    Idle/drive transition and bogging with the TC locked

    I'm finally driving my truck after 4 years off the road and it's awesome but it could be a lot better. I'm getting a lot of help with Code59 but for now I have a pretty good Code58 tune that is working well though I have a couple of issues and figured I may as well ask here so maybe someone...

    WANTED - Valve cover spacers for a 4.3

    I have the vortecs and thought they fit but they don't. I need some spacers and have had no luck finding anyone prepared to help me out. Is there anyone that has any laying around or is able to CNC me a set? Thanks!

    92 vs 93 shift lever button?

    I just saw GT43 post up and thought I would ask... My truck originally came with a stepped, angular button. It got damaged on removal and I replaced it with a C4 Vette button, same as in the recent pic. Is this a 92/93 thing or was mine from a different truck from the beginning. Does anyone...

    Remote tuning help? Feeler thread

    Hi guys, I am looking for some tuning help via the interwebz from someone if anyone has some time. I got my truck running a LOT better but it's still not idling quite how I'd like it. It's a tad rich and seems to be fine for a while then die. Is anyone willing to help out? I have used...

    No spark - I've forgotten how to fix it :D

    OK, truck was running the other night then it just died. I have checked all the plugs and they were fouled so I cleaned them and put them right back in. I have put in 2 gallons of gas so that's good. Weirdly, the fuel relay seems to have died so I had to jump it. I can hear the Walbro running...

    Moates Ostrich 2.0 - socket booster

    I have had the Ostrich in my truck for a few years now. I installed it with the G1 adaptor. I was just reading the Moates site and they seem to recommend using the socket booster as well. Does anyone else use it? I thought the G1 adaptor was all that was needed.

    Dogs!

    I have wanted one for years and think I have settled on a breed I like but am wondering what others' experiences are of different breeds and ownership in general. I'm a big guy so a Chihuahua isn't going to cut it. I like Malamutes (a grey/white one would match my truck :D) and German Shepherds...

    What's with all the skulls and metal?

    How come most of the US car shows I see have heavily tattooed guys with beards, massive bellies and tattoos? The music is some kind of canned metal shite and more often than not, the gear shifter or some part of the car has a skull. What gives? The canned Muzak thrash metal/skull culture...

    Turbotweak experience

    I finally managed to get my TT chip installed in my Syclone. I've had it running but badly for about a year and the lack of driveability has been a headache. I thought it was an injector issue and also valvetrain but the starter tune I tried didn't help either. It's a high compression (9.35)...

    Charlotte, NC - Memorial Weekend

    So I have been in the US for 2 weeks getting my ass kicked in the hospital. I haven't seen a truck or met an owner, let alone gone for a motivational boost launch. Is anyone around next weekend or are there any events worth going to? There's some NASCAR thing going on but I am not sure if I...

    Member of the Year

    Is there any interest in some kind of award for the forum member that has contributed the most? An award based either through their efforts to develop something new and a tech write up or their useful help on the forum? I was just thinking about it seeing as there have been a few observations...

    Hot Rod, 2014 - GN Article

    Bear with me... it is SyTy related. So this couple bought a GN in 2007 and ran it for a few years until it had driveability issues. Not starting, ran poorly, usual SyTy stuff. The previous owner said it had some goodies (separator plate to even out fuel and air flow for example) and they gave...

    Syclone tailgate fixings

    Another dumb question from me... please help? :D My Syclone had a really badly rusted tailgate handle so I have a new one. It looks like the left hand/ driver side rod in the latch mechanism has a groove in it. Is this for a circlip or something else? The original mechanism was pretty badly...

    MAP setting in code 59

    I'm probably being dumb but how do you change the BIN to acknowledge a 3 bar or 2 bar MAP please?

    Vortec block and starter motor issue

    Hi guys, I've been trying to start my Syclone this week but have a bit of a snag with the starter. When I turn the key, it engages and the motor turns and then after a couple of seconds, there is a massive bang and it stops turning. I looked under the truck when it was turning and the...
