I mean, how much spark do you really need? Either way, it's had a tough life!Probably less than average corrosion for it's age (body or underside) but almost all of it was likely caused while it was in Japan until recently and the worst wear is a cracked passenger side rear corner cladding that needs repairing, a very oily and dirty engine (currently stripped down to a clean bare block with cam bearings removed) and a rusty aftermarket high flowing exhaust system and back axle/diff case, brakes and suspension etc.The exhaust is about 3 inches diameter and makes it burble like a V8 at idle. Fast & Free Shipping! They already have the L35 top notch cutout. I may end up having to use seperate billet rails to align the injectors, as raising them in the mounts will cause the angle to shift more vertically and to aim them down at the runner floors even more than they already do. It takes an open mind to see this fact but it is indisputable, nonetheless. It's quite tricky, hence the narrower than intended dividers. By the way, stock setup aims the fuel jet about an inch into the head runner floor. Surely people aren't dumbed down to the point of still not spotting that you've spelt 'than' as 'then', or the most common, 'you're' as 'your'. I'm not sure how many of the hits are mine or yours!If you haven't already done so, why not check out Brisk spark plugs,http://www.briskracing.com/home.php and Nology Hotwires http://www.nology.com/hotwork.htmlBrisk tell me that Nology wires work fine with their plugs. I think the engine also needed to be flooded a bit before it would fire as carbon deposits soak up some of the fuel.That's why engines run so much better when they're freshly de-coked. Again, RPM sell 3/8" ARP Vortec studs as they're 10mm metric screw in threads. I'll remove a head at a time for blending with the intake bolted to it, exactly as it will be once finished. Some are very well designed but I don't know how yet. to access the pump from the side! Hey, we can race eachother and I'll know exactly what I'm up against..........Hmmmm, now where do you get those remote engine kill switches? a ring instead of a bent tab and a silver center electrode. and Moates Ostrich Emu's. No wonder they only get 14mpg!Here's a Youtube video from inside a combustion chamber as the engine fires, showing the cloud of fuel/air blasting past the valve. "Errrrrrrmm, yeah, sorry........been playing 'Warhammer 40,000, Dawn of War' too much lately!Oh and if you don't know the meaning of the word 'verbose' already, you soon will.....They say a picture paints a thousand words but why stop there? The next victim of my hamfisted brutality! They obviously went ahead and exploded it anyway to find out.Since then there's understandably been a lot of UFO activity around earth. Maybe they're all like this but what's wrong with a key and nut? As above, so below. and even put it in gear without stalling. We know it's cliche, but it's the sort of paint you want to dive into and go for a swim. Take Julius Robert Oppenheimer and his team of 'Genius' Atomic Physicists during The Manhattan Project for the ultimate example; anyone clever enough to build an atomic bomb should have reasoned that it would be an exercise in futility and nothing but a curse forever more, since from that moment forth, it's widespread use would someday be absolutely inevitable, like every other invention that has ever been created! Don't just grind the faces and seats with machine stones and expect them to seal well. It was sold new in Oregon where it spent the majority of its life. or don't already know full well or even care, you're certainly not going to read all this and probably didn't make it past the above pictures before moving swiftly on.Sure, there are better Trucks on here (most of them at the moment, infact) but you won't find my level of detailed 'analysis' anywhere else on here. and there's really no need for it.A stock sized Corteco gasket is bolted on but doesn't have the necessary width to properly cover the runner roof, once cut to the same height. Definitely used for drag racing very early in it's life. With just shy of 4,700 units made, getting your hands on a Typhoon isn't easy. The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance SUV, produced from 1991 to 1993 by GMC. Unfortunately, I have a sun damaged example with blisters on the roof and a partially melted front bumper cover. By making sure that the intake starts at it's greatest volume and gradually decreases as it goes, the airspeed increases as it's forced further down the runners into the heads and valve bowls which then receive a relatively higher pressure for a given boost psi than they would otherwise have seen. Pre-Owned. My $125 ebay 're-built' Vortec heads are a case in point. Last time I burnt myself on an engine, the heads were pretty damned hot and also, how the fuel will somehow condense into