DIY Syclone: Cheaper, Faster, Better, AWD TURBO S10!? | PART 7 - CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THE SAME TRUCK!

Our Sike Clone Project has a fresh Junkyard 4.3 Turbo V6 and is making more power than EVER! (We think). Tony Angelo and the Stay Tuned crew give this S10 a makeover that will blow your mind! This old $1200 dollar truck looks like a million bucks after the guys get finished and then it's time to get back on track with a tighter torque converter and a run at a BEST EVER 0-60 time!

[@One_Shot_Garage]

Gotta say. Originally I subbed just to support Tony doing his own thing away from MT. But Stay Tuned has produced some genuinely entertaining and enjoyable content and has become one of my favorite youtube channels.

[@joebuddensvoicecoach3060]

My EXACT sentiments...

[@StayTunedTA]

Hey, well I appreciate it either way! And thanks for all the continued support!

[@GrandPitoVic]

You have that right. I've been watching T/A since Hotrod Garage and I am glad he is doing his own thing his way. Great content. Haggertys wasn't a good fit. It didn't seem like they let him be himself. Way better this way.

[@Jmarxz]

Love it. I can’t miss an upload Tony is always doing something awesome and he’s alway dropping knowledgeable info!

[@br549200]

Shows you who had things happening in his previous endeavors.

[@runnersp1985]

The thing I love about this channel is that it’s growing and it’s solely down to some truly great content. No dumb clickbaity titles, no silly viral stunts, just good people doing good, fun, enjoyable stuff.

[@jasoncroson8466]

Amen! Brother

[@warrenmiconi8141]

Sykeclone maybe. LOL

[@userANAKIN]

Yes! This content is more my style. Seems like every other car channel builds exotic cars and hellcats now. Which was cool at first but has become repetitive.

[@316Autos]

I just realized how much I need a Sike Clone vs Rotsun showdown. This is your best project, I love it.

[@christopherhess8523]

THEY GOTTA MAKE IT HAPPEN! That would be awesome

[@lonniemuncy1005]

That would be an epic battle !

[@adammizell6227]

YES

[@The_TOMMYRAZOR]

The budget aspect of this channel is what makes me STAY TUNED along with every back yard wrencher with limited funds as well

[@tylersmith7054]

Last time I was this early I became a father.

[@coryraynor8393]

Mee too sir

Damn, I've been there.

Congratulations? Lol.

[@jeffreyperrault3792]

😂love your comment that's fuckin hilarious

[@tryin2figureitout]

Congratulations 🎉 on 200k. This truck is such an epic build. I love that you are doing it on a budget. I like seeing a channel that isn’t constantly making shit normal people just can’t afford. Keep it up guys.

[@KevinCruz-pu2ue]

Doing projects on a budget should be a constant theme of this show. I'm certain Tony will want to get into more expensive projects as the channel grows but I'd love for the theme of the channel to stay cheap projects. The Sykeclone is the coolest build on KZbin IMO because if you've got $20k to buy yourself a sports vehicle and you want something really fast, you might be able to do this truck better than anything you can buy, including adding labor costs for work you can't do if you don't have a lift.

[@joeross2555]

The fact that the average fella watching is probably living to there means budget, cheap ,inexpensive builds like this can get us in the mini van so to say and headed to the junk yard to check for tin pile treasures motivates for sure sweet little truck for sure ! Thanks for the motivation for us average Joe's!

[@landon390]

Something that I really like about your channel is the enthusiasm and excitement for projects and video content creation. Bigger channels that they have been doing it for years and years have lost that and it’s great to see it again.

[@ritchschut1997]

Cam and rings are certainly going to have an affect on the blow thru carb. As far as the trans issues go, Stay with the v6 converter, but upgrade the guts to what the v8s came with ( and yes, they are different ). Also, you may want to contact performabuilt transmissions ( who also have a youtube channel ) right there not far from you in PA. Who knows, they MIGHT be interested in sponsoring you. They know more than most about getting the best out of the 4l60's.

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

This makes me wonder if MT hasn't been more than a little short sighted. I guess we'll never really know the financials but it's so good to see these content creators thriving on their own.

