I have the switch hooked up so that I can lock up the transmission when I turn it on.
When it is off the transmission acts normally.

Gentleman: I have played with my LN3 3800 for 7 years and in that time I have tried several changes to increase horsepower.
But I have settled on the last one as the best.
1-- I bored out the block 30 over.
2 --installed 95 pistons.( 9.8 to 1 compression)
3-- installed a custom ground Crane cam.
4-- Heavy duty valve springs and retainers.
5-- Ported & polished, intake runners, supercharger, Heads. exhaust manifolds, and Throttle body.
6-- Removed the canister and run the intake down thru the hole in the fender well, with NO 90% turns.
(This allows fresh cool air the enter the engine)
7-- installed water/ menthol injection to cool the supercharger.
8-- Installed a NOS system with a 50 hp pill.
9-- Ceramic coated the, Intake manifold, throttle body, Supercharger, and exhaust manifolds.Installed a (all inside and out)
including the impellers.
10-- The Supercharger has a 2.5" pulley. (smallest one you can use)
11-- Excell coils and E3 plugs.
12-- electric switch on the Supercharger that shuts off the vacuum to the bypass.
(Allows more boast)
13-- Installed a oil filter mount and external cooler. ( allows use of the larger filter)
14-- Adjustable, advanceable fuel pressure regulator.
15-- 36# injectors.
As for the switch on the lockout, I have used that foe the past two years.

Is there a reason you can't mount the turbo in the crossover pipe and continue the down pipe from there?

I just can't get my head around turboing half of the engine.

Thanks 89RedDarkGray, I will do that.
And Yes I have water methanol injection to keep the supercharger cool..

I don't know if this engine could handle both. I really don't want to blow it as I have too much into it.
I'm thinking it will have to be a hot one with no intercooler. I can't see a way to incorporate one. Every 90%
turn you put into the pipe you lose boost.
I also thought of just turboing the front bank as you have and adding it into the supercharger.
But I think that might be too hard on the engine also.

You want my secret eh?
Well I'll tell you that I have reworked the rear header.
-
All of that can be adjusted. I have had the bumpers off and there are shims you can use to adjust.

I am now working on a way to turbo both banks. My muffler guy is going to make a mount between the front and back header, and reroute the exhaust.
Right now, I'm looking for a large turbo for it.

It was stated in an early post" but mostly all are the same the sensors and are actually a battery of 1.5 volts "
Or didn't you read it?

What about the blue Reatta that was supercharged and RWD?
The one that the video show.
-
Stupid idea - What if you removed the rear spring and installed air shocks?
What kind of repercussions would you get?

Congratulations Ronnie.

Thanks guys, I noticed two fittings on the courtesy light and only one line, so I thought their might be another line hidden somewhere.

Thank you one and all. It was as you all said the plug for the theatre lite over the door handle.
My Dumb! I had previously wired in the switch lights from an (Olds I think) and when I went to put it back together
I didn't see that I had gotten the juice for the switch lights from the theatre lite wire.
Thanks for steering my the correct way.

Ronnie; They are gray and black wires.

Does that lead come out of the door down by the lower speaker?
-
At first I thought it was, but it is sticking out of the door. And it looks like it needs to be plugged into something on the door panel.
Where is the plug for the lower speaker at?
And thanks for replying.
Jon.

I replaced the driver's side door panel and have run into a problem, (or my memory is gone)
When putting it back together I seem to have one connector without a place to go.
Now, I connected the courtesy light at the rear of the panel and the door handle plug, and I know where all of the
window and seat and mirror plugs go, but I have on more connector up at the front of the door down by the lower speaker
It is a two wire connector) and I cannot find where it goes.
HELP ! Please.

Ronnie, You Stole my saying !!

That's OK, Chris, no one is perfect.

How would painting the Air Dam the car's body color- make the front look?
in Buick Reatta
Posted
I tried extending the front air dam before I painted it. I will keep the air from getting under the car, but it also
makes it run hotter by restricting it.
