I agree I seem to agree with the rest of what everyone's saying. I have seen this on other hotair TR's when the Compressor was removed or replaced. But first id make sure the pulley's are in good shape. How much tension is being applied to the belt when its first tightened? man this is the...

hey HI Nick, Haven't driven my car in a year and a half. I am getting the whole body restored and repainted.. hope it woke cost my a small fortune, but I figured it was time considering it was all original. got new door skins for it and having whatever rust was appearing cut out and new metal...

Hey Nick! long time no chat! I have been a complete stranger to the channel for the last few months.. finally finished school, and got myself a fulltime job! why are you selling your V2 kit? got bigger and better plans for the buick?

I went to the local parts shop and I got the right hose, exactely what I had on before... not sure if that makes any difference being in Canada... Place is called Piston Ring. They are very good with parts for me..:) Nick soryr bout your tranny. how did it blow? Didn't you have it rebuilt...

Yes it has one! The Pcv valve is located on top the intake manifold on the drivers side in the back.. It sits in a rubber o ring, so careful when you remove it. If its been there awhile the whole rubber o-ring might come out with it when you try pulling. Usually theres dirt and debris around...

ooooh, nice pics man!! the V2 kit is sweet. I am looking at going front ount with mine to see if i get any good gains from it. love the plumbing too! :cool:

Exactely what was said. Keep the maintanance up and they'll be good to you.. I kept my car basically stock for the first 4 years I had it. Driveability was excellent. Stock for on stock boost, will last you forever! It's when you start trying to make it go faster is when it starts giving you...

Hey do you have any pics of the motor the way it is not? Would like to see what it looks like.

Although I have the turbomotion intercooler kit it works the same way as the Js one. I also get that big turbo sneeze when I let off the gas. at first I had no idea what it was. but I remember driving an intercooled 87 TR an it did the same thing. It is a wicked sound. When you let off whoever...

That install looks sweet! looks like it could have been like that from factory. I love my turbomotion kit, but man the layout of that is sweet! :cool:

That cable looked to be the cruise control cable that connects to the throttlebody, but im not sure form the pic exactely as it was not too clear. I think everyone covered everything else! :cool:

Is it possible the bottom bracket was for the throttle? I am not sure how much the bracket differs from th turbomotion one. But on mine the very bottom bracket is for the accellerator cable, and the very top was for the cruise. The cruise cable is longer has more travel... Maybe the bottom one...

You're Selling your GN?!?!:eek: Why? Anyways I find up here where im at, hotair gn/ttypes are selling for good money. Last year I was offered $8,500 cdn dollars for it, and it needs a paint job. They seem to be going for good money these days. And yours is a beauty so u should get good...

TTypeRiv: just a quick question. I looked at your car pics on cardomain, and I am impressed with the setup. Just curious as to how it ran and performed with the stock hotair turbo? Was it pretty quick?:D

I agree with Brad and the hooker system. I too bought the hooker catback 2.5" exhaust system and I noticed a huge inprovement. I got an extra 3 psi boost from bolting it on. ATR makes a good exhaust system as well for turbo regals, however if you change your downpipe as well as the exhaust, you...

Hey there welcome to the board! could you give a few more details about your problem? How exactely do you have to keep it running? what are the exact symptoms of the car and what is it doing?

Congrats Nick! sounds pretty mean! Have you taken it out for a spin yet? Hope you get some good numbers with that new heartthrob!:p

Wow this is getting pretty heated! Pretty well I agree with this fact. We all have our own cars, and everyone has their own things to contribute to them. I think its pretty sad when we get to the point where turbo buicks are bashing other turbo buicks. I have owned a taste of it all. And what...

Cool84 Cool84, do you have any pics of your current setup? I'd love to see some pics!:p

Hey! Welcome to turbobuick.com! You might want to try the "Before Black" tech section. That is the section designated for 1978-83 Carbed Buick turbo Regals and Sport coupes. They should be able to help you out. :cool:
