I posted this thread for useful information so those with sarcasm please keep your comments to yourself. Im not some teenager who thinks everything is 10 sec worthy. Im here like everyone else because we are enthusiastic about our Buick and want our cars to be the best we can make them. Will my...

Im going to be running a ta61.5 from workturbochargers, 60lb inj, ported intake an new up & down pipes with 3" exhaust. Also upgrading fuel system and adding alky. Desired power would be what ever gets me close to mid 10's

What trans converter and stall are you guys running on the 200 4R? Does brand matter or are they all basically the same?

The turbo im picking up says it performs best with a 2800 stall, but what are your thoughts on this? I originally was thinking more on a 3000 stall, is there a major difference in the two? What is the best converter at a reasonable budget minded cost? This is for my 84 gn with a 2004r.

I have an 84 GN with what I believe is a stock 2004r. Im making some changes like installing new TA61.5 turbo from work turbochargers, ported intake and new up and down pipes and ported inlet and elbow. The site says the turbo works best with a 2800 stall, but what are your thoughts on this...

Hey I was reading an old post for 86-87 ecm do you still have any good ones? Im doing a 84 swap. I can use my calpak right or do I need the newer one?

My goal is to have a street car that can conservatively go high 10's low 11's

Ok now as Reggie said the block and heads are the same from 84-87 can I buy the intake and top parts from an 86-87 and use it on my block? Is that all it takes to be considered an 86-87 engine or am I missing something? I would like to build the block I have rather than finding a different...

Very well put.... Ok in the end my goal is to have a streetable car but also something you can play with or take to a track once in a while. I would say I would be happy with 1/4 mile times around 10.8- low 11's

Thanks for the info. Now in theory my plan is to intercool the engine and have the engine shop fabricate a flange on the intake so I could move the turbo forward. I already changed my radiator to a griffin and got a ford taurus electric fan to replace the clutch fan. Now wouldn't this be like...

Ok the turbo has a big ar because its in an rx-7 right now and the rotary needed the bigger ar. You have to be thinking of the wrong turbo because this set up works perfect on the rx-7 which is not a race car, its a street car.

Ok now im new to GN's and also new to turbo's I had a 70 Chevelle before I made the switch. Now a lot of people say to switch the engine to an 86-87 but when you look to buy a replacement engine they classify all the GN years together for the block. Other than turbo placement, ecm and...

Yes its the 700hp This is it:

Also the AR options I can buy if the 1.06 is to big is a .85 or .95

They have a .85 and .95 also
