Thanks to SP and Dan Cragin team. my '95 is purring again no leaks. Needed water pump and a few other recommendations like hoses, etc. Since it was in shop made sense to oil change, change rear pads, and Dan even went ahead and swapped out my rough looking dash cover for a better one after some...
Thanks in advance for any advice.
I have had a great experience with my '95 and thanks to Dan Cragin and Specialty Performance, the car hasn't given me many issues....until now.
I was leaking PS fluid and found the top hose that goes into the reservoir had a bad o-ring, no problem replaced...
I picked up by '95 in 2015 for $24K with 45K miles, unloved, basic maintenance was not done. I was fortunate to bring it to Dan Cragin in LA and he gave me a thorough list of what he recommended after inspection, which I did everything.
This required $15K investment and to me was WELL worth it...
'95 Black Gen I found a few miles from my home in SoCal posted on Craigslist.
Pics looked poor on Craigslist and I lurked for a few months, it never sold so called the owner 3x and finally he called me back weeks later.
View the car, rotted nearly flat tires, oil all over garage floor, boxes...
For those that have added a SC ( roots or centrifugal ) how has the experience been on a Gen I?
I want to add a few ponies to the Viper, totally stock now to get up to approx 500 crank HP, stock is about 425 I believe.
Ripping the motor apart that is in good working condition, seems not the...
Final test...
Drove around for a few hours, 80 degree outside temps, a lot of traffic and running the A/C.
All went well, the SPAL could drop the temps no matter the conditions, to a point where it would cycle on and off. It never needed to run continuously.
I'll post up if any issues occur...
Test #3
Ok out for a longer ride today, still pretty cool outside at 67 degrees.
Fan controls heat very well and it is loud, but I have no muffs so the fan is not to noticeable.
I needed to bump up the trigger temp on the ROE, as the fan kept cooling the temps down the 1st mark on the center...
Yes the high temp trigger will shut off the low temp/low speed line is my understanding of the OEM circuitry.,
The ROE is a totally separate circuit from the Viper controller and because the ROE is reading a trigger temp set by me( 200 - 210 approx ) it will continue to energize the fan until...
Test #2
I drove the car in 70 degree outside temps for about 10 miles. I have the ROE fan control set to energize the low speed line at slightly above the 3 tick mark in the center of the gauge.
The fan is cooling very well so far, cycling on and off in traffic 2-3 minutes on then about 2-3...
Soooo...whats next?
Nope havent taken it for a drive yet, thats next and Ill post results and outside air temps.
I will also check the OEM fan relays for any signs of prior heat ( I have never looked at them before, not sure of their condition ).
Ill continue to watch the relays and...
