Tony , this has been one of the coolest builds I’ve ever seen and also a 1st that I know of! A+ for creativity and also a++ for buget! I love it man I hope to continue to see the sikeclone content rolling in. It’s inspirational to me I too always wanted one but never could afford. Appreciate all yalls efforts!!!

The GM engineers must had a similar moment when they realised it turned out better than expected. Great job I love this build.

Tony, i love how a budget street truck that runs 12s is legitimately great. Man, if i had something that ran 12s in high school i would have owned the town. Lets see more of this and less ridiculous 1000hp undrivable builds!

Tony , thank you ! I’m a DVET paralyzed,and I was a tech and started wrenching in the early 1980’s ,but in the early 2000’s I was crippled broke 30 bones,and blinded in one eye, watching you wrench on these older projects reminds of being a kid pulling cars apart,throwing different combos together learning what did and didn’t work, although back then, even a 70’s trans am was 2500 bucks complete and running (at least mine was)even though the bird might of been faded a little ,they were rust free still,with great paint, it cracks me up how we didn’t realize as kids the amount of value we killed by removing everything we could to lighten them up,and increase the power, but it was fun,and projects like this just simply reminds me of a better life and time we all probably had as young gear heads..that would be fun to drive around in, reminds me of back in the day when GN’s were everywhere it seemed, you’d see at least one or a t-type every day, and the cyclones/ tycoon where brand new on the dealer lots all parked in a row outside way in the back where the gates locked ,lol..😂😂😂😂 as they where easy to steal and sadly some tried which forced many dealers to not even allow test drives as some fools would just hand them a fake DRIVER LIC, and you’d never see them again..which spoiled it for everyone ,cause as kids we couldn’t afford one, but you still wanted to test drive them, lol.l

I absolutely love the obsession of doing it cheaper and faster. This is so cool to watch.

This better be good, we gave Derek the night off😏

I think everybody is chasing that feeling Tony has after he gave it a few runs. Its got me all inspired, thanks for the videos!

This is easily the best build I've seen on a car channel in many years. It's the absolute essence of what so many us want to do and the budget makes it achievable! Enjoyed every second of you guys enjoying it, and genuinely feels like we're right there with this dream build of a truck.

As a guy that’s owned several Sy’s & Ty’s, I absolutely love seeing what you’re doing. I would love to see this truck black with some fiberglass reproduction cladding, and some red decals reading “Sykeclone”

This series has me planning out my ‘91 Sonoma from behind my buddy’s dad’s barn since ‘04 to next spring’s project!

"It sounds terrible, it's hilarious, and it is a rocketship" - This truck is a heck of a lot of fun, thanks for the videos!

I’d love to see a beefed up 4.3 that could hold more boost and more max RPM. Otherwise, it’s rad, great job fellas!

This episode made me smile like an idiot. I love the V6 Turbo AWD S-10. It's fantastic.

Original Syclone said it made 280hp. But they made way more "power" meaning torque than advertised, but about 100 ft lb. My only trials with 95% stock Syclone dyno was about 240whp and 390 lb ft.... which makes the advertised torque rating quite "conservative" when re-calc'd the drivetrain loss. That truck at the time had approx 90k Farm Miles on it... (I got it in as rough a shape as the one you looked at, and fully restored it and then starting hunting more power til it exploded transfer cases on prepped track)

Best KZfaq project I’ve seen in a while. Not some hypercar nonsense, a junk yard build any of us could save up and afford to build at home, and it’s paying homage to a very cool car.

Tony, after what you built with the Twinpala, I’ll literally watch you build anything. Including a Powerwheels for your kid. You rock.

Tony, you’re the best. These videos are great!

Thanks for taking the truck to a legal place to test it. Your a role model and it's good to see. The enthusiasm is great to see and It would be nice to see modest improvements to build upon.

More content on the Sike Clone!!!! YES! Love this truck so much. So friggin fast!!!!!

I'm sure everyone who watched this entire series would appreciate a parts list breakdown.

This is my favorite build, and it's led me on several stupid web searches for GMC 6 cylinder engines to put a cheap-ass turbo on. The AWD is perfect for this, and I'm really glad you made sure it was an integral part of the build. Like you said, I hope there are tons of builders doing their take on this budget monster. THANKS!

I absolutely love all the suspension noise it's making when you brake boost it. The old hunk of junk is just begging you to launch it! Awesome build 👌

Track times take track days! This was legit! Its is a mans dream to build the better truck. Congrats guys.

Time for some Syclone forum members to bring their factory trucks and do a little bit of racing. Love the truck. This will be a fun platform to do many videos with upgrades and changes.

I love the stuff you guys do. You do realistic builds that we at home can do but probably won’t ever get to do. Thank you all.

What an awesome project, very well executed for low money. Such a likable group too

I miss my 91 262 v6 truck. Seeing this brought to life and thrash this well is awesome!

This is a sweet build! I love the fact you you read these, take advise from your fans and say hey some people who know a little more about this than we do vs blowing them off claiming you are better than them. Thats what makes you awesome

Awesome job guys and my wife was watching and she got excited about the price and suggested that we can build one too. Thanks for posting this.

