The 500 AWHP, AWD, Hillclimbing, Psycho Syclone - /TUNED

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2014
- We end our fourth season with probably our favorite subject car of all time, Adam Auerbach's GMC Syclone Hillclimber. This truck is what "Tuned" is all about; customized in every way possible, 100% function with form following suit. It's nasty, dirty, evil, and perfect.

"It couldn't haul anything but ass" My favorite line
Thank you for staying with the turbo 4.3/awd setup. It's too easy to drop an ls in anything these days, the setup in that truck is what made it special.
It's the 3.8...same one that was in the GN.
@@WhistleTeets85 the original is a 4.3 just like a it's brother the tryphoon
@@WhistleTeets85 nope, not a 3.8, not the same engine. Not close at all. The thing that made this truck special is the fact that nothing special is on it. But it all works well. Live axle, awd system from a van, tb from a Corvette and an 18g turbo. Nothing special at all. Yet the result was special.
@@WhistleTeets85 lol get schooled
@MAD GRUMPYMAN 4.3s are great engines.This one is an Aluminum 4.3 block.
Nice GMC. This is professional grade.
I cannot get enough of this Syclone. I rewatch this video from time to time :)
Same here
Same!!!
have you seen the c10 video. if not check it out it's on drive
I revisit every 4 or so months.
+William Neigum Theres alot of C-10 videos. Which one?
"Couldn't haul anything but ass" lmao
Honald Trinton , and pass everything but gas stations..
And it did that very well
In 1999, Mark Guimont and Bob Gibson from Kingston, Ontario drove a 1998 AWD Sonoma with a v6 competition engine of around 350hp in the One Lap of America, and again in 2000. The truck handled very well, accelerated with AWD and was generally set up well for racing. They did quite well despite some issues that you'd associate with a one-off GM show vehicle. Which it was, it was put into a trash compactor directly after the last race.
Just a bit of history which is similar to this Syclone.
This is amazing. I love the Syclone, Grand National, and Typhoon. I would love to have any of the three in my garage. The owner is a true enthusiast.
Yes thank you typhoon the properly set up one blinged out beats any escalade
Or navigator as sexy as the body styles have progressed
I still come back here from time to time just to listen to that magnificent exhaust sound. It's wonderful what a big turbo can do to a nice deep exhaust sound that would otherwise be loud and obnoxious.
This truck has been one of my favorite vehicles since I was a kid, and this one does not disappoint. Love everything about it, especially the radiator in the back!
I love builds like this. Amazing job!
This is just an epic build, I love Syclones and this one is just in another level. Bravo Sir!
And Matt, thanks for this season of tuned, it was fantastic. Keep uploading videos to TST.
Allways loved the Syclone and the Typhoon, but this is insane! Great car!
Excellent build and a damn nice garage!
3rd or 4th time I've come back to check out this truck. Makes me smile every time.
yeah, and i keep coming back to check and see if anyone found the name of this song... seriously, come on internet.
It's probably that royalty-free generic stock stuff. Shazam wouldn't recognize it nor would the google play music widget.
McBango Right there with you, LET'S GET A LINK FOR THE TUNE, TY!
Here due to inspiration for my 4.3
@@DM12345 darude- cockstorm
This guy gets it... Keeping the original spirit of a base vehicle has been something I truly believe in, and I'm glad to see such an example of such, especially on a vehicle as unique as the GMC Syclone!
I love episodes like this. Keep it up, the outrageous builds are the coolest ones to cover!
"It couldn't haul anything but ass" lmao... love that!!
I have a 91 Sonoma with 330,000 kms on the 4.3 V6. Best damn vehicle I've ever owned.
I work at a go kart place in Reno, NV, and this guy comes into my work once a week to race go karts! Very nice guy.
owning/driving a syclone has always been a childhood dream of mine.
.
Lovers of fast trucks might like to check out the long tradition of small truck racing in Thailand - often diesels and often not as fast as you might imagine (some have to double as everyday farm trucks) yet a real, proper, open access, home grown racing for people on real-world incomes and limited resources - wonderful!
Yeah....I love their scooter races.... Pretty impressive
I gotta stop getting sucked into these videos and get back out to the garage! Nice truck!
Almost clicked away but stuck around after you said kept V6... Great build man! Love my modded 4.3L yours is just a work of art, just WOW!
Thank you for making this video. Syclone's are my favorite truck and this made me pretty darn happy!
I wanted the Syclone badly as a teenager.
Matlock Wallace build it now with grown money. Lol.
