GMC syclone/typhoon
"Both the Syclone and Typhoon (
SyTy) trucks featured a
Mitsubishi TD06-17C 8 cm²
turbocharger[1] and
Garrett water/air
intercooler attached to a 4.3 L
LB4 V6 engine with unique pistons, main caps, head gaskets,
intake manifolds, fuel system,
exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin bore throttle body from the 5.7 L
GM Small-Block engine. All SyTy's had a 700R4 (4L60) 4-speed
automatic transmission. A
Borg Warner all wheel drive transfer case split torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels.
[1] Both trucks featured sport modifications to the standard suspensions. The Syclone was the first production truck to receive a 4 wheel
anti-lock braking system. Output was 280 hp (209 kW) and 350 lb·ft (475 N·m).
[1] The Syclone, when new, was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 13.4 seconds at 98 mph (158 km/h). Car & Driver tested the Syclone and it ran 0-30 in 1.3 seconds with a 0-60 in 4.3 seconds, the 1/4 mile was 13.06."
