New member from MD with 87 Buick Regal Turbo T

[Undercover87T]

Hello all. I'm Jordan from Westminster, MD. I'm a member on both turbo buick sites and just came across this board. I bought my 87 Turbo T January 1st this year. The 3.8 had a knock so one thing lead to another and I spent the entire year restoring and modifying it. It now has a 4.1 block, bigger turbo/fuel system/intercooler/etc, built 200R4, UMI suspension and a few other things. It's the first gbody/turbo buick I've owned so I've been learning as I go. Here's a couple teaser pics. Full build thread: http://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42514#.UNkMFU4o6M8. Happy Holidays.

Sharp. Very nice work. I like the GNX wheels. 255/50/16s? Is that a bored out 4.1 to 291 cubic inches? Just looking at your signature.

Welcome to the site. I'm a fairly new member as well, and so far this site has been a great support already. Like the Regal, sharp looking. Isn't it always that way? One thing leads to another....LOL

Thanks. All four corners have 245/50/16 Kumho Ecsta rubber. The car will blow them off as is so I need to pick up some drag radials. Still have my T wheels as well. There are two or three 4.1 blocks out there. This is the more desirable 291 casting, little more material in the deck. With the stock 3.8 crank and a .030 overbore it's now 256ci vs stock 252ci. On a conservative tune (18psi, 93oct only, old loose/unlocked ptc) made 403rwhp 380ft lbs. With the new converter it should bring the tq numbers up where they need to be. Tuner said it should go 10.90's with alky and a couple more psi.
