Re: Bubba's Typhoon
Mark Edwards: So if you are blocking off the EGR passage, are you also removing the CEL from the dash because that will be on a lot unless you remove the ECM or re programme it.
Joseph Keller: Mark....did you think the CEL wasn't going to be on from all of the other stuff that was removed?
Bubbas East Coast Rods & Customs: Thanks for the defense Joe! I have intentionally not engaged with all those who keep taking shots at Bubba and the way he resolved the customers problem. Bubba did the RIGHT thing and now she runs and very reliably. The ECM was removed so the CEL is not coming on. It's not worth fighting with people who don't know the WHOLE story or who were not part of the build process. The simple fact remains that she runs, runs well and drives amazing after many years of sitting because of how butchered she was. Thanks again for the defense Joe. It's greatly appreciated!
Mark Edwards: I am genuinely curious to know how you got around a lot of technical issues. Maybe if you posted a video of the truck running, that would slience the detractors.
Would you do that? Are you familiar with a SyTy boost launch?
Bubbas East Coast Rods & Customs: Mark, you raise a very good point! I'm SICK of the attacks on Bubba over this! I will have out IT Manager record a video on Monday and share it with you. But know this. The truck runs, it runs extremely well and does EXACTLY what the customers budget allowed for. If you have technical questions you would like Bubba to address e mail me at
tom@bubbascustomcars.com and I will sit with Bubba and provide you with answers. Bubba does not run this face book page, I as his Manager do. Perhaps some of the confusion is in the way I wrote the descriptions but I can promise you it's not in the way Bubba did the job! I want the attacks to stop from everyone over this. It's enough already. what good is accomplished over ripping someone to shreds when that is not the issue? Bubbas technical knowledge is FAR superior to mine so I don't have ALL the answers but if there is a legitimate question I will get you an answer.
Paul Roth: Mark is on the money... .boost launches are the best in a Syclone or a Typhoon! To do this: 1. Put the truck in neutral 2. Rev it a few times to and press down on the brakes as much as possible to build brake pressure 3. Keep your foot on the brake 4. Shift to DRIVE (NOT OVER DRIVE) 5. Start pressing on the gas pedal now to build up boost.
6. When the boost is where you want it and it is time to go, release the brake and slam the gas at the same time.
Bubbas East Coast Rods & Customs: Paul, That sounds like fun but the truck belongs to a customer and we treat our customers cars with a lot of respect so if that happens it wont be from our vantage point and as the customers is in a wheel chair and we are also installing hand controls for him I'm sure he wont be doing that either. But one thing is certain. The customer will now have a nice, reliable daily driver after sitting for so many years useless because it wouldn't even start prior to coming to our facility.
Mark Edwards; what a cock! Thanks Joe for having bubba's back.
Dear God! Hand controls? I wonder if this will involve baling wire and duct tape.
I know people are thinking this thing will be slow but I don't think it will. If the boost is kept at stock levels, easily done with a manual boost controller, and the intake piping holds up to the boost with out popping off, I think it will haul ass for a little while. The carb can provide enough fuel to match the boost, driveability is going to suck tho. After a couple of runs, the carb will be so hot from the lack of intercooling, it will have fuel boiling out of it. Even if that doesn't happen, that much hot air is going to cause the engine to self destruct from all knock. It probably won't have any timing advance and just run locked timing. Could lock out at low advance to help the engine live longer but this is Bubba! Lets give it as much timing as it needs to run Bubba style! I'll stop now and end it with poor owner. I hope he makes it here and someone helps him De-Bubba it.
