Begining my search for another T-type or GN to use as a fun daily driver. I sold my old T and regret it. I've looked over a bunch of them on the board, and what I'm looking for doesn't seem too far fetched. Price range is negotiable depending on condition and how well it meets my needs but I...

Looking for Tranny builder in the Dallas area

Here's my list of mods. Walbro 340 with hotwire kit 009's with matching Reds 93 chip Bosch regulator set at 42.5 static with line off. SMC alky kit set to come on at 10# Stock turbo set at ~ 19# Nitto DR's. New Timing chain and Valve Springs Scanmaster II Turbo-link (can't use...

Best place to buy a new Sanmaster II?

If you disconnect the quick connector on this wire my understanding is that this kills power to the ECM. I take it the car wouldn't start if this wire is disconnected? To the point, I disconnected this wire to rotate the engine without it starting and the thing fired right up and ran. :confused:

Running at 10# of boost the tranny shifts perfectly at WOT through all gears. When I run around 12-15# the Tranny shifts fine from first but it seems to stay in 2nd a long time. If I let off just a bit the tranny will shift fine. I've read that some people add fluid, but was wondering why this...

Under WOT, the T-link stops reading. It reads one time before it apparently enters PE mode, then it spits out a line of a bunch of way off redings and doesn't record until you let off. I just changed ECM's today and nothing changed. The car seems to run ok. Ken wanted me to send in my T-link to...

I need to upgrade my fuel system and wanted to get it ready by Wed. Anyone have a Walbro pump local to Austin or San Antonio?

I'd like to remove the Schrader vavle from the fuel rail so I can install a dual guage fitting assembley. Anyone have a simple solution? I am not talking about the inside of the valve, I'm talking about the entire valve from the fuel rail. Can this be done?

I pulled off the stock srpings and dampner and found shims underneath them. Is this stock? They all are the same and say "This side up" on on side (as some shims do). If they aren't factory shoudl I reuse them with the comp 980's?

I've been fighting an issue where the car runs better at part throttle than WOT. (Read here plz - http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=97110) I go out to make another run after adjusting the wastegate and get the following line across the T-link under normal driving at...

The car is stock, except with the addition of an Alky kit, a Pit Bull, and some exhaust work. It has an adj. wastegate and FP regulator as well. I can stomp on it, and the car pulls well to 10# but anything above that it runs better if I back off the throttle. This happens both with and without...

Anyone know of a respectable Tranny shop in Texas that can rebuild my tranny? Thanks for the help.

I have an SMC kit. Simply, I have it set at 10#. Even when the armed switch is off when it hits 10# the spray light comes on, and the engine pops. Is this light supposed to come on even if the pump is turned off?

...by running an engine for about 30 seconds with 0 psi Oil pressure. Anyone care to make a guesstimation on the damage? When will people learn that the oil pump needs to be primed after timing chain install...at least it was just a timing chain install and not a rebuild/dry start. Any takers...

I want to go with either pro stars or draglites on my T-type, what is the widest profile tire with which backspacing I can run. I've read 15X8 rim with 3.5 and alost 4.5. What would be the difference in looks I hate when tires "poke" and don't want my car looking like a low rider. Also, would it...

I just finished installing a newly purchased used SMC kit off of E-bay. It was apparently only used for 1500 miles (so the add stated). Steve at SMC was gracious enough to send me instructions as I was anxious to get it installed for this weekend's fun at the track. After all said and done, the...

Looking through the forum I haven't found anything that describes my problem. The car runs great and has been for the month I have had it. I did the basic spring cleaning on it and everything is in good shape. I took a trip about 150 miles to a friends house to run some locals. Now under WOT...

I've been a long time fan of Buick GN's and T-types and have recently given up nitrous fed large CI street/strip cars to take a little more laxed and quiet ride with an 86 T-type. Looking for local TR clubs in the area.
