Well, it has come time to swap the trans out. I've had one on the floor that a buddy and I built years ago. The only thing stock is the case and valve body. My main question deals with the headers that I am going to install once the old KCF trans is out. (By the way, if anyone can enlighten...

Hey all, About a week ago, I popped a T-stat gasket and repaired it. I get done and I had no boost....again!!! A while back, I made a post about it not making any. It seemed to fix itself after a while so I thought it might be a vacuum leak on one of the lines to the TB from the PCV. (had a...

Who here is in OK? I just moved to Stillwater in December. Anyone near me? I was also curious about the best ways to keep your GN cool in the heat of the summer. I'm originally from Cape Cod, MA so I never had to deal with much heat in the summer.

Hey everyone! I just moved to Stillwater, OK from Cape Cod, MA. So I have lost all of my Turbo Buick connections I had back in MA. I just wanna know who in this board is here in OK with me. I like it here a whole hell of a lot better than in MA. No more vehicle nazis!!!! :)

I am looking for a double-line, adjustable wastegate actuator for my 85. Anyone got a good one floating around? Mine went south.

I was curious if anyone at all had any info on the 83 Riv pace car. I would specifically like to know about its twin-turbo motor and powertrain. I thought if anyone could provide me with info, you guys could. ;)

Here's the deal guys: I just swapped in a TA-33c that I had lying around for a while. I put it in last weekend and went to work Tuesday and everything was fine. The turbo worked great and the car was fast as hell. I got in it to go home and was anxious to show my co-worker/friend how much it had...

I know that this means that the seal is probably bad, but there is no shaft play to speak of, nor did the car appear to burn any oil. It is only the stocker and it's getting swapped for a TA-33c, but that still don't kill my curiosity. Anyone who could shed light on this would help me a lot...

If anyone has one that's in reasonably good shape (I.E. not ripped or tattered like mine), gimme a shout. I wanna be proud of what's under my hood. The banged up old pad I have isn't doing it! Thanx in advance. :biggrin:

Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you all how much I missed my GN since it was apart. I took the engine out in January and had to hunt for parts for a few months (many thanks to those on this board who supplied me with them). I ported my heads, and put a 204-214 cam in it. After I took the...

I was just curious as to what the identifying marks of a TA-33 and a TA-49 are. Also, I was curious as to what the maximum allowable shaft play on either is. I'm not really sure if this is the right forum for this. PLZ HELP!!!!!!

:confused: :confused: :confused: I need this number today!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pulled my ECM out this morning to find that it might be an '87-style ECM. I was just curious what the GM part number was on their ECM in 87 and 85. I only raised this question becaus I figured that my car had an 85 ECM, so I bought an 87 ECM (part # 1227148). The ECM I pulled out of the car...

Just curious if anyone out there has painted their own car? I want to do mine, and am fairly confident I can do it. How do I get rid of the rust under things like the rear 1/4 windows. There is a little bubbling in the paint coming out from under there. I will be shooting it outside. Anything to...

I just wanted to know, while I have my engine apart, what is needed to make it reliable? :confused: My combo is as follows thus far: Ported intake and heads, 86/87 ECM, 204-214 cam, .030" overbore, forged Speed Pro pistons, TA49, 37lph Delphi injectors ( both coming soon). What are the oiling...

Just curious if I should run an aftermarket torque converter with a 204-214 cam. :confused:

I'm just curious as to what kind of tools are needed to do this, if anyone has...:D If anyone has experience with this, how hard is it? Is it worth the trouble, or should I go to a machinist?:confused:

I need a set of headers at a reasonable price... I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this thread either. I'm broke and in college :( I NEED GUIDANCE!!!! :confused:

Well, it only took me a total of 20 hours to get this engine out. Everything went pretty well. I did it without removing the turbo. I did, however notice that this engine was taken apart before. There was a name on the flywheel written in permanent ink. Greg B. :confused: Do these engines mix...

I am going to pull my engine next weekend. I have all the tools to do it, but was wondering if there is anything special to consider when pulling one of our engines? I have removed engines before, mainly SBC's, and know about what is entailed in removing a basic engine. It is a whole new ball...
