I dunno, it's the same way I feel about swapping a Toyota 1UZ V8 into a Supra to make a Samurai horse, lol. It's all GM guts and it's doing today what it did years ago with a turbo.
+kurt Coleman no the little Chevy cyclone S-10's where. Jay Leno says the same thing in lenos garage when he is reviewing his look it up. Crazy to think a S-10 was the quickest 1/4 mile vehicle oroduced that year. I was suprised when Jay said it and went and googled it and sure enough it was true.
It had the perfect setup turbo charger, AWD, and automatic. No problems with traction, and it could apply constant increasing power to the drivetrain. The Turbo keeps the boost on throughout the run.
That is according to all your Chevy buddies. That's what the GM community says at least. Must be true. I doubt people are into these sort of sports because they can save money.
Incorrect. It is according to something called 'facts' = why it is true. How many camshafts does the coyote engine have? Have you seen the size of the coyote heads? It is according to the physical measurement size of the engine. Have you priced out coyote heads and cams vs LS? It's also not about 'saving money' its about doing the same for less... Unless you like wasting money achieving similar. Perhaps you don't mind spending more for everything, up to you. I sure dont see Coyote swaps all over the place at SEMA but sure see alota LS.. but then again, must be the GM Community right?
+cannon m true! I dont mean to deny that! it is a brick aerodynamically cyclone cd .475 w 24sq feet, hellcat .380 25sq ft but the hell cat pushes more air by 1 square foot!
I've had 2 highly modified Syclone's since 1995 and the best I could ET was 10.6 @ 127 with Lawrence Connelly sorting me out. love the Sy and best always!!!!
@BigKleib34 you sir have climbed to the top of my favorite subscription on UA-cam with this video!👍 I have a Syclone also with a turbo LS build that I'm currently working on, it's still awd but I went a different direction with the engine setup. I'll submit my info if you're interested in reviewing it on UA-cam, I promise it'll have plenty of headroom and legroom for you lol. thanks for posting this video, this is an awesome build! I'll have videos of my build uploaded soon. Keep up the good work man, your car reviews are awesome also, keep'em comin!
That turbo truck beat the shit out of all the supercharged sports cars. Didn't even see any turbo lag or anything. I always been a turbo guy myself it's good to see if turbo beat the shit out of the supercharger that made my day : )
GERARDO1343 if you get the stall speed and gearing right it wont have turbo lag. All abput set up. Get a converter that stalls at the rpm where the turbo starts to spoolup, and you basically load the engine and let it climb to just under the stall speed and launch under boost. Thats where an automatic and a turbo compliment each other well.
My first car magazine was a car and driver was where this truck went against a Ferrari and won . Was a fan of the cyclone and the typhoon ever since. Nice truck ...hope it's still around and you have you license still..lol .
thats usually what happens when you go against a AWD vehicle putting down some power. the hellcat was losing traction (both on launch and probably through a bit afterwards) while the AWD can put more power on the ground without breaking traction.
I had a 85 s10 short box with a mildly built 350. edlebrock cam carb N intake. it was fast as heck. just fun. frame snapped so I stuffed the engine N Trans into a 93 ranger regarding cab long box and it got so much better.
They need to add a big crazy nose cone to that thing like they did to the Superbirds when they went racing. When it gets up to speed you can just see that flat front end having to tear a jagged hole through the air.
I Wanna Go Fast!!!!!!!!.🤣 I remember when those trucks first came out i went to the GMC dealership & checked one out if i only had the money back then. Love those truck's
Always loved those sleeper trucks... I have a grand national ... but I know those awd syclones and typhoons are dope... true to gm old school... beware everyone....
so does the syclone have a headstart or are the other drivers just that much slower off the line? lol.... Seems like they have to put down their iphone and say "whoops, guess I better race now" lol
I do like it but wish it was on stock motor and turbo just to make it that much better. Just do forged Internals and tube is what I mean. Still bad ass either way.
Hey Guys, I just purchased a 91 Syclone pickup stock, that is in pretty bad shape but, is willing ! I would like any advise on what you might do with it for the track... Thanks for any help !!!
I bought a Syclone from a guy in Granbury last year. Had 45K on it. Check out SYTY or the Facebook SYTY pages....I'm sure you'll find one in your neck of the woods.
