Due to unforseen circumstances I am selling my baby. A 1986 Buick T-Type turbo with t-tops. 130k on the body. 2000 mi. on new engine, 600 miles on the turbo. The list of mods are as follows:
• 231 V-6 STOCK BLOCK, BORED .030 OVER, BUILT 2K AGO BY JIM BUREK OF PAE ENTERPRISES OF EL PASO, TX
• COMP CAMS 212/212 FULL ROLLER CAM KIT
• DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING CHAIN
• TRW FORGED PISTONS, CERAMIC COATED, DEBURRED AND DRY FILMED SKIRTS
• TOTAL SEAL PISTON RINGS
• PORTED & POLISHED STOCK IRON HEADS, COMP VALVE JOB, STOCK SIZED VALVES, CERAMIC COATED COMBUSTION CHAMBERS
• RJC RACING ROCKER ARM REINFORCERS (BILLET ALUMINUM)
• 62MM THROTTLE BODY W/ MODIFIED UPPER PLENUM
• RJC POWERPLATE
• MEASE STAINLESS STEEL POLISHED 3IN. DOWN PIPE W/ INTEGRAL WASTE GATE AND DUMP TUBE
• MSD DIS-4 CAPACITIVE DISCHARGE IGNITION W/ 8.5MM MSD WIRES
• PTE-52 TURBO W/ .62 A/R HOUSING FROM Precision Turbo (Polished)
• TH400 SWITCH PITCH TRANSMISSION W/ SHIFT KIT, EXTRA CLUTCHES (1400 LO-STALL/ 4000 HI-STALL) STALL CONVERTOR REPLACED 500 MILES AGO. ALSO BUILT BY PAE ENTERPRISES
• SMC ALCOHOL INJECTION SYSTEM W/ BOTTLE UPGRADE AND DUAL NOZZLE KIT.
• MSD 50LB INJECTORS
• WALBRO 307 FUEL PUMP, HOT WIRED
• BILLET ADJUSTABLE FUEL REGULATOR
• PORTED STOCK INTERCOOLER
• HIGH EFFICIENCY RADIATOR FROM NICK MICALE
• CHROME 4IN BIG MOUTH COLD AIR KIT W/ 9IN K&N FILTER
• BIGGIE OIL FILTER RELOCATION KIT W/ EXTERNAL TURBO PROVISION FROM PRECISION TURBO
• TRANSLATOR PLUS FUEL MANAGEMENT/ TIMING BOX W/ EXTENDER CHIP FOR ALCOHOL INJECTION.

• SCANMASTER II ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
• NEW EATON POSI W/ 3.42 GEARS
• UNDERDRIVE PULLIES
• COTTONS 3IN SINGLE SHOT, MANDREL BENT EXHAUST.
• ASSORTED CHROME ENGINE PARTS.
Now for the problems. Boost will only get to 6lbs. Looks like the wastegate puck doesnt seal correctly. I would put a new down pipe.
Overheats. Ive narrowed it down to either the radiator cap or the fans are not working enough. Compression is fine and the headgaskets are fine.
I am asking 6000 obo. You can email me directly at fkeene@carolina.rr.com for any questions. Pics can be seen at
