    Twin-Turbo guys with Scavenge Pump Systems... IN HERE...

    Dan, the last time I checked, this thread was trying to build a better mousetrap for the design limitation of the foot well TT systems whose turbos are mounted too low relative to the oil level in the pan...... There are many ways to skin the cat: The basic options are as follows: 1...

    Twin-Turbo guys with Scavenge Pump Systems... IN HERE...

    Haha, now that's funny! I think there might be a better idea than building a better scavenge pump............ Maybe building a gravity drain turbo system that does NOT NEED A SCAVENGE PUMP????? Hmmmmm;) Dan, I just could not resist! I am sure there is a need for a better scavenge pump setup...

    How do I advertise on here?

    I have gone to the contact section and inquired about advertising a couple of times and have not heard a word. Am I going to the right place? Thanks!

    Need some help

    Thanks for the pic! I just need a little wider angle so I can see all the way to the furthest part between the front cover and the PS rack on the passenger side.

    Need some help

    Hello all! I need somebody to take a picture of a Gen 4 passenger side front cover to the power steering rack clearance for me with all the accessories on a running car. The engine is out being built. I am going a different route on something than I originally intended otherwise I would have...

    Factory supercharged V-10 in development?

    Barry great posts! I have a Gen 4 for which I am building a Twin Turbo system that would easily fit on the Gen 5! My proprietary cast manifold, gravity oil drain, 3 or less feet of piping from turbo to intercooler, 200 degrees of total bends turbo to throttle bodies..... Rear mount would work...

    Factory supercharged V-10 in development?

    Bob, great post! An open code controller for the Gen V would be fantastic! While I agree the centrifugal would be easier to fit than an eaton style supercharger, the blower with airbox and liquid to air intercooler will definitely block the airflow through the radiator making it very...

    Twin turbo life expectancy

    Jon, no agenda here. I love Vipers and have commented about the relative strengths of each platform and what I like about each one. You saying a Gallardo has the advantage of being a Lambo may be an accurate assessment for all the fan boize and kids reading magazines out there. My earlier...

    Twin turbo life expectancy

    I was not aware there was a DLM TTG in Chicago. What does it run in the 1/4?

    Twin turbo life expectancy

    Jon, if you were talking about a Pagani Zonda, Ferrari Enzo, F-40,F-50, Koenigsegg, Ford GT.................... I would have to agree. Aside from sounding cool, the Gallardo IMO looks like a silly Green, Orange wedge/doorstop. I was at a TX mile event watching all kinds of "Exotic" TT Gallardos...

    Twin turbo life expectancy

    Roy, that was on a stock cast piston motor on 93 pump and water-**** that went 20+K miles and trapped 153 in the 1/4 mile, not a built motor..... A bone stock 2000 RT/10! You are correct, the high powered Lambos that are making 1400-1500+ to the wheels are only trapping low to mid 160's in the...

    Twin turbo life expectancy

    You may be correct for an all out TT Gallardo build(120-150K just for the turbo build) on race gas. But pump gas for pump gas, the Viper will destroy the Gallardo. Once the new wave of TT Vipers with better turbo systems and better engine management come out, the Viper will enjoy a healthier...