@303StreetMachines Syclone AND Lightning, niceeee
.
I STILL WANT 1🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@InfluentGlobe9 U HAVE BOTH MY FRIEND 🤔😑🤔😑
That thing is fucking sick! I love it, it doesn't even sound like a v6. I have wanted a syclone or typhoon since I was a kid
It is always a pleasure to see an American who respects the car, doesn't V8 everything and doesn't pimp out the car so it looks like a circus car. Great project!
Stunning build and that exhaust note just leaves me speechless!
I love the style of those S10's And that mother is fast!
Not typically into American cars, but thank goodness it doesn't have a LS. Respect
Buddy an LS is the this truck needs....
Glad he kept the 3.8 turbo6. It just wouldn't be a cyclone without it. Same with the GN.
Whistle Teets my gn got a ls1turbo now its way faster and better what u mean
@@WhistleTeets85 what? 3.8 turbo6? Syclones and Typhoons didn't come stock with 3.8L's they came stock with a 4.3L V6 that GM slapped a turbo system onto, and AWD system from the Bravada SUV. Faster then a Ferrari and a GN.
That is SWEET! I love to see crazy and unusual builds like this!
There's something so special about classic unique cars like this it puts a smile on my face every time I watch this video.
Why put a V-8 into a Syclone anyway? Why not save tons of money and put it in a regular S-15 or S10? In other words, why would anyone buy a Syclone not for its inherent uniqueness, the turbo 6?
MAN I AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT!! TO ME PUTTIN A V-8 IN A SYCLONE MAKES IT NOT A SYCLONE ANYMORE..ITS LIKE PUTTIN A 4 CYL IN A FORD LIGHTNING AND STILL CALLIN IT A LIGHTNING.. HEH
tyeson85 CAPS LOCK WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THIS POST!!!!
why not just switch to Geico and switch 15% on your insurance while you're at it?
History, if you watch any history on this thing, its the perfect sleeper.
justforever96 , could have used a 1st gen s10 with zq8 suspension and bravada awd and left that one a true syclone
This is what hotrodding is all about right here...
Nice
GMC Syclone (5.0 Mustang killer) '90s legend that'll smoke ur !@#$, lol
No that's what women who are into tuners do to great vehicles.
Yes, coming from one of fellow subscribers here
I've always had a soft spot for Syclones and Typhoons. This one is awesome.
Great way to finish the season. Thanks, Matt. Looking forward to the next one!
So beautiful
Nice!
And I casted this video up to my TV, for that BIG look.
Always wanted one of these
What a work of art. That truck is one true definition of creativity and ingenuity coming together to form something badass.
Every time I watch builds like these, it makes me believe that I can do what I truly want to do with my car. Taking an 05 Malibu and doing a drive train swap with a 6th gen Corvette or an 06 GTO. I hope that one day when I complete that build that you Matt, can come drive my car.
Almost sounds like the rotsun..
+Benjamin Kenney same engine
Yeah I know, just made me think of it
+theduderski what's the engine?
+Sam Markstrom 4.3 v6
Yeah they both had the 4.3s but the rotson has a 7.3powerstroke turbo
this truck is my wet dream materialized in black.
Back in 92...rode in one with a 150 shot.... Cassette litteraly flew out of the deck and hit the back wall of the cab ..... Complete Animals....love Syclones
i owned a typhoon back in my high school daze and absolutely loved it....until it broke,but it was the same platform as the syclone and was a fun truck especially for a 17yr old kid.nothing like this beast of a truck here but still brings back memories.nice truck!that thing is wicked..keep up the good work
syclones are dope
There are next to zero performance mods retail for an s10/15. However if you wanna slam one, you're in luck!
That's because a V8 swap is so easy.
The stock fuel injection system in these trucks in certain years is their downfall. With the spider injection (center sequential) injectors were not able to be swapped and thus the max one could obtain was around 400hp max with correct tuning. Later years used the multiport which solved this issue, but before that the only way was to swap to a marine intake and run an after market system. Also the 4.3 Z code engines were also multi-point in an era of throttle body injection, thus allowing them to stretch the limits when matched with the td06.
love the radiator placement , creative!
Absolutely love it! Cyclone and Typhoon have been on my list for a long time.
Love it, I've always loved these trucks and nearly bought one in the past...Amazing project and I'm glad he left the soul of the truck intact, no ls v8.
More video(s) in the future of this build please.
I've always liked the Syclone/Typhoon trucks...This one goes to Eleven!!!
I LOVE IT!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND A GREAT BUILD!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!
