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

You have to give Hoovie a test drive. He will probably try to buy it

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.

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.

That Triton V10 has no business sounding as good as it does.

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.

ZZPerformance for all your 3800 needs. Literally, anything.

Next video, “The trans in my Buick park avenue ultra failed!”

Love the Buick man! They were quality still back then! The 3800 sounds so good.

Hockey puck motor mounts, they're "the future" Jake!

I love the slightly manic and done with life attitude you have

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.

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!

Ok 1:38 and I'm subscribing because of the Miata and classic Z in the background.

I used hardware store polyurethane caulking inside my stock motor mounts and it made a huuuuge difference

Grandma's grocery getter is a go-getter now!

K&n cone filter... Had one on my supercharged Grand Prix and it made it sound like a jet engine.

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

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 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!

Never been so much content come from a free car and I love it !!!!!!!

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.

Your other motor mounts are probably bad that's what's causing the front one to fail

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 🤷‍♂️

nice sound, thank you for sharing

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

oddly enough, hole saws cut plastic better in reverse!

“Doesn’t have to be airtight.” Literally puts the strongest fastener known to man

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

I checked the conversion chart. 4 zip ties =7 rivets so you’re good to go.

Have a look at Mace engineering in Australia they do a lot of great upgrades for the L67. Great content mate. Cheers Pat 🇦🇺

Yes !! More Buick !!

How *dare* you compare your free Buick to my Hellcat. Going so far as to include a picture of my very car in the thumbnail! 😡 On the real though, that sounds awesome lol.

Car is coming along Nicely!

My aunt had one of those. They are a blast to drive.

I like this Buick.

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 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.

The pick up and acceleration is decent considering the weight of the car ! Sounds great ! 👍

The vipery sounding truck was all I could take ... suscribed...thanks

The 26 dislikes are from Miata owners. 😂

I need to do this to my impala ss. That sounds amazing.

So cool. Be well and stay safe. From the UK.

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

"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

F in the chat for the broken hole saw. Need some of the yellow ones like @The Skid Factory has now!

This just made me wanna run out and buy a grand prix GTP just to do the same mod and hear supercharger whine

Very Cool!

Power sliding from the comfort of your family room couch. 👌 I imagine drifting would be a little scary though.

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.

Sometimes you win with a cheap creative mod. It sounds like you won!

Wow, that is a hoot!

Make a Buick sound like a Hellcat??? One word........Respect. New to the channel, and looking forward to your future content.

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.

The hellcat engine fits perfectly in the Buick LeSabre my dream is to put it in mine one day

Gas charged hood struts are the best thing ever

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)

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

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.

That Datsun in tjmhe background?! When can we see him?! ;)

SUBBED. Seen you before, Jake, and I like your style. What's up with your engine? Thanks!!!

Such a great project

The little gramma car that could lol.

Love that car!!!!

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.

Thoughts on the new KLR, motorcycle dude? love to see you and JR ride the TAT from Kansas to Oregon.

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).

You can get a solid front mount for those.I put one in my Bonneville.

Enjoyed ur vids. (mostly on the Park Ave) if ya ever decide to part with it, let me know. Keep up the good work!

Nice Bro !!!!

Hahahaha that’s so awesome 👍🏼

Jake driving a noisy grandpa's car. LOL. We love you Jake. The Buick Park Avenue Ultra is an awesome car. Now get a haircut and groom the handsome face up a bit.

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

Love the evil laugh.

Makes it from a run down Buick to a monster car, then trashes the new motor mount. That is a lot of power. Hoovie would be impressed.

Instantly subbed fellow Wichitan.

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.

The Triton V10 sounded a bit like the 2-stroke Wartburg of 70's.

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

lmao that’s the same V10 in my 2012 Coachman RV

If you want more blower whine. Weld the silencer ports closed in the blower.

Tha truck sounds like my mower.🤣😂😅😆🤔👍

Supercharger 101 by Professor Jake, this project is awesome

fun is fun, sound is fun, pull is fun, torque is fun, bracket racing automatic miatas might be fun....

Making me really want to track down a super charged 3800 now. Also, you and I have the same steady diet of QT and Taco Bell. Breakfast of champions!

Now you should bring the car to Tyler and ask what he thinks about it now! Be sure to get the motor mount replaced beforehand.

dude, you have to convince Hoovie to come on your channel and show him what it is now

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

Happy Tuesday!

You have an outstanding delivery of the english language.

Excellent - now align the driver side front fender and detail the car.

Good traction, downtown.🥰🖖 adorable setup. Keep in mind only 'original' once, pal. Happiness in 2021?

Never wonder how a Ford V10 sounds without cats and y-piped, but now I know: it sounds like a 4cylinder Japanese ricer.

It would be great if you listed what music you use. It is so good for your videos