[@trahar6257]

I won’t watch anything on KZbin that I know is owned by some larger corp. I’m always excited when I see someone build their own channel. Authenticity is everything

[@larryalexander4833]

​ Mt used KZbin to build a huge fan base then left and lied said you could watch for free on their website. Was free for half a episode then wanted a cash 👎 Know we have one of the other channels VGG has gotten big and greedy . Not against making money but stay honest and don't get greedy .

[@IanWrigleyNZ]

@@larryalexander4833 VGG is not getting greedy. He's been offered an opportunity which he's taken, but the content on his channel has not dropped. Mans working his rear off and I don't begrudge him one thing for the success he's made. A fella gotta eat.

[@TonyS26]

This has become a bit of a Friday ritual, it signals the start of the weekend for me, love the scheduled posting time!

[@StayTunedTA]

Awesome! thanks! We didn't really know when to put them out and this has been great for us too.

[@TonyS26]

@@StayTunedTA Glad it's working out, and congrats on 200k fellow Tony(and crew)!

[@jeremybrauchler8109]

The drakar noir, hitting the clubs joke, is pretty hilarious. Needed that. Thanks

[@coreypruka5501]

Anytime Tony is doing transmission work I always remember the thrash with Finn at Drag Week. ‘You transmission bench pressin’ SOB. This is a bad man.’

[@davidh6818]

Congratulations on 200k subs,Your Sike Clone build has inspired me and my 15 yr old son to do the same build on his 53 Plymouth 2 dr hardtop . We've already took our 1st test drive and it is stupid fast,along with being very unique(not many AWD turbo V6 53 Plymouth's out there 😂).

[@bobbywalter5320]

Hell yeah 👍

[@Hanska857]

More than deserved! I remember David freiburger and finnegan announcing a new guy to join hot rod garage, and then eventually you taking over like a boss with lucky. And now you'r running your own show kicking butt!! I love that I've been able to see some of your amazing career! And I'm going to have a drink to your honor and for the next 200k. Keep being awesome!! (edit because don't think I've forgotten your awesome team!!)

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

THIS BUILD IS AWESOME! One of the rare youtube builds that a good diy weekend Warrior can actually achieve financially. I'm temped to no avail to do the same. AWESOME content!

[@openliquor]

The young guys at work are WRX bros and jacked pickup dudes. None of them knew of the Syclone. We watched the Hemings video on the Syclone over lunch, and then watched Tony’s videos, as they came out. They’ll love this one Monday! Great work, guys.

[@bearrett50kal17]

I detailed cars for about a decade and the SikeClone with just a buff and cleaned up wheels is one of the most dramatic glow ups I've seen from a car before and after an exterior detailing, I love how it's still ratty yet looks so much better cleaned up, I don't even think it needs to be repainted!

[@stevebarnette]

It’s a little after midnight, and I’ve been listening to your vides while working on my own projects. You guys pump me up; motivate me to get out there and wrench. Love the channel and love your style. Peace 🤘🏻

[@Essencials]

Please don’t burn out, one of the best automotive channels on KZbin.

[@kennynelson2269]

Like i said if anyone deserves the success on KZbin its you guys you definitely put in the work tony.. keep it up

[@nathanmellott2262]

As a PA resident and huge S10 fan this has been my favorite series on the Internet. You're killing it guys, keep it up!

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Love your content and crew! Congratulations on hitting 200K Subs! Looking forward to congratulating you when you hit 1 Million Subs! Amazing transformation on the parts bin “Clone”…can’t believe how well the paint came back…you need a transmission sponsor.

[@StayTunedTA]

Thanks! I hope we get to have that toast one day!

[@stevennash530]

The most down and dirty car channel on YT. Tony Angelo and LSC are must watches for me every week. I want to build my own Sike Clone

[@billp5424]

I criticized the ‘80 Dodge truck video but this one is a winner.

[@jasonf8250]

Congrats on hitting 200k subs! I think if you keep it real and relatable you'll go way higher. I'm a fan of the longer video format and I've been binge watching since I discovered your channel. The music is always killer too!

[@eriklarson9137]

100% agree. There is no way he isn't over 1mil subs sometime next year. It's just a matter of time with this channel!

[@joelg4849]

I struggle to find the time for the longer video formats, but the great take away is i get to watch these videos over 2-3 days, so I get extra enjoyment!

