[@BoostedSpeedDemon]

Fun fact, before precision was a standalone turbo manufacturer, they got their start, copying and improving upon Garrett designs with licensing contracts. In the beginning, precision turbos didn't generally actually have a precision logo, and since they bought surplus Garrett parts, a lot of original precision turbos actually have Garrett housings, wheels and center sections, with Garrett approved modifications, to make their own Turbo combinations. Sometimes just mix matching different Garrett compressor wheels and center shaft/turbine wheels, to create unique turbo sizes Garrett didn't offer at the time.

[@SashaZvyagin]

@@ericempson2498 did u 4get about the complete r+i along with total rebuild of the cl65 twin turbo V12.

I own a cl65 with the v12 also (that's how I found this channel) and have been a auto tech 23 years. I have first hand knowledge of how intricate and complicated working on those cars is. Peter i can't speak on with certainty but his attitude is a great addition 2 the channel. But as far as Alex goes he is definitely a top notch technician not just a mechanic. And as far as the bolt thing u mentioned sometimes it's just easier having a helping hand around so u don't have 2 bust ur own chops.

Hi Alex. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are involved in the process of blood clot formation, forming a structure that blocks bleeding. Epic burnout in the Grand National.

[@MW-fz3zg]

As someone with ITP I knew the answer since mine are checked weekly.

[@chrismason6857]

I think he was talking about Haemoglobin?

[@elijahalcala]

@M W my son has had two boughts of ITP as an auto-imune response to viral infections (way before Covid), each resolved in 13 months. It's certainly a scary condition to have to live with and hope you dont bleed out from something like biting your tounge. I hope your platlet counts stay high and you don't have to take too many steroids or get too many infusions to keep them that way!

[@jamesm6817]

​@@chrismason6857 no, hemoglobin carries oxygen in red blood cells, platelets or thrombocytes are responsible for clotting

[@vogel2280]

To be precise: there is fibrinogen that polymerizes into fibrine-strands once activated by 1 or more of 17 different types of catalyst-enzymes (coagulation factors) that can detect leaky blood-vessels each in their own way. The fibrine strands create a leaking mesh over the wound. Then that mesh gets clogged up with filler substances like platelets. I guess you take a pea-size amount of coagulation factors to mix with a golfbal-size amount fibrinogen ?!?

Platelets help the blood clot to stop bleeding. if you've taken a lot of aspirin or IB you might have thinned your blood to keep it from clotting as fast.

Set the TPS voltage at .42 and the IAC counts to around 25 or less (both readings go hand in hand so adjust one then adjust the other until they're both in spec) and a scanmaster or powerlogger would be helpful in the future. Nice project! It's come a long way. 10.8 at WOT is a good AFR btw.

Hi Fellas, This project means allot to me, I've followed it from your purchase, because I'm running a 2003 3800sc out of a Bonneville SSei, which is one of the up-graded 3.8's from the Grand National engine, rated at 240hp but closer to 250hp. I've put a 3.4" SC pulley and cooler plugs, and she is putting out around 300+hp in my "86 Fiero GT, a 2700-lb award wining custom sports car. I've up-graded the suspension, and call her my "quasi super car!" She is an auto-cross demon, and tons of fun on winding mountain roads...! I would love to have a Grand National, so I'll be following along with your restoration vicariously, just so you know. I am an 80-year old gear head, so this is from my generation. I have built many custom and hot-rod cars in the late 60's and early to mid 70's. I love and honor what your are doing with your Grand National, and what you are doing to restore her to her former glory, and even better. Thank you so much!

[@karlfbarsun7537]

To help you in the future get your hands on Brown butcher's paper. The paper has a chemical that is used in the making of the paper that you can put on your to quickly help your blood coagulate to stop the bleeding. It will not harm you. But you need to not pull the paper off the wound or you will open it bag up. Let it dry out and fall off on its own. (Actually Brown paper bags are made the same way so find a fairly clean bag to set aside for emergencies. My father who was an Electrical Engineer and worked outside some times would make sure he had brown paper near where he could grab it quickly. He used this technique to stop the blood flow from cuts all his life and taught it to me. (I am 73.) ( When he would cut himself shaving with a blade you would see little patches of brown paper all over his face. Safer then Kleenex because you could give yourself an infection with Kleenex.)

[@berkebulur7625]

It's the Platelets, or thrombocytes, which are small and colourless cell fragments in our blood that forms clots and stop or prevent bleeding. I think it took your body a bit long to clot up a quite small area so anyone with similar lengthy blood clotting problems should: eat more leafy greens, eat more fatty fish, avoid alcohol, eat more citrus and consume more iron-rich foods! Awesome video guys cheers.

