Hi guys,
Very new to the forum. I have always drooled over these cars but i can now afford to have one. I am looking at two different 1987 T types. My question is which of them is a better car per their build description. Both cars are equally nice in overall condition.
t type 1:
Engine:
3.8 liter V6 (RPO LC2)
Motron 60 lb injectors
PTE-60 turbocharger with adjustable wastegate
212/206 duration camshaft
K&N cold air intake
APR head studs
RJC power plate
RJC boost controller
Duttweiler necked intercooler
Alcohol injection - allows you to run 20 + PSI on 92 octane fuel
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump with fuel pump hot wire
Accufab adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Turbo Tweak 5.7 chip with adjustable timing/fuel curves
Valve cover breather
EGR delete
Transmission:
200-4R 4 speed automatic, BRF (heavy duty)
PTC 2800 lock up converter
Driveshaft loop
B&M trans cooler
OD lockout detent plate
Exhaust:
3 inch mandrel bent straight shot exhaust
3 inch Terry Houston down pipe
Dynomax Ultraflow muffler
Dump pipe
Gauges:
145 mph speedo
Scanmaster - allows you to monitor ECM readings from drivers seat
Autometer boost and fuel pressure gauges
PLX wideband
Brakes and suspension:
Y56 grand touring package
Hydroboost brake conversion
Aftermarket trunk bracing
Aftermarket front jounce braces
Aftermarket underhood brace bars
Bilstein shocks
B&M line lock
Michelin high performance tires
8.5 rear end with 3.42 gears
Posi traction
Front and rear sway bars
10 fin aluminum rims
Interior:
Leather wrapped 3 spoke steering wheel
Bucket seats
Power drivers seat
Center console
Floor shift
Tinted windows
Power windows
Power locks
Tilt wheel
Cruise control
Stereo:
Pioneer DEH-P77DH CD player with built in alarm
Pioneer iPod hook up interface
Polk 3.5 speakers (dash) and Polk 6X9's (rear)
JL Audio 250/1 amp
JL Audio 12 W 3 in sealed box
Other:
Powerlogger - allows you to plug a lap top into ECM and record what the ECM see's - vital in tuning/troubleshooting. Also allows you to change timing and fuel settings
Ashtray switch panel -2 switches: 1 controls line lock, the other turns on electric fan manually
Knock detector - emits a warning beep if engine spark knocks
Field fix harness - allows alternator to charge battery in the event
Steadfast steering column guard - prevents thieves from popping open the steering column to steal car
Runs good and drives good. A/C was replaced last summer, new brakes and master cylinder last winter. The tires are fairly new and don't have many miles on them. Same for the shocks.
T type 2:
Engine:
Block is 30 over with JE pistons, comp cam and lifters. The crank is 010 under with
racing bearings. It has a PT51 Turbo and does spool quickly. It has the big Terry
Houston down pipe with electric cut out, the big Tony De-quick front mount stretch
inter cooler, Hooker Mandrel bent 2.5 exhaust, approved shut-off switch. It has 50 lb.
injectors and has an RJC boost controller. It also has the stainless ATR technologies cold
air intake system. It has a turbo tweak 93 octane chip. It also has the Buick turbo HP
fuel pump with the hot wire harness kit. Has the scan master 2.1. It has a turbo lubber
installed.
It presently has a power steering leak which I am trying to get repaired.
Interior:
All weather stripping has been replaced, carpet has been replaced. The entire interior has
been redone with black and silver leather. The headliner matches with the same scheme.
The trunk has all new carpet.
Exterior:
It has a custom paint which is basically the original color but with the added tastefulness
of lighter ghost flames on the hood and sides. It has a few small door dings but overall is
in good condition.
Tires/Wheels
The car has Centerline wheels coupled with Performance Radials 255/60/15 on the back
and 225/60/15 on the front.
Both cars are about the same price give or take $500-1,000. I am looking for a fast turbo buick that will run at least a 12.6. Which would you prefer and why? T type 1 or t type 2? I am a huge noob when it comes to these cars except for the fact i am certain they look BAD A$$! Please help me out. Much appreciated!
