'92 S-10 PROJECT *+ pics*
Well this a truck ive*we've* had since like 2005.
And IM just now working on it at 16.lol Its a 1992 S-10 2WD V6 2.8L with a 5 speed. 200,000 sum miles are runs great. got it for FREE Replaced: the Fuel pump, Clutch, Breaks/calipers Still to do: Find out why it wont start by the key(something in the steering column) put the cross member and Drive shaft back in Then bleed the breaks and its ready to go. Add-ons: Prime Star wheels(look like pro-stars) Put the scoop on(Because its bad ass) Purple horny Or Bullet in place of the stock muffler *Later on might run duals out the rear.* Oh and the stereo will be replace with a JENSEN System*DVD,Navi,radio,ipod dock,Sat. ready, all that good shit* If i had about $2,000 i would put a 390Hp TVR Tuscan Inline 6 in it. But i have to stick with the crappy 120Hp V6 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/000_1742.jpg *Thats the scoop that will get put on it* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/000_1741.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/000_1738.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...5/000_0097.jpg Got the Transmission and clutch put in yesterday Anyone need a Borg Warner T-5 5 speed? Fits S-10,TVR Tuscan,and more...lol |
as far as it not starting having something to do with the ignition, there is very little to go wrong. If the key turns forward, springs back from the crank position, goes back and key comes out then nothing is wrong with the ignition or the rack. Only possible problem is the electrical ignition switch (which I believe is on the top of the column) but usually if the electrical switch has gone bad, it won't let the key turn properly (just like if the rack was broken).

'92 GM... does it have a VATS key?
I used to have a problem with a '92 Firebird where I think VATS was shorting out and causing intermittent starting issues. |
It does start.....just not with the key....lol
You can cross the leads on the starter and it will start. Im guessing the reson it wont start wiht the key is the same reason why when you try to use the right turn signal the windsheild wipers come on... |
Electrical problems... the mechanics' favorite.
|
VATS?
Isnt that the "smart" key? I just have an old Metal Key *Axxess+* The ONLY reason im guessing is its in the column is cause i popped the dash off under it and jiggled some wires and the wipers came on. yet the switch hadn't moved. |
Quote:
If yours isn't VATS then you have one less thing to worry about. Probably just a plain old short, maybe a faulty wiring harness somewhere? |
Put as little money into it as possible.
Scoop = maximum gayness |
Dude you have been 16 for long time now. LOL
Never heard the term VATS...but I think its called Pass-Key and I'm pretty sure the S-10s in that year didn't have any security. |
I would start it up and use it to go buy something else. Then you can just drive that off a cliff.

What are you talking about?:idk: And if the scoop if for maximum Gayness That means its Double the Gay when i get in it |
Fuck the haters. Get it running good, throw the scoop on there if you want, rattle can it flat black, and drive it until the wheels fall off.
|
Needs a Chevy 350 cranking out about 400hp.
And the scoop has to go unless you have an old Mopar motor in there with 3 two barrels. |

Scoops that feed nothing are kinda :shrug: Now a smallblock V8 or larger V6 in that thing would be kickass. It'd make a nice sleeper. Although you'd have to add a few hundred pounds of something (bags of sand... bolted in railroad iron...) to the ass end to keep traction when you get on the gas. My dad had a 70's Datsun pickup into which he dropped a Buick V6. He finally had to part with it because it kept getting him in trouble. :lol: |
Quote:
Or Maybe a newer Vortec V6 But hell the TVR inline 6 makes 390HP 310Ft/lb and gets 20-25MPG And have you heard the awesomely deep rumble they have |
Quote:
The Syclone engine would be fuck-awesome, but can you even find one anymore? If you can, I bet you could buy two old trucks for what that engine would cost in a semi-complete form. :panic: |
Quote:
If you find one that runs its going to cost $900-1,200. Oh Question one of you might know. The ground wire? on the starter, not the power but the small one Is GONE! so could that cause it to not start? And does it have to be grounded to the Ignition circuit or can it just be ground to battery? Stupid i know, but i dont fuck with starters, i just kick shit ^_^ |

Anyways the funniest story about his drag racing was he saw some kids looking at a WS6 firebird when they first came out. This guy is in his late 40s and all grey hair. He stopped and talked to the guys some and he is a master shit talker too. He asked them if it's fast and the one guy responds "Fuck yeah it's fast". He then asked if they thought it could keep up with the S10. They laughed and he said he felt he could beat them with that truck and start in 2nd gear (That was a trick cause 1st gear was useless). Even had one guy ride in his truck and put it into 2nd gear. Well they took off and the WS6 took off. He said to the guy who was now busting out laughing "Hang on to your tutu" and it got up in the RPMs the truck just peeled back. The guy's jaw dropped and he blew by the WS6 like it wasn't even there. The guy got out of the truck and didn't say a word. I was with him when we raced a Viper. We smoked it to about 120mph and then the aerodynamics kicked in. The guy at that point stuck his arm out the window and waved him on. Said he wasn't going to give the guy the satisfaction of thinking he could beat him int he 100s. GMC Syclones are fucking badass too. And I love the Buick Grand Nationals. No one expects those to be fast. |
Where are you going to find a TVR engine?
Some things just aren't worth sinking much money into. Not in this economy where you can buy brand new cars for thousands off. |

My Dakota gets squirrely enough with the 4.7 V8 and it was BUILT for that. Sucks major ass when the roads are even kinda slick. |

Couple of pics... http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1162/...2f37b31d_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1404/...9b415863_o.jpg Here is some video of various races. Check out that V8 S10 running high 9s. From what I remember it was streetable (Every car had to be in this event) except a fuel cell at the very back. Suspension work but said he daily drove it. Oh yeah. Check out what happens when you let women drive cars. Plus check out what would happen if men did not worry about women. Super fast but ugly ass cars... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcKVWU_cJBs |
fawk... he damn near looped that little hatchback. :lol:

He can find the Syclone motor itself, but the turbo and everything else would be another matter entirely.

But that is what happens when you give a redneck unlimited funds, a plasma cutter, welder, and a lots of beer. I could just see that conversation... Bill - "Hey Bob. See that little bitty hatchback we have sitting around" Bob - "Yeah" Bill - "See that big ass motor we have laying around" Bob - "Yeah" Bill - "Wnat to drink some more beer and put that big motor in that little car" Bob - "Yeah" |
