Golly, forgot all about this thread, I have been too busy mucking about with a racecar I have.
Just got another of my favourite S1 VN motors with low k's and a 700R4 auto for this heap, have fitted the Corvette servo to the trans, just put my 450CC injectors in, so the motor should be back in after the next couple of days with all the turbo gear back on for some more fun. Pity really, because as soon as this thing is sorted, I will have to sell it to finish off my race car project. :doh:

Crikey, this thread is about as dead as my car. I have stolen the fresh engine out of this for my racecar project, but I just slipped another quite low mileage stocker series 1 Buick in the hole, and just need to get Mr Delcowizzid to wave his magic wand over it, and we should be back in business for a while. This will be a low boost (7PSI) venture now, as I need it for a daily driver again, and possibly as a towcar when my racecar is ready to boogie.

Woohoo, I got the old girl going again today, and considering I am running 390CC injectors on a standard memcal, it didn't go too bad. It is fluffy low down, but when you feed it the right foot and it clears itself, it pulls nice and hard, and is making 5 to 7 pounds boost.
If anybody has any doubts about these 700R4 auto's, like I had, then a good start is putting one of those Corvette servo's in, I cannot believe how much better it is, very precise shifts rather than the big yawns it had bteween gears before. best 50 bucks I have spent on the old heap!!!
Hopefully the wizzard will be waving his magic wand over it in the next day or so, so when it goes right I might make a vid or 2 of the thing getting thrashed LOL

THE END
This is the official end of this thread, I have wasted far too much time on these fragile Buick V6's, my current one broke during tuning today, so I am officially over this idea. :bang:
If I decide to keep this car, I will go over to the dark side and use an RB30 like everybody else does with their VL's, at least those engines are designed strong enough to take some boost. I will start a new thread if I do decide to resurrect the thing...... :cry:
meantime, to V6 the race car project, or not to V6 the racecar project....that is the question.
