    Need some info on Turbos

    Was looking over this site for Garrett turbos and I need some info. Previously I was told a GT61 or better would be ideal for my engine. Looking at the site it appears that the GT61 is luckily one of the cheapest turbos listed. Why is it so much cheaper than a turbo with smaller HP rating...

    Where is the heat sending unit?

    Another issue. The truck never heats beyond 100 on the gauge. I just replaced the 160 therm with a 180, thinking it would help, but no. It also just had the heater core replaced last week. Problem persists. I figure it may be the sending unit since the truck gets hot fairly quick and blows very...

    I think I blew my turbo!

    Just when everything is running great and I am turning towards upgrading the cosmetics things took a turn for the worse. I was driving to grab a bite to eat tonight and got into a race with a Crossfire (1st kill by the way, if it those even count). Everything was well, then on an open stretch I...

    Picture request: air compressor and air shocks

    Does anyone have a picture showing where the air compressor is under the Ty? I am sure you just follow the hoses attatched to the shocks, but wouldn't mind a pic if anyone has one available. Also, what are the cons with disconnecting/de-fusing your air compressor and leaving the air shocks...

    Question about plugged off vacuum lines

    I noticed I have a couple vacuum lines that don't appear to be doing anything. One runs from the charcoal canister under the driver's headlamp, behind the alternator and was just hidden alongside the intake. There is a matching vacuum line that says "to cannister -->" which comes from...

    Anyone else have Kenne Bell headers?

    How did you manage to change out the #2 and #4 plugs? I think I will have to get it on a lift and remove the starter to have access to them. the header is right behind the plug with only about 1" clearance. I changed out the other 4 (3 of them being fouled) and there is a huge difference...

    Got rid of the detonation, but more ignition questions (MSD)

    For those that remember my truck had some serious problems with running rich and pre-ignition issues. I just had it tuned today by a genious with Accel 6, and all that is behind me now. It runs extremely smooth now, but another problem has come up. It seems that when you stand on the gas it...

    Braided turbo hose request

    My turbo has 2 small hoses coming from it, I guess they are oil cooler lines, the one closest to the firewall is braided and the other is just rubber fuel hose. The rubber one is starting to leak a little, plus it looks like hell. Is there a place I can get a replacement braided line? Thanks.

    Interested in going with white rims (ps help?)

    I think 5point white would look pretty good on a white/white Ty. Can anyone photoshop a set on one for me? Here is a pic I found online: http://www.speedomotive.com/1994GMC-Typhoon.JPG http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=66483&item=7930854749&rd=1#ebayphotohosting...

    Front Air dam/IC scoop

    Found this link here with a really nice setup with pics: http://lists.woodcrestmen.org/pipermail/syty/2004-May/000379.html Is this a kit that is sold somewhere? Anyone know more about it? I have seen some other ones, namely fiberglass, but I'd rather have something made out of plastic.

    New Ty in Albuquerque

    May as well mention it, picked up my Ty from Denver and brought it home to Albq. I have only known of one other one in town which is very plain looking (brownish/grey) and it sits in the driveway all the time. The owner doesn't take very good care of it I believe. Am I alone in Albq, here?
