1998 GTS
K&N's, smooth tubes, belanger headers, r/t cats, corsa cat-back.
Everyone tells me these cars run hot and it is normal. I believe these cars are not all running hot that is why I posted the question.
We also might benefit from hearing what others have done to keep their cars...
Just curious how hot your Viper is running at what temperature and location.
We average 96 degrees (high) @ 5000ft altitude in Albuquerque NM hit 225 on temp gauge.
I own a Silver 98 GTS but I want to paint my 1970 Bronco Viper Yellow.
Can you post your picture of your MJE and your PYR yellow paint (please list code w/pic) to help me decide.
Thank You!
What kind of HP increase can you get with a set of Mopar 1.7 RR ?
Will this upgrade maintain reliability?
Thanks in advance for helping the green guy :D .
Please fill in the blanks....
Stock 3:07 gears are best between "blank" gear through "blank" gear?
3:55 gears are best through "blank" through "blank" gear?
I am trying to understand the gear thing.
A supercharger is a faster upgrade which I will do down the road as long as reliability will not be jeopardized but I wanted to explore more options before I got to that level.
Based on my current mods, sounds like the rear gears (3.55) and a tune are a good next mod. Anybody know a Viper...
My current mods are:
K&N Cones
Smooth Tubes
Belanger Headers
R/T High Flo Cats
3" Corsa Cat-Back
:drive:
It seems to get harder and harder to keep up with all the new cars on the road with mods that can actually keep up with you or pull away. Most people see the Viper and can't believe they...
Don,
Thank you for your detailed explanation.
It's just too loud I want to tone it down without putting the stock set-up back on. I was hoping somebody already tried a catback and left the headers and RT Cats alone and got it a bit more quiet.
Thanks.
My current set-up (98 GTS/Stock) Belanger Headers, RT High Flo Cats, Corsa 3" Cat-Back.
I am just trying to get the Tractor sound down keeping the 3" set-up.
I don't want to loose the headers and RT Cats but can adjust at the cat-back level.
Thanks.
My only concern is at start-up (idle) with engine cold. This is when it sounds like Drag Car. I love the sound while running, it's just at idle it sounds loud with rpm's going up and down (which they are not).
I found a performance exhaust shop in town that has a great reputation with Viper...
My car is all stock except for the exhaust (Belanger Headers, R/T Hi-Flow Cats, 3" Corsa Cat-Back), I have the complete stock set-up (came with the car).
I was thinking if it fits putting back just the stock cat-back.
Or using a set of the Vortex Silencer Cones @ the exhaust end and if need...
Its just when I start it and the engine is cold :evilmad: it sounds like a Dragster. The sound just bounces down the street the houses are packed like sardines.
I have a stock 98 GTS with Balenger Headers, R/T Hi-Flow Cats and a 3" Corsa Cat-Back. This system is way too loud and my neighbors are hating :curse: I would like to know if I can but a cat-back (any kind even stock)to hush the system way down! since I would like to keep the Headers and...
The tech said it could also be caused by the fuel sitting in the car so long (only 1k in a year) and when he ran it and I ran it home I/he could not hear it anymore.
Maybe me adding fuel and its current running stopped it.
What do you think of the compression results?
Thank you for your help and response.
The ppi results came out very good, the compression test came back at 130-135 on all cylinders the tech said it was very good but I don't know what is normal for 23k miles.
No leaks and or items worn.
What do you guys think?
Thanks for the response , I really appreciate all the feedback I can get.
The tech mentioned that the pinging can also come from poor gas quality (only 91 OCT here) and current owner only drove car 1k miles in the last year.
A friend of mine who has owned a 96 GTS for several years told me...
:nana: Looking to buy a 98 GTS with 23K on the clock. I have heard that a compression test is a must do to possible overheating/block damage.
<u>My question's are:</u>
1)What items to check/request to Viper Tec?
2)Can a PPI also check frame damage?
3)Car runs strong but at higher...
