General Buick Tech / RJC boost controller

« on: September 10 2013, 04:11:31 PM »

The RJC works fine but I don't like having to pull the hose off to adjust it or that it doesn't mount to anything nicely... I like things to look neat and professional so I now run a Turbosmart boost tee.

My car did not care for 20/50... lifters took far too long to quiet down and I'm sure it took a little more "umph" to squeeze it through the oil pump but it did not destroy my motor

Does Nick sell parts to Brian who then resells them?

I think you've got it backwards... Nick's a middleman extraordinaire ...

and on a positive note let's also take note of the vendors that are stepping up with parts donations and/or their time & effort

First thing you take note of is which vendors jumped up and said Brian had no responsibility .  Those are the ones that will do it to you if they get a chance.....

I am also not surprised to see those jumping in to explain why it is all the car owners fault.  Same old shit.

One of those "jumpers" could even show some class and get some positive PR by stepping up and kicking in some parts instead of his usual "customer is always wrong" nonsense... Must be nice to be perfect and all knowing....  Same old shit.

A/C, Heating and Cooling / Re: AC compressor leak

It might get tired and seize from old age, but not due to the oil leak

Thanks Steve, don't really need AC in these parts anyways...

A/C, Heating and Cooling / AC compressor leak

So my AC compressor is leaking lots of oil... Will the clutch pulley eventually seize even if I don't engage the clutch?

Hey guys, what's up? nice to see a bunch of familiar names from back in the old TBS.com days... been busy raising kids (no, not goats) so I've been kinda outta the loop for awhile... Now that the kids are a little older I have some time for myself here and there so hopefully I can check in a little more often. LOL...
Oh ya, I signed up on Facebook recently and it keeps telling me that a bunch of you are my friends so if you get a request from "Eighties Rob", or if ya wanna send me one, that's me! LOL...

General Buick Tech / Re: is the ta-49 still king?

« on: December 21 2010, 10:37:53 PM »

My TTA runs high 11.40's  at 120+ mph with mid to high 1.6 60ft times with a TA49.... Stock unopened motor, stock downpipe, 50lb injectors, 2800 stall 9/11 L/U convertor, & M/T drag radials... This is at 26psi with a TT race chip... there is a little more left in the tune and 60 ft but I'm not going there...

My GN ran low 11.20's on a te-44 with 009's but it had ported heads, 212/212 cam, 3000 stall 9inch convertor and a downpipe...  

with this kind of performance from "old school" turbos I've never bothered to even look at the "newer" ones...