I want to know how he's making that front diff and the transfer case live in that thing with a 408 and a 91 mm he has to be at a thousand wheel horsepower with that thing I can't believe it's not breaking
that guy in the hellcat slept at the wheel big time, the truck still made a faster pass but it would have been much closer had the hellcat driver been attentive at the starting line
I love how he even acknowledged that swapping it was sacrilegious but at least he kept the awd
I dunno, it's the same way I feel about swapping a Toyota 1UZ V8 into a Supra to make a Samurai horse, lol. It's all GM guts and it's doing today what it did years ago with a turbo.
Right? 👍
Exactly. But that's also how these trucks held the title for 30 yrs.
Literally coulda did this to any old S10 or Sonoma but, nope, had to destroy 1 of only 3,000 trucks. Chubby bastard.
I was just waiting to hear if it was still AWD.. then he said it's still is, made my day.
that's why it smoked all them cars
Tom Perrone a lot of people did conversions to 2wd
daniel PC/ Xbox sure you're right you're absolutely correct put all the Dr has a definite advantage
daniel PC/ Xbox all-wheel drive. talk to text can really suck sometimes
Is your pic an 84-85 celica? Lol
Nice truck. I love the old Syclones and Typhoons. I'm glad you left it AWD. Removing that would of been more sacrilege than the V8 swap imo.
These little trucks where actually the fastest 1/4 mile vehicle built that year they came out. Even faster then vette, lambo, Porsche.
the lightning was?
+kurt Coleman no the little Chevy cyclone S-10's where. Jay Leno says the same thing in lenos garage when he is reviewing his look it up. Crazy to think a S-10 was the quickest 1/4 mile vehicle oroduced that year. I was suprised when Jay said it and went and googled it and sure enough it was true.
WTF is "oroduced"?? lol..
Syclone not Cyclone
Tammy Forbes damn didn't no that
it does all this while being less aerodynamic than a potatoe, amazing lol
A potato would probably be pretty aerodynamic
Potato, don't you mean a veyron, cause a potato and veyron are practically the same thing, except the buggatis actually got wheels.
+Chicken Strangler potatoes so fast
of a box you meant
Someone never had a potato gun.
I had one of these in 93' it was still factory fresh n bone stock,sure wish I had it back now.
Bob Falfa
why did you sell it?
Mr SS Young and stupid, always figured I could find one cheap later,haha. I did get my Nova out of the deal so all wasn't lost.
It had the perfect setup turbo charger, AWD, and automatic. No problems with traction, and it could apply constant increasing power to the drivetrain. The Turbo keeps the boost on throughout the run.

+BigKleib34 Oh yeah... and... FIRST!!! :p
+BigKleib34 lol
Does the owner of the cyclone have a torn channel?
The screamin' brick. Awesome truck man! Love it.
haha i love when they ask whats in it and they say the famous "uh jus an LS with a turbo"
Because a Coyote turbo means more. ;-)
more $? yes.. it would cost more for the same output.
more room taken up.. yep.... you are correct. A mod nightmare.
That is according to all your Chevy buddies. That's what the GM community says at least. Must be true. I doubt people are into these sort of sports because they can save money.

I remember when this and the Typhoon came out, and I loved them. I've always wanted one.
+Sepsis X GM should do it again.
Awesome truck, but I think the guy in the Hellcat fell a sleep that had to be the slowest I have ever seen anyone come off a line
He was like "I'm not even gonna try".
@@ramblin_man23 LOL, pretty much.
Both mustang and hellcat
New muscle cars are very heavy. Especially anything dodge makes
He knew what time it was... same block as my turbo Buick... 86 t type... be careful with the sleepers...
proof that even bricks can fly.
word
+cannon m The other bricks: hellcat camaro and mustang all prob weigh more than the truck lol
+Camaro Rick true, but I was more or less pointing towards the vehicle's general shape and aerodynamics or lack thereof.
+cannon m true! I dont mean to deny that! it is a brick aerodynamically cyclone cd .475 w 24sq feet, hellcat .380 25sq ft but the hell cat pushes more air by 1 square foot!
+Camaro Rick yea but the Hellcat has 700hp.. this truck has no where near those numbers..
