AJ Hogans 84 Grand National

AJ Hogan's 84 GN
He is using one of our chrome Big Mouth Cold Air kits

Often overlooked by vendors are the 84-5 Turbo Regals. Commonly referred to as "HOT AIR" cars by Buick enthusiasts, they do not have an intercooler like their 86-7 counterparts.  We have come up with products specifically for these vehicles in addition to our products for the intercooled Turbo Regals. Of course, the some of the products we make for the 86-7 cars will fit the 84-5's as well so be sure to check out all of the pages on our site!

NOTE!

Due to the lower demand for cold air kits for the non-intercooled 84-5 Turbo Regals, we keep a smaller amount of kits in stock.  Allow at least two weeks for delivery of this item. 

Ok, hot air owners, you asked for it and here it is.  A Big Mouth Cold Air System for your cars.  Based on the Big Mouth Cold Air Induction System that we have been making for the 86-7 intercooled cars, our Cold/Hot Air System is now in production for the 84-5 Turbo Regals!  The  Hot Air cars never seem to get the same respect that the intercooled cars get but we aim to help you get all the cold air into your turbo as possible without an intercooler.  Our complete system has a 9" K&N cone filter that sits behind the driver's side headlights.  Totally hidden from view, it picks up cool air from outside the motor compartment.  The opening in the filter is 4" which will supply all the air your turbo will ever need.  A rubber 90 degree elbow passes thru the existing hole in the radiator support and a 4" pipe attaches to your MAF sensor with a 4" to 3" adapter.  From the MAF sensor, a smooth 90 degree pipe replaces the accordion style stock hose to the Throttle Body.  Available in 16 gauge aluminum OR Chrome plated steel for looks as well as performance.  Everything is included in the kit including clamps, connectors and instructions.  If you order the kit without the filter just be aware that the usual K&N cone filters will NOT work with this kit unless it has a 4"opening.  Please feel free to email me before you order if you have any questions.

NOTE!

This kit does not have provisions for the tube that goes from the stock oil filler to the MAF pipe.  I suggest that you either cap off the tube or run an aftermarket valve cover breather.

This is one nice hot air car!  Our system really helps dress up the motor compartment

1984 Buick Grand National owned by A.J. Hogan, even has Lear Siegler interior!

Front view of system

As you can see there is plenty of clearance to the master cylinder

You will need to rethink the oil fill cap assembly as no provision is made to attach from this to the MAF pipe.  I recommend just installing a breather instead.

This kit comes complete with hose clamps, filter and all necessary pipes and adapters.

Above pics show the chromed steel system installed on A.J. Hogans Turbo Regal.

Chrome hot air big mouth system All parts necessary to install the system are included.  (bracket for MAF sensor not shown) This is the pipe that goes from the MAF sensor to the rubber 90 elbow that goes thru the radiator support This is the pipe that goes from the MAF sensor to the throttle body.

Above pics show all the parts included in the kit.

Just a quick explaination of the materials used in our cold air kits.  We have discontinued our aluminized steel elbows and have replaced them with ACTUAL 16 gauge aluminum mandrel bent elbows.  This finish is not the most show worthy material as it may have scratches and small imperfections but gets the job done.   If you are not concerned about looks but are concerned with getting the lightest cold air kit  then this is the material for you.  Not that it looks bad but in my opinion it is not show worthy unless you rub out the finish with any good metal polish or paint it.  

Now the chrome pipes used, that's another story.  These are triple plated chrome steel and are definitely show-worthy right out of the box!  Since they are steel I coat the insides with POR-15 after careful prepping with "Metal Prep" to remove any rust and to prevent any future rust problems. 

A compliment from one of my customers!

Hi Mark,

I installed the cold air system on my 85 GN today.  I would like to compliment
you on your kit. First class, very high quality parts and materials used. The
install took about an hour. I was in no hurry. The instructions were very well
written and easy to follow. The kit fits perfectly!!! It is a pleasure dealing
with someone that is honest and has integrity and talent. Rare qualities to find
in a business today. I feel that I got more than what I paid for. Thanks!!!

Oh, I almost forgot, the car runs like hell. The cold air system made a huge
difference.

Thanks again,
Ben Eckert III
