Thanks, but apparently they are on a 3 year backlog...I wasn't going to call them out by name but they worked on the Truck 4 years ago. We got it back, had more issues not related to the work they did, and we haven't been able to get back in their shop since then. Apparently they have an absurd...

So it's been several YEARS of trying to get mine and my fathers Typhoon running properly. Lots of dead ends, people not following through, and frustration beyond compare. We just want to be able to drive this thing again. The bottom end is built, we did minor mods to improve reliability and...

Re: 5th Annual Albany NY Meet - July 31, 2010 Sorry guys i'm going to a Redsox game that night in Boston....otherwise I would go. Especially since i'm repainting the hood and roof on my Ty this weekend....now to get that transmission shudder and lean situation at high rpm's mess sorted out lol.

Re: 3rd Annual Hooters meet, Albany, NY Sorry I couldn't stay for long guys, next time i'll be there and hopefully the ty will be looking better and running even better by then lol. I had a bike paint job I had to finish for a friend sunday or I would have stayed longer. I already repainted the...

Re: SyTy specialists in the NE? Thanks a lot guys for all the input. Turns out there is someone closer! I'm going to call dgoodhue when I get home from work so we can figure out if he wants to tackle it lol. Hearing recommendations from other members and seeing some of his other millions of...

Re: SyTy specialists in the NE? Well I called and talked to John, I think we are just gonna send it to him in the middle/end of January or whenever he can work on it. I trust him, he knows Typhoons, and he sold us all the parts we put into it, so he knows those as well. I figure we'll ship it...

Re: SyTy specialists in the NE? I live in East Greenbush, right off Exit 8 of I-90. My dad bought the Ty new as a demo model in 1993, first titled owner. Been stored every winter, and babied but for some reason it blew apart one of the Pistons a few years ago, and ever since it's been a...

Hello, My father and I have been trying to get our typhoon up and running for 2 or 3 years now, roadblock after roadblock...after the second engine rebuild...it still runs like crap and needs work. At this point, we just want to be able to bring it to a shop that KNOWS Typhoons and can do work...

Hey all, I'm not on here much, but I figure I need some help so it's worth a shot. Here's my setup: Bored 30 over, SRP Pistons, JE rods, ARP hardware, Stock blueprinted cam, Double Roller Cam chain, Stock heads with new valvetrain, Rebuilt turbo with larger compressor and whatnot, Stock...

Re: Valve Train questions Turns out this truck had more problems than we thought when I took the motor apart. Number 4 wasn't getting fuel, number 1 had a nasty groove in the cylinder wall, and number 2 had a chunk gone from the lower part of the piston right below the oil ring...I have no idea...

Re: Valve Train questions Oh ok thanks for the info guys! I have a friend who works at a local machine shop. He builds race motors to make his real money and knows his stuff. Did over 5k worth of work on my supra motor for 400 bucks lol. Needless to say I trust him since he understands the...

Re: Spraying intercooler? Like Subaru STi I fabbed up a system on my supra. It had headlight squirters that i shaved and routed the lines down to the intercooler to spray it. The final verdict: More of a "hey look at the cool thing my car can do" effect than anything. At the track it makes no...

Hello all, I'm a newbie to the forum and have a few questions after reading through a LOT of posts lol. I'm rebuilding my 30k mile 92 typhoon because well...it needs it after sitting for quite a few years in storage. I think I have the bottom end figured out. Going with JE pistons, H Beam...
