I'm just a guy in Kansas playing around in his garage. Come along in my adventures riding, racing, modifying and repairing my small fleet of unusual misfits.
#DIY #Supercharged #HooviesGarage - Auta a dopravní prostředky
As soon as you asked the question about how to put the airbox back together, my mind was like "zip ties" and then you delivered. 10/10
Not enough zip ties, 6/20 also ducktape would have been appreciated. But A for Effort 🤣🤣
Same
I did the exact same mods on my Volvo turbo airbox. 👍😎
About that Truck: sounds like a 5cil Volvo or Audi. 🎶
About the Buick, on acceleration it is squatting like it wants to take off. Install some stiffer (helper or wagon) springs in the back. That will reduce weight transfer from the front to the back .
You want the weight to STAY on the front wheels for good traction.

The disk breaks on camera.......
10:07
The way I laugh at this guy after it does break.....
@@jfv65 yeah cause he’s just going to be racing that on public roads all the time
You have to give Hoovie a test drive. He will probably try to buy it
Best investment ever!
Came here to say this: time for a reunion video where you show Hoovie what you’ve done with it (and probably refuse to sell it to him).
@@bryangilmer671 I was thinking the same thing
Buy it back you mean...
Between you, Hoovie, JR and the Wizard - I can't get enough of you guys. Happy to see you making progress my bro. Mr.Clickbait Kilmer could learn from you guys.
🎯
Kilmer can be informative i suppose but i can't watch for more than a couple min just bc i can't stand the sound of his voice
@@davemakesnoises I like Scotty, I just don't enjoy the titles like: "If you do this you're stupid" or "My thoughts on the riots" (Then he just talks about his wife's Lexus)
@@davemakesnoises So you haven't noticed his hand movements yet?
@@anthony2816 no as soon as i hear him speak i'm out
My grandma drove a 93 park avenue ultra. She said her favorite part was that she hardly had to downshift on a grade. But said she bought the ultra specifically for Supercharger whine.
You've got an awesome granny.
Your grandma ROCKS!
ZZPerformance for all your 3800 needs. Literally, anything.
Thank you.
That Triton V10 has no business sounding as good as it does.
why it’s an overhead cam v10
Use a bit that is larger than the shank of the rivet. The rivet head comes free and then they just need to be pushed out vs broken off. Much faster.
I thought that to be common sense.
@@JoeRocket-sf6qs If common sense was common, everybody would have it. :)
Love the Buick man! They were quality still back then! The 3800 sounds so good.
Hockey puck motor mounts, they're "the future" Jake!
Indeed and they last for ever.
If made in Canada!
That’s what I was thinking! Hockey pucks FTW!
They also work great for body mounts on old trucks. If you stack a couple, you can have a poor man's body lift.
I love the slightly manic and done with life attitude you have
Ok 1:38 and I'm subscribing because of the Miata and classic Z in the background.
Never been so much content come from a free car and I love it !!!!!!!
I’ve literally done all the same things to my 03 Park Avenue Ultra. So much fun, super cheap, makes great noises, and still reliable.
nice sound, thank you for sharing
I used hardware store polyurethane caulking inside my stock motor mounts and it made a huuuuge difference
Can confirm, this is an excellent solution
I have a ‘01 ultra that I bought as a beater. And I have to concur. It is hilarious. Breaks loose at stoplights with anymore than half a boot-full. The “passing gear” pull (particularly useful out in the country where I live) is the best. Crack the throttle, kick down, M90 whine, 45-70+ in a blink, and barely hits 4,000 rpm. It’s a complete hoot. What a ridiculous hilarious and wonderful thing it is!
100% YES! It was GREAT to see you back in the shop with JR! Love what you’ve done with Hoovie’s “gift”. It’s great to see you take an old hoop tie and turn it into a FUN daily driver. Hey, if you can’t have some fun and enjoy driving a vehicle, why own it? Keep it up young man,
I did EXACTLY this on the airboxes in all 4 of my 3800s back when I drove them for work cars over the years (1998 Regal LS, 2002 Regal GS, 2004 Regal GS, and 2004 Park Avenue Ultra), only I used rivets to put them back together. Filters got dirty faster, but the throttle response actually improved noticeably and I could hear the engine/blower a hundred times better.
The Regal GSs are honestly a pretty damn fun car for cheap as dirt, and super reliable and comfortable. I switched to small, sporty, fwd work cars once my old truck finally gave out and it became impossible to find V8 4x4 trucks with manual transmissions (I have to have at least one stick in the fleet that gets used regularly for my mental health), and the Focus/Fiesta STs that I replaced the ol’ Bufords with are faster and a lot more fun, but nowhere near as comfortable or reliable (almost nothing is, in fairness). I kinda-sorta miss them.
Next video, “The trans in my Buick park avenue ultra failed!”
