Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

ive been up in the air about whether I want to go straight 3" pipe or run through a borla xr1.... I haven't been able to find a decent sound clip for someone with an xr1.

but yeah the no muffler/cat kinda sounds awesome haha

Yea I prefer it, turbo is very noticeable sounding. With a muffler it's just to quiet for me.

Andrew,

I ran the same exhaust as Jesse. But have decided to install a 3.5" XR1. I like the sound and is dumped before the axle. Will have it out the back next year. And will be installing an electric cutout shortly. Will post a vid of the Borla soon.

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

finally a decent update.. after my turbo taking a crap, and i had a rebuild kit overnighted from cali, made me get off my ass and do some good work to the motor!!! started off ordering a cobra elbow so i could run a filter, Thanks sportmachines! :) Second i wrapped the dp with black heat wrap and also recieved my turbo blanket yesturday so hopefully this all will keep my intake temps down.. While i was in there i also got the acdelco plugs out and put in NGK UR6 plugs gapped at .028 She feels like a new truck! Another thing i relocated the battery to the back which really helped the look in the engine bay and i fixed my random no start issues from burnt wires. Also while doing all this, i still found time to paint the roof.. I know its not nothing close to perfect but it beats primer grey.. I have a cruise tonight and a show tomorow so i made her look pretty!! not bad for a weeks worth of work. enjoy guys!

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

Winters here!! Time for more upgrades! :D

First off my alky kit will be here tomorow so hopefully will have that installed and worked out by the weekend.. The drag strip will be open jan 1st, they go out and clear the track out so planning on making it out that day to 'hopefully' get my 11 sec pass. But anyways, got some more plans for winter time

- trans cooler, they have some kits down at autozone/advanced, I'll probly tie the aftermarket kit in with the existing one threw the radiator
- oil filter relocate on block , trying to clean up the engine bay more
- changing the blue coolant lines to black, and possibly upgrading the intercooler pump since I'm sure it's worn out and there's better replacements out there
- electronic cutout, I have my Ty open dp right now because I think it sounds sweet and I'm kinda lazy to constantly crawl on my back to put the plate back on to close it off
- more gauges! Would like the gauge pod that mounts on the speaker spot on dash, so if anyone has one let me know please :lol: if I go this route, I'll be using a trans temp gauge and not sure on other spot
- maybe Efans? Just to clean up the motor bay a bit more again
- reprinted the wheel wells, all the pulley brackets also, the paint has a cracked look and I hate it
- have to fix a coolant leak where the tstat housing is, one of the bolt holes stripped out and it's got a sight leak which drives me nuts..

If anyone has suggestions let me know :) this winter plans on being a more of a clean up/ make more reliable time.

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

Alky supposed to be here today!
Also ordered the 3" electronic cutout for the dp this morning
Bought a trans cooler from advanced last night but wasn't happy with the size of the cooler, so I found one on eBay for same price but twice the size "new one is 10.5x15" so it should be more then enough to help cool the tranny.
Also might be picking up a aluminum core support along with the aluminum radiatior tonight or tomorow, and yes I heard the whore store with those and the welds so it will be getting reinforced before install.

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

first off... heres the so called "complete" alky kit i recieved from TREYMEN. he failed to mention that there is no nozzels or nozzel holder in the kit which cost me 62 bucks today.. thanks man! not.. :banghead::banghead::banghead:


bright side got this.. which lead to a massive amount of other things to do.


How the truck was with grille and hood off


Front end up in the air, the garage is full of jackstands hahah good thing both the ty and chevelle still run and drive :D





Now decided to move the oil filter to the block, i have the adapter coming which should be here tuesday, which is also same time the alky injectors supposed to show up. Also the electic cutout shows up tomorow along with trans cooler!! busy weekend!

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

trans cooler on left and powersteering cooler on right


Got the efans mounted for good also, made some brackets out of aluminim that mount to the stock brackets of the fan shroud.




The plan to cover the ugly top part of the radiator and kind of a hold down for the radiator. Will be making a run to parts store in morning for more aluminum


Got a idea of how the headlights will sit, and how i plan to permantly mount the headlight buckets
