      You can use the parts talked about in the video except for the intake manifold/throttle body setup that series 2/3 only. The exhaust part i would use your existing and weld a turbo flange on the crossover pipe. A turbo downpipe is going to need to be custom for your car. The other parts like turbo, wastegate ,oil feed line, blow off valve, bigger fuel injectors from the video can be used. I would recommend going with a bigger fuel pump also.

      Since grand national rear ends are getting more expensive and harder to find now a days. the ford 9inch is a better option especially if your making high horsepower or your running a manual transmission with a sticky tire at the track. Plus ford 9 inches are cheaper. I have links in the description if your in the market for a ford 9inch to save you money on by buying the parts needed on ebay.

Once you figure out the focus then i can guide you to what suspension works best for your application.

      If your cutlass has a 3speed transmission (turbo 350/200) and also a 7.5 rear end. The driveshaft needs to be cut 3"off to work with the 700r4. If your cutlass has a 3 speed transmission (turbo 350/200) and a 8.5 hurst/gn rear end then 4" off to work with the 700r4. 700r4s from s10 trucks/s10 blazers are short tail transmission.

      The yellow and blue shocks were bilstein lowering shocks number hss-71010009 - rear and hss-70010001 front. Which i think have been replaced to these newer item numbers 24-009294 rear and 24-009492 front

      the up front cost of nitrous is cheaper but becomes the most expensive option over time due to solenoids up keep & bottle refills compared turbocharging or supercharging.

    I ended up buying new fenders for my chev. The door fit was worse than factory for aure. Scribbed and fit the gap t make it mint. Why? Idk

    • @gaspoweredgarage
      @gaspoweredgarage 2 місяці тому

      I've heard that about the new aftermarket fenders not fitting or you have to make holes for everything to fit properly. Atleast there not as bad as the stuff made 10 or 15 years ago where if you used new fenders you had to use all aftermarket front end parts like hood, header panel,bumper and sometimes doors to get the correct gaps.

      2008 3800 cars aren't able to be tuned with a hptuners or other software. The ones I've seen convert there cars to the older 2004-07 pcms or have to run a stand alone system like holley. When someone cracks the code on the 2008 pcms then you would see more v6 Lucerne modified.

    Will front 22X9 -19 and rear 22x10 -25 work on 85 cutlass? I think that's 4.25 backspacing for front and 4.5 backspacing for rear.

    • @gaspoweredgarage
      @gaspoweredgarage 2 місяці тому

      going off your information the front 22x9 with 4.25 backspace will work with a 235 tire. then the back 22x10 with 4.5 will work with a 275 tire. the back 4.5inch backspacing is going to be the max you can run. any bigger backspacing it will rub and require adapters or spacers. which i'm not a fan of the route of adapters or spacers. when you install those wheels make sure you have longer than stock wheel studs so you get good contact between wheel studs and lug nuts.

      Ok thanks a lot for the help I'm really new to all this I wanted them to tuck in the back but if I have to do a notch to get them to tuck I'll go that route even though I didn't want to cut. Oh yeah I do have qa1 coilovers upper and lower double adjustable trailing arms and upper and lower control arms all qa1

    • @gaspoweredgarage
      @gaspoweredgarage 2 місяці тому

      Your welcome. With the backspacing you provided doesn't need a notch. Maybe roll the fender lips if you need a little extra room. Now if you change the rear backspacing then it would definitely need to be notched. Like if you went bigger than a 4.5 inch backspacing or a wider wheel than 10inch.

      Normally I prefer black cars but if I had to choose I would rather have a unique color like green or brown or a low production color nowadays to stand out.
