Reatta turbo

[ksmmspt]

Anyone know of anyone who has performed the drivetrain mods and swap into a Reatta? I've heard that someone has done this and I would love to do it...but I'd love to hear about it first.

What, a Riviera T-type FWD transplant? Reatta is FWD, right?

Yes, the Reatta is FWD, but I would like to make it a RWD conversion. There have been concept Turbo Reattas made in the past by Buick that were both FWD and RWD. I don't know how difficult it would be to do this type of conversion.

I would also like to keep the functionality of the touch screen information control center on the Reatta intact. It shows all gauges and has sensor information as well. You can even check to see what malfunction codes are on.

Look on ebay. There is a turbo Reatta on there now. I think it was in Florida.

Thanks, I already saw it. I was more interested in converting to RWD and using a modified GN setup, if possible. That car on ebay had an aftermarket turbo installed, but I can't imagine a big gain of power without an intercooler. I'm also not familiar with ecm upgrades with the series1 3800 engines.
