    I'm gonna puke:(

    Just FYI, On my last build (a built Infiniti G35 coupe twin turbo) had the crank bolt "walk" out due to the stock balancer breaking apart. Bolt wondered around a touch and messed up the threads. We re-tapped the hole and put a bigger crank bolt from another motor (don't remember off top of my...

    Engine Rebuild in Chicago

    Contact Westech in silver Lake WI. They probably did most of the R&D on these motors to begin with anyway.

    Return vs. Returnless Fuel System Pro's and Cons

    Could always add a cooler on the return..... When you get into multiple pumps or higher pressure you almost have to have a return style.. Think of it this way, you are in a boosted car, 2-3pumps are running to keep the pressure at 65psi (or whatever) for the 150lbs injectors and 30psi of boost...

    Can someone explain the viper gts cams to me??

    Remember its not that they aren't forged pistons in 00-02 (they are a form of forged piston, they are the hypereutectic sp? piston....fyi, Stock MK4 supra's have hypereutectic pistons and they can make about 1000whp with only 6).. The bigger issue is the ring land gap between the top ring and...

    how much for a clutch??

    Dealer books clutch at like 9 hours (at least on Gen1/2's).... If you have a 3-3.5ft extension for you socket set (impact tools I hope) you can have the trans down in about an hour. Tom

    Gen III & IV Values Once 2013 is out?

    Thankfully the market these cars are in, always draws a large number of "I need to have the new one" type of folks.... That being said, they will ditch their Gen3-Gen4's for the Gen5 regardless of performance (and we will be told that due to traction control it is "safer"). This will drive down...

    gen 2 stock intake design question....

    Lee, Vaguely remember them being completely seperate runners (as you described). Someone had a pic way back when of a intake mani cut right down the middle. Quick test would be to block one end of runners, fill those runner with a fluid through their throttle body, and see if it goes into...

    Gen 4 tuning... Coming soon

    Good point. In most cases (I'd assume Gen IV's as well) this is still a "piggy back" system. That is due to EVERYTHING being run of factory ECU (i.e. HVAC, Window motors, door locks, dash, radio, lights, etc). So the factory ecu runs all that jazz while the aftermarket handles the important...

    Gen 4 tuning... Coming soon

    Can you hardwire it in at least? Plug and play means they have a harness built. If they have a tune to at least start from thats half the battle. Can wire it in without too muh trouble (still a PITA I know). As I mentioned on other thread, I loved the pro-efi in my infiniti. I didn't even have...

    Any one using a Pro EFI cpu?

    Ran a pro-efi 48 on a built infiniti G35 coupe TT (650rwhp on 93 octane, 800+rwhp on 110leaded...never used good gas). Car drove like stock, started like stock, no hickups. Doesn't hurt that I'm 20min from Sound Performance who helped develop/test it. Not apples to apples I know, but it was a...

    Pre 2000 Vipers, You are now FLAKIES in my book!

    They are not CAST pistons...They are Hypereutectic (sp?). for reference, SUPRA's run hypereutectic pistons stock and they can make about 1000rwhp on them. the problem is the amount of space between the top of the piston and the rings........It is too short a distance on the creampuffs for high...

    Has anyone installed 2003+ Intake on Gen II Motor

    looked into this, you need a hood about 4 inches taller to make it fit. I believe svs is using a custom fabbed intake.

    What is the top speed of our Vipers?

    They f'd up that motor pretty bad. Trying to get some money out of them but we all know how that goes........ I was in PC's supercharged car at 200+ and it was still pulling HARD. This was the setup that did the 194mph (i think it was 194) in the mile.

    Looks like the "As seen on TV" Tornado intake is paying off. :) Great job.

    Anti-seize on spark plugs??

    I believe its snapon who has a digital one, will do in-lbs and ft-lbs (not sure the upper rating, probably 150lb-ft). But it clicks, beeps, and vibrates.

    What is your 1/4 mile time???

    Pretty sure they are refering to racing bikes from a roll.

    Drag Racing Night..

    Seems like you might have a 3.55 gear. Definately pull harder at the start than the GTS.

    1st time at the track with my 1999 Roe S/C Viper GTS

    Deffinately look into the TT's man, saw a pump gas TT viper going 130's with non-drag racer's behind the wheel. And only on 4-5lbs of boost.

    Heffner Twin Turbo..how much?

    ITs not that the pistons are weak. Contrary to pipular belief people think Hyper-eautectic sp? are inferior. Well the Supra boys with the stock bottom ends making 800-1000rwhp all run hyper-utectic pistons. The problem on the creampuffs is how high the rings are on the piston. The rings are...

    Ohio VCA post $500 for low ET at V10 Nats Aug 6!!

    Paul's car FLY's out of the hole. It pretty impressive to watch for a almost stock car. Years of practice. This even should be fun, I went out to this basic event with TOOFST a couple years ago. The Ohio VCA takes care of their guests and members. It was a good time (if you can find a viper mag...

    advice on hp upgrade

    Yeah that car is really strong, and the guy is like mario andretti behind the wheel. he went 11.7's on pilot sports with 455rwhp and 505rwtq, no telling what he could do now with the 484rwhp and 543 rwtq and the Khumos (those things stick like glue).......... 600 tq from your car is still nuts...

    advice on hp upgrade

    I know HOLD TYT in his 98GTS with just Belanger Headers, no cats, borla mufflers, smooth tubes and filters and VEC 2 got 484rwhp and 543 rwtq on 93oct. So your numbers seem spot on (TB, RR, flywheel would easily give 25 or so rwhp, no idea what kind of tq it'd pick up but hp seems good) Tom

    Stage 1 Numbers, Many Thanks

    The Gtech gives you your instantaneous MPH at the end of the 1/4, at the track you are getting an average mph over the last 60 feet. 124-125 sounds good.