I've had 2 highly modified Syclone's since 1995 and the best I could ET was 10.6 @ 127 with Lawrence Connelly sorting me out. love the Sy and best always!!!!
sounded like a jet....does anyone want to race my lil' ol' work truck? tehehe
Just like a jet, I love how the rear end sits just a tad lower
@BigKleib34 you sir have climbed to the top of my favorite subscription on UA-cam with this video!👍 I have a Syclone also with a turbo LS build that I'm currently working on, it's still awd but I went a different direction with the engine setup.

Subbed
Why dont you get a normal s-10 and then ls swap it.
awesome build man, well done. that thing is perfect!
love that truck...haven't seen one around in forever!! good video bro keep up the great work!!
That turbo truck beat the shit out of all the supercharged sports cars. Didn't even see any turbo lag or anything. I always been a turbo guy myself it's good to see if turbo beat the shit out of the supercharger that made my day : )

This video was the reason I pulled the trigger on a Syclone. Just love them.
the little integra that could would give this truck a good challange
Just a 408, stock heads, small cam...love this guy.
Nice build. Fun little truck. Puts all the exotic off the shelf drivers in their place.
That truck is effing amazing. Sounds like a jumbo jet!
Owner is cool as shit!
fuck yea that's my boy tom
I freakin' love those Cyclones & Typhoons!!! Really Cool Trucks!!! B-)
gm should bring these back in a single cab turbo canyon awd, imagine how badass they would be with today's technology I'd buy one.
My first car magazine was a car and driver was where this truck went against a Ferrari and won .
Was a fan of the cyclone and the typhoon ever since.
Nice truck ...hope it's still around and you have you license still..lol .
Love your truck! One day, I hope to make my Sy LSX'd powered. Nice job Tom
WOW!!!! His 60 foot is insane!!! Awesome post!!
AWD will do that quite often, especially when putting down good power figures.
This syclone is sick AF wish I can have one of these
the only thing left cyclone about this is the body kit
CivicsR2Cool LOL!
I can smell some jealous here. It has a stock front differential. I can see he still have a stock interiors.
I bet that guy in the Hellcat was using the red key and had all 707 horses at the command of his right foot and the Syclone still kicked his ass haha.
lol
thats usually what happens when you go against a AWD vehicle putting down some power. the hellcat was losing traction (both on launch and probably through a bit afterwards) while the AWD can put more power on the ground without breaking traction.
J T SMITH hard to call a Hell Cat "stock" when it's a 6.2 hemi with twin screw supercharger
Abel Becerra It’s factory stock, simple
@@WattsUpDev either way the hellcat lost.
The owner is one cool guy idk who he is but he seems like really good person
Loving that killer beast. Owner looks like a really cool dude...👍
I had a 85 s10 short box with a mildly built 350. edlebrock cam carb N intake. it was fast as heck. just fun. frame snapped so I stuffed the engine N Trans into a 93 ranger regarding cab long box and it got so much better.
Truck sounds amazing.... like a jet......
turbo is half of the size of the engine..
good one kleib..👍👍👍
That's cool. The owner seems pretty real too.
That all wheel drives a beast once that turbo gets spoiled up still like the typhoon better
This is awesome,. You guys are proof that proof that some folks still think for themselves,
Now that is getting it dun..
very clean looking build , well done.
bring the syclone back is a real truck that take off like no other truck in it's time. it was wayyyy ahead of its era.
Great content Kleib! Love it
One of the coolest vehicles owner I've seen. 💯
My next truck for sure
sweet ride. my buddy had an old s10 pick up same style W a 350 and killed everyone. I wanna build a danger ranger. ..support fast small trucks!
Sad it is not the 4.3 anymore, but at least it is still AWD, awesome!
Beautiful Syclone, sounds healthy as fawk to hahaha
all the booooost! :)
Talk about a consistent truck at the track!!
They need to add a big crazy nose cone to that thing like they did to the Superbirds when they went racing. When it gets up to speed you can just see that flat front end having to tear a jagged hole through the air.
Dynamite comes is small packages! Awesome lil truck.
I Wanna Go Fast!!!!!!!!.🤣 I remember when those trucks first came out i went to the GMC dealership & checked one out if i only had the money back then. Love those truck's
That truck is killer!!! Love it!!!
the Syclone came out from hell!
