1) The installation was straight forward with the help thread. I let the IAT temp where it was for the turbo tweak chips which is before the alky spray. The Sportsman will tune around it no problem, next time I pull the intake I will put some NPT holes toward the fire wall for a few sensors and...

Ran the 6262 JB at the Nat's in Burlington NC last week. 1.572 60', 6.703 @ 104.66 it was a fun ride down the track, last run was 5 years ago.... life gets in the way of fun. Chuck

Hey Guys, I just got my room at the host hotel Best Western Plus, (336) 584-0151 tell them your group gets a special rate for our event $79/night. Anyone else going? Richard provides a free lunch on Friday! This will be my 3rd year in a row of going. Chuck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone else having trouble? Opened up the laptop yesterday and Win 10 had major update, now powerlogger seams ok, but not able to connect with the car.

Hey Guys and Gals, Let's post up the current Buick status of your car or fleet of Buick powered cars. I'll start it off, running good except over 20 lbs boost, noticed fuel pressure log shows dropping pressure at WOT, new DW 301 fuel pump purchased from here in for sale section shipping...

Right here I got a backfire, 60lb injectors, I don't recall ever having inj duty cycles this high before. This was a short stab into the throttle.. here is the file (frame 3628) if anyone wants to have a look, it's rather boring street driving. Running SD2 here is a screen shot to temporarily...

Ok so my 84 GN (original owner) which is converted to a 87 needs a new ecm/engine wiring harness, as the existing one has had multiple failures over the last few years. Which doesn't give me warm feelings about road trips. I refuse to trailer my car to events, it's a car and was designed to be...

Well the adventure continues with the car. Going down the expressway last Saturday and the TR6 throws a code 16 (loss cam signal) but the car is still running good and next thing I know the idiot light is on for the oil pressure, I look down at the gage and it's at 0 psi, it takes about 2...

The machine shop cooked/chemical cleaned my heads and decked them(I did not ask for) on this last rebuild, how much metal came off, I'm not sure. I barely got all the intake bolts started, but once started they all torqued down well (but you can see the bolt threads are rubbing the intake...

Hello Guys, So on my fresh build the car runs great, but on a cold start until the engine warms up there is the tapping sound of a collapsed lifter. When I got the set it came with (8) lifter sets and, of course I only needed (6). So I'm off work until after the new year and I'm about to take...

Hello, Through a code 43 ECM which is on the passenger side inner fender, it's flat with about 4 connections. I can't seem to find one. Update: Brian at Gbodyparts.com has them on his site, so I ordered (1). Chuck

I got a stroker crank by accident, even thought the part number on the box is a verified stock stroke crank. So machinist discovered this after the crank was balanced with the existing 3.840 diamond pistons. Ok so the solution is to just go with the stroker at this point by getting the stroker...

Hello, So the machine shop called me Friday and asked to see the camshaft (to check the bearing clearances of the new installed King Bearings). I see that TAPerformance has some really nice grooved cam bearings, but I had already bought the Kings from FTS. So I drive over with the cam and the...

Hey Guys, While the motor is in machine shop jail, I decided that I better disassemble the champion iron heads. Discovered that some of the valves kissed some of the pistons, looks like just enough to remove the carbon. When actually when I roll some of the valve stems on a flat table edge, I...

Hello, Long time Turbo Buick guy here (1979) currently my 87 motor broke the crankshaft and the motor is disassembled. The motor runs a 127.78 at the track with letting the boost go full tilt, which happened by accident with the 6262. Currently was putting down 515 ish to the tires on a...

Hello Buick Brothers (and Sisters), Long time no see, out for knee replacement surgery 11/14, it went well, back to walking at lunch time and riding bicycle, knee is doing great, no more arthritis (racquetball injury from the early 80's) and no more pain! Finally got the Buick from Marley Hay's...

Hello, Before I order new stock stroke connecting rods, I wanted to see if someone is looking to get rid of a decent set. Chuck

Hello, Thought I would post in here before ordering a stock stroke externally balanced forged crankshaft, in the remote possibility that someone has one laying around. Chuck

Looking for a set of aluminum drums. Chuck

Thought I would share video from last weekend, Marley and I where at Goodlings Motorsports York Haven PA, a local Sring Open House/dyno day. Only cars to put down over 500 H/P where the two Buick Turbos there. Most of the Mustangs where in the 350 H/P range. Chuck