K&n cone filter... Had one on my supercharged Grand Prix and it made it sound like a jet engine.
Car is coming along Nicely!
I've always been a big fan of induction noise... from my early quadrajet equipped GM cars with the air cleaner lid turned over, to my current Durango R/T with cold air intake. Also, thanks for the free education in applied friction... yes, when you drill something, it gets hot!
Such a great project
The vipery sounding truck was all I could take ... suscribed...thanks
Grandma's grocery getter is a go-getter now!
Granny's grocery go getter is smoking tires and exhaust. :))
Jake, I inherited one of these from my dad so it's fun to see you pulleying it. Getting back to your previous fuel issue, I used a Kenne Bell Boost A Pump on my Terminator Cobra to bump up the stock fuel pump performance when I switched injectors and ported and pulleyed the supercharger. Something to keep in mind if you need more fuel once you intake/exhaust the Park Avenue.
Yes !! More Buick !!
If there's one thing this car is not lacking, it's stuff to fix!
I like this Buick.
Next thing you need to do, is put a glass pack on it. We did that with my sons 2004 Buick Park Avenue and it sounds great!
it already has a resonator
Wow, that is a hoot!
Crazy random torque steer is what made me fall in love with my 1990 Ford Probe GT. I miss that car. Also, I'm guessing cheap aftermarket motor mount? Don't get me wrong, I use them, too, but if this one broke, time to look at OEM.
My '99 Regal has the stock airbox with a K&N and the baffles removed. It pulls air from behind the headlight & fender chasm. Try Magnecore wires...they fit perfect & has a lifetime warranty. I have a lot of mods on the car. Comp Cams kit, intercooler, Mahle pistons, North star TB, powder forged rods (stock from 2000- on), counter rotating balance shaft removed, double-row timing chain, LSD transaxle w/built internals, poly bushing dog bones & solid lower motor mounts- not a problem with this car and it's been together for years
I thought the video needed some meniacle laughing. And then you delivered. That super charged 3800 sounds mean now. Hope that transmission holds up and gives you many miles of fun.
There's like a dozen ways you could have done this properly and yet you did exactly what I would have done. Now all you need to do is take this down to Bill's on South Seneca and have a pack installed
My aunt had one of those. They are a blast to drive.
Very Cool!
Your other motor mounts are probably bad that's what's causing the front one to fail
I agree. He should replace them all.
There’s a mod I’ve seen for supercharger noise you basically hook up a tube or hose to the air box to inside the car under the dash with a a closed end and it supposedly gives you more noise! Worth looking into 🤷♂️
I consider myself a 3800 enthusiast, as strange as that sounds these days. My GTP has a filter on it to make the S/C loud, it's awesome. It turns plenty of heads because nobody expects that sound from a Grand Prix. I believe a generic cold air would be louder and dropping some pulleys would also achieve the same thing.
ZZP makes poly motor mounts among other things for these motors.
Hey Jake I got the same car .. I'm pulling the motor for my 1950 dodge wagon rat rod . I love these old supercharged buicks . They're super reliable and a great sleeper
Instantly subbed fellow Wichitan.
So cool. Be well and stay safe. From the UK.
I agree on torque steer, had a first generation Mazdaspeed 3 that would drag you all over the road under hard acceleration, was a blast to drive.
I need to do this to my impala ss. That sounds amazing.
The pick up and acceleration is decent considering the weight of the car ! Sounds great ! 👍
In Australia, Holden(GM) used that Buick 3.8 motor both supercharged and non supercharged in the Holden Commodore 96-05
Easy to find a smaller pulley and crank up the boost😊👍
I checked the conversion chart. 4 zip ties =7 rivets so you’re good to go.
Only issue is water and snow will get in the intake and cause problems with that hole drilled. TFL had a beetle with a similar mod and had issues every time the road was wet.
If you want more blower whine. Weld the silencer ports closed in the blower.
Gas charged hood struts are the best thing ever
Nice Bro !!!!
You can get a solid front mount for those.I put one in my Bonneville.
Love that car!!!!
Now that car makes the noises that nature intended it to. LOL. I guess they had the baffles in the air box so grandpa could have the "Ultra" sleeper.
“Doesn’t have to be airtight.” Literally puts the strongest fastener known to man
You should get a drop in K&N air filter. I got one for my truck and it improved the power just a little bit but I think it would make the noise a little louder in your car.
Have a look at Mace engineering in Australia they do a lot of great upgrades for the L67.
Great content mate.
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
The hellcat engine fits perfectly in the Buick LeSabre my dream is to put it in mine one day
Power sliding from the comfort of your family room couch. 👌 I imagine drifting would be a little scary though.
Happy Tuesday!
oddly enough, hole saws cut plastic better in reverse!
Make a Buick sound like a Hellcat??? One word........Respect. New to the channel, and looking forward to your future content.
