Wanted turbo 3.8 engine
No bursted bubble. I’ve seen them turn up from time to time locally, whenever I don’t have money of course. Now, I know for that money I’m not touching a complete lc2. Not happening. I’ve seen 109 long blocks going in that area from time to time though. Then I also see them asking $4000 for them...- blueta

Wanted turbo 3.8 engine
While I would love to do an 86-87 swap it’s more than twice my budget. I could save a while longer or really thin out my gun collection to come up with the extra. It’s something to think about for sure. I don’t get out and shoot much anymore these days anyway. On a side note I don’t mind the...- blueta

Wanted turbo 3.8 engine
I’m wanting to do a turbo 3.8 swap into my 72 nova. I have about $1000 to spend so I’m guessing probably a hot air? I can possibly come up with a little more or work a trade for guns plus cash? Not sure what the intetcooled engines are going for these days? I’m in quakertown PA 18951 and don’t...- blueta

Been a while
Thanks! A grand national or t type/turbo t doesn't matter to me. I love the platform. What's on the badges doesn't matter to me. Especially since I plan on keeping this one forever now. Yeah I remember how these cars can be sometimes. Uh, temperamental! I guess I should clarify what I mean...- blueta

Been a while
Well, been a while since I've been on the Buick forums but some times things come full circle. In June or July I'll be looking for another turbo Buick. I'll have $10k to spend firm and when I sold my 87 in maybe '05 that money could get you a decent car it seemed. Fast forward to now and it...- blueta

Gnx?
Yeah and since it's like 5 miles from me it's definitely worth a look! Thanks for some things to check. Would there be any specific rpo's on the body tag?- blueta

Gnx?
Well it's been a long time since I've had any turbo buicks but I have been kind of looking around a little lately. A friend of mine last night told me about someone he knows who has a gnx for sale for $12k. Of course the first words out of my mouth were "it's a regular gn". He swears to me that...- blueta

help me get 10's from scratch!
It's been a very long time since I've been on here, and since I've owned a turbo buick for that matter. It's NOT going to be a daily driver, but driving it on the street every once in a while is good (I can inspect it myself so it doesn't need emissions stuff like cats etc to be street legal)...- blueta

What turbo would work for a 4.6 ford?
Wow, now that's a post :) I am a member on the corral, but I didn't really get any responses. A couple things I would like to put out is that the main cork in the non pi (96-98) isn't the heads. While they don't flow well they actually outflow the pi's from .475+. Of course the flow at the lower...- blueta

You wouldn't happen to have a compressor map or know where to get one for this turbo would ya? I'm going to be running this on a 4.6 at around 9psi. A lot of the turbo's designed for high boost seem to be way out of their efficiency range at that level. Just want to make sure it'll work.- blueta

Do you have any specs (inducer/exducer) on the turbo? Anyone who can vouch for you as a seller? Thanks- blueta

What turbo would work for a 4.6 ford?
Well I know this is a buick forum, but since I've sold my buicks and have bought a cough **ford** cough I want to turbo it. It's a VERY VERY VERY slow 98 gt, 4.6, with an auto. I only want something that can give me about 280-300ish RWHP without boosting the crap out of it. Maybe something like...- blueta

"Brake" dash light comes on ever time I press the brake pedal.
If you want to check your calipers just pop them off and see if the piston can be pushed in (with something like a c clamp). If it's stuck (and the line isn't all twisted up from you), loosen the bleeder and try it again. If it's still stuck you have a bad caliper, if it moves after you open the...- blueta
