1992 GMC Typhoon

This 1992 GMC Typhoon deserves a closer look! Now featured in our Denver showroom is a very cool example of what the Typhoons are capable of. When the typhoon came out in the early 90’s it gained a lot of attention with its Turbo’d V6 and all wheel drive platform. The 4.3L V6 under the hood was pumping out a whopping 280 horsepower from the factory and with the all-wheel drive capabilities was able to hook and go! This 1992 Typhoon though is definitely not stock; the 4.3L block is still under the hood but the internals have since been changed to a forged rotating assembly including Eagle rods, 8:5.1 JE pistons, Comp Cams 412 camshaft with .500 lift at 234/234 @ 114 degrees of separation. 1.5 self aligning roller rocks, matched valve spring, and all dressed up with ARP hardware. The original heads were changed out for a set of 1996 “772 casting” Vortec heads machined and modified to mate to the factory lower intake for better flow and all of this was done for the icing on the cake… the stock turbo was changed out for the larger PTE 51 turbo! This set up is significantly more power than the way it came stock and it is easy to tell while driving. Running and conservative 18 lbs. of boost on the current tune this Typhoon can pull mid twelve second quarter mile times at sea-level while still being very much streetable. The 4L80E transmission provides crisp shifts in between gears and comes equipped with a 2800 rpm lock up stall converter purchased through TCS and the transmission is controlled via TCI EZ ECU with programmable parameters. The interior has been kept mostly stock on this truck with exception to the gauge cluster on the A-pillar and the Premier aftermarket radio installed. Driving this Typhoon is an absolute blast! It handles very well and seems to have endless amounts of power.
