Fontana Is anyone going to Fontana on the 22nd? Lou will have me back on the road by then and I would like to get a few passes in if anyone else is going to be there? Snow

Hi guys, Once again, it was great to meet all of you guys. This seems like a great bunch of folks and I have to say that you all have killer cars! I was really disappointed that I had to show up on my Harley. I have parts ordered and I will be able to drive my GN to the next meeting (I...

Well Gentlemen, I was afraid of that. I figured it was bad. I don't know the turbo Buicks but I have been running SBC's for a number of years. I know when a motor is hurt. I was hoping for the best but oh well. As for the chip, I got the chip and the motor from GN1 performance. I had the...

burnt Plug Hi guys, I am out of town right now so I can get more answers for you in about a week. What I do know is this. the ceramic part of the plug was cracked and the plug was dead. When I replaced it got rid of the rough idle but I am worried about running her too hard. I think she is...

I have never owned a turbo vehicle until I got to Japan. This is all new to me so I thank you for the suggestions. Just last week I was running her pretty hard and KILLED a spark plug! Now I am leary about running the damn thing all out at WOT. I guess the chip didn't help that much. I will...

I look forward to it. I will try to be there. Thanks.

Thanks Thanks for all the feedback. Those pictures helped a lot. She is on the road and running well. She is not the monster I expected but still faster than the average car on the street. Thanks to all, Snow

Possible Cuise. Hello, I am fairly new to the Buick Community. I am in the process of building my '86 GN. I think I have spent way too much for very little results. It would be nice to meet some folks that could steer me in the right direction. I am in Oceanside. I have a 69K mile GN. I...

Yes it is a hydraulic roller cam

Hello All, If anyone has detailed pictures of their engine compartment, could you send me some close up shots. I can model my install after a known working one. The turbo/heater hoses and the vacuum lines would be great. I am determined to have her on the road before 1JAN08. I think I can...

Lovin' this site. This site is great! The responses are very helpful and super fast. Thanks to all for the help. I am off work for the rest of the year and I am going to try and get her onthe road before the first. Any useful input is appreciated. My engine builder says that I should...

thanks Thanks, I am new to this forum. I have been reading a lot of the threads and it seems like these guys know their stuff. Snow

Hello All, I just returned from a three year deployment in Japan. It's great to be home. While in Japan, I owned my first turbo car, a 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R. It was a great car but it's not American. Now that I am home I like the power of the Turbo Cars. You guessed it. I bought an 86...
