Intercooler Conversion

[irockwithdirt]

i keep hearing about idle issues and driveability and lag issues due to the extra plumbing installed, between the turbo and the intake........

I understand, some of the front mount kits I have seen has a mile of plumbing.

I haven't seen any pics yet.......but with the new intake they are working on in another thread, with a stock mount cooler I don't think there will be much pipe to run.

If interested I have a spearco fmic for the hot-air. Was tring to sell it for more, but I'd be willing to go down on price just to move it. I wsitched to an 87 engine and no longer need the kit. The kit is complete, brackets, clamps, hoses, instructions etc etc. Let me know if you are interested.

Spearco intercooler

I have installed the Spearco intercooler and it works great. The turbo spools fast and I have no hesitation issues. I did go to larger injectors, Walbo fuel pump, adjustable regulator, hot wire kit, K&N filter, hooker exhaust at the same time. Check pictures of the install on http://community.webshots.com/user/mrbuick101

Ramcharger fans

The twin fans are from Ramchargers auto parts, one of our Buick suppliers. The radiator was out of a 85 Olds 442, but it not enough to handle the AC and the front mounted intercooler. I had a local radiator repair shop order a 4 core center section and put the Olds side tanks on it. The white tank is alcohol injection so I don't have to spend money on race gas for the street. The 87 ECU has fan control built into the programming. Many people have put electric fans on 84-85 stock regals so do a search on the subject and there should be plenty of information.
