    Wanted - DRB III

    I will be: I have a DRB with the full package: PEP module, million cables, OBDII breakout box, complete pressure transducer package, belt tensioning tool. I've got the Mitchell clamp-on current probe but not 100% sure I want to part with that since it is universal and works with any DMM...

    Who'll be 1st to put Falconer in Viper?

    Still? No Falconer Viper engine swap? I mean there is so much money out there and.... crickets? If I had the money and space this would have been done 22 years ago.

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    I don't understand how that can be: when deactivated, the cups are a solid spacer. The coil overs are lowered the amount of that space so the ride height is unchanged. Nothing changes in the suspension geometry?

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    Regarding the install, the most difficult part is routing the wiring, fusing, dash control, pump, plumbing. Where to put, where to drill holes where to get your 12v supply. If you don't have coil-overs, then $$$. -

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    UPDATE: (can't edit) VERA does not offer 110mm cups. Have to get from Stance. Same price as 120mm's.

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    Yes. With the suspension hanging, Aldan 3.5" OD coil overs, the clearance between the spring OD and shaft is a 21/64 drill bit or .328 inches. This would accommodate a zero clearance cup diameter of 3.5 + 2(.328) = 4.156" = 108mm The cups are 110mm - so it's 2mm OS on the diameter, or 1mm on...

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    Yes, someone has to write this up. This mod will transform Viper ownership (or any car w/low ground clearance) The biggest hurdle may be getting coilovers with 3.5" OD springs. My Aldans are that size.

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    First, you have to have coil overs with no more than a 3.5" OD spring - that means you can run the 110mm air cups. You will have to grind away a little bit of the upper inner control arm shaft (a few mm at most) - NOTE: this measure ment made with suspension hanging. I believe the clearance...

    My viper conundrum

    If your car has low miles and in exceptional condition - and you find yourself not driving it because you don't want to spoil that, you have the wrong car! You should sell it and buy one that has high miles, is not perfect/rough even/maybe even a R title, and drive it without a care in the...

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    UPDATE: Latest discovery & prelim measurements indicate 110mm OD cups are required which means they have to come from Stance. Vera does not have 110's.

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    UPDATE: there is not even a "finger's width" clearance between the coil OD and the upper inner control arm - need to get some cup dimensions.

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    The "tuner kids" are all into this, also Porsche guys. Saw one in the flesh, little import tuner car splitter was parked and almost laying on the ground. They showed me the 2-3" lift. Viper with splitters, especially ones that extend way forward are nightmare for hits. I'm getting my...

    Actually I've found a bunch of manufacturers. The term is "Air Cup Suspension" Here are some links: https://www.driftworks.com/row/stanceparts-air-cup-lift-kit-for-coilover-suspension.html#product-options https://d2racing.com/air-cups/?sort=priceasc&page=6 I think the front only w/o tank is...

    Hennessy GTS Fascia Splitter Option: need pic or dimensions (want to fabricate)

    Here are a couple pics. The fascia has a series of nut plates along the front edge. If the shape of the splitter is a "D", the straight aft edge would not be attached to anything - that's a long unsupported edge. OR the splitter is a curved, maybe 8" wide piece, like a curved strip that extends...

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    This was an all 4 corners kit. Great price. Can't find where I talked about it. It is used with straight spring coil-overs. I seem to recall their website was very detailed about how to determine the fit and what is required to make them work.

    Frame holes or frame damage?

    I got scared for a moment when I first saw them (never saw on a car before)

    Where to locate trickle charger

    The NOCO Genius 1 is a 1 amp 7-step smart chargers (6,7,8,9.... I don't know exactly but all the major pha) It's under $50 and finishes with a maintenance mode. The official Battery Minder is expensive and supposed to be uber good. I keep my GTS on a CTEK, I think it's a 4.3 amp unit - the...

    GTS w/Headers: LHS Collector O2 Sensor Wire Routing?

    I extended the wiring loom on the RHS to get a good routing but no good idea on the LHS. The O2 sensor is surrounded by frame and floor boards and the only up out of the "hole" is where the header tubes are. I'm sure others have faced this problem and I'm betting have found a solution - I...

    Roe VEC1 Technical Questions: 12v source revision, Key-On BARO, 12v Vampire Piercing Connectors

    UPDATE: FYI: The 12v VEC1 & Air Fuel LED Display piercing connector tap had failed and was "barely" intermittent (meaning mostly failed.) Also, the eary instructions identified the BK/OR RUN ignition switch wire which was corrected to the DB RUN+START wire. Mine was an early install so I...

    Aftermarket Proportioning Valve Install Question

    I remember seeing decades ago in Pegasus Racing Cat I believe, 2 driver adjustable proportioning valves: one was a continuously adjustable knob you turned and the other was a lever with detents at specific settings. The knob you'd have to "tune" while the lever would provide settings which...

    Roe VEC1 Technical Questions: 12v source revision, Key-On BARO, 12v Vampire Piercing Connectors

    Vampires have a better chance of working if there is some current - otherwise corrosion becomes a "contact resistance" which low current cannot burn thru. Soldering door wires where they break should be problematic since they broke where the bending stress was the greatest. The solder makes a...

    Roe VEC1 Technical Questions: 12v source revision, Key-On BARO, 12v Vampire Piercing Connectors

    12 volt source: It was an early 96 GTS install with the BK/OR wire as 12V source. BK/OR is 12v in the RUN position only. Roe's installation manual revised the BK/OR Run wire to the DB (Dark Blue) RUN & START wire. WHY? I can see issues with the RUN-START-RUN cycle which if BK/OR, energizes...

    Do I actually need a tune (or a VEC1)?: 96 GTS heads/cam 511 whp (but then there's 675 nitrous)

    Did you mean, "...that is why the factory calibrations run on the lean side." ? since rich shuts down cats? Yes, yes, yes: "...it just adds an unnecessary point of failure electrically." 25 years old and while MAP signals soldered, there are still vampire clamps present. Yep, MAP trick is...

    Do I actually need a tune (or a VEC1)?: 96 GTS heads/cam 511 whp (but then there's 675 nitrous)

    RE: Open Loop WOT: Please note my thought experiment here could be completely wrong: Cam and heads will make engine breath, VE goes up: With the positive displacement engine now pumping more air, MAP will go down (more manifold vacuum) because of the restriction of the intake system. More...
