    Selling Wife's TY Is Becoming Appealing

    We're all set to have our baby boy in October. This has inspired me to ask the question, is having two Typhoons really worth it? First off, my wife's Ty has been a pretty good truck. Of course, I don't drive it so that is likely why. One thing that bothers me about the Typhoon is that there...

    Bad news on the dyno today

    Well, I thought for sure I could get this thing to 275awhp. It looks like it stayed right where it was at, 250hp. ****ing POS. What is odd is that the truck runs so much better than it used to and feels way faster. Any way, I noticed something throughout the pulls, the WB reading on DM was 11.6...

    TBSS race

    Well, last night I went to visit Mr. Austin up in Denver. Austin is AUSyTyIN here and got a chance to race him in his new TBSS. First we went for a ride in it and I thought it was a sweet ride. Felt faster than the Ty too. But I guess it's different when you're the passenger. First race we...

    A completed code59 tune

    Well how bout that! I finally have a closed loop wideband code59 tune completed. As far as I can tell there is nothing left to do on it. Top end feels good, truck launches great, driveability is seamless, hot and cold starts are consistent and everything just feels smooth. I have to say, I am...

    20g WG actuator setting

    It has been a while so forgive me, if I shorten the wastegate rod, I will be able to make more boost right? So if 95% WGDC gets me 16psi, decreasing rod length should change those #'s? Right?

    Just wondering if there is any reason why I shouldn't use the PLX DM5 for running E85?

    JE extreme Duty or Diamond pistons?

    Which do you guys think is better? I have been running JE extreme duty and think they are pretty nice but I have some bigger plans now and lets just say it's time to push it. Shit or get off the pot time. SO I am wondering, is either one any better than the other?

    Pulled my motor out today

    Here is what I found. We went ahead and pulled the motor out this afternoon. Once it was on the stand, I tore it down to the block. I noticed my passenger side exhaust manifold is developing the famous crack. We took the heads off and when my brother put the driver side head on the bench, we...

    Leak down test results.

    1-16% 2-25% 3-33% 4-45% 5-76% 6-20% I couldn't tell where the air was leaking, I couldn't feel air coming from anywhere but I did hear it. It was muffled, I assume that means it was coming from the crank case?

    Looks likemy turbo is dead

    In every way! All I can say is, I should have stopped driving the damn thing when I knew the exhaust wheel was bad. Should have should have should have. Oh well, looks like I'll be needing a whole new unit. Shot at 2012-03-04 Shot at 2012-03-04 I got my leak down tester the other day and I...

    Thanks pte!!!!

    I just called pte to try and see if I should get a bigger Turbo. They told me to call Mike Lee. I told the Guy that altitude was a factor and he said the problem is that I'm dealing with a bitch vehicle. Then Joe hung up on me:rotf: so I called back heard background noise then I was...

    Lightest Typhoon?

    Who has a light Ty? What weights have you guys gotten them down to? I am at 3800 with full interior and sound system. I plan to start piecing things together for summer of 2013 to re-do the entire interior. My plan, is to find a material that I can make trim pieces out of that look like interior...

    Special thanks to SYTYGUY!!!

    Thanks Mike!! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to you sending me the key FOB. I threw it in a box of things to do when the truck breaks again and forgot about it. The truck broke again so I looked through the box and there it was. ] Mr. Hood was kind enough to send me a key FOB for no...

    Re-sleeving block

    After racing the other night, as I was getting home I noticed I was smoking out the tail pipe pretty good. Now it is pretty steady except it mainly smokes after I am in boost. I am coming to the conclusion that the motor just needs to come out. My block is already .040 and I really don't want to...

    Think my turbo is letting go

    I went out this afternoon and took the TY. Once the truck warmed up I got on it to about 15psi and I heard an all too familiar screeching sound. Sounded like the compressor wheel hitting the housing or exhaust wheel. As the day progressed, I noticed that I couldn't really hear the turbo whistle...

    Tire size for racing

    I am almost in need of new tires. I have been running Sumitomo HTRZII's for years now. So far I can say they are alright. For a street tire they hook very well but really don't last too long but, for the money you really can't go wrong. I am running C5 OEM Z06 wheels and have been running...

    Best way to do oil cooler

    With out resorting to the stock set up, what are some of you guys doing for oil coolers? I am really more or less looking for the oil filter adapter to go to AN lines. I am not sure where I am going to mount this thing but I definitely need one. After two 1/4 runs, my pressure went from 22psi...
