I’m wanting to do a turbo 3.8 swap into my 72 nova. I have about $1000 to spend so I’m guessing probably a hot air? I can possibly come up with a little more or work a trade for guns plus cash? Not sure what the intetcooled engines are going for these days? I’m in quakertown PA 18951 and don’t...

Well, been a while since I've been on the Buick forums but some times things come full circle. In June or July I'll be looking for another turbo Buick. I'll have $10k to spend firm and when I sold my 87 in maybe '05 that money could get you a decent car it seemed. Fast forward to now and it...

Well it's been a long time since I've had any turbo buicks but I have been kind of looking around a little lately. A friend of mine last night told me about someone he knows who has a gnx for sale for $12k. Of course the first words out of my mouth were "it's a regular gn". He swears to me that...

It's been a very long time since I've been on here, and since I've owned a turbo buick for that matter. It's NOT going to be a daily driver, but driving it on the street every once in a while is good (I can inspect it myself so it doesn't need emissions stuff like cats etc to be street legal)...

Well I know this is a buick forum, but since I've sold my buicks and have bought a cough **ford** cough I want to turbo it. It's a VERY VERY VERY slow 98 gt, 4.6, with an auto. I only want something that can give me about 280-300ish RWHP without boosting the crap out of it. Maybe something like...

Well I'm looking to trade my 95 pontiac firebird formula (a4) for a supercharded 3.8 w body. Pics and mods: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2401983 I'm located in Hellertown PA 18055 (near allentown). Let me know what you got!

Well as I stated in another post I thought it would be a cool idea to see if we could get a list together of mods and the times that are possible with them. That way instead of just throwing mods at a car and half a$$ tuning it we can get a better idea of what we are shooting for. Then after we...

Well like the title says, I'm looking for another turbo buick. I want to trade my 95 formula for one. I'm actually leaning more towards trading for a HA car (I really miss my old one). I'm in eastern PA. Here's the link to my car...

Wanting to trade my formula for either a very nice 84-85 t/gn or a decent 86-87 t/gn. My car has just under 77k on it, automatic. It's a bolt on car. Paint is pretty good (mystic teal), a few scratches etc. No big dents or rust or anything. New alternator and starter. No real problems with it...

I know this has been asked before but I searched and really nothing came up. Just looking for any links, info, or anyone who has done a swap. I have a 95 formula (lt1/auto) but I really miss owning turbo 3.8's :( I like the styling of both cars and I know it would be easier to sell the formy...

Alright, my neighbor has 2 87 gn's and was driving his higher mileage one. It has 13X,XXX miles on it and basically stock except for a chip and 009's. It broke down on him and won't start now. He asked me to look at it and here's what I found out: My neighbor was driving and at very little...

I am probably building a turbo kit for my carbed 350 and I was wondering if a stock intercooled turbo would be enough for it. I'm not looking to build a race car but just a little more then it's got not. It's a pretty mild 350 with a small cam, and pocket ported heads. Compression is...

but I figured this might work. If not just move it ;) Anyways I want to put a turbo on my 86 z28 that I converted to carbed. The compression is in at a MEAN 8.2:1-8.4:1 :D so I figured a turbo would be awesome on this car. What I don't know is how do you carbed guys get all the extra fuel? I'm...

Well I was wondering if there is any negative effects of disconnecting the TCC on a 700r4 trans besides the gas mileage? I got my search working again and came across a post where russ merrit said this "Don't unplug it! The trans will over heat as the L/U actually allows the fluid to the cooler...

My search function still doesn't work when I put more then 2 words in it. So here goes...I'm putting a carbed 350 in my 86 camaro with the stock 700r4. I won't be running the computer anymore and don't really feel like spending over $120 for a lock up conversion. I found a way to make one myself...

Does anyone know what prongs go where with these? Like which is 12v-, 12v+,signal,and whatever else comes from it. I'm going to see if I can hook one of these up to my car (98 GTP) for use of a knock gauge.

I was wondering if there is any way to make the DIY knock indicator on gnttype into one more like the caspers with multiple LEDs for severity instead of just one. Anyone have any ideas?

I was talking to someone on another board and they had this idea. I was wondering if anyone had any direction to start something like this or if someone already did it and there are schematics around somewhere? This is for a GTP. Well here's what he wrote: I want some way to add timing when the...

Well I had someone email me with an 85 turbo rivera. I never looked into these much. Anyone have any specs on them? From what I remember it's basically the same as a hot air GN or T, but a little bigger exhaust side of the turbo? What do they typically run in the 1/4 compared to the regals...

Well I don't know exactly where to put this but here seems good as place as any ;) I am putting together a DIY knock indicator (off gnttype), and confused about which way to install the diode. There is a symbol kinda like this >l on the diagram. Which way does the diode face? TIA
