*bump* for the last day of the auction, NO RESERVE

That is an estimate from the people who built the motor, I have never had the car dynoed.

On eBay for $100 with NO RESERVE Clicky

My 1980 3.8L turbo Buick V6 runs like crap and has a 795cfm carb on it, going off of what you are saying here on the thread this carb is entirely the wrong size for the motor? Or is this size correct for the turbo V6?

The before black forum doesn't seem to have any activity on it, with threads on the main page from August... Here is my orig. thread (which was towed): http://turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=135440

The car: 1966 Porsche 911 with a 1980 Buick Turbo 3.8L V6, engine mounted in the rear with radiator up front, hoses go to the engine under the car and the stock waterpump is being used, fairly new waterpump with ~3K miles on it. The radiator has (2) 13" electronic fans (one on top, one on...

I got the car started today and after driving 1.2 miles it died on me again, completly died - still had power to the accessories, still could crank the engine, could still start the engine with a great deal of gas pedal and starter (although it would sputter & die in a second or two) - I checked...

I was driving my car today (carb'd turbo buick v6) when it died on me in a parking lot. I figured I had stalled the car, but when I hit my push button it didn't start up again. I could give it gas and when holding the button it would turn over, I could even get the motor started once or twice by...

I recently had my car transported from PA to SoCal, when it left PA it started fine and was driven onto the truck, and the truck driver was given a plastic cover to put over the intake (the motor is in a porsche hybrid, the cover prevents rain from entering the carb, but it must be removed prior...

I have quite a bit invested in this motor (otherwise I might just look for a '87 setup to shove in there), and I would really like to intercool it - while I am aware other options exist for cooling down the air going into the motor I would really prefer an intercooler. I am a bit of a newbie...

actually I have a carb'd 1980 turbo motor (see sig) and I have been looking for about 6 months at intercooling it - I am interested in the intake manifold thread below: http://turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103188 But just realized this is for an injected motor - If an...

Are the intake manifolds on the carb'd 3.8L Buick V6's interchangable with those on the injected 3.8L motors?

I still attend local euro cruises and I go to some PCA events, I just don't open my trunk and if asked I tell people "I have a heavily modified turbo swap" and leave it at that. :cool:

Sounds like this has been quite an adventure ;) Do you have any kind of a rough guesstimate as to how much these manifolds will run when you start producing them?

A very interesting project, to say the least... Keep us posted on the development of this intake.

Bandwidth and hosting is a max of $10K/year - the board software is a one time expense of $500 - there is going to be tax on the earnings but it is still a considerable chunk of cash, especially when you consider most site operators also own multiple sites...

Well I bought it... It is currently being shipped and I should see it around July 6th. I will post pics & dyno charts when it arrives :D Get this... insurance with full coverage is only $88/mo.! That's about a third of what I was paying when I owned my BMW M3.

I will ask him about the turbo, what size is the factory turbo on these motors? I was able to find a scanned brochure on the motor online via a google search, but it doesn't go into detail on the turbo - is this a conventional unit or is it a specially designed turbo by Buick?

Re: Pass the flag!! That's a direct quote from the seller, the boost is adjustable and the motor was fully built to run those kinds of boost levels. The idea of a motor with this much power (dyno proven) sitting directly on top of the rear wheels of a 2000lb. car sounds interesting, I...
