    Converter and air cleaner

    Another Buick in the garage

    I love my turbo - but also love the rumble of a V8. Picked up a '69 GS a few weeks ago. I really wanted a 4 speed car, but this was too good of a deal to pass up. 10:1, 0.30 over 455, "Hemi killer 241/326 cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley 850 DP, ceramic coated headers, 4.11 rear. Motor...

    Downsizing vacuum lines

    I am in the process of replacing my vacuum lines with silicone lines. In some cases it just feels like the seal will be better using the next size smaller line. For instance, the line to the MAP sensor from the factory is 6mm, but a 4mm line fits nice and tight. In most cases Thai shouldn't be a...

    Boost issues

    Yet another thread about boost issues.:eek: I have read a lot and tried a number of things, now I need some help. Last year I installed a new 60-1 turbo from Bison and a new RJC 3" dp with large puck. I had boost creep issues (shooting for 24lbs, would get close to 30lbs by the end of the 1/4)...

    GM rebuilt 7BRF question

    I pulled the tranny out to put in a new PTC converter. The previous owner said there was some work done on the transmission. It is labeled as a Service Replacement Transmission Assemble for GM and the ID is not in the "normal" place, nor does it follow the stock sequence. Does anyone know...

    DSE rear sway bar install question

    Just finishing up installing a new rear bar, it seems to be hanging pretty low in the back. I could raise it up by extending the adjustable links, but that would put me a long way from the suggested 3 1/2". I looked for pics of other DSE installs and don't see any low like this.

    Have you seen these?

    Plastic stuck in the frame on each side of my T. They could say SH or HS. Not sure if they were from the factory or someone stuck them in later.

    My first passes

    The 2013 Buick vs Ford event at Noble was my first outing to the track. First run was way less than I expected - 12.78 / 108 with an awesome 1.972 60' :eek:. Made a total of ten runs for the weekend, finally making my best past the last time. Between each run reviewed PL and adjusted boost...

    TH style 3" SS DP, K&N Air filter

    Not sure who made the DP. It's 3" stainless with an O2 bung. It has a few dents, but fit is pretty good. The flange has been ported / enlarged, I assume for a larger turbo. The matching surface is pretty thin on one side because of this. I ran a copper gasket to insure seal. (Included) The face...

    Finally running - any suggestions?

    After a long winter / spring of working on my T (see http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/winter-time-and-cardinal-sin.391311/#post-3203428) Friday night I got to go out and make several WOT passes at the local street drags. Unfortunately there were no lights or timers, but did get several...

    Winter time and cardinal sin

    I can't imagine I am the only one who has had this problem. This is the first winter that I've really had a garage and some re$ource$ to work on my car. I have been reading a ton of stuff here and learning a lot. One thing I have read over and over is - get your car tuned right, add an upgrade...

    Too much endplay?

    Best I can measure, I have 0.026" side play in the turbo shaft. Feels like a lot, not hitting the sides and the IC dry as a bone. Time for a rebuild or new turbo? I was convinced this is a TA49, but some of the pics I see of the compressor blades made me think twice?

    Pypes Install?

    Anyone have pics or feedback doing Pypes exhaust install? Instructions are basic and vague. Definitely not a direct bolt on. Looks like I am going to have to shorten both the y-pipe ends and the front ends of the tailpipes, besides drilling mounting holes for the tail bracket.
