1993 GMC Typhoon 4.3 liter Turbo V6
Additional information
Description
Looking much like a mild mannered GMC Jimmy save for the flared rocker add ons, and blackened windows and trimmings, the only thing giving it away was the Typhoon badging (replaced by 1992 style gray stickers). Otherwise it could be your soccer mom everyday driver retaining anonymous, going about its everyday business. Straight steel, all black nice paint, and tinted windows with even a roof rack keep up the secrecy. Darth Vader menacing indeed!
Interior
With enough black leather to cloak the entire entourage of the band Whitesnake, leather buckets present upfront, and a rear fold down bench with large cushy armrests are within a clean original interior. A nice gray dash is fronting the passengers, and save for some aftermarket ''A'' pillar mounted turbo boost and fuel pressure monitoring gauges, its stock GM build. Clean black carpeting floods the floors and a center console setup in between the buckets. An AM/FM/CD (CD Changer in the rear) is within the dash, and this truck has R134-A AC upgrade. A full array of factory gauges present themselves in front of the driver and are backed up by a Momo Steering wheel. An MSD boost controller hangs between the drivers knees and has 4 adjustment points on it. Opening the console lid, we find a toggle switch...electric exhaust cutouts to let the Typhoon roar.
Drivetrain
The money shot off you will, within an all clean engine bay, with no corrosion, we see a 4.3 liter Turbo V6 mill. The dyno sheet provided with this Typhoon states it has 303 HP with 471ft/lbs torque. Fast Fuel Injection provides the injection and all ECM controls,a rebuilt 700R4 and upgraded 4-speed automatic is now strapped on to the back of the engine. On the rear is a 3.73 posi setup. A multitude of receipts are included to back up the rebuild of the engine and transmission. TRW forged pistons reside within the bores of the 4.3L V6 along with a Crower roller cam. The heads have been ported, polished, had a 3 angle valve job completed, and chromoly rocker studs and guide plates were installed. Billet aluminum 1.5 ratio roller rockers control the valves and a ARP head stud kit keeps all the boost where it belongs. A TE-44 turbo hangs on the side of the engine and feeds 16lbs of boost, along with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, a high efficiency intercooler and an external high flow wastegate.
