After nearly 4 years.....

Well... after nearly 4 years...... my Syclone started up yesterday. This last weekend, I just hunkered down and worked on it everyday. Fired right up.. had a little issue with a few leaks, oil pressure at first.

Just finding the parts was a problem. Everything has been moved at least 3 times. I have parts for about 3 1/2 trucks. Bags and boxes that things had been organized into, are no longer organized...

A pic of Keith helping me with my shaft. Couple of years ago...

Had to call Brian and Brian. Brian and Brian helped me take the engine out way back when.

Just getting motivated enough to finish it was the problem. Hopefully it will drive.

Whats in it ?

0.30 block
JE Pistons
Eagle rods
Stock crank
L35 heads
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
Lots of other ARP hardware
412 cam...I think
Crane 1.6 aluminum roller rockers
Flowcooler waterpump
Fluiddamper
9/11 converter - KB OG - only like 3600 stall
Ivans OG rails
KB regulator
Stock injectors(for now)
Stock chip (for now)
Stock turbo
Stock manifolds
JS Engine mounts
Just about everything painted flat black.
Trans built by Cliff
I did have Flex a form springs on it but they broke.
Carbon fiber driveshaft

I have lots of other parts to put on it once it actually moves under its own power...

Brian asked me how long before I put the nitrous on it.... probably not long....I might let it break in first.

oh what turbo are you using?

I am using the stock turbo right now. I do have a GT72 laying around the shop somewhere....

I do like Air conditioning though... so that biznitch would have to be spaced a bit.

Oh yeah..... I have one of Renz's shafts too...

Some old Nitto drag radials....

Cal tracs in a box.

Boost gage that reads to 35 psi.... and I'm not afraid to use it.

Time and money. I have very little of either.

I now have 2 GT-R racecars to work on. One a World Challenge car , one a drag car I am driving.

And thats not including the 5 other GT-R's at the shop that are in various states of modifications. The 4 RB26's on stands....

One day....

I still want to sell the red one. If anyone knows anyone interested in a shell with no motor/trans, good interior.

I'd rather sell the red one and keep my originial black one. #0059

Someone, somewhere has some 50's for me. The chips aren't a problem. I was messing with chips long ago......the truck has an ATR double pumper with the dual 255HO pumps.

I was messing with 21-24 psi on pump gas a few years ago. Trying to down it in fuel.

I have Tunercat.... Promgrammer....Moates adaptors.....eprom emulators....burners.... Innovate wideband 02 sensor

I loaned the cluster to Victor - his speedo stopped working. The rear window went to Victor too... his suddenly burst on the freeway one day. He claims it wasn't a bullet, I'm not entirely sure. This is LA.

I have other parts I could sell along with the truck. I could part it out more.... maybe just turn it into a real race truck. But just a pipe dream. Takes money to do that.

I have a couple of motors. Couple of seats. Lots of other bits and pieces.
