As long as the nozzles are after the maf, and especially after the temp sensor. You should be ok. I wouldn't want to spray alky through the MAF.

I'm sure it would require some fancy custom piping, but it seems to me like it would be worth it. I was contemplating an 85 recently, and looked around for a similar product in the GN/TR parts sites I found, and didn't see one.

Anyway, stupid newbie - over and out! http://www.turbobuicks.com/ubb/biggrin.gif


I'm not sure I understand your question. hotair turbo buicks are scary antiques, I think some of them have an intercooler package, but performance-wise the IC'd ones are the hot setup. Especially for someone new to the game. Lots more help and parts available for an 86-87 TR.

Over in the 3rd Gen Eclipse world, Xtech Engineering has developed a turbo kit for a very non-turbo car. After months of exhaustive R&D, they scrapped the FMIC and went with this:

a Spearco Air-to-liquid intercooler

I can't remember exactly, but supposedly the gains were in the 20% neighborhood, due to space constrictions. The website for them is www.xtecheng.com, and the owner is Chris Clough, a very nice guy that helped out a bunch of power hungry guys over at Club3G

I'm sure it would require some fancy custom piping, but it seems to me like it would be worth it. I was contemplating an 85 recently, and looked around for a similar product in the GN/TR parts sites I found, and didn't see one.

Nothing stupid about that.I believe the Vortex blowers use a cooler like that in their kits.Syclones too.
I pretty sure Eastern used to market an I/C like that for our cars.
