Ladies and gentlemen....that would be a Duramax. Top, middle, back mounted turbo. Front oil dipstick. Those charge air pipes, and the beautiful gray coolant tube in the front. I've seen more than I want to in my life.

 

nothing...

For the Turbo Buick folks who are worried that this guy has ruined a GN or GNX its not a real one, its a clone!

 

I WANT ONE!!!

 

WOW!! That is grat. I love GN/GNX's to begin with, but a clone with a diesel is just amazingly cool!

I remember a rumor that the Corvette team put pressure on the top brass at GM to kill it (1988?) because they could spank a stock 'Vette (as long as it was going in a straight line) and do it with 25% fewer cylinders. I've always wanted one...

 

BigNasty, I recommend not using that language!!

Now, what about that Duramax that was put in another car? The one that Pimp my Ride did??

I heard that also. Funny how a turbo can kick the "no replacement for displacement" crowd right in the butt? Those remind me of the Typhoon or the Syclones that GM made. I bet more than a few people said "hey you can beat him, it's just a Chevy Blazer". If you check autotrader those are still worth a fortune.

After seeing a D-Max sitting on an engine stand I can't see why you couldn't put it in ANY vehicle that had a V8 at one time. A D-Max powered Deville with twin turbos, twin Cp3's, an a mean EFILive tune....... now that would be a sleeper. "hey grandma, can I borrow your car?"

 

wow, nice car!

 

have yall seen the monte carlo on youtube with a cummins in it? Never see under the hood, but you can hear it...who knows if its for real

 

That thing rocks Tj

 

saw the video but its nothing special, just it idling, moving and a short drive on the street at less than 1/4 throttle.

here are pics at the end of this gallery

Yep, its basically the same size as any other GM big block, and only weighs a little more...hopefully we might see some other cool swaps this summer...

 

T.J., where do you find this stuff? That thing is sweet.

 

That's the nicest GN (clone or not) I've ever seen... gotta love the soot out the rear!