This is the greatest car project on KZfaq period. I knew a guy back in the 90s who loves these and did all sorts of other crazy mashup cars… His favorite thing to make these and other turbo cars absolutely FLY for dirt cheap was water/meth injection. It’s not only lets you run way more boost, it cools the charged air as well as an intercooler if not better. He’d just use winter blend windshield washer fluid, it’s 50/50 water meth. He had a Starion with a turbo charged 302 in it, it made 400hp off meth and 600 on it. He said he could make 800 but it just spins tires then.

This project rocks and your team rocks! Not only did you guys knock it out of the park but when I later watched HRGs Typhoon episode I thought Stay Tuned's team hit a triple grand-slam. HRGs lack of passion and "we're so far above this 80s junk" attitude was palpable and a real turn off. Love your teams passion for the projects. It too is palpable and what drives me to watch your videos. Thanks

I have always loved these old S trucks, owned several over the years. I absolutely want to build one similar to this now! This build series has been great. Keep it up guys!

I'll always walk by a Lambo to check this truck out.

Tony's passion for this stuff is awesome. I can feel his energy from my office desk.

Love it when a plan comes together. Incredible.

This is your best build on the channel. Keep the budget theme going and see how far this can go!

I was smiling the entire video. I am glad this truck came together so well, and is a BEAST! Thanks for the entertainment.

I love your delivery and how you keep things simple and entertaining. Great video. 😬👍

I swear I love this channel more and more every episode.

Actually laughed out loud when he said, “they hit us with the hoagie paper.” 😂😂😂

Sick, sick, sick. So cool to see it running on the blow thru setup.....any Holley style carb is cool because you can change everything, but they are tricky to tune because you can change everything. Awesome build man.

I love Tony’s ear to ear smiles & legit happy /fun when that frame crackin 4.3 came to life! I gave him a huge YES! That is what makes me come back to his channel,hard to top this one.

The best thing that ever happened to this project was checking out that busted up POS syclone and deciding F that, I'm building my own cheaper and faster than a cherry unit. Gotta get the chassis dialed in and some SikeClone graphics on the sides, and some SikeClone merch in the store. Crazy build! Keep'em coming!

I would love to see this done with the newer 4.3 that are based off the LS keep up the great work

Love this build. It’s nice to see that not everything has to have 1000hp to be cool.

I can feel the genuine excitement & love Tony & even the team has for this truck. Glad to see it excuses expectations.

A Syclone was my dream truck in high school. I wanted to do something similar with the 99 and 03 S10s I had. Love this build, and this channel

Cheap rowdy speed! I love this build, too cool. Cheers boys, well done! I am so impressed at the power a 'junk' 4.3 is putting out. Super stoked to see this thing get even more rowdy!

I think the smaller 2.5" exhaust system is hurting your horsepower. A 3" system would give less restriction and let your turbo breathe better. Killer build. I love it. I've got a similar looking 1986 2wd rcsb s10.

All of these episodes legitimately make me smile while watching. So awesome!

You are grinning like a kid in a candy store. Love it. You just sent the cost of old s10's through the roof.

Keep going, Tony. You're definitely on to something ppl want to see.

I'd love to see what Mike Finnegan thinks of this, especially with his love of mini trucks.

Well Tony, I’d love to see this head on out to the HotRod Garage shop and go up against the typhoon that Lucky & Alex have been working on. Be an awesome meet up!

I love how excited you guys are. .. I love this truck

This episode had me smiling ear to ear! So cool seeing how far y’all have come with the sikeclone. Can’t wait to see what else y’all do with it.

Man that thing is awesome. I’m fighting the urge to build one out of the 10+ s10s I have. Keep it up I’m loving the channel.

This build makes me want to build my own Psych-Clone. Love the real world builds.

I love your editing and not redoing every scene, the scene of you talking and the tools almost dropping the tools in the engine bay made me laugh cause of how real that dumb shit is and you didn’t miss a beat like you should 😂 love these videos man please keep ‘em coming

Always looking forward to a Stay Tuned video no matter what the project is. Gotta say though that im excited to see how the sike clone turns out.

From my days with turbo Buicks…upgrade the brakes to hold more boost off the line, look into bags or suspension stuff when it does start spinning, and get that exhaust as open as possible…could be an 11 second truck without too much work 😮 Killer build, always loved those trucks!!

I'm so proud. Congratulations on the 0-60 times! Glad you don't plan on LS swapping. ARP head studs if you have to put some new rings or gasket later. That engine already has hyper pistons and forged rods in 92-94. Cam is better than the newer 4.3 also. Thank you for trying the vette servo swap! If you smoke the 2-4 band (looks like a big parking brake shoe) it can also be upgraded in a few minutes once trans is out.(have to pull front pump out) Nice to have that torque so early. No real need for a high-stall converter in this thing.

Your coolest build so far Tony. Very enjoyable to watch!

Well done! The look of surprise and joy on your faces followed by shit eating grins was simply awesome! So glad the Frankenstein truck is performing better than expected and can’t wait to see what you do to refine and make it better. Awesome build series Tony!

you guys rock. the joy in your faces is priceless. brought back memories of me learning to build boost with my turbo barra Falcon. got that old dog to run 12.3. challenge is on to go quicker. builds for the working man love you guys.