Supercharger 101 by Professor Jake, this project is awesome
I put a cheap Spectra cone filter right on the throttle body on a GTP I used to have. Had to have the SC sound too. It made it way louder. Love those L67 engines. Hate the 4T65-E missing 3rd gear most have by now though.
F in the chat for the broken hole saw. Need some of the yellow ones like @The Skid Factory has now!
Tha truck sounds like my mower.🤣😂😅😆🤔👍
I wouldn't have even bothered messing with that Titanic of a stock airbox assembly. Cone filter sitting right above that hole would've made a lot more noise 😁 The pcm would be fine just chilling there. That's what I did on my old Regal GS.
Love the evil laugh.
You have an outstanding delivery of the english language.
I can related to what Jake does. Touching the just drilled rivet....oh that is hot. Yes, I can see me doing that (among other stupid things while working on my car).
Enjoyed ur vids. (mostly on the Park Ave) if ya ever decide to part with it, let me know. Keep up the good work!
Hahahaha that’s so awesome 👍🏼
The little gramma car that could lol.
The reason we hate torquesteer is wheelhop in FWD and snap understeer. Both are the worst! Like being shaken to death, and it may literally shake the car till it breaks. Now that does vary by engine placement and weight, so a heavier car may not shake you to death, but torquesteer is an easier to understand term rather than wheelhop. When you say wheelhop, most people think RWD, making it more confusing.
That's a biiiiiit short of a hellcat in sound :P
Good traction, downtown.🥰🖖 adorable setup. Keep in mind only 'original' once, pal. Happiness in 2021?
SUBBED. Seen you before, Jake, and I like your style. What's up with your engine? Thanks!!!
When you mentioned wondering what the truck said I was like yeah kinda... then I realized my dad has that and someone stole the cats so it’s sounds the same lol
That Datsun in tjmhe background?! When can we see him?! ;)
Inserts from ZZ performance for the motor mount
when i had my o3 pontiac gtp i just did aluminum [I[ to a box (i had headers cam etc )and it sounded like a supercharged v8 until near redline then she sounded like a cammed v6
fun is fun, sound is fun, pull is fun, torque is fun, bracket racing automatic miatas might be fun....
If you want it to be louder in the car you should drill a hole into the air box the size of a rubber hose of your choice and then you plumb it into the car through the firewall
I'm pretty sure we got that engine in the Australian Comerdore made by Holden, I've driven one & they were rear wheel drive, Rj in Oz
The Triton V10 sounded a bit like the 2-stroke Wartburg of 70's.
Excellent - now align the driver side front fender and detail the car.
attention replace all mounts together. not just one. the other bad ones allow the new one to take all the load and it fails. also srt4 guys use window weld to fill in gaps in motor mounts. or make their own with window weld drying time is excessive like a day or 2 we used hockey pucks on an eclipse once. those ideas should get you thinking.
I would love to try and tell you to do things “right” and “as the engineers designed it” but…. I just can’t with this car. This is EXACTLY the way this car should be worked on. 😂
(referencing the airbox job, o-rings where they don’t exactly belong, etc)
Thoughts on the new KLR, motorcycle dude? love to see you and JR ride the TAT from Kansas to Oregon.
I'd absolutely love to do an epic adventure bike ride. All of that stuff is way out of my budget but there may be something along those lines if I can ever make my Yamaha run!
"People who bracket race automatic Miatas" might be the best diss car I have heard, I think I'll keep it in my back pocket for later
lmao that’s the same V10 in my 2012 Coachman RV
Did you change the supercharger fluid?
One day this video will be viral
Will you get the same sound from a non Ultra,no supercharger??
I think the issue with torque steer comes from higher power applications with sticker tires,
After driving it for a while torque steer goes away as you get used to it. I have a reasonably modded Regal GS Comp Cam, 3.0 pulley intercooled and ZZP headers and the basic supporting mods and I don't feel torque steer anymore. But a new driver would
Plug wires are long for a reason. To be sure you have enough wire. Just cut to length and put back together if it bother you any. Simple to do. Edit: if you feel tourqe steer then you are hooking up. Came here from hoovie. Enjoyed it alot. Subbed
I bet both the front and rear engine mounts are bad. The back one often makes the front one go bad once it's gone. Get a NorthStar performance mount, they've still got some give, but are basically impossible to break, since it squishes rubber instead of stretches it.
Agreed. Replace all of the mounts with quality units.
hockey puck it. every bonneville owner has the exact same issue with those garbage front motor mounts pulling themselves apart. theres also a northstar performance one
How great was that! It needs some better spring/struts though. Watching it bounce was awful. (It’s a Park Ave thing, I know) Can you put springs from a Bonneville GXP? Might as well get the wheels too? Throw in an an exhaust and you’d have a performance oriented Buick
