Wheel Spin - Why they call me Turbo231 - My 1986 Buick Regal T-Type WH1

[jojomido]

nice car u have man , i got a 1982 limited one 231ci v6 2bbl carborator no turbo , do you have any idea what do i have to change to add turbo . thanQ

[justinrems]

@jojomido Buy a turboed one...But seriously its alot of work, the motors are not interchangeable unless you feel like drilling into the block for the extra oil line

[demomonk]

hahaha i bet ur fiero can do a better one than that

[Turbo231]

@demomonk Rear engine grippy tires and underpowered, I think not.

I think it's funny how people say the turbocharged engines were what made these cars so fast when it was also the much higher axle ratios. :) Corvettes of the day made do with 2.73 axle equipped with an automatic and 3.08:1 for the manual transmission. The Regal however was equipped with a 3.42:1 axle. The fuel economy specs for both cars are equal.

[Turbo231]

@ITBOILSMYBLOOD Um...it was the turbocharged engine. Yes, axle ratios make for a complete package, but sticking even 4:11 on a turd engine still makes it a turd...just quick off the line. The key is these engines don't stop pulling, so where your typical engine stops pulling cause she's out of wind, these turbo engines keep going. You'll figure that out.

you look kinda like Dwight from the Office...

but nice car man!

[bighunt08]

My vette is faster!!!... Haha no that is a very nice grand national and I'm jealous... My freind is about to buy one and I can't wait to see how it runs against the car whose ass the gnx was kicking in the 80's, my c4 vette (though it is a '94)... Should be a really close race...

o come on man u could of blown those tires off if you wanted to

[Kingsdowork89]

the paint on that car means its a designer series, 1986

[Turbo231]

That's the WH1 code...Designer Series cars, also the only T-Types with a factor rear spoiler made in 1984 to 1986 based on the original 1982 Grand National. I run...or ran...the registry for these cars.

It's not difficult to make the wheels spin in an intercooled fuel injected turbo Buick, especially when fitted with "hard-as-a-rock, don't hook for anything" BFG's. Nice car, love the stance.

[TractorWorld]

[Jimbo5123]

[Turbo231]

Thanks. It's factory based on the 1982 Grand National Design and was exclusive to the WH1 Designer Series T-Types. Visit my website in my profile and under past cars, click my 1991 Chevy S-10. It was painted to match this car and has all the details you'd need.
