Growing up my brother and his friends had Turbo Buicks. I didn't have any money so I had a Turbo Coupe. I actually had 6 turbo coupes and 2.3T powered vehicles. They're a lot of fun. I always wanted to build a Turbo 2.3 Pinto but by the time I could, I realized I'd rather mess with Turbo Buicks...

Says "Never raced or abused." Don't mind the full build list, roll cage and Nitrous.

Which radiator do you have? I have a champion Radiator with the stock fan and it hovers at 165 99% of the time.

What do you mean alky spray or Fuel? I think you mean 50/50 mix vs full Meth. I run M1 full meth. PTESLIC and bald 275/60's.

I'm surprised you're having all those issues. All your procedures and numbers appear to be correct to me. If you sit still with your foot on the brake will it stall? Or when you release the break at a low RPM?

It's from a company called Transmission Specialties. I use to work there and spec converters for many years. I recently loosened it up and made some changes with another company called Pats Performance which has been around a long time. It's your standard 245mm 10" that most companies can offer...

I have a cheap 10" torque converter (but spec'd right). The car has just run 10.91 at 124 and also ran 126 on a different pass. I didn't notice if you had heads and cam but that was a big improvement on mine. When I'm driving around at low RPM I can feel all the torque just sitting there ready...

There should be no need for a dump valve behind a Turbobuick. It's just a matter of putting the right converter behind it. These cars have tremendous low-end torque and when you're spooling on the line you just need it loose enough to catch some of that torque and then watch the boost rise. A...

I'm sure it is. I just look at the way the two pieces fit together and don't see how you wouldn't put tension on them with a bracket in between.

Got any pics? Does it move the dash surround material where it will do it harm over time? I really need to put a tach in my car.

Rock Auto options for V8 Regal seem to show the trans cooler lines in the front and no oil cooler. I'm okay with making that work but you're saying yours do not need any modification. I see the 162 G-body options. None are Spectra but I understand the 162 is correct for the car now. Thanks

Have you used one?

Thanks. I will keep that in mind. Do you have the oil cooler running through it and external trans cooler?

Hi, guys. I know this topic has been discussed in detail. I am going to buy one for my car but a few things are unclear. The old posts say they are a 1 core but the ones on Rock auto are labeled 2 core. Just wanna make sure that today, in June of 2022, this thing still has the same fitment as...

I wouldn't say you need to pop in, but if the place is a reasonable driving distance I wouldn't be above drive by's to see if it's where it's supposed to be and not sitting out in the lot and pushed to the side.

How far do you live from the shop that has the car? Is it driving distance?

If you haven't watched it, I suggest it. It doesn't deal with your boost control question directly but it touches on many surrounding topics you should be familiar with.

I was considering 1200's and the pan recently. I bought them plus a OE pan style. After comparing them, I realized the Pan gasket fit much more to my liking and there wouldn't be a benefit to the 1200's. I have Champion Irons.