I missed a bit of info in my previous comment. Back in 1986 or 1987 I had the privilege of driving a new Grand National that was owned by a mutual friend of my best friend. That was an awesome experience. You didn't have to accelerate much at all before the rear tires just wanted to spin. Looking back, it's a wonder the owner left a teenager (me) drive such a great car. I'm 53 now and I wish I had the opportunity to drive that car again. I'm interested in watching this one get transformed. Thanks.

I had idle issues with my ‘91 ZR-1, which appears to have the same TPS, and like TS said, you need to put a voltmeter to it and adjust it that way. I found the voltage value in my service manual which was set at .54 V with key on engine off. Not sure if GN is the same.

I owned for 22 years. My friend called his Grand Nasty. Stock boost is 13. Check drivers side exhaust manifold for crack between middle and last cylinder if it is the original. I used a stock aftermarket one from Kirban Performance. You can hear it when engine is cold. Even if it's small, it will make a big difference. The is a black connector and a green one hanging out of the wiring harness on the drivers side. Green is a tach and the black is a fuel pump test port. We would remove Schrader valve from fuel rail, put a hose on it and connect power from back of alternator to the black connector and drain fuel at the track and put in 116. Then do the same to remove the 116. It voltage light bulb on dash burns out, you alternator won't charge. Battery must be in good condition. Ecm needs a good voltage. You car is an 86, I seen the aluminum bumper during the fuel tank drop. The real bumper behind the bumper cover. 87's had steel.

Back in the day, I helped my brother-inlaw build up his 86' GN. You commented on the shifting was not right. The designers that made the transmission did crazy cool things like you can with the adjustment at the throttle, pull a clip. Move the cable in or out and can change the shifting from smooth for grama to chirping 3rd gear. But the tran was the weak link so you have to put in the full blown HP kit replacing almost everything to make those trani's survive. Back then we made massive power out of his. Not like my 1,100hp R32 GT-R but pretty good for a grocery getter car. With technology what it is today. Replace the ECU. We had to re-chip the old one. Even after that, it prevented it from making more HP.

I think that harsh down shift you feel is result of only having 4 gears. If the car had a about 2 more gears the car would be amazing. Mine has 500hp and 600tq with stock internals slightly bigger turbo, 2.5 pypes exhaust, 3 inch down pipe, stock intercooler, new fuel lines, brake lines, alky razor kit, new fuel pump, sending unit, new body mounts including the missing mounts that the gnx had stiffens the body with these placed. Once you do you upgrades you will never say it's fast for its time. The engine is a beast. Mine build is slightly better than stock. 11.5 capable on 93 octane and methonal. My performance is close to a stock camaro zl1. Also Temps 40 degrees and below gives you anywhere from 25 to 40 extra hp. I have had scat packs challenge. I let them get a car length on me and then I qive it quater throttle and I'm past them. Put on some mickey thompson slicks and it grips with the low end torque.

When these cars first came out my neighbor ordered one a grand national. After he took delivery of the car, he swapped out the instrument cluster for a factory looking cluster but the speedo went up to either 120 or 140 mph, he changed the chip as well, allowing the car to go that fast!! He only drove it in the summer, not his daily driver. After Buick stopped making these he sold it for more than he paid for it!!!

Had an 86 with T-tops and it was a blast to own one! So cool to see you found one and are having fun with it 👍 if it suddenly looses power always check your plumbing on the intake and intercooler.. they sometimes come apart under the pressure if you beat on it.. you should be seeing 18-21 psi on the boost.. bury that gas pedal in the floor! 😁

It would take an afternoon to update your headliner. I’ve done it with no experience. Super simple. Spray adhesive with some new headliner material, and boom. Done. No more droopy roof.

35:23 Casper’s electronics for the dash boost led repair. Ask for John spina or his son. They have lots of parts for you. Get hot wire kit on there from racetronix too! Love the channel.

Hello: I love Grand Nationals! 1) That Buick should be capable of 0-60 times of under 5 seconds. I wouldn't call that "slow." If it was my car, I'd do everything in my power to get the handling/cornering better. Garrett turbo-chargers are first class, btw! 2) Peter is awesome.

Great to see the Buick running well. If I were restoring it the valve covers and intake would stay factory. Every thing else would be powder coated in black. On a car that cool you need some bling.