large droplets at 14.7psi (stock) boost I'll never know. I've had cars with much more cylinder wear than this truck (which actually has none but a polish and some ring end scratches) and once the valves are done, they're always like a whole new engine until the valves need re-doing or the exhaust starts blowing.You can get a general feel for the state of an engine's internals by looking at the amount of oil externally...... You'd think it would atleast prevent all that rust! I can always buy another and start all over again. Paint thinner is better but nasty stuff to use.So anyhow, when I bought the truck I could either start it second time cranking and then stall it as soon as it went into gear or crank it for ages and drive it away but it was a choice of one or the other. Easy enough but took me about an hour.The timing marks were way off but this was because of the balancer ring walking on the crank. You always get what you wish for, just not always in the form (or condition) that you hoped!This is my current restoration project (unintentional as they always are) but due to the generally cold and damp weather between October and May here in The UK, I have a thousand and one excuses not to spend hours in the garden shed every evening and weekend, so please be patient as it will all be worth it.......eventually.Looking on the bright side, the only limiting factors are time, discipline, the weather and money!What could possibly stop me apart from the occasional global economic collapse? After warming up and draining, then adding a can of Wynn's Engine Flush and re-filling, warming up and draining again, it still came out black. Description for GMC Typhoon 1991: Information on the 1991 GMC Typhoon Prototype VIN 1GKCT18Z3M0521219. Launching year 1991, 1992 end of production The GMC Typhoon has a turbocharged six cylinders in V longitudinal front engine providing a maximum torque of 475 Nm available from 3600 rpm and a maximum power outpup of 284 PS available at 4400 rpm transmitted to the 16 inch all-wheel drive by an automatic 4 speed gearbox. During tests by Car and Driver, the Typhoon was capable o... More Info › To help avoid this, I would absolutely recommend Wynn's injector cleaner though. I also pour white spirit into the valve bowl to check the final seal while rotating the valve. Power is providedby the matching-numbersL34 396ci V8 engine rated at 350 horsepower andpaired with a Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission. I could link hundreds of sites and videos etc. Featuresinclude a deluxe interior, power brakes, and a VintageAirA/C system. Knocking is reduced too so the ECM won't retard the timing as much. The crank and big end bearing wear is severe. It's really all very crude, when you think about it. Offered By: Classic Auto Mall Inc. $22,500. Typhoon собирался на платформе GMC Jimmy SUV 1991 года. (September 2010 update - I just checked over this page since letting it sit for over a year and forgot how much stuff was on it so you might want to just look at the pics instead as I can get very 'metaphysical' sometimes! Here I'm just taking out the flat sections to even up all the runner widths exactly. etc.The blue Z28 Camaro above belongs to the previous owner's friend, who went round for the 'priviledge' of washing and polishing the truck. Most people buy the yellow top version for serious audio/visual installs as they have a little bit more capacity for deep cycling but the red top has more cranking power for starting and also handles seasonal or occasional use better (I hope!) Email alerts available. The Bilstein's are far and away better build quality (welds, fit, strength etc.) over the last 14 years since I owned a 1988 Jimmy 2.8L and was forced to sell it at a 50% loss in 11 months due to my employer going broke. "Oh, but if everyone has them, no-one will ever dare use them! Corners and internal surfaces will be later, once I've determined the appropriate transition profile into the manifold, as it affects the amount of material to remove or rather, NOT to remove. ).This truck was built in September 1991 (No.0117) which makes it a '92 Typhoon and has covered 54,235 miles according to the clock. The intake seats and faces are still perfectly polished with zero wear. Especially with tinted rear windows.I still have some other laser printouts from TheDupontRegistry.com and I kept a general eye on prices over the years but kinda forgot about them while I drove a couple of Supras but 18 months ago, this truck came along at the right price. A lot of road crap obviously gets in it so that will have to be shrouded off again and maybe a side vent cut instead.I found out the hard way that you can't remove the heads without lifting the whole engine out as they're on studs instead of bolts and there's not enough clearance under the brake booster and aircon fan housing to lift the heads off the 