2021 Season is here!

[Turbo6inKY]

Good news! I just signed my Buick up for the KYSCCA Regional Time Trial May 15-16 at NCM in Bowling green.

Also geared up to run the Probe again in the Optima series, and now it's proper. The car matches my screen name finally:

211 HP doesn't sound like much, but it's a 50% increase over stock and the car only weighs 2900 with me in it. It should be enough to start passing some people.

Where in BG ??

Exit 28, just on the other side of the highway from the Corvette Museum.

Good luck this season - with both cars.
Looks like you've been busy

Hey... my garage has a black turbo V6 car near a white turbo V6 car too

It turned out great! I watched some of the install videos too. Thanks for posting.

What’s next, E85 and #40 boost? Wink wink. I can’t wait.

That'd be fun, but sadly, the transmission can't take much more. 211 wheel is about 250 crank, and that's the upper limit to reliability on this little Mazda five speed.

I wondered. I figured there was a weak link somewhere, it’ll still be a blast!

^^^ and that engine with nearly 1/4 million miles could take the 40# of boost???

Well, I blew the Probe up.

So, the Buick's back in action.

Optima at AMP this weekend, here's my best autocross run from today.

Took a lot of runs to put it together, and the data tells me I left at least two seconds out there.

You blew up the WTF?

 

[Turbo6inKY]

You blew up the WTF?

I cut the block in half

I think the engine I got to replace the original - which being a 1994 has a forged crank and rods - was a 1998 or newer, which had cast guts, and it snapped a rod.

Huge fire. Giant. Dunno if we can salvage it yet. Haven't had time to tear into it yet.

OUCH!
