Went to the track today!! I don't have any insurance and my registration is dead not to mention my inspection too So I couldn't drive my Regal to the track and the only trailer I could have borrowed had already been loaned out. I hate not racing at the track but being a spectator and part of my friends race crew I got to see several surprizes today 3 turbo buicks and one t-type looking clone with a NA sbc that ran well. The Best is the 8 sec GN from Ohio. Slowest buick at the track was 12.06!!!!

Sorry you couldn't run tonight Adam but at least you had a good time. Aj said he was watching PPV boxing tonight and I've been trying to catch up on what I've missed over the last couple of days. I still going through email, dammit.

 

[WarWagon]

lol Charlie it's not work for you going through emails.
It is a small world indeed. A post I put up on the board lastnight has already made contact. The owner of the 8sec GN in here on the forum "turbobuick" nice guy. I didn't realize I was living so close to big buick power. and the other reply "CST03" also helped out with info of the other buicks at the track.
Ahh what a day!!
so nice I finished up my BRPV and I'm going to install it and take the Regal out for another spin to see how it works.

 

[charlief1]

Totally cool Adam. Tell us how it does when you get back. I spent all day at work but it wasn't to bad. Long but never boring at least. I've got Thu and Fri off so maybe I can get something done around here but we'll see. I may even get to sit in the deer stand for a while this week. I just haven't had the time to do it yet.

The spring rate needs tweaked. It didn't open until about 10psi and I need it a lot earlier than that. So I put the stock one back in for now .

 

[dr_frankenstein]

Im getting closer..... finally got it to hook hard last night...

tore a bunch of cords in the tire..... needless to say... i am super pleased.

[charlief1]

When are you two gonna get some vids up for the rest of us to see?

 

[usetaboost]

Yeah what the hell guys? I think there's 2 videos of carbed turbo cars on youtube. How about a few more

 

[WarWagon]

lol Hey now I already have the vid's recorded it's just the only way I can transfer them off of my SD card is through the usb port on my computer, But they still don't work. and no-one has come over here to fix it for me yet since I can't figure it out.

 

[charlief1]

I NEED A LIFE!!! Post 4999 and just about to do 5K. Time to go to the lounge and get ridiculed. LOL

 

[dr_frankenstein]

Stinker.:biggrin: I'll get to it on my day off Adam. I'm on dial after all.:biggrin:

 

[dr_frankenstein]

LMAO!

well nuthing yet.... she asked me if I wanted her to test..... but I said it wasnt nessacary.

she has an amazingly healthy diet, so I dont worry.

so no clues yet..... my sweets craving has died down.... so maybe it was a presumptive scare!



LOL....... anyways.... pulled my carb off last night.... suddenly just started flooding everywhere..... dammm holleys and there inverted seats!

I know you're going to say no, but if you want I can set one of mine up for you to try Aj. I should have a couple of PEVR valves soon so I can send you one to hook up with the system. Just for you to try and see how one of the modded carb works.

Hmmm................... thats a hell of a question Charlie.

Not an easy one, Im so biased to "Looks" and we all agree a quadra toilet isnt to pretty.

But........ why not?

So sure, I will give it a shot. I mean, whats the harm in going faster? I dont have a single detonation issue, and the boost is like 12 lbs now. I dont I cranked it that high yet, and the numbers are screaming that the intake manifold change was the key. I feel like there is a comfortable 325 at the wheels now, and i would be willing to dyno it for the proof. I dont think I will get away with this in the dead heat of the summer.......... but its fun for now. I will have to buy some parts to make the change, I new throttle arm adapter for the 700's TV cable, new cable brackets(cause i need the Lokar ones), and some more AN fittings and some tubing. But not to much of a biggy.

So, I guess the next change is a 301 unit and a..... ummm.... quadrajet?

I'll see about setting it up for you tomorow. Send me an email so I know what's in your engine this time so I can make sure the jets ect are right for you. I'll make it a single shipment so you get all the parts at one time so you can do it all together. I think you'll be suprised at how well a properly set up one will work on the car. BTW, what CFM are you running now? I can set it so it's either bigger or smaller.

sounds good if your up for it. as for CFM now, i have the 650.... but jumping up to a 750 sounds like a good idea. I have been monitoring the vacuum before the inlet to see what my restrictions are like and its around 7hg at full throttle. id like to drop it down to maybe 2 or 3.

I will get an email together with all of the engine details.
