I am an ASE certified mechanic and have been for over two decades. When I rebuilt this engine, no shortcuts were taken. All specs were checked and all new internals were installed. Here's a list: -TRW Powerforged Pistons, moly rings. .020 overbored -Federal Mogul bearings -Double Roller...

88 Toyota Supra 8 way seats, custom cold air, deleted trunk lock and emblems, glassed in hood ridge, blacked out chrome (except bumpers), lots of powdercoating here and there, POR 15 underbody, new T Top Rubbers and PORed the framing up there too, GN dash, B&M Prostick, 89 IROC 16" wheels (FRONT...

I am pulling the 85 GN engine, harness, computer etc. completely out and putting in a small block. The engine runs awesome and has less than 500 miles on the fresh rebuild. It runs awesome and is still in the car, ut when it gets hot it will not restart. I have changed the cam sensor, coil...

I seem to remember someone converting from the stock ignition/coil pack over to a "standard" GM coilpack, like those on a 90 bonneville 3.8. Where can I find it. I am not spending the $$ on the 85 coil pack to fix my hot start problem. I also would rather not buy the 87 stuff. If I'm going...

I looked last night and searched the site for a conversion guide to 86/87 and can't seem to find it. I know it's here I've looked at it before about a year ago. Thanks, Brew

I am changing over to the 87 setup. Check my post on the For Sale board. Super deal all 84-84 stuff, drive before you buy! mongoosetoo

Hello all, Haven't posted in a while. Sorry about that, finishing college, new job, etc. Anyway, I have a very, very low mile, running 85 GN setup in a Cutlass, I am converting to a 87. I will be pulling the harness, turbo, heads, computer, everything hot air - all of it except the...

I gave this guy $35 for a glove box door, never received it. Emailed about 8 times, he only responded to the first couple, stalling me. I gave him six other opportunities to make things right. No response. Bad news for him though, I paid with a check. I have the cancelled check, with...

I have a Dell Axim x50 handheld and was wondering if there is a good software out there and cable I can use to monitor/troubleshoot my 85 GN? Thanks, Brew

I need a reasonably priced injector chekcer/rebuilder. I have a set of stock injectors I would like to have refurbed. Anyone have a recommendation and maybe a price? Thanks, mongoosetoo

I assume I have an injector problem. With my fuel pressure guage hooked up, when I turn the car off I can watch the guage go down pretty quickly. I assume there is a leaking or not working injector. The performance of the car has always been hit or miss. And when I start it, it always...

Like the post title says. I am looking for injectors stock or stock replacement. Must be new or refurb. Either email me at mongoosetoo@yahoo.com or call 740.403.2078. Thanks. Thanks, brew

I want to put nitrous on my 85 setup this winter. I need input about what system, brand, level, controls etc. I understand the technical aspects, I'm just looking for tried and true combos that won't blow up my brand new, .020 over stock motor. I simply cannot afford to be embarrassed by...

I think I posted here a couple years ago, but the GNutlass is almost done. 88 Cutlass w/ euro nose with 85 GN driveline. I like the 85 setup, but can already tell I'm going to switch to the 87 as funds permit. The car has a GN rear, trans (rebuilt by Lake County Trans, Illionois (aka...

DO I need a special tachometer or can I just use a basic tach and wire the green tach wire to the white ignition ecm wire? I guess what I am asking is do I have to use a special tachometer or somekind of adapter to make a tach work with a GN?

When I start the GNutlass (85 GN) it fires right up. If I shut it off and try to restart, I have to wait at least 20 minutes. Sounds like a coil or ignition module??? This problem just a started after I put a cold air intake on the car and rewired the electric fan. The only rewiring I...

85 Buick GN trans, rear, and engine, all of it transplanted into an 87 Cutlass. everything mechanical is new; engine, trans, turbo (stock rebuilt), rear. Anyway, I suspected the boost was low, and my led boost indicator is on the blink. So I finally installed a mechanical guage. The...

All right, it takes a lot of guts for me to admit the following... My car won't break the tires loose and do a burnout! It's an 88 cutlass w/ the entire 85 GN drivetrain, engine, trans and rear. OK, the trans is not a GN one, but it's in good shape for now and it is a 200 r4. Anyway, the...

Car is in the paint shop and the body guy wants me to find new t-top and door rubber. Email me at jtbrewster@juno.com Thanks, Brew
