Re: Intercooler, alky, and general tuning questions. Thanks for the reply!! So the chip is from turbotweak burned for alky. The alky kit of course is from Julio, that's the only kit I'll use on anything, always excellent! I can't recall exactly what the sensors were at but they were within...

What's up forum. Doesn't seem like there's much traffic on this forum? First I would like to introduce myself. I go by Turboelky on whatever forums or social media I'm part of. I come here with some specific questions and ideas I'm hoping some of you can answer or maybe have accomplished! I have...

Re: Custom billet Cranks by SCAT or KINGS Damn. That sucks. The split journal crank is what makes it suck so bad. Luckily with the Buicks, cranks are readily available. $2500 for a crank I would be looking into an LS swap or something.

Re: Looking for info on old chip box?? I did see the solenoid was still hooked up. It still has an internal wastegate, so I'll take a better look at the actuator when I see it again. Been on my sick bed on and off for 2 months. No energy right now. I'll post results!

Re: Clint Eastwood mentions his Ty That's pretty cool! I've never seen it parked at the studios though. Clint has his own building on the Warner brothers lot but I've never ran into him either. From what I gather however, he's not the friendliest man. I know Jay Leno has a syclone but he's...

Re: Looking for info on old chip box?? The up pipe from turbo to intercooler is aftermarket as is the turbo. It's tight. No audible air leak but I will double check with some carb choke cleaner next time he's over here. The coupler from intercooler looked good but I'll double check. I'm...

Re: Looking for info on old chip box?? Ok figured pics out. We are no way seeing 18psi nor do I want to see it. But it sometimes will hit 15 and bleed off to 10 psi or less.

Re: Looking for info on old chip box?? Thank you! Wish I could post a pic but I'm assuming since I'm new, posting pics comes after a certain amount of posts are reached?

Re: New from Los Angeles Wish I had the room for another car, but I'm tapped out! I would have to sell something to have room for a typhoon. I don't own anything I'm willing to let go of at the moment. Thanks though!!

Hey forum. New guy here from Los Angeles. Joined to get some general information on these cool trucks as a potential owner, but currently to lend a hand to my buddy who just bought a TY. With a large history with SBC's and GN's, the 4.3 is pretty much up my alley, and I like it! But just a...

Re: Looking for info on old chip box?? That's the plan but in the mean time I'm curious. I would imagine with the key on you could switch between pre set tunes with the red button?

Re: Thoughts on this machine work.... Was that crank turned down? If it was, be sure to have it rehardened. If I'm not mistaken, the cranks in the 4.3 are the weakest link being a split journal crank. I don't think something looking like that would leave our shop.

My buddy recently bought a 93 Ty from the original owner. Unfortunately the original owner had a stroke and is not able to Communicate what all was done to the truck. So far I can see it has an aftermarket turbo, no markings as far as I can see. It has a billion gauges including a wide band o2...
