impala_631 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 looking good!!:cool: Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 looking good!!:cool: Thanks! Today the turbo came along with the brake brackets. Turbo is a .60 on the cold side and .63 on the hot side should be more than enough. Got the E-brake back on and working. Now i can figure out how to run the downpipe. Quote Link to comment
BACARDI_DWB Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 build looks like its going great! Personally I dont like the idea of having to pull the entire motor to change a clutch or any tranny work for that matter. That is why i am doing a removable tranny crossmember. You may have a reason for just building a mount on the existing crossmember, I just look at it from a maintenance point of view. would i want to pull headers, oil lines, and all the other gear to swap a clutch/tranny. If are that close in your build. i would just do it, but that is just me just my .02 Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Ya now that i think of it i have made it removable. Trans-Dapt has a universal crossmenber i'll be getting so when the time comes to do tranny work i can swap it then.Thanks! for the mounts! Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Been alittle busy the last week,but managed to get the tunnel covered back up and the padding down,picked up a seat from a Isuzu truck that fits nicely, thats installed for now,till i re-carpet it this weekend. I like the bench seat it makes it looks like a stock little old Truck! IC,bov and wastegate should be here on friday. Driving my Syclone the past few weeks is fun but have to work on that still making sure everything is alright,so far so good! I plan on having the truck semi-done by the end of the month,so will see if it all comes together. Quote Link to comment
dat521kid Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 keep up the good work Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Will do! Ding dong, UPS just delivered my 110amp mini Alt. Will be on and mounted tomorrow! Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 picked up a seat from a Isuzu truck that fits nicely, Any other details on the seat. It appears to fit very nice. Does the center fold down and create an armrest? Is the back of it fairly thin, keeping your body close to the back of the cab? Did the width fit good? Approximate year of Isuzu that it came from?

lynchfourtwenty Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 ya yello that looks like a nice seat eh, prolly more comfy then the 1 u got lol :P im diggin this green one i got :) Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Got the IC,wastegate and Alt mounted up today. Started to put the front back together. I cleared out some space in the front where the radiator is going to go,now i can run my 14" elec fan with a massive 24"x16"x3" radiator.I was going to run a smaller one but figured out where some empty space was. Alt is good just need to find a 5pk belt that will fit. They sent me the wrong downpipe flange so the exhaust will have to wait for afew days. Wastegate just needs the dump pipe to open atmosphere. Not to much left to go brakes,clutch lines going all SS lines,piping for IC, I'm going to do the Driveline last so i know I'm almost ready to drive it. Quote Link to comment

Seat i found at PnP last sunday out of a Isuzu i think it was a hombre mid 90's single cab truck.Fit's prefect plenty of room,seat even slide on the track good. Center does fold down for an arm rest. Back is thin there is alittle room behind the seat not much but it's a truck. Width is right at the doors. When i went to pnp i measured my olds seat and the inside of the cab door to door and went from there. It was either this one or one out of a 85 dodge ram truck. Quote Link to comment

Thank you, i will be watching for one. Your truck is looking really good, it is going to piss a lot of people off.:D Quote Link to comment
hessianben Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 this thing just scares me and hurts my feelings.... I LIKE IT !!!:D:D:D Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 that bench looks nice in there!!i hope you plan on ditching the camo door panels tho:p I kinda like them the headliner is done too,but that all can change when I'm done.Will see. Camo makes the truck look like a beater or something you do not want to be stuck driving behind. Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Finished the carpet and got the seat mounted. Going to look for a shifter boot,maybe Lokar or might just try to make one? Started the exhaust got it down and almost out but needed to order more J-bends and a few 90's to get i all the way back to the magnaflow.It's tacked in for now,it's really tight in there. At the bottom the first bend there will be a butt-joint band clamp so if i need to remove the exhaust it will be easy to take apart. Quote Link to comment
BACARDI_DWB Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 man that carpet looks awesome!! Quote Link to comment
sycloned916 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 This week got the exhaust done,clutch pedal is working good,made my external wastegate dump right behind the front driverside tire should be nice and loud and my IC piping came today so i started that and got the pass side kinda done. New filter and oil, all turbo oil lines are done. I'll finish it up tomorrow. Brake master i ordered will not work so i'll run the stock one till i can find one. Brake lines should be made this week as well just need a few more fittings for them. Air flow meter should be here this week. I might try to start it this weekend if it all goes good! Then button everything up and see if my driveshaft will be done soon. Quote Link to comment
