Got it in today (referring to getting it in the mail), cleaned it up ... sorta and put it back together. Maybe a project for the spring is in order!? ... Let me know what you guys think, or any advice on the matter.

 

Turbo 3800 Series I?

you "might"?

 

Yeah, I said that because right now all I have is the engine and turbo (lol). I need to get a couple more parts in order first and some other things, but it's a turbo off of a early model GN. (Time for some junkyard runs ... intercooler, here I come). The turbo can provide a lot more than I'm looking for in terms of how much the Series I 3800 can handle.

 

Do it! Bring back the 3.8L Turbo Buicks! '92 Regal Grand National!

 

That's what I actually wanted to do. It wouldn't be nearly as powerful w/o the Series II 3800, which I wanted in the first place. But it'll be something that no one else has attempted ... it will be unique. 1 of 1 on the road.

DO it!!! I wanted to turbo the Bonneville, got as far as a walbro fuel pump. lol

 

I doubt I'm ever going to turbo the Bonne now that I have my new Regal though.

That coolant bottle is crazy. I've never seen that before, is that stock?

Posted

Yep, everything drivetrain wise is stock (as if that's not apparent already, lol). All I've done so far was my dual-exhaust, as of right now.

That depends on how you're comparing it to a Series II...

 

What turbocharger is that?

It's a turbo off of an earlier model GN '84-'85.

 

you should turbocharge it, 3800's have got some balls.

btw nice avatar 5speedz34 Very Happy

 

How much boost you think the Series I 3800 can handle?
