Thanks John. When I get the turbo off in about a month I'm going to town with the grinder. :) I hope to get a spare housing to port to minimize downtime.

Could you please explain how to port the wastegate? I'm going to have my exhaust housing off soon to port the mis-match to the exhaust manifolds and I'd like to port the wastegate while I'm at it.

The turbo oil feed line is leaking a large amount of oil at the engine block connection. It apprears to be leaking where the nut screws onto the fitting. The nut is tight. Is there a gasket or o-ring that may need replacing? I haven't taken it apart, in case, I need to have a replacement gasket...

Tooky, in the summer I run one bottle of Water Wetter and distilled water in my IC. The IAT temps average about 10 degrees coolers, than with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze/distilled water. BUT, I feel most of that improvement comes from removing the antifreeze from the system. Straight water cools...

I honestly see a Syclone or Typhoon about 3-4 times a week in the Denver-metro area. There seems to be a lot of trucks around here.

I only have access to a 2 wheel drive dyno in my area. Would it be okay to remove the front propshaft for a few runs on the 2WD dyno? I don't want to hurt my transfer case.

Would the 36 pound injectors off of the supercharged Grand Prix GTP work well? I know where I can get a set for cheap.

I have the blue Taylors; they're okay, but next time I'm buying the red ones. I just bought the blue ones because the reds were on back-order when I bought them. I think that a Syclone REQUIRES the red wires. :lol:

It is true that most trucks have oil smoke on start-ups. I couldn't stand mine smoking so I swapped the heads. I have also replaced both front half shafts, the alternator, the water pump, the fuel pump, all the vacuum lines, every water line and the rear driveshaft u-joints. But then again I...

"one year only" ???? :roll:

Thanks guys. I had a shop do it. Only took them 1 1/2 hours. So yeah, I see how it could be a quick job.

Aww, crap! I don't have the tool to bust ball joints. I guess I'll just take to a drivetrain shop. :cry:

You make yourself seem stupid with your poor spelling and sentence structure. Too stupid, in fact, to own a Cyclone or Typhoon.

I'm replacing the passenger's side CV half shaft. I have removed the bolts that connect to the axle. How do I remove the outer half from the hub to pull the thing out? Thanks.

HeeHee, whoops. Sorry I see what you mean by the eprom. I shouldn't have a problem, however, any special trick to it? I'm borrowing a friend's fuel pressure gauge on Monday to double check for the correct psi. Thanks.

Brian, thanks for taking the time to help me with this problem. I know that I've swapped the eprom correctly, I've done it a few times and your chip installs easily. The fuel pressure seems to rise just as quickly as the boost gauge. I haven't consider that the gauge may be off. I'll round up a...

Well, tried a new GM O2 sensor, no change. The stock chip has realistic O2 readings. However, the Ultimate is basically reading almost NO fuel until the second half of 2nd gear. Any ideas? It is kind of frustrating. Is this a problem anyone else has experienced? What am I missing? Thanks in...

Heard this one? "Syclones are fast. They have the Corvette motor." :o

Did another run today. The O2 readings were the same. In the .070s. I. E. almost zero fuel. However, I pulled the plugs and they looked good. I'm going to try a new O2 sensor. It is the only thing I can think of causing this weirdness. It is only a year old. But ya never know.

Brian, the Sy has mildly ported LB4 heads that I recently installed because the stockers had leaking valve guides. The runners are untouched, the bowls are blended and the combustions chambers are polished. I also have the Dequick AFPR, a Walbro 255 pump, Jabsco pump(grounded to run constantly)...
