"NO CLASS"
Hi all. I have just purchased a 92' Ty and I am new to the Sy-Ty scene and could use a little help with three questions.
1. A friend had a Syclone a few years ago and got an A.T.R. chip # S137TX-528 REV. 1101for it. He said it was great but needed super with octane booster most all the time. A.T.R. is out of business and I can't find any info on this chip he want's to sell me. Any one able to help me out here with specs or real user experience?
2. I will be doing bolt on / non value damaging mods and would like to see about 400-450 h.p. Is this possiable with the stock exhaust manifolds or will I have to have custom headers made? A.T.R. made these but is gone now and I am not finding any other sources if the stock exhaust won't handle 400-450.
3. There are a lot of different turbo setups out there right now and being a supercharger guy (roots type) till now, I am kind of handicapped about turbo specific info. and was wondering if someone can give actual experience based knowledge on let's say several of the turbos listed below:
"We have a very unique very powerful turbocharger that has a fresh professional rebuild and warranty. This turbo is an upgrade unit for the GMC and Chevy Cyclone and Typhoon turbocharged vehicles. It has a new 8 cm turbine housing, a TDO6 turbine wheel, a fresh rebuilt center section with a HI-FI 60-1 Garrett TO4 Turbonetics compressor side. The compressor wheel was purchased new for this turbo as well. This turbo has a T3 style turbine inlet flange and is very suitable for many applications where 500 horsepower is desired"
Note: This company says this is a direct bolt on with no mods required, works with the factory boost control, makes an efficent 20-22 lbs. boost and turbo lag is only 200 R.P.M. greater than stock. A 2800 stall and it would not even be noticed - End quote.
"This a true bolt on full Garrett turbocharger specifically designed for the Sy/Ty, this is not a hybrid. Why spend the money on a ported and clipped 20g (44 lbs/min)? When you can bolt on a Full Garrett T3 / T4 turbo to your Syclone/Typhoon truck. Run a full Garrett turbo on your GMC without changing your manifold and downpipe. This Garrett T04B V-Trim (48 lbs/min) turbocharger will bolt on to your stock manifold and downpipe without any additional modifications. This turbocharger is designed to operate most efficiently at 300-450 horsepower at the wheels (proper engine modifications required). Oil feed and drain modifications required. Also included is our monster 38mm internal wastegate and custom actuator." End quote.
Thanks in advance for helping a "Newbie"
