Unfortunately there is not a lot of info available on the turbo Rivieras as turbofish38 said. The best sources I have found are the factory sales brochures, factory service manual, magazine test articles and ads, and of course the few owners of the cars here on the board. Fortunately the T-Rivs have pretty much the same drivetrain as same year GN/T Regals with a few differences, of course there is the frontwheel drive and different body style. Here is a current auction on ebay if your interested for 1984 Buick full line showroom brochure, has a good picture of a T-Type Riv along with two other Rivs, and a good picture of the T-Type Riv engine not installed in the car (engine only) along with the 84 GN/T Type Regal. It's a good brochure worth buying if your interested. The 84 T-Riv is pretty much the same as 85, also the 83 T-Riv is about the same in looks though is carbuerated.

The info is out there in this form though takes a bit to find it all, I have found the 83,84,85 sales brochures, 83 T-type test report (Road and Track I think), and a few magazine ads along with the factory service manual. You can sometimes see a T-Type Riv with pictures in the Riviera section of ebay cars for sale, though they are getting rarer, just picked up a trans out of what was a real nice 85 T-type factory black with gray interior that had been run into and totaled, owner was selling all good parts, seen many more last two years with same fate
Hey Eric, we'll have to BS about these cars someday, email here is f50turbo@wideopenwest.com , still working on the T-Riviera drive train mid engine car, and buying bits and pieces for the 85 T-Type Riv, picked up two 3.36 diffs and other misc. Still planning to intercool the Riv,and if/ when I get the mid engine project done, I see Scott North has some motor plans for his 84, anything new there? no more bad hurricanes hopefully...
