what the hell i was bored
87 Buick Turbo-T, WE-4
original paint
around 140k actual miles
2 small accidents on Carfax, one was a front bumper and dented drivers fender, 2nd was a small dent on quarter panel behind drivers door. The body itself is in very good shape, only rust being on the front bottom corners of the doors like every g-body, and a few small dents here and there. The paint is original and checked on the top areas, but still intact. The front bumper support was cut and the rub strip removed, but no holes have been filled on the bumper.
Since 120k miles, it has undergone a major overhaul.
The body was removed, and everything on the bottom was cleaned, blasted and painted with POR-15. The frame was boxed, and blasted, painted with POR-15.
Poly body bushings, UMI tubular rear control arms, and full front suspension overhaul with polygraphite bushings, new springs. Also a TRZ rack and pinon steering was added. In the rear, a new Quick Performance 9" was put in place with a spool, all new internals, 31 spline Moser axles and 1/2" wheelstuds, a 3.07:1 gear and 11" disk brakes.
For the drivetrain, a 2002 LQ4 6.0L was bought with 60k miles, and i made mounts and a crossmember to put it in. Everything under the hood has been cleaned and painted and looks unbeleiveable. I made a turbo system with a facotry manifold, and a stainless log manifold on the pass side. This feeds into a Borg Warner S400 turbo, 75mm, and is controlled by a 60mm wastegate. Heres a parts list for the engine and drivetrain:
6.0L LQ4, 9.4:1 compression
Lunati 224/224-283/293-112 .565 camshaft
7.4" Lunati pushrods
Pro Products Typhoon intake
65# Mototron injectors
HP Tuners 2-bar Speed Density tuning
4l80-E trans, fresh fluid and filter
Fuddle 3200 10.5" converter
3" steel driveshaft
9" rear, 31 spline with lightened spool
3.07:1 gears-mikronited
Moser Axles
1/2" wheelstuds
11" rear disk brakes
Borg Warner S400, 75mm turbo. 1.32 A/R turbine
60mm wastegate
New fuel tank and 255 walbro pump
1/2" fuel feed, with -8 AN braided hose
3/8" return with -6 AN hose
Pro Products FPR with liquid filled guage
4" downpipe
4" exhaust out the back with 2 Dynomax race bullets
Stainless Steel brake lines with new hoses
New manual master cylinder
Stock rims, also 8.5" wide T-Type rims
New tint, 5% rear 50% front
New brake pads
The motor has all new bearings in the bottom end, ARP rod bolts, new timing chain and oil pump. Also has a AEM wideband.
The car ran a 11.42@119 9psi, 10 degrees timing and a 40mph headwind. I am now running E85 and am out of fuel pump, 11psi 19 degrees timing and im going to the track on sunday for a new time. I have no doubts whatsoever that a mid-10 is capable as i went 127mph with it last year on 91 octane.
I set this car up as a do-everything car. good milage, fast 1/4 mile, and it goes around corners like no ones business. Heres some vids and pics.. The pics are not current as it has a hood, lowered, and a bunch of other things.
