new to the turbo world
 

Hello to all. I am happy to be a part of the dark side. I have a 87 GN TT car and i did not think these cars ran the way they do. I have been a buick owner since i was 16 Starting with a 67 GS 340 platinum mist blk v-top red stripes,67 gold GS 400, 70 STAGE 1 that i sold in September and im still kick myself in the ass for selling. I get a lot of looks and thumbs up and took 4 trophies in 4 shows and one of them was a peoples choice so i'm very happy with the car. It is all stock with 19,000 miles on it and am looking to do a few up-grades so i can run in the low 13's and i'm told by my good friend Mark Deconti MR.Cotton is the guy. Looking forward to taking part on this web. Thanks

Welcome Tony, good to see you here. I'm sure we can help you in whatever direction you want to go!!

low 13's
 

What it takes and the cost to run low 13's,is what i'm looking for and still look stock appearing. I don't live far away i'm in Hudson. "chevy land" and would like to shut some mouths at the valley. Thanks

Welcome Tony.
Jack and Brian will get you where you want to go. Unfortunatley
your goal is too easily attainable. Let me just warn you now. Be prepared for mid to low 12s. Stock appearing !

stock appearing
 

mid to low 12's. That's fine with me as long as i don't break the rear end because of the c-clips. Also was told that and the trans. are a weak link. How true is this.

I didn't break the rear until I was doing some real hard wheels up launches on a really well prepped track and was running low 11s. They can take you into the 10s safely. The tranny can also be built to take you into the 10s. Without doing anything, you can get it into the 11s as long as it is ok now. You will probably need to toughen it up after that.

12's
 

I can hardly waite.I will give him a call would like to do it over the winter. I need directions to the shop. And from what i'm reading on the forum I picked the best to work on my car. Thumbs up to you

brakes up under load
 

my brother-in-law has an 87 with 33,333 miles on it. His car starts to miss under full peddle. What can it be?

quite often, the original rubber hose for the wastegate cracks and leaks causing overboost and detonation at WOT. I usually check the hose where it attaches to the turbo compressor cover on the bottom side of the hose.. also, possible coil pack or module.

Back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth...
I remember my stocker going 13.5@100 on a BGC chip and tires :D
They 60ft ummm NOT good

Congrats on the new MPH Jack !