I would love to see what this thing will do with a 6L80...she's a beast and well put together.
Probably would break it... Nah just kidding that would probably help a bit
If you wanted v8 and awd you should have got the tbss. 4.3 awd for syclone. Clean tho.
I want one of those GMC Cyclone s10 / s15 pickups.
That thing sounds awsome as it passes.
Always loved those sleeper trucks... I have a grand national ... but I know those awd syclones and typhoons are dope... true to gm old school... beware everyone....
so does the syclone have a headstart or are the other drivers just that much slower off the line? lol....
Seems like they have to put down their iphone and say "whoops, guess I better race now" lol
I do like it but wish it was on stock motor and turbo just to make it that much better. Just do forged Internals and tube is what I mean. Still bad ass either way.
Bad AZZ!! Enjoy my 02 Lightning w/48k, but this Syclone is sick!! Love an AWD performance truck!
Hey Guys, I just purchased a 91 Syclone pickup stock, that is in pretty bad shape but, is willing ! I would like any advise on what you might do with it for the track... Thanks for any help !!!
Sounds like a fighter jet.
damn...thats a fast turboed LS powered Syclone!!
I've only seen one in person and they are just all around cool
one of my all time favs
That is the sickest little truck I've ever seen! I want one. Lol
I'd love to find a syclone or a typhoon here in Texas.....
I bought a Syclone from a guy in Granbury last year. Had 45K on it. Check out SYTY or the Facebook SYTY pages....I'm sure you'll find one in your neck of the woods.
Would be cooler if it still had the turbo 6
Stephen Parker
The fact he left it awd makes it a win for me. I'd take his ls turbo V8 awd over a factory turbo 4.3 AWD but I am a sucker for v8's
I do
Worth more if it was a v6 but hey to each his own
Would be cooler with 6 speeds and a clutch.
OFF WITH THERE HEADS !! those races weren't even close..dang
Didn't this come with a 4.3 ? Great running truck though. Why did Chevy stop building the 4.3 ?
The guy in the hellcat was sleeping off the start, not to mention that truck is AWD so no wheel spin.
That's what I like! Things you rarely see.👌
I would have just heavily modified the 4.3 v6 and put bigger turbo, you can still get a lot of power from the v6.
Awesome truck !!!
corvette look like it stood still the the first 15 min of footage then it crept across the line
Anything with 4wd and a pro mod size turbo is fast. I imagine that there is a srt 8 waiting for him hehehe
if the body was more aerodynamic like the 95 Sonoma it would have been even faster.
Man, GM should bring this back out for another run
The stock intake can take near 1000hp. No need for that eldebrock intake or whatever that was
“Just a ls with a turbo” yeah.. A HUGE FUCKING AIRPLANE TURBINE THE SIZE OF MY HEAD
Love, love, love those trucks!!!!!!
actively looking for another now
I want to know how he's making that front diff and the transfer case live in that thing with a 408 and a 91 mm he has to be at a thousand wheel horsepower with that thing I can't believe it's not breaking
very clean truck!
Beautiful machine
can't believe the stock awd can take the hp
I saw that he would get of the line on fairly with every race
pretty sick truck
At least you could employ some aerodynamics. I guess with enough HP you could propel a cab-over Peterbilt to keep up with the Nasa shuttle.
Big weight difference the S-10 is probably 1,000 pounds lighter than any of these modern vehicles!
Truck weighs 4000lb with me in it.
They should try taking some corners..
The Patriarch what about you? Why you have only one video on your channel and it’s video game. Smh
These are rare to see in person
It was only running 15s in the 1/4??
Falling you for a minute do you have your own shop where if I want to drop off a truck like that in my motor to you is it possible to be done
I would love to see this go against a GTR..........never understood why GMC discontinued the Cyclone or Typhoon!
Because GM back then didn’t want any of their other vehicles to be faster than the Corvette
it is not the stock moter that is a v-6 he is running a ls v-8 ?
that guy in the hellcat slept at the wheel big time, the truck still made a faster pass but it would have been much closer had the hellcat driver been attentive at the starting line
Who is he? Any contact info for him. I’m doing a similar build on my typhoon and have questions
How hard was it to swap the LS into the truck?
Does this thing have a power glide??
