Buick(1989 yr) Lesabre t-type turbocharge 3800 V6 series I (6 speed) maunal transmission

[silvernail6]

good work

[AmbassadorOfGlory]

This F40 transmission... WOW. Would it fit on a GTP?

[SteveXnycperformance]

@AmbassadorOfGlory Yep!. it will be a major project. Others in the GM FWD club have done it. It possible cause i have done the GTP 6 speed gear box swap for a few friends.

[AmbassadorOfGlory]

@SteveXnycperformance I have a GTP and thats like my ultimate dream project for it. It may be the one thing GM got wrong, not offering a manual... do you know who would do these kinds of swaps?

[SteveXnycperformance]

@AmbassadorOfGlory Yea, Me. too bad gold mining is worth more than any working class money.Go buy a electric car.it`s the future.:)

[visionimagify]

I want your car.

[queculo0]

Hey man what do you think about getting a Universal Turbocharger kit and installing it in a 91 Buick park avenue base?

[blown0883]

Where'd u get the trans

[Alrgc2Air]

@blown0883 - I'll take a stab at this one... I'd be willing to bet that it came from a FWD Quad-4. I think the Quad-4, 3300/3800 V6, and Northstar V8 trannys bolt up the same. I was considering swapping a 3300 into a Beretta GTZ once....

[AmbassadorOfGlory]

@Alrgc2Air - Do they seriously? Ive been looking to see if it would be possible to tranny-swap my GTP for a manual...

[MIketucky350]

i love your car. its a 2door buick.. 3.8 all the way!!!!! looks like a vin c 3800 turbo!!! good job!!!! 6speed. LOVE IT!!!!!!!! if all 3.8s stock with a stick is nuts. now this is 1 fast buick!!!! love it!

[bighunt08]

I can't believe I'm saying it but that car shows potential

[541199999]

it looks kind of like a thunderbird from the back with those wheels.

[sforzando1213]

GM never would've needed a bailout if they kept making these...

[coolflames1979]

Did you really JB Weld the BOV on that pipe? Good progress, I want to see it complete!

[SteveXnycperformance]

yea:)))), It a very tight fit. the JB is for sealing . This is only a prototype. a fully aluminum weld unit is in the works.

[EmX3Ed]

@SteveXnycperformance jb weld is the shit! fuck them haters!

[SteveXnycperformance]

@EmX3Ed ;-). Most believe in china...

[DemoFly]

Dude I would hella drive that.

[SpikeRazzor]

For some reason the off color scheme gave me a boner. Just adds to the sleeper effect I guess.

[MrWestern1991]

no offence but that looks gay as as a east west motor in australia we have em as rear wheel drive n the r killa motors can take an absolute floogin

[dukeyvl88]

in australia we use these engines as rear wheel drive and the haul arss

[corryn00]

Duct tape on the intake?

[LynolsOffice]

Wow, nice! That thing must be a blast to drive! The T-Type LeSabre always looked sporty, but you did the mods to make it match. Buick should have sold it with a turbo and a manual trans!

[homes24]

No airbags and a cracked winsheld lol nice combo, 0:49

[workensmart]

I love these T-types they had nice lines to them.

[hylander89]

wow 6 speed? thatll be fast! lemme know when you got it done that will be cool! good luck

[3800fan]

I love those dashboards! I wish my '89 LeSabre Limited 4 door had the full instrumentation

[Macuserppcintel]

wait wouldnt those rims have a rwd offset? howd u get them to work?

[Led91234]

holy shit that is the coolest lesabre i have ever seen. Grandmas Revenge!!!!

[pontiac40069]

never realized these cars were that cool. i can see this as a real import killer! how does this thing compare to the GN performance wise?

[originaldriver]

Are you using a NSX tranny swap?

[SteveXnycperformance]

No, never. I will never use import parts of this beast.

[redbuick]

How is the project going steve?

[SteveXnycperformance]

The car is now paint gloss black. I have to remove the gear box to fix a rattling sound from the pressure plate. See ya in a month. good turbo weather in closing in.

[MIketucky350]

i LOVE it. classy gm car car with one of the best engines ever made auctually rated 5th best by wards automotive... sweeet

[wildbill903]

and what did you pull the hood vents off of? I cant seem to find them for my t.

[Tylerdactyl]

Looking great, looking forward to seeing it finished! I wish they had made these cars rwd though. Same with most GM cars.

[SizeableThoughts]

Its done in Australia where the engines are used in the Holden cars.

[redbuick]

Looking good steve. cannot wait for paint and a dyno. when that thing hits the streets, i want to see it in person.

[SteveXnycperformance]

I might take it out for a ride today, Nat. Still have to order the adjustable GN fuel pressure regulator.FP is at 38psi. I drove it a few time. I will video the test drive.
