Amazing someone else just posted this issue. I took my GN out saturday. It has a stock converter in it.. It has a very LIGHT whine when I power brake the car.. Its something that just started.. I was also wondering if it was in the tranny or converter.. Car shifts hard and pulls good..Does not...

Im running one of Reds 107 chips in the car. I dont have a way to add fuel to it. The converter gain my buddy got was in the 1/4 , I should have mentioned that. I would hope to get a full .3 in the 1/8. I went to a couple extremes on the tires because I only had time to make several passes. They...

Im still running the same 23 lbs of boost, Car will launch on 8 lbs now without spinning the tires with 20 lbs in them. Any more and it drives through the brakes. O2 is high 790s mv. Car seems to lose a tenth when the coolant temp is above 180 * hotlapping the car which isnt too shabby. Im...

Okay guys. After a few weeks of Well Needed rain here in TN, Which of course fell on Friday nights so I couldnt race at the track,I finally got the car out with the 235 M/T drag radials to make a few passes.. As you recall earlier on the post my 60' was a 2.0 that dropped to a 1.71 and the car...

Heres the thread I made thanking Peter for his awesome Radiator I bought from this board a week ago.. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/general-turbo-buick-tech/261271-awesome-radiator-red-c5.html

I replied that it was the same size as stock, Except the core is the same width as the tanks, On the stock one the core is an inch less than the tanks. If you are trying to fit it for something else, I can get the actual measurements for you later,, Let me know..

If that car ran a .33 leaving up on the bumper like that, its got teens in it..

This one has (2) 1 -1/4" rows. Peter keeps them in stock, The tanks are maybe a touch wider than my stock one and the core is the width of the tanks . I would guess its specific to the GN since its a direct fit drop in. The only thing that isnt EXACTLY the same as my stock one was that the two...

Ok guys. Here it is installed.

I thought about painting mine, But I figured why dampen any of the aluminums heat disapating ability with paint.. Im going out to shoot a few pics to keep the natives from getting restless ;)

I just wanted to thank Peter (REDC5) for hooking me up with the new Aluminum radiator for the 87. Packaging was EXCELLENT and the the radiator is a sweet looking and working piece. Bolted right up using all my stock lines etc, he returned my calls quickly and got the unit shipped in plenty of...

Please keep us posted on what this does for your car. Im very likely going to order the same one..

You can buy Powermaster stuff direct from them. I have had them put a serpentine pulley on rather than a Vbelt.

Im with Alvarog, .028-.030 with that much boost..

Dusty, Im told by one of the board TRANNY GURUs that you should leave in 1st or 2nd and do the 3rd shift manually because in 1 and 2 theres an extra band engaged in the tranny and it will last longer.. If you just put it in DRIVE and launch it doesnt have the reverse band locked .. Is this...

I wish I could TURN MY BOOST DOWN to run 7.20s :D But on the subject. Dusty recommended the same converter for my car to run mid 7s.. As soon as I get this radiator issue resolved. A PTC from him is mostly likely my next upgrade..

Okay. Looking at the Methanol injection kits as an option as apposed to running the Sunoco 110 Im currently running. Im wondering HOW MUCH it is currently selling for , and HOW MUCH you actually consume on a weekend of racing lets say you get in 10-15 passes at the track and do a bit of...

As another NEWBIE to the Turbo Buicks. Ive been surfing as many sights as possible. Heres one section of the TTYPE board I think will help with this particular question for you.. 86-87 Turbo 3.8 Liter Engine Sensors

I have always looked at OIL as a very "temporary" neccessity. By this I mean, the more often you make that oil change the better. Oil is by its very design a temporary cushion for your engine. It breaks down with heat and is less effective over time . Then toss contaminants into the mix.. WOO...

Well look in the bright side. You have a well serviced return system now and everything is good with your engine.. Glad it worked out for you. Not to mention I learned where all the problem issues are with a return line..
