Well im talkin to a guy about a typhoon and hes got some work done to it but it has a ton of miles. this truck would be a daily driver with me putting maybe 5-6k a yr in it with the occational 400 miles trip. I know there isnt a huge typhoon following here but you guys are pretty smart lol Its the dark green color with the grey cladding. Im interested in it but im more of the v8 guy and dont know too much about the wimpy 6's

biggest upgrade is the bad *** bulletproof trans
built by the best- George Blake- its incredible!!
9/11 3000 stall
braided cooler lines and external filter
PT-51 with polished compressor cover
ATR 3" stainless full exhaust with test pipe and cutout
Gilbert propshaft
manual boost valve
custom chip- set for 18psi
johnson IC pump hardwired to run all times
heater hose mod to replace the hard lines
elec fan
elec water pump
drilled rotors
braided abs delete kit
optima yellow top, polished billet mount in back right corner out of the way.
K&N filter
triple guage pillar pod with:
boost- fuel press- EGT (this ones not hooked up)
all autometer ultralite
WideBand O2 not installed yet- waiting till i learn to tune on my other Ty before I get into this one since this one runs good already. I have everything you need to do code 59 tuning on it.
A/C is still there but I haven't tried to charge it, I'm sure it has a leak somewhere, i just never use it.
temp/compass in overhead console
jeep steering shaft (gets rid of the sloppy rag joint)
stock CD player
no roof rack
stock wheels and a set of Z06 vette wheels if you want.
I also have vortec heads, new Ferrea valves (2.02/1.60), 422 comp cam, 50lb injectors if wanted for future upgrades to put the truck in the 11's. Its an old and proven SyTy recipe, the cam and injectors are off my other Ty I rebuilt last summer.

current performance:
runs 7.9's - 1/8th 1.68- 60'
12.7's - 1/4 from previous owner- I haven't been down the 1/4, only been down the 1/8 a few times.
I measured the 0-60 on datamaster a few years ago- I think it was 3.8 sec. I dont remember for sure though.

Im sure there's more I've left out that the previous owner did that I cant think of right now. Scott G from Detroit Turbo had the truck before me and had a lot of stuff done. I've added some things and fixed a few little things that didn't work. bought the stock wheels for it and drive it quite a bit. I've put about 35,000 miles on it in the last 4 years since I bought it.
The mileage is at 175,000 now and its been problem free. No smoke at all. I use Mobil 1 oil and the good filters.

I paid $10,000 4 years ago but like I said, the paint is starting to look bad, body is straight with the only rust starting over the back window (typical for these). Underneath is rust free also.



'93 Ty #0352 if you want to search on it. Green/Grey, the one in my avatar.

 

I had A red and grey one back in the day, minus the typical gm squeaks and rattles it was a good truck, and i wouldnt mind owning another one today. Your best bet for good info though would be the syty forum which i think is where you probably found that truck, i may go lurking there now after seeing that green one lol

 

lol yeah im on over there

 

Well I can't be any help but I do love those

 

Who's the current owner? This is Scott G., curious to know where my old truck is these days

 

Nevermind, just saw the fire thread

Please tell me you at least kept the trans?

 

You should PM forum member TNSYTY. He has one and knows a lot about them. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/memb...19-tnsyty.html

 

You just had to bring this up didnt ya Just messing with you. I do miss that truck alot though. I think my 4yr son misses the boost launches more than me though. lol I actually bought it back from the Ins. but I just idnt have the resourses or the time to rebuild it. I did sell it to a syty member (bigmike) and it is being rebuilt as we speak so its not completly dead. It had a crap load of miles on her and a ton of boost launches but she was actually very reliable. I drove her all the way back from NC to Delaware with out an issue.
