I am wondering what the difference is between these? I understand the LS1 is bigger and newer technology. I am wondering more if the LS1 MAF can be used on a stock engine or if it requires more mods? I am looking to buy a translator and want to know which one I should be looking to get. Thanks.

I found a SMC alky kit, brand new, for sale. Price seems ok but I can’t really find a lot of info on these kits. Worth buying? Thanks guys.

I have an 87 WE4 and I am trying to figure out why it does not have the power it should. I am looking for someone that is willing to give me a hand in figuring this out. I have an idea of what is up but I am not certain and would really like to not throw money away. I know I have made some...

I have no idea where to start on picking out a converter. Can someone lend me a hand and give me some guidance with this? I have an 87 GN stock turbo, stock intercooler, 36# injectors, 212/212 cam, and 373 gear in the back. I want it to be good on the street and the strip, so I'm not looking...

So my car finally made it out of storage and I decided to check the brakes while I put my nicer rims on and found the inside all wet, 80/90w. So I figured I would replace the axel seal. In taking everything apart I found my carrier is junk. So now I need to figure out what I should do or what I...

Can I use a 4L60E behind my 3.8? It's out of a 99 Tahoe.

Hey guys. It has been a long time since I have been on here, mainly because of a lack of time and funds to play with my Buick, however I need some help. I can not find anyone in Minnesota that can help me so I am coming to you guys. First, my car is eating alternators like they are candy. It...

Does it need to be hooked up to Vaccum and if so where is it supposed to tie in? Thanks

I bought a scanmaster off ebay that was on an 03 GTP and i figured it would work. Am I wrong? It still only has the three wire hook up. I have an 87 GN. It powers up and goes through two different screens and then nothing, like the computer and scanmaster are not talking. Any ideas guys...

So yea.... I an newer to these buicks and mine has done this before but it went away and I am not sure as to the cause of either, coming or going. However here is the problem, when you get on the engine and it hits 3000 rpm and the turbo starts to spool the engine starts to break up. I...

If my buick is 180 out of timing, I know it will run, but how well will it run. My car is getting about 6-8 mpg on a new engine. Stock except 206 cam and 50# injectors with chip to match. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

I am looking for a guy named Jack T. Not sure on the whole last name so I am not going to put it out there. I talked with him about a year ago and he told me that he was the guy that took my car apart and has been around them for a long time. I am looking for him for some help on my car. Any...

I am putting my rebuilt motor in and I want to put a stall converter in at the same time. I have a stock motor minus the cam it is a 206 cam and the heads have minor work done. Stock turbo for now but I am looking to upgrade within a year or so, nothing huge just a little more. What stall...

I am looking to find out what turbo I can go with for my setup. I have a fresh rebuilt stock motor with a 206 cam, 50# inj, minor head work, upper graded springs on heads. Some other stuff but nothing else for the motor. The car was running 12.1 with the stock turbo, looking to dip into the...

Ok so I had my motor rebuilt after a slug rod bearing. Everything was cleaned and put back together except the turbo. Is the turbo something I can take apart at home, clean and put back together or are they a pain in the ass? any help would be great. Thanks Jeff

Ok so when I bought my car it was in peices. I thought that it would not be that hard to put it back together, only thing is that I don't know if I have all the bolts. The one I am interested in now are the front cover bolts and oil pan bolts. The local auto store said they would match them...

I bought a GN with a spun rod bearing, #1 imagin that, anyways brought it to the shop and found that the motor was in great shape minus the spun bearing. Block is going to be cleaned, new bears throughout, honed and the one rod is going to be resized. Not the ideal way but it should work for a...

If I got an 85 short block and put my heads and intake on that short block can I put it in my 87? Thanks

Ok the car I have was a 12.1 car (slips for proof) stock short block, stock turbo, stock suspenion, stock IC. Mild cam, unsure on specs, very mild head work, 50# inj and one of two aftermarket chips in it. I am going to have the short block rebuild by a TR builder, thinking of going slightly...

Ok so I got my WE4 yesturday and took a quick look at the block that is in the trunk of the car. I was told that it was a main bearing that had spun on this motor. It turns out that it was the number one rod bearing and possibly number two but I didn't have time to look real close and take it...
