General Buick Tech / Making the Precision 6466 jump

« on: September 14 2014, 10:48:23 AM »

Hey fellas well I'm moving up the ladder, leaving my Tnetics 6165. Was wondering if you guys are familiar with the 6466, I'm trying to figure out if I need the .63 housing or the .82, I like top end power but does the .63 generate that much more bottom end than the .82? would ported out iron heads even flow enough to handle an .82 housing? Also I have a 3 bolt flange on my manifold, was thinking to get a 4 bolt turbo housing with 3 bolt adapter I case I get better 4 bolt flange headers....is there that big of an improvement with a 4 bolt flange or would I just be wasting money since I'm running Ported iron heads? Currently using PTC 2800 stall. 210 215 roller set up, Harland rockers and all supporting mods. Thanks for any insight.

General Buick Tech / Chip question

« on: May 23 2014, 09:24:48 PM »

I have a TT chip, however I just got in a extender G chip so I can take advantage of the Gen2 options. I just installed it and at idle the car runs real rough like a super lopy cam and blows out quite a bit of smoke, if I tap the gas it acts like it's going dead and goes back to a crazy sounding cam idle.
Any suggestions? Chip was program with all my upgrades as far as I know. When I put TT chip back in all is good...Thanks for feedback...

General Buick Tech / Boost Help...can't get it under control.

« on: April 12 2014, 09:50:06 PM »

Hey Gents, my boost is shooting up to 30 psi very rapidly...I wanted to keep it around 25 or so. The Evolution wastegate has a 20 pound spring I think, at least it takes that much pressure to accuate the rod in the gate. It has a 0-25 psi T-netics boost controller. I has all new rubber vacuum lines and double checked the line arrangements. Any tips on what I'm missing? Thanks

General Buick Tech / My first build! Guidance is always welcomed.

« on: February 27 2014, 08:19:45 PM »

Ok so I got my first GN a little while back, unfortunately I got to only drive it for a whole two weeks before I blew the head gaskets. As my story goes I bought this car after sitting for a long time...thankfu lly the owner had a receipt book exceeding 10k of work that had been done to the car. So I was thinking there shouldn't be much more I had to do to make it fast. Keep in mind this is my first turbo car and it also hadn't been running in like 3 years....ok so I trailer it home and after a few little repairs with the ignition I got it running. Items I had to replace to get this car right again were the cam and lifters, fuel pump, replaced entire alky kit, ignition module, and map sensor, plug wires, plugs, boost controller, all soft rubber vacuum lines, fuel filter and I added Gen2 with LS1 MAF.  Ok so here's my two weeks of driving...car was hauling ass, I never took it to the track so I don't know how fast. So I tuned by driving and adjusting gen 2. All was great except I kept leaning out WOT in high Third low fourth. Anyhow long story short I blew both head gaskets at the same time. Problem I believe was a bad kink in my fuel line going up around the cam senser. I'm not gonna admit it but I may had done it on the cam install...whoo ps....Ok so let me tell ya I know a lot more now than I did when I started.
So here are my changes with the new build....210 215 roller kit from Fullthrottle (Thanks Mary), Harland Roller Rockers, replacing the TT chip with Extender Extreme chip so I can use the tune by AF feature on Gen 2, AFX wide band set up, roller timing chain set, ARP head studs and Bullet Proof Head Gaskets, new valve covers which  are too expensive! New SS fuel lines. All new gaskets from Victor Rienz. Venders to thank....Cotto n's, RjC gaskets, Fullthrottle, Summit. Wish me luck on my build...lookin g forward to the arrival of my parts! I will add picks of the carnage and build to come....
