car sounds good, the gm 3.1 v6 still surprises me lol. did u get more fuel mileage by adding the exhaust? im getting ready to buy a corsica or some other midsized car with a 3100 engine and i want to get as much mileage out of it as i can without breaking the bank. suggestions are welcome cause i dont know anything about this engine, all i know is it is a damn good strong running engine.
I averaged 29.5 on the highway doing 75 - 80 on a trip from Columbus in mine. That was with NGK platinum plugs, Taylor 8.2mm wires, MSD coil-packs, a homemade intake, synthetic motor oil, and the forementioned exhaust. And this was at about 160k on the clock. My advice? Run a good set of plugs and wires, a good intake / exhaust setup, and run synthetic.
@MurphSexy86 Thank you. Anywhere I can get one new/used? It's impossible to find a Beretta in my local junk yards.
And do you happen to know what could make a speedometer stop working? I replaced the entire display but the speedometer is still not working. 87' Base Beretta.
Unfortunately the wings are discontinued, you might get lucky and find them on eBay at some point however. They're called "Solar Wings" if this helps any!
cool!! reminds me of almost exactly the mods I had on my 1996 Z26 engine, right down to the weapon-r tube, msd coils/wires, 2.5" exhaust, relocated battery to the trunk, 60mm t.body. Knocked like 1.5 sec. off stock. Never installed the UDP's because the engine croaked last week. Know anyone who wants to buy a z26 near chicago that only needs an engine to be badass??
I ran full 2.5" piping when I had the exhaust done. The muffler you want is the same one that's in my video too. Do yourself a favor and if you have a shop put it on, have them remove the resonator too. You'll get better sound out of it.
yea, they're not the fastest compared to today's standards, but during their era they were pretty quick little cars. eventually i'll get a video posted from my cammed 3400 swap.
@MurphSexy86 i used to have a 96 z26 and now i wish i wouldn't have sold it.... you could even try to swap out the 3100 for a supercharged 3.8 from a grand prix or something like that.
@utfan26 Want to buy my 1996 Z26 with 95,468 miles?? The stock 3100 broke a camshaft last week. I need four doors for my kids, so spending $1800 popping in either a 3100 or 3400 is too costly and impractical for me at this point. The car has been babied and extremely well taken care of, sans the busted engine... lol...
@project1996z26 I'd just drop in a 3800 the same year of ur car cuz the 3800 will bolt right up to the 3100 trans so all u got to do is change the computer and the motor thats it i was going to but i wound up selling mine
They are definately good for snow drifting! The car does have some balls now though, I did a cammed 3400 swap on it over the summer. Still no video up yet however.
just go with a magnaflow or a dynomax since you have the four cylinder, otherwise it'll sound rather awful. with the four's you don't want a lot of noise just a good tone.
hey murph, does your car rev limit at like 3 grand? mine does when in park. but when i have it in low gear(auto) i can get 80 miles an hour out of second reving around 5k
JJ, I picked up the clear side markers off of a forum member on bstuff.com, but you can also pick these up on Ebay. As for color choices, it's hard to say, it really depends on the interior color and what all else is done to the car. And Mario, the coil packs ran me about $40 apiece.
Since this video I have installed a cammed 3400 that's bored .040 over, with numerous modifications. When I can get the chance to get my hands on a better video camera, I'll be sure to get a video posted.
Yess, i'll use Flowmaster Muffler on my Sunbird GT, once I swap my 3.8 Supercharged, I have a Dual Muffler System stock, so i'll run my 3inch Exhaust system and put 2 Flowmaster 40 Serie's on each side with 2 Chrome 45° Angle Tip's ! Shall be good ! Keep your Beretta Clean they are rarer !
Nice looking Beretta. I am also a chevy beretta owner and I really like the clear rear bumper side markers. were did you get them? I have a 92 beretta gt that i am converting into a gtz. I have it all ready I just want to add little deatil to make the car look better. What color would you recommend for a paint? I want a color that will fit the berretta personality. That Beretta is a headturner I bet.
@neolexington Don't stick your foot too far into your mouth, my good friend. Unless you have actually seen every one of these cars in person and have personally experienced riding in every one of them, and can therefore conclude that they are all crap with significant evidence, all you are doing otherwise is barking up the wrong tree.
@neolexington You probably had the four cylinder and decided they are crap. Test drive a Beretta with the quad four DOHC16 valve then make your decision if beretta is crap. Hint when first beretta GTZ was realeased it was on top with the BMW. BMW actually had competition.
I don't care what anyone says Beretta's are sexy fucking cars, something about that rear end - and yours isn't an exception my aunt had a black one loved riding in it.
@08IS350 I had one. 89 GT with an Eibach kit, 17's and a new paint job with new window tint, alot of motor work for the 2.8L v6. I had it stroked with tuned ECU, ect...... and I got Tboned at 55 MPH by a ford Windstar day after I graduated. Body kit was still on the garage floor.....I miss it. They have alot of potential.
On a Z34 it may not sound bad, but personally I would run a Magnaflow on one of those! And yes, the visor on the rear window is called a Solarwing, they have been discontinued but some are still floating around the web.
lovely car, i had the same one, unfotunately i had to send her to the boneyard, check out my video at abstract art by heidi.
