    Build thread: 87 Buick Regal Turbo T

    Today I had the 12 year old window tint removed and redone. Old was 35% sides and 5% rear, now 20% sides and 10% rear. Looks 100% better. Pics show how the RJC system isn't fitting quite right, which is annoying. Will be fixing that this week.

    Re: Time for number two!! 1986 T-Type Thanks, but you'll come back later saying why did I buy one of these things :lol: . From looking at the pics I would leave it alone and use that money elsewhere. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a pm.

    Thanks! Hoping it may lead to a full article but who knows. Yea it does suck. I think there would be enough material for a Buick magazine with both GS and turbo cars, like Camaro Performers and High Performance Pontiac.

    Thanks. Your right, I'll always find something to do. I have a pile of other upgrades to do within the next two weeks, stay tuned. Got word last week that the car will be in the upcoming May issue of GM High Tech Performance in the Street Heat section so keep an eye out for her :D .

    Got some more accomplished today as I try to prepare for show season. I removed the old dual 2.5in ATR exhaust and decided to try the RJC 3in cross flow system. It's a nice system but I have some fitment issues I'll need to address to make it 100%. Sounds similar to the ATR system but I noticed...

    Spent some time in the garage today. Car hasn't been out in weeks because of the weather and salty roads. Installed a new turbo shield and GNS Performance carbon fiber core support braces. Still waiting on a black stainless radiator top plate to show up.

    Oh yes. The other thing is the external waste gate under the car is vented to atmosphere. When it opens it will scare the hell out of the person next to you. Very fun in tunnels :D .

    1987 T Type I might buy

    Well said. Exactly why I bought my car, to learn. Never owned a gbody or a turbo car before. Have friends who own these cars and after learning from them I decided to take the plunge and buy one. Mine turned out to be a problem child from the start but now that it's done it was a great...

    Thanks man. I'm running a new billet wheel Precision 6262E journal bearing. WIth my 3200 converter it spools just like a stock turbo. It blows off the street tires from a 40mph roll. I was plagued by trans issues last year so I didn't get a chance to run it. I'm going to pick up some MT ET...

    1987 T Type I might buy

    Research, research, research is your friend. The deciding factor is how fast do you want, or think you want to go in the future? Honestly, $3000 isn't going to cut it. Ask any Turbo Buick owner. For $3000 you MAY be able to find a running average mile GN motor or do a very basic rebuild if the...
