Some updated info on the GN.
87 GN 58k miles
Ive already added an auburn pro diff
Hemco
TT alky chip with 60# injectors
5 In Dp
255 walbro

PS.. this is a rust free two owner Buick Grand National. Other then the typical bumper fillers this is an awesome platform to start with


On order is a transbrake and Alky Kit.:six:

[Keller]

Shift actuated as opposed to mechanical, I assume.

[PaCemkr86]

Im not sure on which transbrake we are going to use yet.

[Ts86ttype]

Phil, What is your ultimate plan??? Great running and performing street and a trip to the track once in a while??? Looks like a great project car... Good luck... Tom G :tup:

[PaCemkr86]

In all honestly we are gonna push the stock motor as far as it will go.. 10 sec :drive:passes are what im shooting for.. Then start building a real engine.
It will be a street driven car :swerve:, with a HIGH PSI tune and alky.

[DQ87]

Alky should be on order by this weekend. And now fuel pump as well since it is not working again

first road test in over 2 years.
More to come !! Im just getting started

[kenmosher]

Look out pooch!

A little boost = a LOT less rubber! :) :lmao:

[PaCemkr86]

don't worry matching wheels, bumper fillers and paint are on the "to do list" :werd:

[DQ87]

Yeah they sure before its dubbed the toothless wonder

[PaCemkr86]

update.. first trip to the track
12.70 @ 116
2.5 60ft.. The stock converter is killing it. Wouldnt build any boost at the line.
Will post some videos in a new thread later

Turbo buicks getting rdy to match race

[Keller]

Like the prop rod. :tup:

Turbo looks pretty big. What is it?

[PaCemkr86]

Like the prop rod. :tup:

Turbo looks pretty big. What is it?
Prop rod =1/2 flex head breaker bar
Turbo = PT61
Car still has stock converter and intercooler, only mod done to the engine is a hemco plenum

[Keller]

The 116 is pretty strong. Once the converter and all get sorted out, there should be no problem getting quickly down into the low 11s.

Still with stock IC right now?

[PaCemkr86]

Yes using stock intercooler but lots of alky

[larrym]

The down pipe is sick!

[PaCemkr86]

This car is off the back burner and we are working on it again, Now we have 3 turbo buicks in my area and these guys are interested in working on their cars again. :six::pat::six:

[JAMIEPACURN]

Phil,


Are you building a monster under the hood Phil??? Is this going to be set up for all out race or strictly for the streets???


Jamie C.

[PaCemkr86]

Its gonna be a street able car.. shooting for low 11's high tens with a pump gas/alky tune .. and most important Transbrake

[turbopowered68]

good to see that your back now get moving
