Hey guys, I have a bit of a thread going in the General Tech section about this right now, but I figured I would get your personal experiences. As seen here: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117927 The cost of upgrading the injectors for our cars seems pretty...

Ok, I'm taking a serious look at megasquirt ( http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html )to control my buick. I have an 85, and will soon be running out of injector. Unfortunately, to get new injectors there are a lot of things I would need to do. (This is the right way to do things in my opinion...

Hey guys, I just found this. Looks like you can spray this stuff on your plate and stop speed cameras. Even if you don't want it for that reason, you show car people could use it so that your plates aren't circulating the net in pictures. I'm sure someone here has experience with this product...

Hey guys, been a long time. Did a few searches and didn't find the answer to my question. Will the 86/87 turbos fit in the stock location without too many problems? The turbo will be reclocked for a front mount IC, so maybe I should just be asking ahout the hotside of the turbo.

Are there any shorty headers for the 3.8L that weren't designed for turbo applications that can be had for a reasonable price? I plan on moving the turbo location on my hotair car, and could use a set.

Hey guys, thinking of a new project. Might be useful to tow the National with. Because a blow thru carb setup doesnt have a sensor to automatically adjust for a/f would propane work as seamlessly or easily? Because it has a different density than air would I have to inject it below the carb...

I've heard some problems with propane on hot-air cars. These problems supposably origionate because it is injected before the turbo and not after. I have an idea. Assuming that propane doesn't need to be injected too far upstream could I use the bolt hole on the turbo outlet as my injection...

Well, anyone have any ideas or pictures for a good intake adapter? I had one that I put together a while back, and now that I have a vacuum booster I don't have any room for the TB and adapter. On the other hand I'm taking it back to hotair until I get it figured out and I'm going to see...

I found this kit on ebay that claims a drastic increase in mileage using a low pressure, low flow propane system. It claims that it helps your engine burn 100% of the fuel in the combustion chamber. I am aware of these effects with a diesel motor, but is propane really a catalyst for regular...

Allright guys, I'm just about to get the GN back on the road. I kinda did things all backwards because of how prices presented themselves. The car currently is almost completely stock with a powerstroke front mount, relocated TB, 84-85 ecm, upgraded fuel pump and hotwire. I have an 86-87...

A few of my searches here on external wastegates mention people obtaining used deltagates for $60-$75 I can't seem to find any of the sort. I've been keeping an eye on the parts for sale section, but not many of us really seem to run or sell them. Is there another forum or place that I might...

I went intercooled, and am having the notorious wastegate fit problem. An external wastegat is/was looking like my last resort until I was browsing the PTE site and found this picture of a ta-49. http://www.precisionte.com/storeimages/ta49.jpg Now, it looks to me like this setup could...

I'm chasing what I believe to be a ground problem. Through searching and gnttype.org I have learned that the grounds are supposably on the back side of the passenger head, and the bellhousing bolt that also holds the tranny dipstick. My grounds don't seem to be anywhere near those locations...

I have low oil pressure and looks like I'm gonna have to get the main bearings replaced. What is the book value for this on an 85 buick grand national? Thanks guys.

I found a large oil leak from my oil return line off my turbo. Got it all taken care of and started the car. No leak for a little while, then gush ten times worse than before. thought it was the return gasket as thats where I could visibly see the leak. pulled the turbo and noticed the tube was...

I have a fairly large oil leak from what I believe to be the turbo oil return line. Is this line under pressure at all? has anyone had any problems getting them to seal?

Car is really low on oil pressure after warming up. tried all the tricks, now I assume its the main bearings. I have never replaced these before. I know how to install them on a freshly machined block. I guess Ill number the questions. 1. Will I have to get the block line bored? 2. Is...

Allright, I have an 85 Gn. Since I bought it, the volt light would always flicker abit until I tapped on the dash and it would stop. (this is a digital dash. Well, the oil pressure light has always come on after I've gotten it warmed up. To make sure it wasnt like the wolt light I bought a...

I am having problems with my wastegate setup on my 85 GN. At the reclocked angle of my turbo I really cant get my wastegate to hook up correctly. Could I simply hook up a solid rod system and take the wastegate out of the system for now? I need to drive the car to get painted in a week and I...

I would really like to get the stock Hot Air bin. I didn't see it anywhere at gnttype.org. Also anyone that wants to contribute a bin that is free. (not made by a "vendor", but something made by an individual) I would be happy to host the bins on a website if information was given along with...
