General Buick Tech / How To Select The Correct Turbocharger/Torque Converter?

« on: January 08 2018, 02:25:30 PM »

I understand this is about as simple as selecting N/A camshaft profiles.  

I am trying to learn about how to select a turbocharger & torque converter combination.

I'm thinking that a 2800-3000 RPM LU converter would be preferable for a street/road car. I don't have a track nearby & I'm interested primarily in a driver, that can still kill.

How much slippage does one experience while driving around town at 5-45MPH?

How large of a turbo can you spool quickly with a tight converter?

I've noticed a lot of 6262 combos listed. What are they capable of?

I do have a set of good flowing heads.

Thanks.

General Buick Tech / Thoughts On 4.1 Liter Based Builds?

« on: December 29 2017, 10:58:47 PM »

How well does the 4.1 liter Block perform / hold-up as compared to the 3.8L 109 Block?

Is there a date range or model of the 4.1 that is more desirable than others?

Will the 4.1 oil pan fit the Regal?

I understand the 4.1 Block will require machining for a turbo oil return port. What other modifications are needed?
