    Buying a 92 typhoon...need help

    It's either a clone or its missing the cladding. It was likely in an accident or recovered theft. 12.5k is way off the mark. I would be thinking in the 4k and under range depending on the condition of the truck.

    First down Drag Strip, here was the out come....

    You have to work on the launch, but its also seems like your running really rich. Are you using sticky tires? Unless your running a street tire, you 60's time should be 1.7's or better.

    High cost of ownership? Really?

    Maybe tuning has come from a long way on 80's 5.0 Mustangs, but back in the 90's you were doing pretty good to run 100 mph traps with just bolts on. (IIRC 95/96 mph was good stock 5 speed mph) To run 12's back then you need sticky tires and either heads/cam/intake, N2O or a SC. It cost about...

    tight front drive-axles

    What happenned to your original front axle. It almost sounds like you have front differential or transfer case viscous coupler problems. A locked Viscous coupler will lead to ruined front differential and front axle shafts. Here is a good post on how to test them. SyTy/SGT - Forums

    Scammed on Syty.net

    If it was TE-63 Turbo for SyTy, it would usually be a GN turbo with a 3 to 4 bolt adapter. I am guessing Pete is Turbo Guru :) On the flip side, the original poster seems to be leaving out info. If you really knew Turbo he would also know that a PTE52 is not a 52mm Turbo (60-1 59mm...

    4.3 turbo

    They were rated at 280hp (285hp in 93). The actual rating is more like 300hp according to a PAS employee.

    1991 GMC Syclone project

    If you going to be swapping the cladding, only 6 of the 14 pieces of Syclone cladding interchange with a Typhoon.

    Unexpected KILL that whipped you in a race?

    My friend lost to one of those as well in his bolt on Mustang, they guy ran low 13's at the track. His other shocker was losing to stock Syclone, when he had no idea what they were. My loss was to modified DSM on the way to the track from a roll, I kind of expected that I might lose...

    Anyone help with a turbo selection?

    I am not sure what your goals are, or how big your injectors are, or how much torque your transmission will take. A PTE6157 Ball Bearing Turbo would be fine for 2400 RPM stall. You might be a ble to go a little bigger as long as you stay with a Ball Bearing Turbo, but to really go noticable...

    Boost dropping near redline; is my PT51 maxed out running 11.45 ET?

    Syclone weight similair to a GN. Stock weight is 3550. Yes, the AWD does have more driveline losses compare to 2WD. I have never see any exact numbers but I would guess another 5-7%

    Boost dropping near redline; is my PT51 maxed out running 11.45 ET?

    A T04B is a small compressor housing especailly with upgrade heads and cam. Usually most people use T04E with 60-1 wheel (and that is considered a mild turbo). I wonder if it can't supply enough air at WOT?

    Whats Faster?

    Base priced GN's came pretty stripped as well. The biggest difference is they came with heavier steel wheels, and more often had heavier steel supports (87) and steel drums. (all of which aren't that hard to change) So the regular Turbo Regals variation have a small advantage. I think the...

    Whats Faster?

    Is this your own personal results? I would have assume the the GNX would have a slight advantage, but the sample size those running stock GNX's hard at the track is pretty small comapre to TTA's.

    401K Withdrawal!!!

    Atleast from a financial accounting point of view. A home is an asset, mortgage is the liability. A GNX is an asset, that has yearly expenses (Insurance, Storage, & Maintenance). It more if its not a good investment because its hard to make money on a car with all the yearly expenses...

    Turbo size

    On the compressor outlet (where it connects to the IC), my PTE 6131 has the turbo size engraved on it. You have to remove the Turbo to IC hose to see it.

    Question for the dog owners

    I haven't had to deal with the water issue, but leaving a bowl with food around all the time can lead to food guarding and aggression problems. Feed the dog enough food at his meal times, if he doesn't eat all of his food (within a reasonable time) take it away until his next meal. He...

    Be patient with me (Noob)

    Its definately not 85% of cars made today, but it might be 85% of the car R&T tests. IMO 1/4 is a better judge of speed, but a stock GN isn't going to fare that well either in today vehicles. GN ran low 14's, some broke into the high 13's. In 1986 & 1987, the only cars running 13's were...

    Financial Guru question???

    I agree. I like to have a little bit of a rainy day fund. My wife and I have been through 3 lay offs in the last 5 years, so that has changed our perspective quite a bit.
