That's actually a 1983 Buick Regal T-Type turbo, but with a race-prepped 1985 non-intercooled Grand National single Stage II turbo motor.

It has about 400 horsepower@18lbs of boost, and runs the 1/4 mile in the high 12 second range. Don't turn too good though.

wow, no offense, but thats kinda bad.

your 18 pounds of boost arent doing as much as they should.

your air is prolly too hot, GET A INTERCOOLER.

400 horsepower is enough for me.

Some of the intercooled Grandnationals with race motors are running almost 1000 horsepower. Some of the pure race prepped GNs rip down the 1/4 mile in less than 10 seconds...with air conditioning!

SovietHonor · 04-15-2005, 19:27 PM

im just saying that, thats putting alot of stress on the motor. that thing needs to be tuned!

MIne?

Nah, it's put together right.

It's making as much power as i wanted it to, and does so without putting undue stress on the motor. 18psi of boost isn't a lot for a GN.

Some of them run 30lbs.

SovietHonor · 04-15-2005, 20:03 PM

im just saying that with 18PSI, i would have expected more power.

With an intercooler, you would(about 20% more, or about 480hp).

I was only shooting for 400hp, so i built the motor to achieve that, and didn't try for more. The real limiting factor is the injectors i'm using, which are rated at 40pds.

I'd need bigger injectors to support more than 500hp.

Now that's what i call a turbo car.

A guy who just had to have it made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Gonna reinvest that into some Florida real estate. Hawaii and California is just way out of line any more.

BTW, I'm not moving to Florida, just going to load up on hurricane insurance

911.

It's a '99 with only 14k miles on it. I don't get to Arizona as much as I'd like to. Just kidding about the HS thing. Is your Crossfire a ragtop? I saw one the other day, very cool looking.

now i remember!

my neighbor had a Grand National, he kept telling me how the injectors were the bottleneck for him.
