Hi people, I had this in the electrical section but it's not getting any action so I thought I'd post here. Please read the thread :) http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/electrical-wiring/364093-security-light.html

Hello, I don't remember this being correct... My security light flashes when I shut off the car which is normal. But when I close the door it stays flashing? And if I touch the lock switch it stays on which is normal as well. But when I close the door is still stays on. When I unlock the...

Hi guys, I thought I had a turbo lined up for my 80 - off an 83 but it doesn't seem to be panning out. I have a few questions and would like some advice. Are there any good '83 turbo's out there for sale? How much $$ shipped to 58329? How much performance gains are there over the stock '80...

I was hunting for some rims for my 80 Sport Coupe and found these 2 hours away. Went in and saw them, bought them for $200, brought them home and realized one of them is smaller than the others :mad: Can somebody please confirm what they are off of? I was told 84 T-Type. Also what the...

Hello. I've tried searching but can't find any information. I'm replacing my flex plate and noticed there are number stamped on it. Are the numbers stamped on it supposed to determine the position that it bolts onto the crank? Thanks

Hi guys, fairly self explanitory ;) So far launching off trans brake at 0 psi - 60' is mid 1.60's. Right now I have the boost controller stage 1 set at 12 psi on the trans brake - but didn't have the balls to hold it to the floor and let go of the button...lol... I plan on upgrading the axles...

Hi guys, I was playing with my car in the garage working other bugs out... when I realized it wasn't idling very good. So I plugged in the laptop and realized whenever the fan cut in the air fuel went up to 15's and 16's - and it starts running crappy. Then when the fan cuts out the AFR goes...

Hello, I have a single nozzle alky kit from Razor. I just installed pressure transducers for alky and fuel pressure so I can monitor and log on powerlogger. Can you please tell me what pressures I should be seeing on the alky side? Or what to watch for? Thanks Darren

Hi guys, to set the table I've suspected my transmission of causing kr on the 1-2 shift. I am seeing 15* of kr on the 1-2 shift. I've been through the car looking for other reasons. The WOT shifts were 5850. So the other night I backed off the tv cable and @ 12 # of boost it shifted at 5350...

Talk about a major piss off :mad: Parked my car last fall for the winter - running fine. This spring I had the car painted - and just got it back together. Took it out tonight for the first ride of the year and it wouldn't build any boost. Brought it home and took off the MAF pipe to find...

Hello, I had stripped my car down to have it painted - including the doors and windows. While apart I replaced the door pins and bushings. Then to top it all off I installed new GM weatherstripping around the doors and windows. I didn't remove the fenders. So first I put the doors on and was...

Here is a video of what my car is doing - hope it works :) Perhaps this should be in the transmission section? If so sorry... You'll see 15* of KR just stabbing the throttle in park, but in neutral it's fine. Also seeing KR on the 1/2 shift when under moderate boost and up. New (rebuilt)...

So the turbo seal(s) are shot on my 80 and I was planning on pulling the turbo and having it rebuilt - or something... But then I saw some new turbo's on ebay for around $150. Does anybody have any advise about them? And if so what would work good with a stock 4bbl setup? Thanks DS

Hi guys, I've read a lot of posts about the above. Do any vendors actually sell a nice clean system? Thanks D

Hi guys, I'm ordering a bunch of parts to be ready for when my car comes back from paint to be re-assembled. I broke my hood emblems, so I see GBodyParts.com has them for $49 (possibly each?) and Kirban's has them for $20/pair. Am I missing something? Thanks D

Well, the 24 year old lacquer paint is finally going to get replaced! I plan to remove the doors, and have done some searching... I've removed the glass and psgr side remote mirror. I've read that the wires leading to the power windows can be removed at the motor. Does the motor need to be...

Here are my last 2 - 1/4 mile passes from last weekend. Something's banging on the 1/2 shift - which I need to find. However my main concerns are: -KR at the top of 3rd. Rich knock? -After the burnout it wants to stall. Drives and normally runs fine. Running 110 Octane fuel, alky knob set...

Hello, I've been getting my alcohol from a friend who runs it in his car and 2 jr. dragsters. He says it's 99.99% pure alcohol with some top end lubricant in it. Is there any chance that the top end lubricant could take away from the effectiveness? Thanks Darren

Hi guys, I'm looking to hit the track finally this weekend and I was wondering about a few things. How do others set up the powerlogger to record passes? What tps reading do you set it at? What if it starts recording while doing a burnout? Will it still record the pass? Or will it need to...
