------- GM. The 'equivalent' cars over here are butt-ugly, FWD piles of heaping ----. Even though its sort of a boat (thats 3300 lbs), I still like it. For a while I was thinking about getting a Fiero, putting that kind of v6 in it, and going turbo. But this is the USA, and all 1975-1995 Gm cars came from the factory as piles of hell, and they don't age well with our snow & road salt.

Looks good to me....!
What Engine managment are u running?

Ps Your car looks like an Opel Omega (A) we have here in Europe. (Vauxhall Carlton in the UK)
Only then fitted with Vectra headlights......

hahaha your correct its a Opel body...

ok, to get buick regal grand nation turbo rods + forged pistons im in for $600USD which is good as...

going to run Nitrous aswell... aiming for 10s.... engines comming out in the next 3 months to rebuild the bottom end

what engine management am i running?
good question, im running a 2 bar map sensor (manifold absolute pressor sensor, does the same job as a rising rate fuel reg, just better)
along with a VR tune (later model, more maps etc) with a AT29C256 chip with a custom tune on it for boost, on a delco ECU, sure it dosnt have realtime tuning but its good and does the job


oh yeah Dosing (or compression surge) IS HUGE over here you dont understand, Gm realeased a model called the VL over here now it was fitted with a RB30, and some a RB30DET (turbo) all the muzza's (lebs living in australia) make them dose... even make songs about it funny as hell
