Lol I know the feeling. Waxing makes you aware of every single blemish on the he car. By the time I'm done noting all the damage, I wonder if insurance would just total it.

 

[daturbosix]

We was rolling

 

[daturbosix]

 

[daturbosix]

decided to change it up. i got some autodrags...... well several sets . as well as some torque thrusts. and a ok set of factory turbo t wheels..

these replica GNX wheels pull too much coin. theyre for sale. wheels/tires/caps/lugs, $1800.

will entertain partial trade for a honest MINT set of t-type mags or Vectors. bonus points if 2 are 8.5 wide

 

[daturbosix]

oh. and 2" drop spindles have been acquired.
just need to find something for the rear

 

[daturbosix]

oh also got some 2wd blazer/s10 late model dual piston, hub bearing-havin knuckles. maybe ill use those with a drop spring instead? idk yet.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

oh
and
in for pics

 

[daturbosix]

engine details updated, as there aint no point to keep things a mystery, especially when i decide to sell it off to go LS lol

 

[Mr_Roboto]

That combo will get the job done. Needs a lot more fuel and some GN-1R Aluminum Heads and she'd really scoot provided you had the turbo to flow into it.

 

[daturbosix]

needs turbo, injectors, more pump, or another one, and #8AN feed line. but when dude put this thing together, it was just a driver and didnt care about maxing out the combo. technically, nor do i. but if i can make another 2-300hp for not much coin, why not? as long as it doesnt take away my reliability.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Fuck it then just make sure you've got enough fuel and run it. Like you said, the way she's set up she can probably piss off most of the "pro stockers" at the cruise ins anyways.

 

[daturbosix]

talking to a couple old timer buick guys that have been in the stage motor game for a while, claim that this thing could have 9.70-9.90 power with a proper fuel system, and a larger turbo. i just keep thinking about that

especially once its 80e'd, then i wouldnt have to worry about that stupid 200-4r

 

[Mr_Roboto]

The most important thing is probably the stage block oddly, the Buick guys never had a problem making power (look at TSM cars) they had a problem keeping blocks together. It's not like 109s are getting more common these days.

 

[daturbosix]

that and it being 277 cubes

 

[Jon01]

Is there any demand for a stock turbo crank? I have one I've been kicking around for the last 20 years that someone else needs.

Probably, especially if it's std/std

I think it is std or 10/10. I know it's not all cut down.

Then there's John Plog running 8.90s in a girdled 109 car with iron heads, 2004r, and a powermaster. That thing must have pixie dust blown on it before races.

I'd always heard the blocks were pretty well a consumable item at that point.

Then again with the money some of those guys have in their engines it wouldn't surprise me if it has some crazy machining to make it hold together, or that someone secretly made a mold that was externally like a 109 block (e.g. cheating,) or that he went through dozens of blocks sonic checking looking for one that was on the right side of the tolerances and core shift or hell that it's just dumb luck and dollar bills. It happens from time to time and using good components for a rotating assembly helps hold stuff together I'm sure.

Used to talk to Jay Carter back in the day and it was amusing because he was wanting to build a Turbo Street Stock car and get it into the 10s doing shit that was very unconventional. I mean, could you imagine 10s in a full weight car using a stock turbo with a sway bar etc.? I haven't talked to him for years and years at this point he was an interesting dude.

 

[daturbosix]

I'm way to excited over this garbage picked garbage can.,

If you know, you know.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Is the power wheels on top for sale?

 

[daturbosix]

I'll ask. But that's 18 or 36v of fury... Depending how you hook it up..

And it's all set with Ridgid battery docks

 

[v6buicks]

Oh I know. It looks like the perfect size!

 

[daturbosix]

Thanks for the damn dams v6buicks

The puzzle is now complete. Time to go back to the early 90s and get this shit on!
