Who sells them or do you have to order them from there site??? Thanks Brandon!

I was not arguing with anyone there. I just wanted to know the reasoning behind it? I have no exsperince with buick blocks and I know that. I have put together lots of other motor mainly imports and have used arp products without having problems. If Nick says that there is going to be a...

ya I knew about the honing if I wanted to use new rings but I don't even think I would bother doing that for this block. I would like to keep it pretty stock. So your saying to use ARP rod bolts or main studs I should resize the rods for the bolts and if I use the main studs I have to aling...

I pulled the engine out of my 87 TR today and was exspecting to see a spun bearing but instead when I took the valve covers off one of the orange plastic rocker arm retainers had broken and fallen off. The noise I heard when I ran the car sounded like a spun bearing but it would only happen at...

So you would suggest a DR chain than with no tensinor? I tried to find postons website on the parts suppliers list but didn't see it up there. Do they have a website? And last question would you say it would be worth it to switch to a roller cam now well the motor is out? Thinking about this...

Ok guys the engine will be out and be getting rebuilt this summer. I want to know what you guys think I should be putting in the motor to support a GT61 that will run 11.5's all day with no damage with the right setup. I would like to keep it as simple as possible inside the block though. I...

I found this link with some write up on it as well. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/engine-tech/210925-how-pull-engine.html?highlight=engine+removal After looking at it today I thought it might be easier to pull them together I guess will see when I get all the harness off now. Does...

Ok guys I am new to turbo buicks and I just bought one with a spun bearing. I started taking the engine out today and I am wondering what you do with the wiring harness. Do you unhook every component from the engine and set it aside or do you have to remove the heater pannel and take the...

ok now that I got it home and did some research. Just a new stock turbo. Thanks guys some of your imput helped me figure out what it was.

Here is a pic of my turbo maybe hard to see though I did take it when I purchased the car. What are you talking about 90 deg? my bolt on neck is straight but cast aluminum? Still trying to do more reseach too. I will have better photos up on sunday night soon as I get it in my...

alright I will send a pic on sunday. I pick the car up than. :smile: I tried taking one before of the compressor housing but I moved the camera too much and it came out blurry. Thanks Brandon!

Ok just bought a t type and has a new turbo on it. I first thought it was a TA49 but now I am not sure. I talked to a guy at the local car show today with a GN and he told me he replaced his turbo with another stock one but it looks the exact same as the one I have and has the same markings...

I have a knock gauge in the car I had never seen one before this but there is one in there I belive it has the gn logo on it. You said the TT chips are tune able or was I reading that wrong? I also already have a adj fpr and a 255lph but I would have to check to make sure that is actually in...

I am learing it doesn't take very much to run fast times in these cars... I would be more than happy with a 11.9 car next season. I will look into this stuff. So far I am hearing alot of good stuff about the TT chips but will have to look into the scan tool and getting a alky kit. Thanks...

I just purchased a 87 t type with a TA49 turbo. The car has hooker exhaust and a 2.5" downpipe 36pnd inj and stock intercooler and red armstrong chip. Motor right now is stock. What type of boost numbers should I run on this setup and what other supporting mods would you guys suggest to...
