    First half-throttle stumbling, now WOT stumbling

    What's wrong with my attitude? You treat me like I'm a moron and you think I'm going to just sit back and say nothing? "Oh la dee da, I'm a "newbie" so I'm not going to say anything when these guys talk to me like I'm a fucking idiot." :roll: As much as I want to be "nice" and make "friends"...

    First half-throttle stumbling, now WOT stumbling

    That sucks that this happens all the time on the board. I guess for those of you that are sick of answering these repetitive questions - don't answer. I think it's great you guys have a website for people to come and seek advice and talk to other Sy/Ty owners. But I'm not exactly a newbie. I may...

    First half-throttle stumbling, now WOT stumbling

    Spark plugs are brand new NGKs The plug wires are two weeks old - I ordered them from ATR. We zip-tied them and kept them away from the headers and turbo.

    First half-throttle stumbling, now WOT stumbling

    Jimmy - we just replaced the cap and rotor today. The truck still does the same thing. The plugs are fine. The coil and module are GM - got them at a local dealership. We are thinking it's possibly a bad injector. Took it out today and on the first run when the truck was cool it didn't...

    I'm 6'6" 230 and I'm very comfortable in my Ty. I've never been in a Sy though.

    First half-throttle stumbling, now WOT stumbling

    Jimmy - yes when the car stumbles, the tach flutters. The check engine light does not come on. The fuel pressure is set at 50 lbs Yes I have a boost gauge. With this chip, it's set for max of 16 psi. At WOT, it used to max right at 16 psi. It's never gone over. Now at WOT it gets up to about...

    First half-throttle stumbling, now WOT stumbling

    When I first got my Ty, I noticed at half throttle it would stumble just a little bit. Then it got a little worse and started blowing black smoke out the back. At WOT it was fine - felt strong. We changed the plugs (NGK) and wires (ATR) but it still did the same thing. Now at WOT the truck is...

    Crappy day at the track

    I live in Plymouth outside of Mpls. I raced at Rock Falls for the Sunday Fun Day - there was a Syclone there with what looked like sponsor stickers all over it. He was running mid 12s @ around 106/107. From what I see now, I guess I was launching at 0 lbs. (First time racing the Ty) The...

    Crappy day at the track

    Ok I'm an idiot. I read "fiveoh"'s thread and I think I was in a similar situation. I could never build boost at the line, but I wasn't doing it properly. I just took my truck out and built the boost and did a 10 lb launch - HOLY SHIT that's all I have to say. I guess now I don't feel so bad...

    Crappy day at the track

    I figured I would take the Ty to the track to get a few baseline runs. 1st run - 14.44 @ 97 mph 2nd run - 14.57 @ 91 mph 3rd run - 14.41 @ 97 mph It was pretty frustrating. On the way home, under partial throttle, the truck was stuttering/hesitating and blowing black smoke out the back. I...

    Typhoon vs BMW X5 4.6

    Went through an intersection yesterday and saw a beautiful blue X5 sitting at the stoplight to my left. It looked like the guy was looking at my truck like he knew what a Ty was. I slowed down hoping his light would change and I could catch him at the next stoplight. He finally pulled up to my...

    A Couple Questions About My Ty

    Hey guys, I've been browsing for the last couple weeks but haven't really posted any questions, just trying to learn as much as a can about these trucks. I recently picked up a Ty and I absolutely love it. I've always wanted one of these. My first question is: When these Sy/Ty's are under full...

    Hey guys - NEWBIE here! Is it a good deal? 107k - body in good shape (black on black '92), motor is good, only exception is a bad tranny. I've wanted a Ty for over 6 years now. I'd love to fix this thing up and make it fast. You guys are the experts - what do you think? Yay or nay? Thanks...
