Hey y'all Just figured I'd throw it in here that I am selling my 1981 Buick Regal. It has been transplanted with a 1984 Buick Grand National interior and drivetrain. Even has the GN trunk and hood. It's a very complete vehicle and can be used as something to drive itself, or you could rip it...

Selling a 1981 Buick Regal. The vehicle is slightly different than the average Buick Regal as it has been transplanted with a variety of the turbocharged options. The entire drivetrain has been swapped over to the turbocharged system. That includes the motor, transmission and rear that came...

What are the stock belt sizes for our Grand Nationals? Gotta replace mine (They make ugly noises since they are old). Thanks! -Saladin

Hey guys What electric fans off other cars can be bolted onto our cars without any problems? I know someone I saw about a year ago had a Lincoln fan in their's. Curious if anybody else has had luck with others. And wondering also, how much do these suckers usually go for? I'm want to get...

Hey guys I am starting to notice after the past couple of days that when I try to start my 84 up, sometimes I hear like a clicking noise. As if the starter doesn't want to start the car up or something. And then on another occasion it took it a little longer than usual to start the car up. In...

I was just wondering what people think about this. Curious if it's a stupid idea or not. I've got 2 cars. The Regal and a my 96 Chevy Cavalier beater. It's just broken 100,000 miles and I bought it like 4-5 months ago. Anyway, the current hub caps on it are crap. Cracked, etc. Anyway, while...

Anybody have pictures of their hotair's running down the track/in general? I've just noticed that we see so much of the 86/87 car video's on youtube/streetfire doing awesome runs. Just curious if any of our guys have video of their hotair's making some runs down track. If you do, post it...

Is anybody else starting to feel tired of this winter? I'm sitting here looking at my Turbo Buick everytime I come home and just thinking, "Dang, I can't wait until this snow/ice/salt is off the roads and I can go drive it." I'm just getting tired of all this cold weather. Want to do stuff and...

Hey all I want to make the conversion to the 86/87 top end. As I've read, it is basically switching around everything on the top end of the motor. So what I want to know is what parts I should pick up to get this done. I know that G-bodyparts sells the kits, but that costs 2800. I've heard...

Hey everyone Its been awhile since I've really been on here and I figured that I'd come back to sort of ask for a little bit of brainstorming help. I know in the past I spoke of intercoolers and the like. But to be honest, I've become far more interested in really building up the engine that...

Hey y'all I have a 'T-Type' and basically I'm starting to get all the audio stuff together. I've got two back speakers given to me by another GN owner. They are 4x10's. I just bought a Jensen radio unit. A VM8013, this thing is AWESOME. Never thought I'd be able to find something like that...

Hey y'all I thought I had all the issues fixed with the car. For a couple of days the vehicle was fine, running great/etc. Well, I was taking it down to my neighboors house to put it up on ramps for an oil change when all of a sudden as we're backing it into his driveway, the car cuts off...

Hey guys I've been trying to take down my last issue with my car. Yesterday I had a MAGNA (Mid Atlantic Buick Grand National Association) member come over and help me out with the car. He owns a hotair vehicle as well and helped me with some tweaking with it to find out what the heck is...

Hey y'all I've finally sort of nailed all of my issues with this car. Except for this last one. I pulled the catalytic convertor off, because I thought maybe that it was clogged and causing backpressure up in the motor. Well, it turns out there's no catalyst in the Catalytic convertor...

Well, for the longest time I have had issues with my car. I've had a high idle and a missfire issue. (AT least I think its a miss) Anyway. When I get the car on, it immediately is at 3000 rpm's. Now some people tell me my Tach is wrong, but who knows. It just is high, and I know that. I tried...

What's the firing order on our 84's? I can't seem to find it anywhere and desperately need the information... Why do I have a feeling people are laughing at me as I write this? :rolleyes: Thanks...

Hey guys As many of you know, I have a high idle issue with my vehicle. I checked the EGR and it's not working correctly. It's not going up and down, and I'm not getting suction out of it. It's finished. The question is, would the EGR itself cause the rpm's to shoot up to 3000-4000 rpm's...

Where is the throttle body on a 1984 Hotair motor? Inside the intake? To get to it do I have to pull of the intake? I'm trying to fix a high idle issue and I think that this, on top of the 02 sensor, may be the issue at hand. Thank you for your help.

I had this question going around in my head lately. Everybody always talks about alcohol injection. And I'm sure that its great for the 50HP that it gives you since you're able to do so much more with it. But there's got to be a way to get a good high 12 second car without alcohol injection...

Hey guys I managed to get my car starting up and driving again since putting in the crank sensor. But I've still got the problem that the motor idles like crap and it runs rich. What can I do to fix this problem? Also, when it's idling like crap, it sorta turns side to side in the engine...
