1992 Typhoon number 1353
Truck came from Arizona then Nevada, (have paperwork and owner history to prove) I had it shipped here last year. She has Just under 100K (cluster replaced due to non operational coolant temp and oil pressure gauges, and incorrect tachometer and speedometer)
I rescued this truck from a state of neglect. I purchased the truck non/ barely running and in poor condition, the interior was destroyed. Since I have owned it I have replaced or preformed the following modifications.
SUSPENSION
Rear disk brake conversion Ls1 (12 Inch rotor) Parking Brake removed
Powder coated rebuilt calipers and mounting brackets, new rotors and pads
All rear brake lines from proportioning valve back are stainless steel
Rear springs replaced with Bell tech 3 inch drop springs
Custom made ¼ inch rear diff centering blocks
Front brakes were converted to 13 inch Corvette c5 rotors slotted rotors
SSBC tri power 3 piston billet calipers (use corvette c5 pads)
Bear trackers installed on front to eliminate Bump steer
Front axle shafts were rebuilt and powder coated a gloss black
New Pitman arm and steering box (quicker ratio AGR box)
Front end aligned and inspected
Both front wheel Hubs replaced
Power steering pump and lines replaced
Rag Joint eliminated in steering shaft for better steering response
Lower bearing in column replaced
Wheels and tires were upgraded to 18inch Boyd Codington billet wheels (factory wheels were damaged beyond repair)
Tires are Toyo T1R 295 30-18 and 265/35-18 front
Lug Nuts replaced with Black Hard coated lugs to prevent rust and better appearance
INTERIOR
Carpet replaced
Headliner recovered (faux Suede)
400 sq foot of sound deadener installed to quiet ride
Custom stereo installed (factory stereo removed by old owner)
CD head unit in dash
4x6 Boston Acoustics plates in dash
JL audio 5.25 components installed in custom kick panel pods
Fosgate 5.25 components in rear
12 inch JL audio woofer in custom built fiberglass box to look factory
Soundstream amplifier Sa-245 to run speakers
All new speaker wire ran for all speakers
3 sets of RCAs ran for interconnect Street wires 5.0 and Phoenix gold QLX directional
4 gauge wiring ran to back fuse protected
Custom leather shift boot installed
Center console lamps and dome light converted to LED bulbs
Auto meter gauges in Lotec pillar pod Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Boost
Trans Temp gauge mounted into dash can be reversed (parts included)
Heater core replaced
Door seals replaced
Rear window popper/latch upgraded and rebuilt
Both Power window motors were replaced
Both exterior Door handles were replaced
Both interior door handles replaced
Power train
Fresh Tune - Cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Taylor wires, NGK ur5 plugs, fuel filter Both PVC valves correct GM pieces
Replaced positive and negative battery cables, custom “power cell” installed to replace battery (smaller and lighter)
Starter cables rerouted and heat shielded to prevent problems
Alternator upgraded to larger 140 amp with the GM CS-144 case (more reliable) new wire from Alternator to battery for proper charging
Water pump replaced with Edelbrock High flow aluminum. All belts and hoses replaced
New 195 degree thermostat installed. Water outlet powder coated clear to prevent corrosion
Astro van 7 blade fan installed. Better cooling and quieter also lighter to reduce wear on water pump
A/C reinstalled previous owner removed??????
High flow intercooler pump installed into factory location
Intercooler pump “hot wired” for better cooling
Power master 9500 mini starter installed
“Purple wire” issue fixed
Remote oil filter lines rebuilt with silicone seals to prevent future problems
Custom chip, deleted EGR and drivability, not a performance chip.
Cold air intake due to cracked factory system
Muffler deleted to give truck grumble Not very loud due to converter and turbo
Chrome rear diff cover
Fuel pump upgraded to Walboro 155
Transmission was rebuilt by previous owner about 4k miles ago shifts nice and firm
Headlamps converted to H4 bulbs for better nighttime driving.
Rear window wiper has been deleted, for better cosmetic appearance. Can be reinstalled if buyer chooses all wiring remains
Truck runs and drives excellent as I have repaired and upgraded all the common problem areas on the truck to make it as problem free as possible. Does need some exterior work as it is a 16 year old truck small Dent in RH rear corner below taillamp and the cladding (body kit)will need to be refinished, the Roof rack was removed but can be easily bolted back on.
9000.00 firm as i dont really need to sell but im pretty much done with it and im bored and want another to tinker with
