How exactly can u tell its quicker if there's nothing clocking secs/mph ? A 50mph sprint from 30mph isn't much proof to go off of 😅, but car is nice and definitely has potential
I like the thought of having a bigger engine in the car but surprisingly the 4 cylinder has more hp than the 6 with the supercharger. So its not a complete loss.
So sad GM gave up in north America 😢 in Europe they got an insignia opc 2.8 v6 with the exact same body would be a dream to have one and rebadge to a regal
Nice. Got a 2014 Buick T here. About to pull plug on a BNR. Can't wait. What intake you running? CAI? Any problems w/ Codes? its 2022, any more mods to the Buick?
I have a K&N cold air intake with a bnr tune in this video. Never threw a code for the 1.5 years it was on the car. Currently I have a z54 turbo, same intake, and a tune through zzperformance. I posted a quick video on it but never got around to posting a full review and comparison.
It's all good. I found like two videos of people doing pulls. But it was from like 2012 when the car was released so you know the quality of the video isn't all the best.
You could go on bad news racing website and order one specifically for the car you have. I however did upgrade the turbo since and they did not have a tune to support the mods so I got a tune from Matt at ZZPerformance. I haven't done a video with it yet.
@@DanKacey Nice, I have a 12' GS as well. Mines auto though. I have the K&N intake, ZZP downpipe, Forge Atmos BPV, and the BNR tune. Resonator deleted. There tuner Jerry does an amazing job. I had to send my log 2-3 times and he got it dialed perfect.
@@DanKacey I like it. I currently still have my stock mufflers, so it's not as loud as yours would be. But my exhaust is full 3 in from the turbo to the Y pipe. I cut out the resonator and replaced it with a 3 in stainless pipe. I want to delete my mufflers and put in a single Borla XR-1
@@shawnh3206 that sounds like a good idea. Have you thought about the zzp turbo? That's going to be my next upgrade. Just need the time my car will be out of commission
So far so good. It's my daily driver so I have gotten to use it and test it out. However gm has said that the transmission is only good to 295 lbs and thats what the car is rated at stock. So will it last? I guess I'll find out lol
Still running strong. I changed my tune out to a zzperformance tune a couple months because I upgraded my turbo. As far as the BNR tune it ran perfectly fine.
It can handle alot more than that. I have an hhr ss with the 5 speed, and have been told by performance tuners that the 6 speed from one of these is good for like 900 ponies.
Bro ...I feel you ...up now...anxious to get out and cop this 2015 gs...of course I'd rather a 2018 or 2020...but the gs awd are very hard to come across in Cali...closest one is a 2018 in years for 28k...no thanks ...keep looking man....I had a 2011 cxl...loved it
I know this video doesn't really show it all that well but it's actually decently quick. I just put a boost gauge in the car and it hits 22psi and from what I read the engine can handle that all day. It won't beat any newer muscle car without proper mods but most people don't expect this boat to get up to speed as quick as it does.
A company called zzperformance makes bolt on turbo upgrades and more for this car and they easily get their cars with this platform into the 350 wheel hp. With all the right supporting mods they got cars into the 400-450 whp as well. The engine seems very reliable and also seems to hold mods well so in short I'd have to say yes I do like the 4 cylinder they put in it
You're right. The tune alone doesn't make it much faster. Just noticeable. I since got a slightly bigger turbo from zzp and an intercooler with a new tune for it all. That being done it is definitely faster than stock
this car really deserves so much more attention

This is cool and those 4clyinder turbo regal gs's are dope but i was looking for 3800 V6 GS
Yeah my buddy has one and they are also quicker than you'd normally expect them to be.
Buick missed the marck by noy having the 3.8 supercharged version, like a little older versions
I like the thought of having a bigger engine in the car but surprisingly the 4 cylinder has more hp than the 6 with the supercharger. So its not a complete loss.
Less displacement and more power, it wasn’t meant to be a big body with a 3800 it was setup to compete with other hood handling 4 cylinders
So sad GM gave up in north America 😢 in Europe they got an insignia opc 2.8 v6 with the exact same body would be a dream to have one and rebadge to a regal
That sound was nothing bad. It was just the wastegate and now having more boost you could hear it. Sounds sick wish you ran the gears all the way out.

How can I find axles and parts ? Will regular Buick regal axle fit ?
@@DanKaceydid you ever try trifecta tune? Just curious how it compares to the BNR
@@22lbsboost I've never used trifecta before so unfortunately I don't have a comparison for you
All they did besides the 6 speed option is take the 13-15 Chevy Malibu Ltz 2lz package and put it in the gs which I loved in my Malibu.
Why is there no vids of full pulls on these cars -_-
I will have more videos of this car when the winter weather leaves.
@@DanKacey awesome car not talking trash just haven’t found any full throttle pulls on these
It's all good. I found like two videos of people doing pulls. But it was from like 2012 when the car was released so you know the quality of the video isn't all the best.
I will be posting my 2014 as I start to build it. I am planning on using ZZPerformance for my tune, down pipe, high flow cat. and intake.
How can I get the tube ?

What mods do you have done?
K&N cold air intake
Muffler delete
Tuned by BNR
As of right now that's all

Hows the downpipe? I was looking into it but didn't want the car to be extremely loud or droney inside.
