Hey guys, Well, unfortunately my time with the Buick GN has come towards its end but not without trouble. To sum it all up my experience with the GN hasn't been a very happy one although this was mostly due to my lack of any proper budget to get the car running the way it should have (poor...

Picasa Web Albums - royclark24 - Buick Grand N... This is a level two kit great for your kids first model car. Would look great in your office on your desk at work, home or in your garage. Make an offer.

Hello, Recently I went to the track and was unable to get any clean runs in because my car wasn't running right most likely due to a bad MAF (car doesn't idle at consistent rpm's). Anyway, on my second run I detonated 19.9 degrees of knock near the top of 2nd gear before I let out running 21...

Ta60: Less than 1000 miles on it but needs a rebuild due to thrust bearing failure according to Limit Engineering. Blades are perfect but there is tremendous shaft play and the turbo leaks oil. Stock Turbo: Blades need to be rebuilt. Hardly any shaft play and doesn't leak oil. Feels like a...

Looking for a stock MAF because my re-manufactured one just took a dump.

I've been preparing this car for the track for one month now and got it running really good. All numbers were within spec minus my idle BLM which is 142. Car was running great yesterday boosting 18.5 psi with no knock at all. Today the car began to idle sporadically from 600 to 1400 rpms and was...

Also, I'm trying to jump the A/C socket to tune a turbo tweak chip but jumping it doesn't seem to register to the scanmasters L8 readings to cycle from 0 to 2. How do you jump the socket properly and are these wires connected to the a/c in any way? Picasa Web Albums - royclark24 - What are...

This weekend I will be running my Buick at the track. It's the first time in 4 years and I will be doing it with a basically stock car with a fully restored stock suspension, poly body bushings, and stock turbo. The only mods I have are 42.5lb/hr injectors, 340 fuel pump w/hotwire, Cold air...

After four years of college I've finally had some time this summer to put a replacement stock turbo on the car, port the exhaust elbow, upgrade the fuel pump, and run it with a TT 91 octane chip. I'm going to Autoclub Dragway in Fontana next weekend and was wondering what I should be looking to...

My Ta-60 began leaking oil all over the place and down the exhaust pipe as can be seen in my thread here: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/turbos-turbo-related-parts/289413-massive-oil-leak-inside-turbo.html Anyway, I need a turbo in good condition but I don't want to pay the $600 - $800...

Hello guys, Well, bad luck has struck me once again with my Turbo Buick. Recently the exhaust has been smoking like crazy with my BLM's at 142 at idle. First I thought it must be the BLM issue but then I looked at my turbo today and noticed leaks coming from the exhaust side which connects to...

Hello, I live in California but will be relocating to Ireland in the fall to pursue my graduate degree and want to sell my GN. It's a 1986 T-Top GN with 109,000 miles. The only mods are as follows: 17'' Torque Thrust II's 42 lb/hr injectors (b/c two originals went bad) Ta-60 turbo (Still...

Hey guys, please help with my mods gone wrong..... OMFG I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Well after this long summer I finally finished completing my suspension rebuild this past weekend and now have new Energy Suspension body bushings, gabriel shocks on all four corners (I know I know), CC627 springs in the rear, 5606 springs in the front, new front end rebuild with new control arm...

I'm looking for a different car to replace my 1991 Honda Civic DX hatchback. The car runs great and all and in fact gets me 30 mpg with the A/C on in stop and go traffic and 40mpg on the highway. However, I'm really tired of everything squeaking and the ride being crap and the car only having...

My car has 109,000 on the stock motor. I'm not concerned with putting a ton of power through it right now as I have to still finish rebuilding my suspension (come on Power Performance Motorsports, where is my front end kit???), and then I'm going to dive into the tranny, and likely the rear...

I had never looked into them before but the other day I was curious as they are the cousin of the Buick Regal G-body that's elevator doesn't quite reach the top. After researching what the car came with and everything else I don't see why anyone bought one of these things over a camaro...

I'm a young guy, only 19 years of age and I own a GN. I know the GN is from the 80's and a lot of you guys are probably 30 or older and grew up during the 80's with all the hair bands and rock 'n' roll. Well, I was at my summer job today and I heard the song "Here I Am" by the Scorpions and...

This guy I work with bought an 89 GMC Jimmy, or Chevy Blazer K5 for $1000 not too long ago. It's got a 350 in it and he knows he has an exhaust leak on the drivers side header to mid pipe flange area. He just recently replaced the flange gasket but it still leaks there I guess from what he...