This video pushed me to start up the search I had started in the late 90's for Typhoon number 13. I had given up hope of finding it but when this video first came out I decided to start looking again. Found it in 2017 and bought it. Had a badass engine built for it last year and working on getting a good suspension under it with some nice brakes this year. Got a lot of work ahead of me but I always wanted to come back here to thank you for rekindling my search for my childhood dream car.
inspector13jjf You are welcome!
"Ben Stiller imposter" hahahaha
"Ben Stiller imposter" lol
+Owen “cashmoney” Hoover craft full of eels & wheels huh...i saw that 2....& glassless mirror...lol
Looks more like Paul Ruud.
Love the unique vehicle selection and the terrific cinematography going up the mountain.
That thing looks solid. Very well done.
Why does this sounds soooo damn good?
thsoe big displacement gm v6s my friend haha. they sound so ANGRY 😈
It really is mean
Where he is driving looks like the roads from the movie "The Wraith"
+NoypiTheWhiteBoy Loved that movie!
This is right out side of Reno nevada
@@anthonypacheco1475 correct the road he was driving on was the one from Dayton, Nevada to Virginia City, Nevada. Adam lives up the street from me.
This thing is wicked!!! So awesome.
The scoop to the rear mount radiator! Such pretty custom fabrication. Adam you're awesome.
"everything except driving it ive left to the professionals"
Ben Stiller Imposter. lmfao
.
a lot of love on it , excellent built!
Love the build! So cool
I want one please! Awesome vehicle😉
I would like to see where he put the coolant hoses and where they run on that truck
probably did it similiar to a Fiero where they run under the truck along the frame rails.
What is the song in the very begining??????? :))
Beast of a truck. Nice build!
"It couldn't haul anything, but ass" I'm definitely going to use that quote for trucks.
music name please??? anyone
Why is there even 71 dislikes??...oh wait they must not be Americans lmfao
Donnie Oneill because the bald guy is a douche
Lightning owners 😂
Not usually my type of thing,but I really love this build. Glad he managed to fix it. :)
Matt you're killing it. Love your show.
10.3 @ 132 mph in the 1/4...that's all i really cared about. Sweet.
That's my friends dads car!
Gage?!
+Adam Jr Auerbach what
+Quadrider250 yes it's gage
+Quadrider250 Small world
+Adam Jr Auerbach I know right☺
These are the episodes that got me watching tuned in the first place. It is nice to see the Subarus, evos, and other popular tuner cars. but those all have huge markets with off the shelf products someone can bolt on without really knowing anything about engines and car setups. These are the real car lovers. keep it up tuned, another great season on the books. much enjoyed.
These are the kind of builds that I like. Straight from the heart builds. I want to see more of the clone :)
is it 4wd or awd?
Viscous coupled all wheel drive.
ok wow no wounder is handles surprisingly good
.
What is the intro song?
Henry Windsor I wanna know too!
my favorite truck!
That truck is completely bad ass man! Incredible build and uniqueness! Sending lots of respect your way haha. Great episode
At 88mph does it go back to the future?
Working on adding that capability as we speak!
I would help but I have no flux capacitor sorry
Would be nice to have "Music Used" in the credits or something
Loser.
RandMan14 You seem bored. Why don't you go find out this music for me or something, since I am still curious. Run along now
+insanitystudio loser
why u do dis
much respect to matt, n the cars owner, thats one epic build, one epic truck, its left field, and I like that, I often see a GMC Typhoon parked in the same place in central london
I remember seeing this on +Speedhunters a couple of years ago! Finally awesome to see footage of this thing!
i want to see an r32
Sould i suggest my 532 bhp Lancia Zagato
Very cool truck. Great build :-)
Very cool, builder is a man of vision and taste.
WHY DIDN"T GM SEE THIS AS THE NEXT BIG THING?! American performance cars should have been AWD! FR-based AWD! NOT FF-based! All GM had to do was maybe bring back the Monte Carlo and/or the Grand Nat as a Mid-size/large AWD sport coupe. In not Chevy or Buick, then give it to Pontiac so they can do something to justify themselves, in big way. The G-body was not that big back then, so something about that size would have been awesome.
FR-based AWD?
JD
I think he meant Rear wheel drive biased AWD system...
JD
FR = Front-engine, Rear wheel drive. FR based AWD examples include the GT-R, BMW AWD cars, AWD Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, AWD/4WD trucks and Truck based S/CUVs. You take out the Front wheel drive components of an AWD vehicle and it is still a RWD vehicle.
