Default Any 85 Grand National owners here?....

A Friend of mine has recently acquired an 85 Buick Grand National.

We are currently looking for ways to install an air/air fmic, before upping the boost . We are trying to avoid purchasing all of the 86-87 components, actually we would like to keep the parts count to a minimum. So far it looks like re-clocking the compessor housing seems to be promising, but we'll see.........

If anyone here has accompolished this or has any links to what may seem like a solution, your help would be greatly appreciated.

just take off the front bumper, mount the intercooler and mock up the charge pipes with duct tape. cut the mandrel bent tubing to whatever size is needed and stick it together with the tape so you can weld it later. 2 1/2" id mandrel bent aluminized tubing should work good.

The best part about those cars was the color options from the factory

yeah , black or white your choice. Like the Blue or Red on the early CRX. My sisters boyfriend bought a Blue CRX when they first came out and spent $2000 getting it painted yellow to be different and a year later guess what...yellow.
