i have an gn, w/36 injectors walbro pump,k&n cold air and many other babbles and bolt ons the last day at the track is this sunday so i decided to turn the boost up and i am affraid i may have given it a little too much i'm reading about 25lbs of boost but it's not knocking and the air/fuel...

i have an 86 gn, and i i am having some trouble getting it to run right it typically happens under boost but the car will cut out, the turbo will spit back as if the throttle had been shut and then it will spring back to life again, during that moment the check engine light will flash then go...

octane boost do octane booster's help such as 104plus,nos etc.. or are they all crap

thanks for the tips guys:D

just wondering what a safe amount of boost i can run on pump gas, because the race gas is almost empty and i need to turn it down, to a street level again;)

downpipe the downpipe is the first peice of exhaust coming off the turbo, the factory one has room for improvement the faster you can get the exhaust out the faster the turbo can spool,thus you go faster. so you get a larger downpipe than the stock one to improve flow.

oh by the way it has full hooker exhaust with no cats flows wonderfull

turning up boost i did shorten the rod i good amount like you say enought to make it very hard to get it back on,now this confused me so i went the other way and the boost went down what is going on here

i'm new with my 86 gn but the way i was told to turn up the boost was to turn the rod on the waste gate clockwise one full turn is about one pund of boost, now the gauge before read about 15psi if i was on it so i got some race fuel and wanted to bump it to 20psi, i did this by turning the rod...

well i've had the gn about 4 month's now and i can say for sure this is the most fun i've ever had driving a car granted it doesn't handle as well as a z28 but you really get alot of people pointing saying look a gn holy s**t,and i really like pulling up to the imports they think the car is a...

thanks for the reply i was begining to think i had the only gn in minnesota, i will give them a shout thanks again!

just bought a 86 gn seeing if anyone around the minneapolis area belongs to a club or knows about shows.:)

just checked in the garage it does not have the g80 code only g87 and gq1, i think it's a little weathered. i am new to this car so your saying a car with as much power as this has and a 8 1/2" rear end doesn't have posi?

I own a 86 gn i bought it about 3 month's ago and i am just learning about buick in general. my question is or is it common to see only the right tire burning rubber in my mirror personally i found it a little embarrising,granted the mustang was still in my mirror, but is this a common...

I ASKED THIS QUESTION A MONTH BACK, BUT WENT OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE THE REPLIES. I HAVE A 86 GN WITH AN ADJUSTABLE FUEL PR,HOOKER EXHAUST,CHIP,36# INJECTORS,HOT WIRED PUMP,SLICKS,THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN BUILT WITH A HEEL OF A SHIFT KIT I DON'T KNOW BY WHO SO I DON'T KNOW...

i also forgot to mention the tranny has been built to the max, the cat converter has been removed and I will be using slicks at the track... and, to reply to one of the first questions, no im not racing one, i just bought it, and i was curious of what it was capable of running when the weather...

What would an 86 GN with an adjustable wastegate, hot wire kit, ColdAir, Adj FPR, bluetop injectors 34#, Hooker complete exhaust, and some MT slicks? how much potential does this setup have, and what are some really beneficial upgrades at this point? new here, thats why i ask....

quick question, what exactly is a hotwire kit, and what does it do? is it just supplying more current to the fuel pump? sorry, im new in the gn world.
