I like as long as you dont put GTA on it cause its not a GTA and it has a 6 cylinder. But it looks nice.

 

 

HAHAHAHAHHAHH uhh..89irocz23....have you lost your mind...the car ISSSSS a GTA he swapped the v8 out for the turbo 6...badass move i say...turbo v6s own! 10 to 1...he'd spank your iroc witha v6...hahahah

 

oh **** sorry bout that it was a long day at work I didnt even realize that. I didnt even read his sig, wasnt paying attention just saw the reading ride and saw 6 cylinders.

 

lol

 

What exhaust manifolds did u use for the swap?

How does the GN ECM interface with the GTA body?

I want specifics, cause I been wanting to do a similar swap on my IROC but have sice been looking at other alternatives.

Thanks,

 

I gotta ask.. Why 3.73s?

Kat i was gonna ask him that too, personally i think its too much gear for that motor, he should drop down to 3.42's

 

its better to use a TTA wiring harness, you can use the GN harness but you have to hack up your exsisting harness to make it work, the ECM will fine, the GN and TTA used the same one

if u want to run the GN heads time to ditch the AC, you can use the GN headers but you'll have to get a custom downpipe.

any more questions feel free to ask

 

I have a question for u. I am planning on something big for my dad for his birthday and i had a question. What size is the turbo 6? is it like a 3.1L or something? MY dad has a 3.1 am i was wondering if i could get the turbo kit off of a grand national like the headers and make it work on his car? or would i just have to buy the engine? Also, if i have to buy a whole engine, do u know of any places that would sell used ones? I figure since i have a few thousand from my contract sighning bonus, maby i can help him make his 3.1 as fast as my LT1. Its just a question though.

 

o, and one more thing, what would the turbo 6 run in the quarter?thanks

 

o, and 1 more thing, could u get that engine, and put all the stuff on a 3.4? thanks

 

Somebody can correct me if I'm not correct here but I think it's a 6 cyl out of a Buick Grand National or a Turbo Trans Am. Taking just a regular 6 banger, like a 3.4 or 3.1 L out of a regular car and putting a turbo on it probably won't get you the same results.

Somebody will correct me if I'm off on that but that's why $.02. Sorry in advance if that info is not correct.

its a buick 3.8. It's NOTHING like the 3.1. no way shape or form

and stock TTA's generally run mid-low 13's add a few hundred $'s in the right parts hello low 12's

 

Turbo 3.8.....drool

And Turbo Bird, your TGTA is so much sweeter than Fly89GTAs LOL

If anyone wants to see Fly89GTAs turbo swap, click here. It was quite easy to do, I was surprised how much of it is just plug in and bolt up with the V-8.

Steve, why didn't you just use TTA850 as your screen name here, it would make everyone's life so much easier

 

**** off phil lol

my car is gettin there, if people would stop ****in hitting it in the parking lot i'd spend the $ to get the rest of the body work done and i'd paint it..

 

anyone hear see last week's Car and Driver?????

they did a special on Trans Ams.....the '89 TTA is still the fastest bird ever produced. runs low to flat 13's stock from the factory....the new anniversary one doesnt even do that this many years later. thats impressive!

 

well, that solves it than, i am going to find somewhere that sells or even has a gn turbo engine and put it in for my dad, hope it works.

 

anyone know where and how much i can get one for? thanks

 

thanks for thepositive comments guys

too bad last night i crashed it

it will have its return in a month, ill post some pics later on tonight...it's pretty bad...but i know where i can get a GTA front clip so it looks positive....I fishtailed on some wet oil after it rained by my job, it got side ways on me, and when I regained control I was in the middle of the road and hit another car head on...No one was hurt...I guess thats all that matters, at least thats what everyone keeps telling me... but my car is like a person and it was hurt pretty bad...

As for the 3.73's, i bought the car w/ a spun crank bearing and the previous owner had the 3.73's in it already

LKet me update you on my luck w/ this car as well...So far the bottom end was rebuilt, the tranny was rebuilt, and now i think a lifter dropped out on me...alright gotta get some sleep for the dissambly today....this sux....later

 

sounds like the car took a pretty good hit, glad you r ok, thats really all that matters.

 

Heres a pic

Woops posted the same one twice

I got a front clip for $500. It's black. The car is goin into the shop Friday. The fenders on the clip have the brake ducts which mine didnb't have...trying to find positives w/ this

 

Ow.

Is the frame bent? Going to fix it?

Good luck!

 

I think it's bent. It will return from the dead.

 

jesus christ man, good thing you're ok..i felt bad when u told me what happened last night...its worse than i though, but anything can be fixed, just make sure you go to a good shop and have a credit card with a big limit

TGTA 003 will be back man, i know you'll fix it

 

the frame porbably is alittle bent in, i know when i hit another car that the frame went in because the drivers strut tower went in towards the relays on the firewall. also on the irco-z the side ground effects cracked right where the fender meets the door. i totalled it and made more then i paid it. Glad you r ok.

 

he's going to need a whole front clip, from the fenders forward, hopefully the damage to the frame rails isn't too bad.

 

Yeah I took another look at it and its bent
The strut towers are pushed up and back. The whole clip has a deposit on it and will be goin into the shop early next week w/ my car goin in friday.

 

i'm curious to hear how much that's all gonna cost...

 

$300 to straighten the frame and then however much it will cost get the clip on.

 

not too bad....

Looks pretty bad, my 1988 iroc-z looked like that but alittle worse. I hit the guy so hard that my dashboard cracked (one nice crack all the way through and i believe my windshield had many cracks also.

The scary part about my accident was that the gas pedal got stuck somehow and the car kept moving around after the impact i was very scared because i tried to kept the car from going into the other lane an hit another car(s), thankful i was stepping on the brakes with all my weight and i got the car to go into park and then i forced the key to the off position.

 

Guess what guys?!?!?!

 

what? Is it fin?:lala: :hail:

 

Did you hit another car or a pole? That sux Nice car though.

 

All that is left are hooking the headlights up. Now I wait for the arrival of my new intercooler and fan. I will be driving a black and maroon car (pics in a couple of days) for about 2 weeks and then its getting painted the week of August 12th. I am getting a 70mm throttle body within a few weeks and a boost controller should be arriving at my house tomorrow as well as an adjustable wastegate.

:hail: ritchie and some colombian shop worker (guys who fixed my car)

 

dude, is the car going to be driveable by this saturday? If so i'm heading up to Steve's house in Brooklyn to tune my car...if u can make it swing down, it'll be nice to see all TGTA's in one spot

 

It's not gonna be ready b/c im waiting on the intercooler, fan and such. I would go over if it was gonna be ready. I'm leavin for Arizona in september so we all will have to meet up before than.