👱🏻‍♂️If anyone out there, in the area, that has a bon stock Syclone, they should get together with you guy's and do a few drag races together. That would be amazing. Great job on this build. We all see how happy this truck makes you. Congratulations 🎊.

Coolest build ever! You know you’ve inspired many more builds like this!

Servo is just a piston that applies one of the bands in a transmission. bigger piston equals more force. Other mod that is worth doing without pulling the trans is 1-2 accumulator, a device that is actually designed to slow down a shift, to make it feel more granny-like, you can either block it or like stack 2 pistons in it to reduce piston travel. It needs a pan pulled so it's way messier.

I love this project, and I can't believe you only got 6 grand into it so far! After the tune, I'll give you 7k! lol. I can't wait to see how it ends up.

Awesome video! Love your build . Great to see a known KZfaqr doing a build, proving it and at a price almost anyone can do in there backyard 👍

S10 owners have all dreamed of building a syclone/typhoon clone and now you have shown us how easy it is. Thanks Tony!

Let’s Fn Go! Can’t wait to see what this better version of a cyclone can do! HellYeah Sike Clone! Beer and a Slice Time. Ready to Stay Tuned!🍺🍕

I wish I had as much talent as these men have in their pinkeye fingers, love the no fear attitude, keep up the great work, I am hoping that this truck will get all the fixings like rust removal and paint, I get it's a cheap cyclone, but I want to see it look like a garage princess that gets used like a daily, you guys deserve more subs cuz the contend is spot on!!!!

This series reminds me that it doesn't take a 5 figure budget to build a badass machine. In this day and age, I need that

Great job Tony!!!!! Loved the whole build, down and dirty power!!!!!

Can't wait to see you do a drag and drive in this thing!! Gonna be so epic, do you think you'll ever look to go fuel injection with LS coil packs at any point?

It will add power if you add an "Intracooler" section to that charge pipe. No need to reroute. Water to air intracooler. Watch the power jump. (Just from experience.)

Awesome! Absolutely, awesome! Don’t break this one. The Sike Clone rules!!

This is so awesome!!! I'm so glad it works this great for yall. I love S-10's. People thought I was nuts for lifting Baby Blazers but they're so much fun.

These guys are doing good things for AWD Astro values.

I love how proud TA is of this truck. It's so wholesome

This is a comment for comments sake. KZfaq people always say comments “help them”. Well, Stay Tuned is the shit, and I want MORE videos, and I want to support Tony and the fellas. So here’s a comment. Keep the content coming dudes! We love you out here!!!!

This is just absolutely killer dude. Makes me want to move my timeline for a budget s10 up a lot.

The dyno session reminded me of running my subaru, if it'd made 299 I'd have been gutted and if it'd made 301 I'd have been scared for its life :) Loved "I am going to try to do this while learning nothing"

First time one of Tony's budget projects worked (at least for more than 2 pulls). Well done my man 👏👏👏

Everybody's smiling all over every episode of this build. You guys are hitting a stride. Keep it coming!

UK watcher here, loving this build keep it up!

Oh man, the flashlight bit brought back so many memories !

I think the closed captions just hit the nail right on the head, and Tony too! They should definitely be called “tingle turbos” from this moment forth! ❤😂

I've been an S10 fan since I bought my 92 Blazer new, thanks for putting all kinds of grins on my face!

Oh man. That flashlight bit brought back repressed memories.

This has been the best build series on the KZfaq

Tony! The Sike Clone Delivers! With just the right mix of junk yard parts you’ve unlocked the possibility of a low buck beater that rips! I can’t wait to see what this build ends up as and what other people are going to turn this idea into! Awesome content bro!

I want to do this build so badly now, I can not believe how well this worked!

This might be my favorite project on youtube right now.

Love these random builds 👌. Gotta make one with a new style S10 and the Amera-Barra Vortec 4200 . That would be the newer version if they had built one 😝🤙. Someone build one asap “ hint hint hint “ . Keep killin it guys 👊😎

When that 4.3 leaves the chat you should look into the late model LV3 4.3 V6. Its 11:1 stock so will be pushing it with a turbo but they are 285hp and 315lbft of torque from GM. That would be a cool swap.

“The way this works is I have no idea.” A man after my own heart.

You guys look like the GM engineers probably did back in the day with a parts bin hot rod on the Proving Grounds. This drivetrain combo has been slept on for too long! V8 Prostreet Astro vans also ruled back in the day. I was a detailer at my local Pontiac, Buick, GMC dealer when I was around 21 from 98-2000. All of the cool F bodies Syclone/Typhoons Turbo G bodies and Square Body trucks seemed to come to us for service. Awesome build Tony it reminds me of when the old dude in his Syclone smirked at my lowered ‘84 Toyota Minitruck on 17” TSWs then proceeded to demonstrate OG Plaid speed to me. 👀 Lol!

Tony, please race this against the real thing. I know the numbers don't lie but I just want to see it! Awesome build!! I hope someone makes the Typhoon version of it real soon!
