It would be very great to receive help from you for my very stock 87 chrome Regal, low miles.
I just visited the GS Nationals at Bowling Green (sorry for rain out saturday) and like to get some more power out of the car.
I am used to work on cars, but the turbo Buick stuff for me is brand new! Some of you are 30 years on already. I'am an old little baby!
In Germany i get no information and no parts (only 3 turbo Buicks known here). Some friends from Missouri would help with shipping, what i not get from the known sellers or ebay.
The car has already:
- scanmaster 2.1
- walbro fuel pump 255LPH
- fuel press regulator and gauge
- pypes exhaust 2x2,5"
rest is stock!
In the garage:
- downpipe 3" and test pipe
- external wastegate
- 50lbs (high impedance) injectors
- hotwire for pump
- heated o2 sensor
- some parts like 160 degrees thermostate with va connector, better oil pressure regulator, thick header gaskets
Planned to buy:
- Precision 5858 ball bearing
- Precision stock location intercooler or RJC front mount
- 3,5 MAF and translator
- 3" cold air inlet with big K+N Filter
- whiteband o2 sensor, to read inside and adjust by translator if necsessary
- Chip (would love just to fill the form of turbotweaks)
- diff gauges, knock, water temp, oil press, nice girls,
I will get a 200-R4 trans rebuild, stronger, converter with needed stall, soon.
Later:
- rebuild a 2nd used engine, what i look for now...
it will get ported stock heads and may be roller cam
---------------------------------------------------
I have no sec 1/4 mile and no mp/h, let us test, what comes out!
We have fuel 93,5 oct (Europe 98)
I have no dyno easy to go to, nobody is used to this engine.
The car should be robust and isb driven like a every day car. Quite fast, but no race car.
---------------------------------------------------
Questions:
- are the 50 lbs injectors to small?
- Spool time
not sure about the intercooler! May be, the BIG RJC is better for more boost (colder / less detonation)
but bigger volume, needs longer to build pressure than the Precision SLIC. For that, would prefer the Precision SLIC.
The bigger (compared to stock, but modern) 5858 needs longer to spool, ball bearing little quicker, is that right? Is the 5858 to big for that little setup?
- what stall would it need?
- 3,5" MAF and translator, heated narrowband o2 sensor plus wideband sensor only for read, is that the way?
Input would be super!
