    Valve springs good after extended storage?

    I now have my GN back on the road after buying it last year from my friend who basically stored it the last 11-12 years. I'm looking forward to taking it to the track soon, she ran 10.70's back in the day on an old school 70 series turbo. Updated now with a Precision 6768, modern boost control...

    Hello All, I have been working the past couple months to get my old friends GN back on the road and most importantly the track! Yes...it now belongs to me. Funny as I was trying to figure out what this Razor kit was and did a search, I now realize Razor/Julio/Alky Control are one and the...

    Best 3" downpipe w/external gate for 6768

    After porting and chamfering the exhaust housing to the maximum I am still having overboost problems. At this point we are convinced that the 39mm wastegate combined with fairly small wastegate piping is the main issue. (We have another DP in the shop we can "borrow" with a 42mm gate and the...

    hood insulator pad (what's the best current options?)

    So I ruined what was left of my OEM hood insulator, don't ask...ugh. It appears our options are limited from my searches. Is my best option a plain pad from GBodyparts? I read some threads where people used a silk screen shop for the graphics, any info on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Rick

    Is this turbo oil return/drain config OK? (pics)

    We have been going through this 87' GN that I just purchased and am unsure about the following drain/return installation. As you can see the drain line has a loop (like a plumbing P-trap) and then terminates into I believe a mechanical fuel pump boss. While nicely plumbed I am unsure if this...

    Advice for low 10's (shocks/tires) needed

    Back into Buick's after 15 years off. Intro in the intro section. I want to update the GN I just bought and have been reading your combos. The car I bought ran 10.73@129 ten years ago for the previous owner. It came with the ten year old bias ply 28x10.5's and 26x4.5 MT fronts. Also has a...

    Back for more! (LONG intro)

    Back for another round of Buick fun after buying a friends GN today! I had a 87' Turbo T Limited between 98'-2001 if I recall, and yes I was on this forum. I like to mod and went through broken 200r4's more often than I could afford at the time. Ran 12.17@109 on stock injectors, intercooler...
