ZeroDCX Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 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.

fastbird232 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Do it! Bring back the 3.8L Turbo Buicks! '92 Regal Grand National! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDCX Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 That coolant bottle is crazy. I've never seen that before, is that stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDCX Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on how you're comparing it to a Series II... What turbocharger is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99RegalGS Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I think 7 wouldn't be a problem for one in good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
