I guess its like. WOW!! This thing sure is fast with one turbo. Just think how fast it will be with two turbos!!!
That would be fun to find out!

Re: Why Mod an engine?
Sometimes it is easier said than done. I bought my Syclone and tried to do it right. I already had a scan tool. Within a month, I had replace the fuel pump, IC pump, and did a full tune up. I did everything i could think but I never could get this Syclone to run right on an ultimate chip on low boost. I pull the engine a part to find a cracked piston ringland.
I then started while I am in there modding.

Re: Why Mod an engine?
I came from the Buick world and these beast are completley different animals!!!!!
Maybe if they made them longer they would have been able to work out the kinks!!!
Mine runs great now and a big thanx to Rob on here who helped me out a lot:tup:
I'm still hesitant getting on it without a visual of knock all the time, ordering my moates meter shortly for peace of mind:lol:

Re: Why Mod an engine?
Yep.. Me too.... Buick's Blow headgaskets... Sy/Ty's Trash bearings. Easy way to put it.
I'd rather spend a afternoon replacing headgaskets than a few months with a entire engine.
On the tuning end of things LOTS of Buick support...Chip's for everything and every
combo.
With the Sy/Ty's you need a code59 Mentor/teacher. It's a little tricky to set up at first
and learn all the names and perameters for everything and what they do. Once
it's set up and you get a grasp of what's going on it's not real difficult and kinda fun.
I did a 93 Typhoon to code59 and FMIC 3yrs ago... I called him last week to check up on
it... He said it's been perfect since it left here. It was having issues before it came here
running 7psi and popping the check engine light on all the time. He never drove it.
Now it's at 18psi and drives awesome....
If I'd have had a choice I'd have left our truck stock. It ran 13.0@100 with 3bar chip and
FMIC. drove it daily and my wife raced it lots. Since we broke in 06 it's been a big
process and time consuming getting it back to where it should be.
Thanks to Jeff for being my Mentor/Teacher and I Pass that information and stuff I've
learned to the next person as much as possible.:tup:

On the Ty "Tiger", what am I looking at as far as upper intake and TB ?? Looks pretty good.

Re: Why Mod an engine?
Well... the wife would not approve a 4bbl style intake.. she wanted the stock one but I hated the air flow of it... So I had a buddy block off the stock dual throttle body area and smooth out the bump on the other side... weld in a peice up front for a LS1 style throttle body in the forward position...
Renz made a phonelic plenum spacer and I made a screen to go under it to ballance the air flow.
Here are a couple other pic's of it in the process.
Also 2003 4.3L accrys up front. (alternator/power steering ect.)

Re: Why Mod an engine?
You need a good tune to start the mod sequence. When you take it to the next level with alternative fuel systems, with their own computers, they are relying on the base computer to make their own calculations. If PC 1 runs bad, everything passed that point doesn't make much sense, does it?
And the computers need to be updated (good with code59) to cope with the age difference and performance of the ECM's. If the 92 computer is too slow, it's also never gonna work.
Hope it makes sense

Re: Why Mod an engine?
To see how long it takes to blow up?:rotf:
My quest is to see how far the stock longblock will take me! Im hoping for some 6.90s in the 1/8ths when the weather cools off a little more!! 26/27 psi on Q16!! 26 degrees of timing should get me there..
