    Nitrous and Water Injection?

    Ok, so I have been running Nitrous on the car for a few years at the track only and realize the benefits of the cool intake charge as well as the additional fuel that gets dumped in. I have been reading a lot about water injection for turbo applications and the benefits of the cool intake charge...

    Time Slips

    Found all the time slips I've made on the car over the years - quite a pile but I don't know the exact count. Found the latest ones with the best run, less Nitrous at 15.930 / 85mph. With the NHRA altitude factor of .9250 for ET and 1.0801 for MPH, it works out to a 14.73 / 92mph. Not too...

    Finally got the car back together...

    Well after like 6 years, I finally got the car back together and started this weekend - even took it for a test drive. I did have some issues with overheating initially, but turns out the radiator was not up to the job and replaced it with a 3 core unit. Now it stays nice and cool. I still have...

    What I've been up to...

    This is what a blown head gasket leads to. I had finished the restoration on the GSX a year prior and the Regal just wasn't up to the same standard. I took a look at the front end and figured now would be a good time to freshen up the suspension, but one thing led to another and my 6 month...

    I'm at the end of my rope!

    Anybody with any experience with installing one of these? I need your help. I havve been trying to get this MSD 6BTM unit to work with the ESC stock setup in the car and am not having any luck.

    Installation of a MSD 6BTM unit

    Anyone have any experience installing an MSD 6BTM ignition/boost timing retard unit on a buick turbo v-6? I recently purchased one of these units and am looking into how it can be installed in conjunction with the original ESC (Electronic Spark Control) unit. It appears as though the module in...

    Rats, I think it's another head gasket.

    Good news, bad news. I just finished sealing some pesky leaks and now it apears as though another head gasket is going south. No milky stuff in the oil, but when driving for any length of time and shuting the car off, the coolant tends to boil and foam out the overflow bottle. That figures, I...

    Hello, I am a new member to this board, but have owned my '78 Turbo Regal Sport Coupe for more than 12 years now. It has been restored and "tweeked" somewhat as well. It is great to see others working with these cars. For a long time I didn't think anyone was playing with these. I am really...
