My dad worked at the PAS factory He had a prototype called "Poor Boy" that was a stock s10 body/syclone drivetrain-No 300lbs of cladding,No 150lbs power seats, and so on.... My mom drove it way harder than my dad and would always destroy lawyers/doctors in 911s and Vettes in our lil town, it was amazing. Nothing could touch this vehicle at the time and until I rode in Godzilla did I feel that pull again!To bad the licensing fees GM had to pay PAS caused it to be so over priced it could not sale.
noticing that you start the acceleration at 0:07 on this video, 28 seconds to get from 0-120 is insanely fast!!! gotta find me one of these, would enjoy scaring the crap out of everyone on the road!!!
If any one pays attention to when the speedometer the truck don't have to be at reclined for it to be picking up an ass of speed its a big v6 just like a big v8 they don't have to rev high to make power and everyone keeps talkin about horsepower numbers when its about torque especially in a truck that's all wheel drive it makes an ass of torque at Low rpms so if u have any civic or Honda product besides an nsx that was made in 91 like these trucks started bein made ill kiss Ur ass because this
Damn! Sick truck. Chinese w/e the hell ur user name is stfu u make ppl who like honda look bad.... prob got a flaming ghey wing on that 5 sec 120mph civic to huh ? Subed I wanna see more of this beast especialy if you've done more to it !
It really sucks that GM canceled this series... I drive an S10 (pretty much the exact as this Syclone (Sedona?)same minus the lack of all wheel drive and the turbocharger). The Canyon and Colorado just aren't the same...
@RidX4Ricers for turbo vehicles automatic is better because you dont lose boost by letting off the gas between shifting its just a constant spool... 5 speed would slow this truck down
@MrChinesegeorge yea sure whatever, but your driving a HONDA!! Im driving SYCLONE! Oh by the way, have you ever had some cream of some yung guy? Im guesssing yes!!!!
@MrChinesegeorge you drive a bathtub with wheels...... it weighs half of what this truck does, and this thing still (stock) does 0-60 in less than 4 seconds if boosted properly.
@MrChinesegeorge Shit - honda's are slow as a turtle in peanut butter, there mostly driven by little kids and are just mommy's hand me down econo turds with some christmas lights glued underneath, ohh and lets not forget the fart can muffler tip, that fart can adds about 500 hp - right??, ohh and the rear wing on the back of your fwd honda is fucking priceless - douchbags.
@meattube4u33 u got the idea right man but dont forget the goofy ass body kit with the euro tail lights.. i mean i drive a 4cyl turbo but its got a lagit magnaflow 3 inch exhaust system and TONS of money into my motor i made 312 horse at the front wheels... and i have no rice wing :P
@MrChinesegeorge youre a lying sack of shit.. this is a true honda owner right here u have 140 horsepower and think its the fastest thing in the world keep your rice lmao... trust me come to conencticut ill turn my boost down on my eclipse to like 6 lbs and still eat ur honda all day long.. super cars dont even do 0-120 in 5 seconds moron they do like 0-60 in 4 seconds so unless ur honda has like 1300 horsepower ur not gonna do that
@MrChinesegeorge ok so then youre saying that your honda... can also beat cars like the ferrari fxx and enzo... the lamborghini aventador, the bugatti veyron super sport, the mcclaren f1, the nissan gtr switzer p800... the caparo t1 (uses an indy car engine), the saleen s7 race spec edition 1000 hp model... the hennessey venom gt 1200 hp model.. because all of those are some of the fastest cars in the WORLD and they have 5-6 second 0-120 mph times. 0-60 time you might be doing in 5.. but not 120
@MrChinesegeorge HAHAHA, .... what ? maybe 120 feet per hour in 5 seconds thats about it. Your POS homo queer honda could not do that even if it were pushed out of a jetliner at 35,000 feet in the air.
@MrChinesegeorge you face is slow as hell i bet the only thing that hondas good for is cooking an egg on the moter :p at least he can go around and haul a boat
@MrChinesegeorge And you are full of shit too. A fucking Bugatti doesn't even get to 100 in 5 seconds. What makes you think a shitty little Jap Honda is? Have fun in hell for lying :)
@Jaygeta1 Do a search. The Syclone is rated at 280hp at 4200 rpm. There not desighned to shift past 4200 unless you change the cam. + adjusting the the tv cable will do nothing. Shift points are set by a special calibrated governor from PAS. This is coming straight from my old Kenne bell literature that I have kept for all these years..
@Jaygeta1 i am not going to say it again make it shift at the yellow line my dad had a grand national that shifted proper then this the power range is 4200 then it shifts at yellow line to go down to about 3200 3300 whatever to get the power back up to be between the power range. FIX IT my z24s power range is 4200rpm and it shifts at 54 or 55
@westfabrications Ok I will explain this better my car has the same peak power 4200rpm it has a shift line at 5500rpms it shifts between 5-5500rpm down to about 3900-4000rpm to collect power again the same goes for lets say a 96 pontiac grand prix GTP 3.4L V6 dohc engine it's peak power is 5700rpm it starts to lose power slowly after that so it's got a yellow shift line at 6500rpm then it goes to about 4500rpm to start collecting power again. so stay between ur peak or lose 40-50hp
