I have a 1990 Grand prix McLaren turbo LG5 v6 with 3T40-HD automatic trans. Right now it is not drivable due to flat tires and a leaky transmission line.
Anyways, I am trying to find some things out about the vehicle.
I have tried to find this info without much success at all and I do not have a technical book for the car.
1) What is the stock boots levels of the turbo LG5 engine?
2) What boost levels will the ECU kill the injectors and protect the engine?
3) The 4 SPD 4T60-HD transmission, what is the max torque and HP this trans will handle?
4) What is the spline count on the ends of the transmissions where the drive axles plug in?
5) Where can I find a replacement turbo? (What is the ID number for the turbo to be identified with?).
6) What turbo is a good option as far as better response and higher boost capability? Will it bolt right to the existing flange?
7) Where can I find a replacement cross over pipe that the turbo bolts to? (I remember someone used to have one for sale for about 300 dollars and was all welded ready to go with flex sections as well).
8) Is the 4T60-HD transmission electronically controlled by the ECM in any way? (or is it cable controlled off the throttle like the 3T40 trans from GM? I'm assuming the TCC solenoid is the only electronic solenoid as far as shifting/driving is concerned?).
