Hey I was wondering if anyone has tried out the HellFire torque converters for the 2004R yet and what kind of results you had with them...

I was wondering how many Turbo Regal owners out there who would be interested in buying a converted park avenue digital cluster like the one I installed in my buddy's Turbo-T: http://dtcc.cz28.com/87turbot/parkave.htm What I would do is buy a few of these up from the junkyard as well as some...

Hey, found out that GM did use a virtually identical digital dash to the one I installed in 6-fitz's Turbo-T out of an 87 Park Avenue... Seems as tho one from an 87 Buick Skylark looks identical except for the fact it does not have the PRNDL gear selection indicator under the speedo. This...

Ok, first I need to know if any of you who are running the comp grinds for the 3800 series II engines have experienced any mechanical failures that were cam related. There was some talk about this back when these cams were first tested that they were failing causing catastrophic damage to the...

If you are not familiar with the 87 Buick Park Avenue digital cluster, I offer a short description: It sports a vacuum florecent display manufactured by General Instrument which is about the same size as a typical GN's speedo cluster minus boost and rpm led gauges. This does not include the...

I was wondering if anyone has tried running a $58 ECM in a turbo buick on here... When considering the expense of a "good" MAF translator, and the lack of processing power of the $t31 ECM, plus the fact that I already have the typhoon computer, chip, and programming ability for it, I would...

We were able to mount the intercooler low enough to clear the bulk of the headerpanel leaving only minor clearance issues but retain the high beam headlamps... click here for more info: http://dtcc.cz28.com/87turbot/index.htm

Well, being less than 50 miles from lingenfelter, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Last weekend, a yellow C5 showed up on the scene with the $23,000 550rwhp kit installed. Local guy w/ C4 w/ N20 couldn't hang because of N20 problems. My GN Turbo friends need to get their cars together...

Anyone find the parameter for VSS calibration in the $5b system for 94-95 supercharged 3800 GM computers? Also could use information on the location of the DTC code enable for TCC Slip code. Having trouble w/ 3800 SC and 4T60-E w/ 3.33 final dirve. Keep getting a DTC for TCC Slip and then I...

I was surfing the grand prix store site and noticed that the xtreme energy cams have been released for the 3800 II and SC engines. According to the specifications supplied, valve lift for both cams is over .500" w/ 1.6 rockers. Also, there are no springs available either. Last time I went...

I was wondering if GM was ever going to put forged rods in the 3800. The easy way to tell is to look at the rods from the side. If there is a thin (about 1/16" wide) parting or "casting" line that runs the entire length of the rod, it is cast. Typically the forged rod will have a harder to...

I have just received the definition file to do series 1 supercharged 3800's today and am pleased to report there is a weath of items that can be altered. I am beginning my quest to retrofit my friend's 87 T-Type to a '95 SC 3800 computer system. So far the changes that need to be made include...

Anyone know of where to get aftermarket FORGED rods to replace the CAST factory ones that came in the 3800 Series II Supercharged engine?

Anyone working with these systems yet? Found a 17x17 table between hex address $001F and $013E but car wouldn't start after minor changes were made. Just wondering if anyone has been working with these systems.

Was looking at some information on the GP store website last week concerning the soon-to-be-released aftermarket cams for the 3800 II and SC engines. However, there is no trace of them on the site this week. I need to know what the gross valve lift will be using stock rockers in case I have to...

Does anyone have a pic of the SC connecting rods for this engine? I have been trying to contact TEP, but they don't return any calls or emails. I would like to build up my 3800 II NA for a GN turbo, but don't want to spend money on factory SC rods if they are cast like mine. Need to know...

I am planning on adidng a Turbo to my Fiero 3800 II down the road and have recongnized the need for the L67 rods and pistons. I guess the rods are the major component needed since I will probably use new pistons anyway. Any ideas where to find them?