@Jaygeta1 try watching some of the other sy/ty launch videos and you will see that this what there set at to shift aprox 4200. If it would go faster shifting at a higher RPM, PAS and GM would have recalibrated the shift points to do so....
@crazywin99669 why at peak power so it goes down to about 240hp instead of 260hp when you go past peak to keep the HP in between for best power RANGE. put a RPM graph in your head then you'll understand' better yet a dyno graph let me know when you understand what I was saying
@RAJSTA81 actually they did 13.4s. 11.50? This truck ran a 11.50 last season with the stock longblock. Truck has a Ptb 61mm turbo, custom Nolan tuned C16 Race fuel tune. 28 degres timing, 3400 vigilante conv. and the list goes on... Truck was bone stock in this video..
this truck is the reason there is an Astro AWD they built the AWD under the guise of safety in a family transport the Astro wen they really wear looking to build the Sy it was quicker than the vet and so chevy put the cabash on itI love My astro AWD I droped a 13.5QM@98MPH after the headders and programmable chip I am expecting low 12's all naturally aspirated around the time of a stock Sy
do you happen to now if one has alocked up motor and i wanted to replace it is the motor just a 4.3 liter that i could get out of another s10 and bolt up or is it special also the oil pumps what locked up and killed the motor could it have hurt the turbo or anything else?
typical americans that dont know anything about turbos...small turbos dont make power up at high rpms..if you short shift you still stay in the powerband.
I can understand you thinking that but if you were at full throttle then it it was shifting to soon (cable stretch, it's easy to bump the adjustment.....). I'm just saying..call a transmission shop, go to syty forum, google it up, watch other videos...ect. it should be right at 5200-5300. To little throttle valve pressure can damage your transmission, so if I'm wrong so be it, but just check it out...it's too soon.
@csmwiese do a search, max rpm for the Sy/Tys is only 4400 rpm. GM rated the Syclone at 280HP/ 4400rpm. Sounds low, buts thats the way GM designed them. My truck has now ran a best of 11.50 still shifting at the same low rpms. The camshaft in these are pathetically small!! The same one used in your standard 4.3s.
@westfabrications people usually dont get the point of hp and torque curve if you go past the rpm of max hp and torque your just making more noise and not going any faster. i have a 408 stroker with a pretty big purple cam the tack will hit 6000 but the torque max is 5500 my point is i go slower with higher shifts
every G.m and ford vehicle I owned rusted BIG DEAL!!!!!!!! That doesn't make them bad vehicles my 00 silverado 2500 my rear bumper was almost rotted through on the passenger side I just replaced it and my driver side cab corner is starting to show some rust. I live in the great lakes region(road salt central) . I look at it this way it took 10 years for it to start rusting that pretty damn good if you ask me that's a lot better then the 1970's models that had major corrosion issues.
@jb0177 Ive never had a rust issue with any Gm vehicle ive owned? One problem with the VOLVO you got is the older it gets the less chance it will run..Your Volvo might not have any rust, but youll later get some magor exersize pushing it as its age progresses.! + value plummits!! truth hurts!
@westfabrications You have clearly not owned a volvo. They are probably the most reliable car in the world. Toyota doesn´t stand a chance. Mercedes W124 maybe. An old 240 will drive 600.000+ km without overhaul.
I sold my 1963 PV after three years of daily driving. Love my Chevelle much ore though. Volvo´s are incredibly reliable, but most of all: BORING compared to American Muscle !
@westfabrications Not sure where you came up with that? Volvos are very dependable, much more so than my typhoon. My brother regularly beats on his 740 and runs ~20psi on the factory engine, with over 200k miles and no engine problems. watch?v=DHCKVz6X6s0
@jb0177 a '96 Volvo wow that's awesome! This is relevant to any conversation with a GMC Syclone how? Have fun with your Volvo, they get shit for gas mileage and weigh a ton, but they are safe. Comment on a BMW video or something there JB.
@jb0177 i got a 97 blazer, 99 blazer, 2 '03 silverados and a '00 seirra all with at least 150,000.. no rust.. all used for snow plow and removal in canadian winter.. soo take ur soccer mom whip ouuta herr
@anthonyl92 THats a lie I live in maine and we dont get nearly as much snow and every pos chevy from thats 2007 and older has rust..... YA LETS MAKE METAL FENDERS SO THE CARS WIEGH MORE AND RUST EASIER.
@jb0177 woo hoo dude youve got a bad ass volvo.this guy has one of the quickest SUVs EVER MADE.the only time ANY car rusts is like where I live with HEAVY snow in winter and lots of slated roads.and yes,both of my moms car is a little rusted,at 170,000 MILES and driven EVERY winter. Ive seen by far more rusted foreign cars than american.dont talk shit just because youre jealous because you have a POS volvo.
Your Volvo will only be worth it's value in scrap metal in the very near future, whereas these Syclones are only appreciating in value! They're actually already hard to find cheap!
@jb0177 I wonder what your Volvo would bring if you were to sell it now? Have a look at how much a 1991 Syclone would set you back if you were to find one. Oh yeah, my Ford has 52k and no rust.
