87 Buick Century Turbo Sedan 3.8 SFI Turbo baseline acelleration 5 PSI boost

87 Century Turbo Sedan. Baseline acelleration video. Turbo set to 5 PSI boost, completely stock ECM tune. Yes my duct-taped boost gauge is highly ghetto but it is better there than stuck between the seats!

How much money in that thing man?Been debating a V6 Bucik but I'd like to be able to boost it at some point for semi-cheap.

@abacacus I have exactly $600 in the turbo conversion. That counts everything from the used eBay turbo to the used junkyard injectors, intercooler, pipes everything.

@davida1hiwaaynet Would you trust it much then 5 PSI though? I'd like to do a minor motor build and run about three times that

[davida1hiwaaynet]

@abacacus Yes. This video was a test before any tuning was done to the engine. It now runs routinely 10 PSI with the transmission being the limiting factor.

How can you not love the spirit of hot rodding being exhibted in its purest form.

[davida1hiwaaynet]

@SCBianchi Thank you!  Yes I love the "use what you have" hotrodding!

Ultimate sleeper. . .

Wow that thing is fast and hell, and you can still cruise in comfort! No harsh exhaust

[jablackburn]

we used to have a car just like this; it was just about as fast without a turbo - that 3.8 will FLY. i miss that car dearly.

@sirbuick Thanks! I have THREE turbo Century's. One has a 400 HP or more engine!