[@apollo280zx]

Love that the talented folks that made the big channels successful have broken away and made their own content, staying true to what brought us all together in the first place: straight forward, technical know-how, garage sessions with your friends building cool sh*t. Congratulations Tony and Crew!

[@skipper2086]

I really hope KZbin is promoting this channel. I found stay tuned when yall were featured on vice grip garage and I've been watching ever since.

[@Travis47]

I remember voting heavily for Tony to get cast in roadkill garage. And when they went ppv I followed but then it cut everyone off who wasn’t in the states. I lost all hope of entertaining roadkill content but when Tony started KZbin I was instantly all in

[@KLAYCO47]

Congratulations on 200k! You guys have always been super fun to watch. You'll never lose the shop 😂

I would love to see you guys make it look as original as possible but faster 💪🏼 and yes this is my most favorite build I've ever seen on KZbin and I'm addicted and been watching for years lol 😜

[@jamesalexander7540]

Tony, Your "not looking" comment reminded me of a story. Decades ago Chrysler Corporation ran MoTech. MoTech was an automotive trade school for adults. When interviewing the man who was to be the transmission rebuild instructor it was determined that he was blind. He stated that you did not look at what you were doing you felt what you were doing. He was hired and was a great instructor.

[@benbrown2119]

Congratulations on the 200k subs milestone. Thanks for inviting me to help - glad the channel is growing!

[@adamhayes1958]

With the 4.3 you need to add another injector in the intake tube to get enough fuel.

[@Nick17354]

It isn't fuel injected, at least not yet. If you go back to the beginning of the build, you would see that Tony put a blow through carb on it. I think it's time for a Sniper EFI kit.

[@patrickthomas9006]

No Tony, thank you! Great content! I hope it's getting to a point where the bills are paid between KZbin, merch and Patreon and I'm sure I'm not alone in being extremely excited to see what you guys can do with a little extra spending money when things really take off.

[@Underpantsniper]

Pretty sure this channel will be at 1 million subs before next year.

[@Veldkamp88]

I was a fan of Tony Angelo from back in his drifting and Velocity (MotorTrend) days. Gave his KZbin channel a shot and now everytime a new video pops up, I'm glued watching. Tony and the gang have built some serious awesome car builds. I wish I had half the skills that those boys got. If they ever are by me in NJ, I'm treating them to some good ole Porkroll, egg, n cheese. You guys can't live off on pizza forever! Congrats on your 200k subs!

Let's GO!

[@sarahdell4042]

I love this channel! Really hope you’re enjoying the career move, and that it pays off to boot! Cheers!

[@JSAFIXIT]

I like this type of content, it's more realistic for the average person. Most of us cant go buy a brand new truck, drop an additional 20-30k in parts in it and just laugh it off when the block gets fisted by a rod.

Hey Tony congrats on 200000 subscribers! The truck is awesome and I got my two shirts from you guys today. Stay Tuned and we re gonna lose the shop! Stoked!

[@rufusd9223]

If anyone was apart of the s10 forum in the 90s you’d probably remember a young man that was on there that did something similar with his father. If I remember correctly, it had what called the “wildside” fiberglass truck bed, used the awd components from an Astro van, silver (like that Indy syclone) with the c4 sawblades (or another clean selection) - I remember it being pretty sweet. I had built 4.3 at this time with a v1 sc/intercooled. Also can’t remember if it was awd but there was the “SYborg”. That was also before KZbin was big but the guy was pretty detailed online with the build.

I had a build idea. A full size 80's Ford or Mercury station wagon, underpinned by a Mercury Mountaineer AWD system, powered by a built and Procharged 5.4 2V mod motor from an E-150, run through a built 4R70W or 6R80 transmission. For years I've hoped to see a 80's full size sleeper American wagon, and though I love Steve Morris' "Boostmaster" and Gingium's turbo LS Volvo, I also think of how cool it would be to mash together some attainable Ford parts and see what happens. Love the content, congrats on 200k

Was a pretty gnarly crush injury. Still have a scar there that runs right through my fingerprint. Those suckers are HEAVY!! Luckily I didn’t lose the tip of my finger.
