    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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?

    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...

    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)...

    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...

    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.

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

    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...

    "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...