@jb0177 I hope you know that volvo is FORD! Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, & Volvo... Grow a brain. Also GM does pretty good rust protection. Also you could get you car's under carriage sprayed with "anti-rust" for a couple thousand dollars.
That is rather quick! I`m interested in buying a Typhoon here in Switzerland but was somewhat shocked by the 40 second time from 0-120 mph tested in an american mag long ago.My Beretta GTZ can beat that. I`m surprised that the Syclone manages the same procedure in under 30 seconds. The SY is only slightly lighther so that can`t be it. Did the SY come with a different final drive or different gear ratios maybe?
I bought a Blazer Xtreme with intentions to make into a modern Typhoon, but not 4wd cuz that's too much work for me. SyTy's are kickass, I am jealous.
@theraf8100 I just installed RPM from SY/TY.net 61mm turbo .85 ex, 3 inch downpipe, 60 pnd injectors, and RPMs custom tuned multi chip for C16 race fuel. Ive got 8 chip program settings for 110 race fuel and 8 for c16 .Trucks now running 25 pnds of boost!! more videos to come! Its now a real animal to drive!!
@westfabrications My lord!....$1850 for headers and $2750 for a sheet metal intake! And that's 2 out 4 of there top advertisements! I thought I was getting raped on my turbo buick parts, but you guys take the cake. Those prices are insane! I would keep my eye open on your forum for used parts. I see an intercooler kit...were they not intercooled stock? Also read car and driver did 13.06 in stock form...INSANE!...Sorry for all the Q's...just a fan :)
@westfabrications $1850 for headers and $2750 for a sheet metal intake! That's insane! I thought I was getting raped for turbo buick parts, but you guys take the cookie. I would keep my eye on the for sale section of your forum! Car and driver ran a 13.06 in stock form though so I bet those trucks get insane quick fast and in a hurry :)
@westfabrications I don't see a scan tool! They are essential for not blowing chit up! Also a knock sensor of some sort is key too! Don't get too nutty until you're sure your truck is running perfect. Picking parts up off the pavement isn't fun...ask me how I know eerrrr
@abram7117 i agree the block was probably just as strong as its brother 350. so it could easily handle more boost or force induction type stuff. i bet stock they can handle 300hp 300tq
Myfuckingsigninname : I agree and this was totally and automatic if this was stick.. this guy needs to retire cuz that was boring u didnt even hear the gears chirp or nothng but that was pretty cool how it went to 120 pretty fast
Blimmey a modern Diesel engine revs higher than that. A Euro BMW 335 Turbo diesel is as quick accelerating with better MPG and tops out at 155mph.Doesn't look as cool as a pick up going that fast though.
that didnt look that fast. according to the video your 0-60 time was in the 6 second range which it should be around 4.7-5.2 for stock and i was disappointed to see that it was slower than expected after 60mph. either you didnt floor it or there's something wrong with your syclone, cause a stock syclone will run 13's in the 1/4 and that was more like a mid 15's -low 16 sec. I have a CRX that hits 120mph 2 times faster than that and i know a stock syclone should waste my CRX.
@myfuckingsigninname im sayin this video doesnt show him take off at the exact tenth of a second and it doesnt hit 100 at the exact tenth of a second. not rocket science. take a stop watch and wait till he takes off and then hit the button when he hits 60. you cant know the exact time unless you use a stopwatch. and in the world of fast cars and racing, every tenth counts. with a stop watch i counted 5.3 second to 60. not being rude, im just sayin.
I understand that, I was saying if you look at the time when he takes off its at 7 seconds then when he hits just above 60mph its at 13 seconds, so i said 6 second range. you have to take into consideration that most speedometers are off by a few mph as you get faster. I would have expected this syclones 0-60 to be insane since they are known for crazy launches due to the traction there capable of.
this is true. my roadmaster has both analog and digital speedos and when you accelerate fast the digital one is always right but the analog cant move fast enough to keep up with it.
anyhow this truck is going on 20 years old and its stock, so it probably used to be a little bit quicker.
Truck was launched at approx 5lbs boost. To get sub 5 sec times I would need to launch at a higher boost. 10lbs usually will do it! This truck has turned a 7.90 in the 1/8th mile on the stock turbo and a custom 2 bar tune. This equals a 12.5 qtr. for a Sy. This is basically a stock truck with a chip and exhaust!
Pretty quick! But whats more fun to see is a 4dr F350 long bed (7000+lbs) 6.4 motor with just a tune...do a 1/4 in low 12's. I saw one in action and I was shocked! My truck is fast..lots on engine and tranny work..but damn! for a stock heavy truck like that!
truck wasnt even on the ground. That model is a really block body and even at 60mph on a windless day, there is a shit load of wind noise. At 120mph, that video would sound like someone skydiving. Plus its kind of hard to hold a video camera on your speedometer when your doin 120. I should know, I had to have my friend hold the camera when I was younger.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow bro you are dumb, he is driving and the truck is kinda slow. How is it hard to hold the cam at 120? I went over 180 in my car holding the cam on the speedo.
what is it a diesel? that thing barely went over 4000 rpm.. my first time hearing about a these little trucks

