    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    Anyone know if later gens had knock and BARO sensors? If you are going to add HP, do you plan to tune the car? If yes, figure out what's involved between Gen 2 and 5. Are you going to tune it or pay someone? There are different levels of tuning: Canned based on specs, Remote dyno, drop off...

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

    Thinking I should have changed the title to: Is there any reason to not remove a VEC1? According to Roe website info for Calibrator in 2001: OE tune at high load is excessively rich (11.0:1) with little timing (18*), low and midload, lean and lots of timing (45*) Cam: 224* @ .050, .550" @...

    Trim Screw 06035625 Junkyard Scavenging

    I was going thru a small box of Viper parts and I had evidently ordered 2 of these screws 20 years ago. That was the good news. The bad news I still need one. The panel is held with 5 so a missing screw isn't important to fasten the panel. Now needing just one, purchasing a new one for $20...

    Trim Screw 06035625 Junkyard Scavenging

    Auveco's site has a terrible search filter (if it even has one - I don't remember at this point.) Good filters are at McMaster and Digikey and I'm sure others. NAPA appears to have the precise fastener with loose washer, its just that the screw head is not a "flat top washer head" which I...

    Trim Screw 06035625 Junkyard Scavenging

    I looked for member "Brian Jones" (and all combinations) and couldn't find. What am I doing wrong?

    That pic is over $75 worth of screws.

    They are everywhere, but it would be nice to have a Reverse Lookup parts diagram. There should be a ton of them in the bone yards. Anyone find any easy pickin's? The screw is left 2 in this pic: It holds the dash trim panel under the column. It uses 4 or 5. It is a "Flat Top Washer Head"...

    nitrous

    Old thread but remember: Gen 2 (and probably Gen 1) does not have a knock sensor. (and uses KEY ON BARO instead of an actual BARO sensor.)

    VEC1 Full Grown: Split Second ARC2 (!)

    I wonder if anyone did a series of dyno pulls to plot A/F ratio and timing? SS offered the following voltage maps for their 4-knob uber MAP translator:

    96 GTS Fuses: Power Distribution, Fuse Block and Fuse Access: Where are they in car AND FSM?

    Is that the one on page 8W-47-7 of the 96 FSM? It has (20) 30a and (1) 25a fuses? ...4, there are 4 fuse blocks. (Spanish Inquisition Python) Actually No. There are only 3. Turns out the "FUSS ACCESS" panel is the FUSE BLOCK - I did find it but didn't see the relay and flasher end since...

    96 GTS Fuses: Power Distribution, Fuse Block and Fuse Access: Where are they in car AND FSM?

    POWER DISTRIBUTION: I know where that is - above the PCM with the big threaded power stud. FUSE BLOCK: Shown in FSM but have no idea where it's located in car FUSE ACCESS: I know where that is, it's access cover is printed in white letters on the under dash access panel on side of dash by...

    Disconnecting Battery - never occurred to me how "screwed up" that is...

    I think it's something like 13 different fasteners of 4 types requiring 4 different wrenches. I wonder what the FSM says for alternator removal ... "DISCONNECT NEGATIVE CABLE FROM BATTERY..." Now why didn't I think of that...

    High Performance Billet Spare Tire Cover

    LOL, I know, I was too eager to post pic. You'll notice the spacers are not bolted down. NX has a table for bracket spacing with "distance to" numbers and NO "from" or reference point. Am calling them now to clarify. (It's ironic because they allow a 10% variance in those distances and yet...

  16. Tom and Vipers

    Found fuel pump cover was removed on 96 GTS modded - theories?

    This was a 1999 TNT heads/cam/headers/exhaust and a 150 shot from a NX200 nitrous all done no later than 1999. What is the most likely reason to remove the cover?

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    I'll add my tidbit of info: Where to put the X or H pipe: Muffler should be at the very end of the system. Then spray paint or thermal paint on the pipes ahead of the mufflers. Drive the car, hard if you can, and you will find a hot spot where the paint is burned off - that is where you put...

    Crossovers are used to make more power.

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    They eliminated the crossover? Why in the world would they do that?

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    Yep, the welds on the resonators are not up to "manufactured kit" quality. Yep, I hadn't heard "Billy Boat" for decades and never with regard to Vipers (but I was Viper oblivious until 2000 - yes, I read everything in the magazines since 92 and went to see one at a dealership, but when in 2000...

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    The mandrel bends are perfect so I'm thinking it was a complete system but Wayne decided to mod the pipes. Those ends are evidence he was thinking about "end mods."

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    I was thinking it's not homemade, previous owner spent $40k on mods/upgrades, however it's possible he may have had the tips modded which brings into question the resonators. Also, some of the parts that came with the car included some fancy trick exhaust tips that may or may not be Viper parts...

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    I've looked at a bunch online and seems the Corsa is the one that has the resonators @ the tips. Is it 3 inch? Does it have an H or X pipe?

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    It's 3 inch. Back then what was available? Corsa, Borla, ... any others?

    Anyone know whatever happened to Wayne Skiles?

    It never occurred to me to check to see if I had his email. I did, but it's defunct - it was kingcoin... Never thought to ask him if he was living in FL like his area code.
