85 200/300 - > 87 245/355. What can i do to get to the later grand national power that is cheap and a good recipe?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks for the response guys. I did read quite a few threads but there is actually too much info as a newbie to make sense. Guess it will take some time and lots of reading. The one thing i don't want to do is throw parts at it hoping i will get to where i want. Would be nice to know that "do this" and you will get exactly the results you want I read the recipes but there are only a few and except for 1 the others are heavy modification.
to gain just a few ponys wont take much. check tps sensor at full throttle you probably don't get 4.75-5 volts you need for full boost/timing/fuel curve use the 86=87 style hi performance exhaust with matching convertor will free up some power too. if you can find/make a slightly bigger downpipe to go with im sure you will be past a stock 86=87 car85 200/300 - > 87 245/355.

I have a HA myself,but I look at it like this"a slow GN is better than no GN"!hello welcome to turbo buick... i to am in the same boat as you but after reading and reading i have went with a set up on here that i leaned and i liked. im currently putting a 87 turbo on my 85 car and adding a inter cooler and a alky kit, and a 87 intake. thats where im going with my car.. there are alot of people on here that are true to the hot air. at the moment now im running a stock turbo with 42ibs of injectors, a fell pro fuel pump, and 87 computer with 87 ecm and a turbo tweek chip. there are alot of mods for our cars. it just takes time and time. lol... we are not like the 87/86 where we can buy bolt on parts. we have to work and really think with our cars. and to me thats what makes us special. for years i have hung with IC guys and they make fun of my car all the time. but i love my GN. its mine and its real. thats all that matters at the end of the day. take your time. listen to everyone here on the site. The hot air guys are the best in book...lol... HOT AIR FOR EVER.

First of all, there is nothing "cheap" that you can do to get a hot air close to intercooled power!
I do have some experience with many HA cars including one that dynoed over 600 HP,.
If I had intercooled guys laugh at my hot air car it would be a challenge to make it faster than most of theirs hot airs will run if you work at it. See ya!
