People really are stupid. "GN's don't have a v8". No shit. A turbo Regal or GN doesn't have a v8... until you yank out the v6 and drop the v8 in. What dumbasses.
gn may have came 3.8 turbo but you can put any engine you want in there. In my opinion turbos are bolt on displacement. So assuming you have a 3.8 and a 6.0 at the same boost level. The car that flows the most air is going to win, which in my opinion would be the turbo v8. Not that you couldnt make alot of power with the 3.8 because you can, but built to the max with good heads, internals, turbo, ect. the v8 will have more power.

hey dude.... grand national is only v6 not v8 learn your facts and look under your hood and count the cylinders if you dont believe the viewers who know their stuff... have a good day ;-D
@tylermc419 your a dumbass. it is in fact possible, through years of intensive research (lol) to swap a motor. granted youve probobly never seen this done. but you know your stuff.....right?
@tylermc419 never underestimate what Buick can put under a hood!. meaning, not all Grand Nationals are v6. some are v8 too, dude. .. but i wont lie, the GN runs better on a v6 [w/ the stock turbo, of course :) !.
@codymcswain ur wrong i was looking at my regal's engine the other day and its a turbo v8 so u r the wrong one (i should know cuz i own the car) and i know its stock
@codymcswain ---> AND a 1991 notch mustang dubbed "death dealer" which is pretty much a bike killer. well some bikes. It has a 401 DART block, center mounted 88mm turbo, CNC'd AFRs, wilson spider intake, TH400 transmission with a Ford mod bellhousing. Runs off of E-85. cage. maximum motorsport everything. Its just dumb listing all this thinking how much money I spent to go faster than a bike in a car. But the car I will like the most... will have to be the factory 5 I am building. peace=)
@MrClarkisgod You live in the STL area? I live down here in the cape area. You sound like you really have a fast car there. I bet it sounds really good. My apologies.
@codymcswain Ya. but you can put a 6.0 Liter LS2 engine in a Buick Grand National.....and then turbo it. which is what this guy did. You really must be the dumbest mother fucker that ever lived. I always love you guys. Don't even bother to think before you start spouting off. Go back to your stock ass lame ass car.
@MrClarkisgod Okay, so you can put a 6.0 liter in. You can turbo it. What did you acomplish? And actualy making an aqusition about my intellect based upon a statement I made, that had correct information in it. Shows your lack of knowledge. I'm not going to call you a "dumb mother fucker" I'm going to call you an embarrassment to the Gene pool.
@MrClarkisgod How many chromozones are you missing? And why would I go back to my stock lame ass car? Its outside. I'm inside. What do you have? A civic? A trans am? A Mighty GTO? I don't worry about "fast cars" anymore. I have something that will kill almost any car on the street. An 07 GSXR 1000. Something i doubt you could handle.
@codymcswain Cody... my bad. I shouldn't Youtube when I'm drunk. haha. 1.) Dude be careful on that thing...... I work around STL at a hospital as a CRNA and man do we see some nasty bike wrecks. Most of them don't even make it to me. I would never own a bike because of it. We call them "donorcycles" for a reason.
My cars- 1992 Gt wild strawberry/silver tutone. Auto. stock down to the air filter with 42,000 miles. 1993 Teal Cobra with just under 12,000 miles. ---->
You guys are crazy, he still kept it turbo, and didn't cut it all up. If he has the GN motor and tranny still he just has to put them back in and it's the same thing as it was before.
Not gonna lie, the 6.0 sounds Beautiful, and I love the sound of a turbo spooling behind a V8 song...but being the owner of an 85 GN, it kinda makes me sad that you did that to a grand national
@babycodyjr They are not different. Same chassis, same engine / transmission / rear. Only thing different was cosmetic stuff. And a slightly bigger turbo. It only had like 30 more hp. 275 vs 245. A Grand National / GNX and a 89 Turbo Trans Am are Completely different cars.
@codymcswain actually they are completely different givin they look simular but in fack they are different there was even a show about how the two are different.... a gnx is NOT a grand national....sry to pop ur bubble...
@babycodyjr Dude, you are wrong, a grand national, and a gnx are the same thing. The onlythings different are.
Exterior: Wheels, GNX badges, Fender vents. Interior: Gauge cluster. Mechanical: ladder bar, better suspension, and a slightly larger turbo with a special ceramic heat shield.
Everything else is the same., GN is a W body, GNX is a W Body. The statement you are trying to make, would be the same as if i tried to say a 02 Camaro z28, is totaly different from a 02 Camaro SS.
@impulsivedesigns Yes your correct, the Monte Carlo and the Cutlass stayed on the G-body line into 88. The Regal however went to the front drive W platform in 88. Sounds like a nice car btw, any vids?
not to hate on your project,but why a gn.we have v6 cars going 9.90s and they are daily drivers with 200r4s and 3:42 gears.if you would have done this to any other car it would be the coolest thing ever.you destroyed another gn,that sucks!!!
Is it hitting boost right? You need to crank that boost up and check your timer. Seems to be spooling slow by the sound of the turbo whistling. It should be distorting the hell out of the camera's sound quality with super high freqs. Still sweet though, but why ruin the value of the car with a v8?
i dont know about this car but there was a few (very few) special edition GN that were turbo v8's... You can check them out on some of the grand national car clubs web pages. i saw one at a car show in KY about 4yrs ago. until then i didnt even know that there was such a thing.
gotta love the turbo winding out
