Anyone remember Smokey's Fiero

Does anyone remember Smokey Yunick's 84 fiero that got 51mpg did 0-60 in the 5 second range and was tested 230hp 250lbs torque?


For many years i have been interested in this design. It was way over my head when I first read an article about it in the late 80's and every now and then I see or read something on it. I cam across the below linked site earlier tonight.

Smokey Yunick and many of the other old time engine builders didn't have this improve on what we have thought process they were true inventors. Does anyone know of another related engine build similar in concept to this one?

I won't try and explain it Below is a link with enough information to get you up to speed on what I am taling about. Superheating the fuel to almost an atomized state as it enters the combustion chamber (hot vapor) polar opposite of the current and old time thought process. Very cool

Like the author of the article I would love to get a kit to play with.

a couple years ago I did see the 84 Fiero on a TV show explaining its concept and it blew a line and exploded into fire or something. last I heard it was repaired and now in good health.

I would look all this up and put links it is not that hard but I am lazy and it is 3am.

Smokey Yunick’s Hot Vapor Fiero; 51 mpg and 0-60 in less than 6 Seconds! See and hear it run in our exclusive VIDEO! : Legendary Collector Cars
