4 sorry about that.....I was going through a brain fart...lol

 

That plenum looks bad ***, dale.

I may have to do mine in red!

 

The is a 3.4 block yes, with 3.1 intake. I have 3.1 engine pics on my site

I do not like my intake painted to match. I'm looking for a second one to port out a bit, and keep it stock looking or polish.

Swap is not hard at all. If I didn't have to wait on my heads, I could have done all the work in a week and 2 good weekends(and thats having a full time job during week).

 

i bet the v8 guys are laughing at us , its okay we have an army big enuff to fight them

 

A British 3.1 V6 owner right here.
No under the hood (we call them bonnets in the UK ) but here's a pic of the girl.

 

is she single, my car needs a mate , shuts off on me when its pissed off lol

 

lol

well mine has a tendency to pull towards clothes shops. But at least I can shut her up....lol

 

my car wants to commit suicide, pulls hard to the right when i brake , tries to run away from me ... i dont think my car likes me to much

 

Mines being a little ^#%^# right now too. I just slam her gears so she wont die on me (auto).

Then I just bang her gears when I get going again

 

ive got a 91 rs with the 3.1 that was in a frame tweakin collision . so were parting her out the car only has 90,xxx on it so any one interested in a good 3.1 let me know youll have to come pick it up thou .....

 

Mine loves me. Always starts...cept 2 times....stupid VSS and random not startingness. And slightly breaks where I wanna get new parts anyways...like egr bolts stuck in header....guess I have to get those aftermarket headers....

 

what vss problems are you having? becasue i may be having the same one

 

i have a 3.1 with the dual snorkle intake and k&N air filters in a 92 camaro with the auto tranny. i love it exept it runs a little rough and is in need of a rebuild...my brothers owned 2 firebird with the 3.1 he blow the motor in his 92 with 120,000 miles but he know ownes a 91 with 65k running stong...still with prefere the 5.7 v8

 

The car just wouldn't start, I checked the codes and it said VSS. I took out the VSS fuse and put it back in and all was good since then.

 

Don't forget my 3.1 over here in the U.K. 110,000km and runs a dream (Hopefully when I put the autobox oil back in!)

 

niceeee a uk bird, whats 110,000 km? is that even 100 thousand miles

 

My wife of almost 4 years bought her 3.1L '92 RS Automatic brand spankin' new back in '92....still have the original window sticker and the introduction audio tape (still in wrapper - never opened). It's only got 70,500 miles on it, but the paint's a bit tough now as it's been sitting outside most of its life here in SoCal. It's garaged now, for the past 3.5 years. Runs good, but a weird vibration with the A/C on when stopped at a light. Yeah, I know, the A/C compressor is gonna make some noise, but this is sorta weird.....almost too much vibration/noise. A/C works great though!
