Re: Syclone #1900 - Project Resurrection...++
I'm trying to get it done for Nats.....just not sure it's going to get there. If it does....then it probably won't be painted and probably won't have the cage. But we're definitely trying....we'll see. It might have to make the next big meet.

Mike....those are for the Motron/Seimens 60#'s that they run in the LS1 based stuff. They're good for high fuel pressures. At a base of 58-60 psi they're 70#'s.
Yeap....definitely cool....just hope it all comes together with good results. Hope to make an ass load of progress on it in the next few months.

Re: Syclone #1900 - Project Resurrection...++
Just a little update. In the midst of playing with everything else....we managed to get the core support modded and the headlight buckets made. I just didn't trust the fiberglass buckets that came with the support....so we made them out of aluminum. The fiberglass were well made....just would rather of had aluminum. We also modded the support to accompany the radiator we've decided to go with along with the hood locks as well. The factory hood latch will no longer be used either. Here some pics....Sorry for the quality....but they were off the iphone. Just can't remember to keep the good camera in the truck.
Now.....I finally was able to pic up the motor. Got it in the garage and just kind of through everything together really quick just to get an idea of what it would look like. I was excited....lol. Soon I hope to be able to finish up the install so we can start the downpipes. Unfortunately....things are going to slow down for a while. Got laid off.....and I'm sure whatever I can find (if anything) will be at a severe pay cut. Being a single income family.....a lot will be effected. But thankfully.....I knocked out a majority the expensive stuff while I could. It will be interesting to see what kind of pace things will move at then. Unfortunately....it means theres know way I'll make Nats this time around. Was really shooting for it. Anyway....sorry for rambling...lol... Here some quick pics of the engine. With everything I've picked up over the last couple of years....I should hopefully still be able to work on the Syclone. At least when it comes to the fabbed parts that need to be handled.....

Those are 19x9.5's in the front with 265/35-19's and 20x11's in the rear with 325/25-20's. I actually still have those wheels and tires and was planning on putting them on the Syclone for shows or what not, maybe some beltway runs. I'm just not so sure they'll look as good on a Syclone. But they got a lot of compliments on the Typhoon.

Re: Syclone #1900 - Project Resurrection...++
Thanks guys. Yeah....I kind of miss the Ty....and had seriously thought about buying it back before Deception picked it up. Guess it's a good thing I didn't....considering employment status and economy.

Re: Syclone #1900 - Project Resurrection...++
Ok...been a while since my last update. We've actually gotten a lot done to the truck since I last posted even though you may not be able to tell. We tore it all the way down to the frame and cleaned it all up. We did the garage booth style paint job and it turned out ok. I would call it a knit picker paint job. Basically means that I can find all kinds of flaws in it....but the average person probably wouldn't give a shit. Basically....when it's out at night having a good time on the street.....it should look just fine. I honestly think it looks 100X better than it did when I started. Anyway....still getting everything together on the truck....but figured I'd do a little update on it. The wheels on it in these pics are the street driven 19x9.5's wearing 265/35-19's in the front and the 20x11's wearing 325/25-20's in the rear.
Here are some of the shots a few months after we painted it....and did a quick wash on it.
Also took a few shots of the motor sitting it the truck. Basically playing with the different intakes. I wasnt' really impressed with the way the spacers came out for the sheet metal intake...so I'm kind of thinking about welding them straight to the intake and blending the ports to match the heads better. Plus I just don't like dealing with separate spacers. As far as the Daytona Dash intake....it matches the heads perfectly. And in all reality....I believe it'll make more power over the sheet metal intake. Mike Lee had told me that the sheet metal will outflow the DD intake by a long shot....but after looking at the port sizes....I'm not sure I can swallow that theory. So I imagine that I'll try to make my top numbers with the DD intake....and then once I start going for more of the show/performance stuff....I'll put the sheet metal on. In the pics you'll see that we got the crank trigger mounted up and the belt driven fuel pump as well.

Re: Syclone #1900 - Project Resurrection...++
We painted the cladding the same color as the truck.....but used a "Flex-N-Flat" clear on it. I believe it was PPG DCU2060. Basically this keeps the cladding black....without worry of sun fading due to the UV protection in the clear. The amount of reducer that is used in the Flex-N-Flat determines the amount of gloss. And I went for the least amount. I was looking for a definate black with no gloss. I'm pretty happy with the way the cladding came out. I'm anxious to get the graphics on it.

Re: Syclone #1900 - Project Resurrection...++
Yea....as good as my wife is about understanding my hobby....you should have seen the look on her face when the Syclone arrived. She couldn't quite understand why I would get rid of the perfectly driveable Typhoon and start the Sy project. It takes a truly understanding and loving woman to hang in there with me and deal with all my car non-sense. Atleast now when she looks at it.....she see's the potential....lol
