Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

Sell the SY , if you dont like it .... pass it on to someone that WORSHIPS it .... there area a LOT of people out there ---

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

No one as far as I know has ever gone that fast or had that much power in an AWD Ty. I say use a Ty and see what happens. It will be way more fun at the stoplight race with you and 3 friends in the truck.

Do it with a ty and take some friends with you..! The only way to roll

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

Whoa!

I get that alot :lol:

But my cars are a little faster and when I get on a bike theres no one faster so long as I get on the same one. I went .2 faster on my buddies Busa than him the first time I rode it :tup:

i think he went on a diet so he could snatch up high chair wheelies a little easier! :tup:

Ask the stunt teams around Chicago who I am and they'll tell you about that. They gave me the name Huck Nasty. Because "You huck that shit up yo and that shits just nasty!"(Mike G. - Team Select Few). And if I dieted, I'd weigh 110lbs. 115 is actually normal for me. Ive just been inactive since Ive moved. I sit and play playstation all day and eat out of boredom.

Back on topic, WindedV6 makes a good point. And since you said you want it to appear stock other than a cage the sy will be lighter. I'd do the sy if it were me. It is cool having 3 friends with you when you kick someones ass, but unless those 3 friends have helmets and harnesses on I wouldnt want to have them in something that fast with me anyways.

I wondered why/where you got that name on your Myspace page. Oh yeah, When did you move out of Pekin? I see Liberty, IN now on your Sig.

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

fyi:
...I always thought Parish`s AWD Silverado was a sleeper (and didn't it have "only" 600+hp ??).
Imagine pulling up along side a "pickup farm-truck" only to be blown away literally. It was a big hit in hot rod mag/Power Tour.
Did he ever crack the single digit mark? IMHO a Sy at a stop light is not a sleeper vehicle (as a comparison pickup).
A Ty....maybe.

Is Hoover 9 sec ex-Sy street regularly driven? What was its hp/torque figures (perhaps another example to learn from for vehicle choice).

Within the DSM and Skyline AWD community I "think" they cracked the 7 sec 1/4 mile barrier long ago,
but the question becomes "whether any of these vehicles are/could-be street driven" regularly?
This would revel the traction limitations/benefits (as at some high hp figure even AWD
can't hook up) and pitfalls (ie turbo lag, brake torquing, spooling and stopping at red light intersections) with 7 - 8 sec 1/4 mile vehicles.
Might be 1500hp is too much for any non-slick 60 foot street surface (Sy or Ty).

Might wanna also ask the canadians (Campbell Auto) who were building several 1000+hp engines (one to go into a tahoe I believe, altho it might be 2wd)
what type of vehicle works out best Sy or Ty.
They do a lot of dyno testing. Course it may just be owner/availability preference.

Hot Rod Mag has a short article about a new fad...flashlight dragracing (like the old days).
No rollbar or helmets or tree - just show up at the local airport for straight up racing.
Turns out its only 1/8 mile, and the poor traction surface makes everyone equal (pro-stockers, pro-touring,
big block muscle cars, whatever). They must run on DOT tires, and be licensed vehicles with
insurance. The author claims 500hp cars have just as good a chance of winning as 1000hp
ones because traction is a problem (and is the reason liability is not an issue) which limits hp/track speed.
This might lead one to believe a moderately modded Sy or Ty would have advantage over massive
amounts of hp/tq vehicles. Dunno.

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

bdubb- you have a point, but it will see the track once and a while. How many runs would I even get at an RSD before they booted me? Probably 1 or 2 at best.

And yes, the power can certainly be too much for the street but I think it is still the best case scenario in an all wheel drive vehicle with a good boost controller. I could even run some sort of traction control.

Parish was popping out over 1000 to the wheels and never managed to get into the 9's. Granted he weighed in at 5800 pounds too....lol. Damn nice truck and was definitely an inspiration when I was doing a full size.

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

I am in the middle of a very similar build right now. And the last at the crank specs were about 1600hp and nearly 1700 ft/lbs of torque. Any way that is running about 28 psi I personally doubt the boost will ever be set above 10 psi.

These are very small TRUCKS, they do have great traction and have done some impressive things for being a brick. But they have a high center of gravity and a short wheel base.
If you want it to race look into a set up as WindedV6 did on his prostreet projects or something similar. Truthfully I believe your set up and mine would be better suited to a modified vette or some sort of low sports car.
But if you want to be a street worrior or the fastest thing around don't waste your time "there is always something faster". <--- Hears this everytime I work on my truck.

Also as for the track a friend has a 7 second vette that did not have a cage and he wanted to run what he brung they did not even let hime near tech inspection. It is hard to hide a couple turbo's on an lsx motor in a mini truck they know what will happen and if they are a good track they should not let you run. Also I do not see a traction control deive doing much good since with that much power once you are spinning you are already out of control.

I am not bashing the idea since I am doing it as well, but I have come to realize this over the time I have been working on this that its too much and at a certain point becomes ridiculous. But it does have a great wow factor.
Sorry about any miss spellings and the novel just thought I would add my thoughts here.

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

Yes, I do realize there is always something faster. Not looking to be "king of the street", just building the truck for my own personal enjoyment.

My Camaro pulled 1.5X 60fts on 17in drag radials at the track. I would be lucky to pull a 1.9 60ft on the street.

If I could pull somewhere in the low 1.6 60ft range on the street with this truck it would be a tremendous improvement and actually be enjoyable from a dead stop instead of just 65mph+.

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

How about you make my collection a little more complete and trade the Sy for my White/Grey? Not sure if Dubb has mentioned anything to you but he can vouch for the overall condition of my truck and mediate if this sounds like something you are interested in.

i cant believe im saying this; definately long overdue though. I need a Sy in my life
Lemme know.

With 1500hp even on the street I see 1.5X 60ft's Of course getting the track equipment to measure 60ft accuractly on the street will be difficult.

G-Tech measures 60ft pretty good. I was messing around a couple of years ago, at night, on the street. Pulled a 9.61 at 147mph and a 1.60 60ft. with my syclone. l only did it once. I am sure I could knock a tenth or more off my 60ft. and get down into the 1.50's if I kept plugging at it. We'll see what happens this summer. The G-Tech is great if you can't get to the track much.

I'm sure with Jim's tuning skills and a good progressive boost controller, launching will not be a problem.

Re: Typhoon or Syclone for high HP build

Do a TY. I am doing a LSX Sy but with only a big single turbo. 1500hp? Why stop there

That won't be a problem... some 28" DRs on lightweight rims will do the job. You'll likely have to detune the bottom end a bit.