do you happen to now if one has alocked up motor and i wanted to replace it is the motor just a 4.3 liter that i could get out of another s10 and bolt up or is it special also the oil pumps what locked up and killed the motor could it have hurt the turbo or anything else?

I can understand you thinking that but if you were at full throttle then it it was shifting to soon (cable stretch, it's easy to bump the adjustment.....). I'm just saying..call a transmission shop, go to syty forum, google it up, watch other videos...ect. it should be right at 5200-5300. To little throttle valve pressure can damage your transmission, so if I'm wrong so be it, but just check it out...it's too soon.

@csmwiese do a search, max rpm for the Sy/Tys is only 4400 rpm. GM rated the Syclone at 280HP/ 4400rpm. Sounds low, buts thats the way GM designed them. My truck has now ran a best of 11.50 still shifting at the same low rpms. The camshaft in these are pathetically small!! The same one used in your standard 4.3s.

@westfabrications people usually dont get the point of hp and torque curve if you go past the rpm of max hp and torque your just making more noise and not going any faster. i have a 408 stroker with a pretty big purple cam the tack will hit 6000 but the torque max is 5500 my point is i go slower with higher shifts

You may want to check your TV cable, It looks like it is out of adjustment because your shifts were too soon

I live in the great lakes region(road salt central) . I look at it this way it took 10 years for it to start rusting that pretty damn good if you ask me that's a lot better then the 1970's models that had major corrosion issues.

@westfabrications You have clearly not owned a volvo. They are probably the most reliable car in the world. Toyota doesn´t stand a chance. Mercedes W124 maybe. An old 240 will drive 600.000+ km without overhaul.
I sold my 1963 PV after three years of daily driving. Love my Chevelle much ore though. Volvo´s are incredibly reliable, but most of all: BORING compared to American Muscle !

That is rather quick! I`m interested in buying a Typhoon here in Switzerland but was somewhat shocked by the 40 second time from 0-120 mph tested in an american mag long ago.My Beretta GTZ can beat that. I`m surprised that the Syclone manages the same procedure in under 30 seconds. The SY is only slightly lighther so that can`t be it. Did the SY come with a different final drive or different gear ratios maybe?

that didnt look that fast. according to the video your 0-60 time was in the 6 second range which it should be around 4.7-5.2 for stock and i was disappointed to see that it was slower than expected after 60mph. either you didnt floor it or there's something wrong with your syclone, cause a stock syclone will run 13's in the 1/4 and that was more like a mid 15's -low 16 sec. I have a CRX that hits 120mph 2 times faster than that and i know a stock syclone should waste my CRX.

So are you saying a stop watches time is differant from the videos time? i thought every second was the same.
myfuckingsigninname 2 years ago
@myfuckingsigninname im sayin this video doesnt show him take off at the exact tenth of a second and it doesnt hit 100 at the exact tenth of a second. not rocket science. take a stop watch and wait till he takes off and then hit the button when he hits 60. you cant know the exact time unless you use a stopwatch. and in the world of fast cars and racing, every tenth counts. with a stop watch i counted 5.3 second to 60. not being rude, im just sayin.
bigmax88 2 years ago
I understand that, I was saying if you look at the time when he takes off its at 7 seconds then when he hits just above 60mph its at 13 seconds, so i said 6 second range. you have to take into consideration that most speedometers are off by a few mph as you get faster. I would have expected this syclones 0-60 to be insane since they are known for crazy launches due to the traction there capable of.
myfuckingsigninname 2 years ago
this is true. my roadmaster has both analog and digital speedos and when you accelerate fast the digital one is always right but the analog cant move fast enough to keep up with it.
anyhow this truck is going on 20 years old and its stock, so it probably used to be a little bit quicker.

Truck was launched at approx 5lbs boost. To get sub 5 sec times I would need to launch at a higher boost. 10lbs usually will do it!
