    Window Turbo installed

    Hi Roger, The speed of a non-synchronous motor has a highly non-linear relationship to applied voltage. The mechanical power output of a motor is directly proportional to the current through it. The WT140 Window Turbo monitors and regulates motor current, not voltage. As a result it will...

    Fast Power Windows?

    I would urge caution using a generic Boost module, and it would require cutting harnesses, etc, but knock yourself out! It's only a hobby, right? Cheers! Howie

    It plugs into the fuse box, and you ground the unit with a lug under a dash screw, very easy to install or remove. Cheers, Howie

    Fast Power Windows?

    No wire cutting it is indeed just one plug and one ground screw. Regarding Amazon: in my other company ventures I do business on Amazon, and selling there is costly: a monthly fee plus a percentage of your sales. If you do not sell equal to the cost you end up sending them money each month...

    Hi Turna! I go to the Buick May Nationals at RCG too, I was a vendor at the 2016 one. I had a scheduling conflict this year, but Richard was selling the Window Turbos for me there. I am near Burlington, NC, and only sell them on-line other than some car shows. I have worked with Richard for...

    Fast Power Windows?

    I think the only complaint back then (early 2016) was availability, the initial demand was so high it far outstripped production, and the $140 was a special introductory price. As far as I know there has not been a single complaint regarding performance. So far just about all have been sold to...

    I think he is in his late 60s actually, good pun on the number 87 tho! He is Mr. Buick GN...

    Fast Power Windows?

    That is exactly what I did NOT want to do, which is why I messaged the owner GP403 earlier this afternoon to understand what he expects. There is no need for hostility, I look forward to sponsoring the group or whatever is needed to be helpful as well. Cheers, Howie.

    Fast Power Windows?

    Hi, There is nothing fishy, I designed and manufacture them, and they are a plug-in for GBodies, so I thought people on this list would be interested. Since this represents a commercial interest, I didn't want to just blatantly commercially post on the list until touching base with the owner...

    Fast Power Windows?

    Hi! I'm awaiting instructions from the list owner before going all commercial here, but I will tell you the cool thing about the Window Turbo is it is less expensive than a single side motor replacement and it can be installed in 10 minutes, it is merely plug in plus one ground wire to attach...

    Fast Power Windows?

    I want to add to my previous comment: it is not voltage alone that damages motors. The no-load voltage limitation is set by wire insulation, rpm and armature construction. In the case of these GM window motors they are happy and would have a long life at low loads with 30-40 volts. As you...

    Fast Power Windows?

    LOLOL Sorry to be vague, but the Window Turbo does indeed monitor current and modulate the voltage to keep from causing damage to motors or people's fingers, etc. The maximum voltage will not cause damage to motors or any other parts of the vehicle's wiring. There are zero reports of motor...

    The maximum voltage depends on the current draw by the motor(s) being powered.

    Fast Power Windows?

    Hi, there are no relays in that unit, it is not a relay, it actually boosts the power going to the window motor. I wish I had a G-body, ever since I sold my great 69 GTO (A-body) I have wanted to get a hipo GM G-body, but funds are tight. I have been looking into getting a 3.8L GN drivetrain...

    The easiest and most reliable way to speed up G-body windows is to do a 5-minute Window Turbo install: https://proraceeng.com/wt140-window-turbo/ The videos tell the story.
