Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Here is a list of where I got the bulbs and which ones to get.

- (8) 194 based 15-LED bulbs for Gauges (Recommend to get 10, just incase you break a bulb or something). I got them on Ebay.

- (7) T1.5-W bulbs for the Check Engines Got them from superbrightleds

- (2) #74 based bulb for HVAC controls

Tips: If I would do it again, I would get new sockets for the Gauges because the stock bulb/socket are a 1-piece design, so you basically have to break the bulb to get it out. They sell the twist-lock sockets at Autozone. Be sure to check each bulb before you fully install the cluster, because the bulbs are polarized. Also the Dimmer switch still works.

Hope this helps, this is a great alternative instead of Indiglo gauges.

Did you get the wedge based bulbs, or were the bases already screw in type?

I got the wedged based bulb that goes into the socket.

Getting closer. The pushrod length was actually good with this whole setup. Installed the Rockers thanks to the guys that helped me on adjusting them. Don't have that much left to do besides finish cutting the Core support for the Intercooler piping. I'm so anxious to hear this thing run!!

If you're going to all that effort, it would be a shame to not grind down those ugly welds.

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Got the Ty running. Still got the Intercooler to finish and mount my Trans cooler and of course a Tune. I'm glad it started fine and just a tiny leak from the Timing chain cover.

Whatcha guys think of the Custom Steve Morris engines Cam?

Nice work Sean and love the sound of the lopey custom cam by Steve. Curious how he got a turbo cam to lope like that?

Finally got to Drive the Ty today. Got my new Distributor installed with a Comp cams Composite gear. Changed the oil, and did some datalogs of Cruising. Runs good, can't wait to see what it does with BOOST.