FR based AWD cars are fairly uncommon becasue of the prevulence of FF, Front engine, Front wheel drive, cars to which AWD is often added after the fact, like the Ford Fusion, Mitsubishi Lan Evo, among others.. Purpose made FF-Based AWD cars include most AUDIs and Subarus.
vix121
Nope. "based". FR-based AWD...
If you take out the Front wheel drive components of an AWD vehicle, it can still function just easily as a RWD, as a FF-Based AWD will function as a FWD with the RWD components removed.
FR based cars are uncommon because there aren't many FR cars this is done to, these days. But FR-Based AWDs still occur, like the GT-R and BMW and Mercedes AWD versions of their RWD cars. CHRYSLER and GM have similar offerings but there are desperately few Purpose made FR based AWD cars.
Nobody would buy them, look at the GTO.
I hate trucks with a passion but this is fucking legit, I'd drive that!
Oh come on, you can't shit on ALL american vehicles (besides the syclone)
simply stunning , thanks for the post
So damn cooool!! best project I have seen here
i want it but needs a real paint job
Every time I get around to getting the truck ready for paint, I need to modify something else from a functional standpoint. On second thought a race track can be pretty brutal to a nice paint job.
HighPerformanceTruck Cool build man. Great to see people doing unique stuff. Every week I feel the comments section is full of people who don't understand the premise of the show, so don't pay too much heed to the haters. I like the rough and ready look; going fast makes everything look cool anyway.
Vary true just my opinion this is your truck?
PainEditz
Totally understand. Yes my fast pig.
HighPerformanceTruck Amazing build :) i love it tho so different shoot if u lived close id pay u to help me build a car
Meanwhile in Australia... v8 ute racing is completely normal...
(a ute is what you yanks call a pick up)
Phillip Tunstall lol utes..some of us already knew that one &
we have NASCAR pickup racing for some reason
been down under for a lil while, got in a V8 ute, still shiting my pants 5 years later
weve been racing puck up trucks forever.... pick ul truck is what you koalas call ute
Krevin Grard el camino (68-70) is my favorite car but its technically a truck...
Krevin Grard guess that makes since
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT IS BADASS BUILD!!!!
visionary .. beautiful build. keep it coming
Season? this is not a tv show. It's a youtube channel.
The word "season" is simply being used by /Drive and co. to organizing specific a specific period of time. Meaning that their current run of /Tuned has come to a closed, and will be replaced by /Big Muscle, in all likelihood.
but.. but season sounds cool.
Drive is the channel. Tuned is the show. The show that runs in seasons, just like TV.
But it's not..
XD
vitto must you be petulant ? ... just enjoy it for what it is
Not sure if I like this... I mean to each his own but this guy could of started with a cheap-ass worth-nothing S-10 instead of wrecking an actual Syclone.
Also, where did he get an aluminum 4.3L?? And why does it only have 500hp!?
500hp to four wheels is quite a bit. Possible conservative tuning?
As I mentioned previously below the truck had roughly 110k miles on it when we decided to go all out. If I get the urge, I can buy a low mile collectible Syclone, park it, look at it, never drive it and hope it appreciates in value some day.
The 4.3L aluminum block is now out of production, but once upon a time it was offered by the GM Performance division. It is what is known as their a Bowtie racing block designed to be stronger to handle higher horsepower levels along with better oiling passages designed for higher loads and rpms.
500 horsepower to the wheels is plenty for a 3000 lb truck used primarily for road racing. Keeping the engine reliable and the truck drivable is crucial. Even with the all wheel drive and sticky R compound tires, this much power can still spin all four tires!
Andrew B
Exactly! Tuned conservatively for longevity! No interest in building a 1000 hp dyno queen by swapping in a giant lethargic turbo, monster fuel injectors, overly aggressive timing and ultimately having to rebuild the motor all too frequently.
HighPerformanceTruck Very cool truck. Some people don't understand the money involved in building/maintaining a high power vehicle. Currently working on a 06' Subaru WRX while we drive the 2011 wrx :)
HighPerformanceTruck Neat, don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to dog your awesome creation. This truck tickles me in all the right places. Just my style of modification too! (love the Alum 4.3L) I guess I'm just one of those people who doesn't like modding limited editions.
lol I think this bothers me even more since I like the truck so much. Two sides of my brain fighting!
I too, rewatch this unicorn fly from time to time. Just hearing it tear up the winding roads makes me want to send my little 93 s10 as well.
best video they have posted in all its years... love this truck
