    Got me a windows based tablet for the VEC

    Picked up an Acer Iconia W500 tablet running win 7 home and love it! Basically wanted it for street tuning the VEC, and it works perfectly. It comes with a keyboard docking station that is handy for reviewing logs and such after. Has a dual core processor and 2 gigs of ram. Couple this...

    Painted my valve covers and intake.

    Removed my intake and stripped it down. Removed valve covers and stripped. Trusty paint stripper. Coat the valve cover liberally and let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes. Start scraping. Work smart, not hard. If any powder coat is still stuck to the covers...

    1996 Engine same as 92-95?

    I've been looking but can't seem to get a straight answer on the 1996 engine. I have a 95, and found a smoking deal on a 96 motor, and want to pick it up for a spare if the essentials are the same. (20psi, here I come!) Any help would be appreciated!

    Twin Turbo power falling off at 4800 RPM

    Car is a 1995 Viper, completely stock motor with MLS head gaskets. Fuel management is a VEC 3, T4 turbos(1.05 A/R turbine), 4" exhaust no mufflers or cats, 60mm gates vented to atmosphere, NGK plugs, AB's wires. The car pulls like crazy to 4800, then power drops right off, and if I try to...

    New Iphone 4S VS GoPro

    I picked up the new Iphone 4S today boasting a 1080P HD camcorder. (along with some other neat improvements) I took some video with it, I personally thinks it looks as good as any of the GoPro footage I've seen. I'm sure I wouldn't want to strap it to the outside of the car though. I just had...

    Paint my top yellow, or leave it black. Opinions wanted.

    I've got the gen 2 doors on my 95 now, and I had to modify my top to make the windows work. I will have to paint the top anyway, so should I make it yellow or leave it black. I'm really leaning towards leaving it black. My car: Gen 2 with yellow top:

    Gen 2 doors on a Gen 1.. Yes you can!

    So I love that my 95 doesn't have windows, but at the same time, I hate "clip in" windows. There is zero info out there about bolting gen 2 doors to a gen 1, so I figured I'd do the fact finding for anyone wanting to do the swap. Today I bolted up the passengers door with no problem. Door...

    Hydraulic ebrake option for big brage upgrade?

    Has anyone installed or considered using a hydraulic emergency brake instead of the separate cable operated caliper? I like the look of a single caliper in the rear as opposed to two.

    Who can flash Gen 1 PCM's?

    I'm curious who, if anyone, can flash Gen 1 PCM's. It would be nice if they offered something like the Gen 2 SCT, but I don't think that is the case. (I already have a VEC3 and a TT system installed/running) Thanks for any info,

    New 10 spokes on my Gen1 Nitto NT05

    Finally got my rear tires after a 3.5 week wait. (slack ebay seller) I bought the rims back in the spring, but just purchased the tires now. A few shots from today, still need some center caps. Here are a couple high res shots. Car is working well still, haven't turned the...

    Anyone have a set of 18/19" tires for sale?

    Was looking at the Nitto NT05's for my new 10 spoke rims, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone has a good used set laying around. Not looking for old or worn out tires. Looking for sticky tires so I can up the boost some more. Let me know what you have. Thanks,

    Neat Viper and matching bike at local car show

    Sorry for the big pics. Nice people. Didn't bother to take any of my car, as I was too busy watching the dyno. Saw a nice eclipse put 563whp down. Later,

    Open element Intake Air Tempurature sensor (IAT)

    I know I've seen reference to an open element IAT sensor to use with my VEC 3 in place of the factory unit, but I can't seem to find the thread. They say that the factory sensor is slow to respond to sudden changes, which in a boosted app, can be quick and drastic. Any info would be...

    The side feed injector thread.

    I'd like to get a thread together with information on side feed injectors, stock and larger replacements. Trying to avoid top feed injector swap info here, but if it is relevant, go for it. So, the stock fuel system runs at 55psi. The fuel pressure is regulated in the tank, which means this...

    Built some solid motor mounts.

    Well, I started hanging the turbo on the pass side and decided the tolerances were so close that I should mount the motor solid. I've heard rumblings of solid mounts causing the block to distort, but haven't seen any documented issues. So if you're anal, use polyurethane mounts instead...

    Anyone familiar with VEC wiring?

    Installing a used VEC 3 in my GEN 1 and have had a few discrepancies with the instructions vs my my vec wiring harness. Luckily I caught them before I got too far, but I'm wondering if someone could help me with a few questions. I will contact Sean Roe if I have to, but I thought I would...

    My VEC 3 install in my Gen 1

    I started to to install my VEC today and decided to take some pictures. I remember searching high and low for an install thread when I was researching the VEC and never finding one. The VEC is usually mounted in the engine bay, but it isn't weather tight, so I decided to mount it in the...

    My DIY car skates. (wheel dollies)

    Having a 28 x 20 garage and a need to fit 3 cars in it during the winter months prompted me to devise a solution to my problem. You can buy regular wheel dollies that your tires sit in so you can spin the car around in the garage, but I wanted to go one step further and build something that...

    Need VEC 3 installation instructions for Gen 1

    Hey guys, does anyone have a digital copy of the VEC 3 installation instructions for a gen 1? Is there a reason they aren't available right from Roe's site? I really don't want to bother him with a request for the instructions, and I hear he is backlogged to begin with. Also, does anyone...

    Before and after vids of my DIY exhaust.

    Alright, I built a pretty cheap exhaust using some 3" stainless, 2 stainless straight through magnaflows, and no cats. The car is super loud now and has a brutal drone around 1500rpm, but I have gotten used to it and have learned to drive at different RPM's to minimize the noise while cruising...

    Anyone got a Vec 2/3 for a gen 1 laying around?

    Just curious if anyone has a VEC 2 or 3 laying around that they wanted to get rid of? It's for a 95 RT/10. Let me know what you have for accessories (cards, software, programmer, etc) and a price. Thanks! __________________ Andrew MacPherson My turbo projects 1995 RT/10 1990 300zx...
