Sold to #1 in line. Thanks for your interest.

PM replied, but no answer for a couple of days now. If nothing by tomorrow, I will repost their availability.

4 Volumes Chassis Service Manual (vol 1 and 2), Electrical Diagnosis Manual, and Body Service Manual. NOT in the GM binders. NOT in new condition. *Bonus* Buick Power Source book, published by Buick Motor Division covers the details of building a performance Buick V-6 engine: Cylinder...

It's still for sale. I still drive it daily. I would drive it anywhere.

* Reduced Price * Now $6,400 Car is now back on the market and a greatly reduced $6400. Since the original posting a year + ago, I have put on new tires all around and a new set of ball joints (upper and lower). I need a tow vehicle for a tent trailer, and this is NOT IT!

You even got pictures of my heap in there. BTW, it's still for sale. Now only $6800!! See the write up at: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/cars-sale/315920-1987-turbo-t-socal-7-000-a.html

* Price Reduced * I had this for sale in December, but pulled it off the market when I moved. Relisted at a $500 discount. 1987 Turbo T in Oceanside CA $7,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T. Grey exterior...

I've got one I could put on, but I don't like the sound. Too much drone. At my level of street performance, the cat is not holding me back. The California crap gas is. I put an adjustable wastegate on to turn the stock boost down.

Finally Passed! :) Fixing the EVRV did the trick. 15mph @ 1567rpm: %CO2=14.30 %O2=0.48 HC=21 (max 110) CO=.00 (max 0.72) NO=255 (max 772) 25mph @ 1946rpm: %CO2=14.40 %O2=0.34 HC=20 (max 85) CO=.00 (max 0.59) NO=262 (max 711)

RobS: Thanks for the heads up on the Extender chip. That explains something I saw yesterday. I put the vacuum gauge on and drove with the Extender. No vacuum at all. Then I switched to a Thrasher chip. Good vacuum readings. The chip I take in to smog with is not the Extender, and I...

OK, I think I found the problem. I tried to "T" in a vaccum signal line from the 'Electronic Vacuum Regulator Valve" [that's what it's called; I looked it up]. When I pushed a vacuum line on, the top of the EVRV basically fell backwards! WTF?! The EVRV has 2 major sections held together...

I put a vacuum pump to the egr port at idle. The engine stumbled as expected when vacuum was applied. That's about all I know to do to test the egr. I guess that doesn't prove that the electronic controller box is working. I can "T" in a vaccum gauge to the line between the egr controller and...

Failed Again :mad: 15mph @ 1566rpm: %CO2=14.40 %O2=0.34 HC=17 (max 110) CO=.01 (max 0.72) NO=1653 (max 772) [even WORSE than last time!] 25mph @ 1153rpm: %CO2=14.52 %O2=0.22 HC=13 (max 85) CO=.00 (max 0.59) NO=590 (max 711) In California, cars this old must go to "Check Only" stations...

:confused: Walker 3" in-n-out. I supposed it's the old style.

Got a new cat put in. I'll run half my full tank out to burn off the coating on the brick, then take it back for the test. Thanks for all the input, and I'll let you know the results later in the week.

Due to smog issues (explained in the smog forum), I have pulled out some old chips. One was a Thrasher with anti-theft. Since I have removed my Extender and modern MAF and put in the old-style stock MAF, I pulled out the Turbo Tweak chip too and put in the old Thrasher. Its idle is...

charlief1: I would actually prefer to run a clean car, so I'll take your advice as a last resort. Nick: Thanks, for your confidence in the rest of my car. I will replace the cat first. Any suggestions on where to buy a new one? I'll put it on myself.

My O2 sensor is probably due for replacement, any effect on NOx?

My high mileage daily driver failed badly. Almost double the NO allowed. Here are the gory details: 15mph @ 1520rpm: %CO2=14.40 %O2=0.47 HC=44 (max 110) CO=.01 (max 0.72) NO=1476 (max 772) 25mph @ 1152rpm: %CO2=14.37 %O2=0.57 HC=35 (max 85) CO=.01 (max 0.59) NO=1051 (max 711) The...

The original seat covers were fabric and getting pretty worn. So when I took it in and looked at both vinyl covers and fabric covers. Since I was having trouble making up my mind the shop owner suggested a vinyl/fabric combo, so I chose that. Wish it were a better story, but that's how it...