4" studs. Note the steel putty showing through where I took off too much and went through the wall above the injector boss. There are 3 1991 to 1993 GMC Typhoons for sale today on ClassicCars.com. You'll be in good company.I'll continue by highly recommending an excellent, no-nonsense website I found for all Sy/Ty owners, although the general philosophy applies to all vehicles; that is, get it running properly in stock form before upgrading it with expensive aftermarket components and then do so in the right order.Obviously if you're well funded and experienced, you'll be building from scratch and not have any problems. It was at this point that I decided to take it out for a spin round the block, if only before taking the heads off anyway. (untrue by the way as it collects everywhere, regardless).Well, for a start, condensation is a different matter entirely. Now, if the intake runners were curved down toward the valves like the Vortec's, a much higher speed flow would surely result but the ramp idea has been superceded by the Vortec or typical V8 runner profile. It makes a huge performance difference to my 599cc Smart car.We mainly run 95 unleaded and above here in The U.K. so knocking has never really been such a problem and I'll be fitting a stand alone sensor system anyway, if Datamaster or TunerPro convince me I need it. You may not want it either but I have a passion for teaching (or should that be Preaching? The block is ok on it's own but with the heads it's just asking for trouble. We are also like dust to the Earth. Anyone else had this problem? 1991 GMC Sierra 1500 Reg Cab 117.5 - 146,000 mi Rock Hill, SC - Listed 187 days ago dealer rating The Typhoon is a rare machine, with fewer than 5,000 being built between 1991 and 1993. What a nightmare! buying and selling classic and collector vehicles. These vehicles were also some of the most unusual to ever grace the streets. Tons of torque, total control and hardly any noise except the ringing of the casting. These trucks even have that as a nickname. Seek perfection, for that is the ultimate goal and why you spend so much time on your truck in the first place!I've always known this truth; that if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.Dare to be different. It still scrubs up pretty well, despite a few nasty scratches around the rear bumper as you can see. Looks like this year is gonna be a real grind though; I've been putting it off for months since I did this last summer '08 and filled (filed?) Here are a couple more shots below, side by side, at a lower angle and again, it's nowhere near finished. !Just wait until you see the heads......errr......maybe next decade......The whole idea is to create an ever-decreasing cross-section so that the valve remains the only (unavoidable) bottleneck and not the enormous turbulence and resulting much slower airspeed in the intake system caused by the many steps and small-to-large transitions and the gaskets and casting roughness/mismatches. I guarantee that someone on there will know the answer. It runs and drives great. Then there's the lower rear bracket;......don't even get me started!Now get this; if you read the manual it says to remove or replace the power steering pump (which is required to remove the driver's side cylinder head because of one badly positioned bracket bolt), first remove the left wheel and arch lining etc. I'll be expecting over 400hp at a gallop with the current Mitsubishi 20G turbo (your experience, anyone? Garbage in = garbage out squared!This blinkered vision turns otherwise unfathomably intelligent people into hopeless morons on a regular basis, atleast in terms of wisdom and their danger to the rest of us! Read reviews, browse our car inventory, and more. You have to remove the cap but it's easier than any other alternative I can come up with. ), I couldn't hope to buy one. If you still don't believe that, get this dvd http://www.secretspacedvd.com/I can't say whether or not my intake system will be of as much interest to our Galactic Neighbours but it might just be crazy enough, don't you think? I use a cordless drill and thin oil for final honing. The gmc typhoon … They also angle the injectors better while they're at it. You can see where the 'O' ring groove has been cut away in the righthand photo and on this one, the ring does break the surface a 1/16th but there's plenty of contact area left and I'll be using another ring, probably custom grooved into the injector body somewhere above the bottom one, just to make sure it seals. Add gallons of black paint and some snazzy sticker-badging, and voila! I just have to get a quarter mile timeslip but that won't be happening any time soon, I can tell you!Might have the gearbox out too for inspection (like I have a clue what to look for) but the driveshaft squeaks when the truck is moved and the cardon joint crosses are dry and rusty.
