Nice car rwrows....I'll keep it in mind.

I'm looking to buy a T-Type/Turbo-T (prefer not to get a GN) in/around MN (I could go to Chicagoland or similar distance). Prefer color other than black, and I'd prefer a hardtop. Doesn't have to look perfect but it should be clean. Under 100k miles (or recently rebuilt), rust-free a plus...

Hello all, I just purchased an '86 T-type from a boardmember, and he says it has a TA-49. I know this is a 'stock-appearing' turbo, but is there any way to identify if it is indeed a 49? Not that I don't believe him, but it would be nice to be sure for ordering other parts, etc. EDIT...

Sorry for the extremely-long wait for my response, Barnes... 60' was 1.87, 1/8 was 8.19 at 85.53 Tires were McCreary G60-15 wrinklewall dirttrack tires, FWIW. Kris

Thanks guys - I checked. It's real.:) Kris

YEAR: 1986, VIN: 1G4GK4776GP435914 I just want to be sure. Can I tell using the VIN as a guide? I put it on AutoTrader, and the automated 'vehicle definer' which uses the VIN calls it a Regal T-Type. Any other way(s) to tell? :confused: Thanks Kris

Thanks for the info, people.

No. G60-15 McCreary dirttrack tires.

Now it's time to analyze my best-run timeslip........... 60'.........1.871 330'.......5.315 1/8........8.195 (MPH)....85.53 1000'.....10.694 1/4.........12.807 (MPH).....106.26 This run was with boost set at 20psi, 16psi in the rear tires, open exhaust dump, and locked converter in...

Hey all, First of all, what's the 'official name' for the stock turbo on an '86 GN? I've seen TA-44 mentioned, 49, etc..... Is it worth rebuilding/porting a stock 93k-mile GN turbo or should I just upgrade? What would be a good streetable upgrade? I have a red-stripe converter, 36-lb...

Thanks for the quick response - What brand are you running? Could you send me pics? Looks like the pic listed in your sig is down... kris_rehnberg@hotmail.com Thanks, Kris

Wheels are 15x8 with 4" backspacing. Only for the rear, of course. Will they fit my '86 GN without 'massaging'?

I'm psyched. First time with this car at a dragstrip, on Saturday (Rock Falls Raceway, WI). I've ran a lot of cars there, but nothing that ever broke into the 13s (motorcycles not included). I'm guessing low-13s (traction is good with my G60-15 McCrearys) at 104-105mph. If I break into...

Fixed. My trip odo reset button is a bit stripped so that didn't work. I disconnected/reconnected the battery 2 more times and now it displays in english...:confused: Oh well. Kris

Disconnected and reconnected the battery on my digital-dash '86 GN, now all the gauges display in metric.:confused: How do I switch it back? I can't find a switch anywhere.... Thanks, Kris
