Now that the weather is cooling off I've been putting miles on my car. It was nice yesterday, so I cleaned it up and took some pictures.

I've fixed a few bugs as they pop up. I've got a few small changes I want to make to refine it. First is get rid of the solid roller lifters and switch it to Hydraulic. The sewing machine noise get's old on the highway. I also want a quieter exhaust. Other than that It's been pretty enjoyable.

Simply incredible! I have always had a soft spot for the GN.

How does it drive with the boost and manual? Is it a smooth transition or a solid on/off with the boost? I've always wondered how a turbo Buick would be to drive with a manual. Congrats on getting the car outside!

I haven't turned it up yet. It's only making about 4psi of boost right now, so it may change some at 25psi. But getting above 0 is usually the struggle It is pretty much just like a twin turbo 2000 mustang GT I had before. I spools about like any normal stick turbo car. The motor is big (relatively), the turbo and cam are small. All of that helps. I'm very happy with it.

Nice build. Did you decided against A/C ?

MeanMike 11-08-2015 05:39 AM
For now, no a/c. I would have had to pull my dash out to fab up some a/c duct connectors to make it blow from the factory vents. The way my cage is built the windshield has to come out of the cage must be cut to get the dash out. So I just decided to get it going without it. The accessory bracket is ready for the compressor whenever I do get that urge to put it in, but so far I haven't needed it in the fall weather.

Any more progress, Mike?

It can be done without removing the dash but its way easier if you do. I engineered the kit for ArizonaGN.com. I don't blame you for wanting to drive it for awhile.

Mike, do you have a part number for the fitting you have on your fuel pressure regulator?
thanx

It hurts a little to buy one, but it's clean.
