I'm thinking about selling my 2006 LGT Spec B, wanted to get a feel to see if there's any interest. The car is great, but I have the chance to buy a friend's car and may want to jump on it. The wife won't let me have three cars, and I'm keeping my Miata. I would consider parting it, but need stock parts in trade - there's a tipping point somewhere, maybe if I can find buyers for the Brembos, exhaust, wheels, and IC then I'll part the whole thing and go stock.

 

It's an 06 Spec B and has 101,500, modded with:

SPT exhaust V.2

Brembo brakes

K&N intake

Perrin Top mount intercooler

Cobb catted dp

Turboxs up pipe

Cusco rear sway

cusco h brace

Swift lowering springs

RavSpec front lip

RBS grill

Cobb Accessport, Tuned by TDC

Rota Tarmac 2's with almost new Conti Sport DWS

JL CleanSweep

Alpine 4ch amp with MBQuart Speakers all around

Apline monoblock powering Eclipse 12 Inch sub

 

Please let me know if you're interested in the car I'll send some pics. Price is up in the air; to sell it as-is I'd have to get decent $$ for it; to part it out, I'd like to quickly find buyers for most of the aftermarket goodies.

 

Thanks,

Interested in springs,tires wheels brakes and a few other items. Where ya located. I have stock stuff to go too

Looking for a set of tires and wheels, 2005 LGT

what have ya got?

wonder if he really came from nasioc.... jk. I say go for it man. Its your car, and Im sure there are some buick forums that will be able to help you out on this adventure. might want to check with sl-i.net and legacycentral.org , search for "H6 swap" on those. some kids there took their 2.2's-2.5's for the H63.3 (svx) and the newer/older H63.0 (outbacks). thought about doing something like this with an older (91) legacy wagon. I wanted to put an inline 4 cummins'. after looking at the info on parts etc I came to realize something about subarus... they are awd with a boxer. the suspension, engine mounts, physical structure/stability of the car is designed for the origional engine. primarily with the suspension. it is not out of the realm of posability, they did make an LS1 powered Legacy GT. RWD of course. I googles it.

Just curious why you would do a 4bt?

Really wouldnt think it to be very benficial.

Depending ofcourse on your direction for the build

feeler

5eat catless Invidia DP ( still in box)

Perrin Catless UP no box, still new

Both new

350. Located in Culpeper VA

Probably easier to just find a wrecked Porsche with an H6...

And it would already be turbo.

Obviously would need a custom engine-trans adapter plate.

Umm and some serous $$$.. Even wrecked the turbo Porsches are pretty pricey

Overall for $$$ per HP Frank went the right way, next would be an LS motor.

ok, I was watching the tach( which I know hangs on you), the speedo and hearing the shifts.. It was just hard to tell with the audio..

Can it be adjusted or did you set it up to save the trans

YAYYYYY

IC tubes!!!!

what turbo ?

 

going to be in the same place as i had the holset on 2.5 in stock location but twisted.

I just need to make the up pipes. having some laser cut peices made for flanges.

 

next step is mount the rad and power steering and altenator.

I saw the front mount, but in previous pics/vids didnt not see a turbo, thats why I asked... Is there gonna be enough room with the heads AND exhaust squeezing into a small area

Still a bit of fuel issues?

Where did you put the turbo?

Looking for Pillowball bushings for the front and a set of struts, 2005 Wagon LGT..

Not in the best financial spot but my bushings are shot and dtruts arent far off , so I can justify and upgrade...

Thanks

Meh. pointless. Wire is wire more or less. Yes a thicker gauge will have a greater loss over distance... and a thinner wont be able to carry as many volts/amps without metling.

 

But as I said. Similar wire size. and connect them well. use dialectric grease even to help contact.

You are way wrong on your statement ...

Larger wire guage has less resistance over a given distance.

Wire is not wire, smaller wire. Copper and alluminum or stainless, copper clad they are all different. You never want to take a larger wire to a load fed from a I.E a circuit fed with a #12 wire to a distribution block, then branched with #10 or larger, thats a no-no.

thats stupid. just buy a gnx or regal turbo

Its only that way when you can do it..

Sounds pretty neat and $$$ to power will be a lot less( especially if you can do it yourself)
