mods that can still be used with a twin turbo setup?

[Darth Menace]

Hey guys, not long ago I read the thread here about that company that does the TT viper setup for $13000'ish. I'm planning on doing that in the near future but want to feed my modding addiction until then. I was wondering what mods can I do now that can be used also with a TT setup? I am no pro, but all I can think of is catback systems. To the best of my knowledge TT setups even have their own headers. Are there any mods out there that I can do now that can still be useful with TT? It seems like a better way to not piss money away.

If you're dying to start modding, and know you're going TT in the future, start with strengthening weak links and adding safety items.
Quaife differential and upgraded half-shafts. You're definitely going to want both when you up the power with the TT kit.
On top of those, you can start with harnesses in the car, etc.

Oh yeah, on a Gen I or II, definitely look into brake upgrades.

If you are talking about the new RSI system coming out then it utilizes your stock exhaust manifolds. I don't think an exhaust is worth it, considering that most turbo systems come with their own custom exhaust as well. Somethings you might want to look at are:

- LSD
- Half Shafts
- Upgraded clutch (Twin or Triple Disc)
- Tires
- Brakes
- Stand Alone Engine Management (Although can be tuned from SCT)
- Motor/ Trans Mounts
- AB's Plug wires with heat sheilds

Could also do heads/ cam and add a wideband gauge prior to going TT.

Change thermostat
Change clutch

13ish hmm I guess its possible but after diff, axles, brakes tires and all other things it might be a tad more.

Ts just for the twin turbo setup. Correct me if I'm wrong

Lots of good advice above.... also Pin the crank. Get the ROE pin kit.

 

[Darth Menace]

Ya, I'm thinking to do the roe pin kit and new tranny/engine mounts, and a thermostat (I don't like how hot the viper runs) over the winter. I was meaning more performance mods, but it looks like there aren't many that properly line up with a tt setup. Also thinking of getting the intake honed (sorry if its not proper viper language)...

Nothing beats a driver mod, at racing school.

Just an FYI, you won't be ******* in the wind doing a TT setup, you'll be shooting a water cannon in a tornado. 13 K will barely get some of the mods these guys have listed for you. You'd be better off dropping 60 K, which is chump change on some other dudes 180K nightmare. Just say'n..............

Are 3.55 gears a happy mediu for NA and TT?

 

[hyph]

No stay 3.07

 

[Bandit400]

No stay 3.07

I agree staying with the 3.07 gears. No need to make traction a bigger issue.

I tried to find the rsi website, but I think the websites I found were not that rsi racing ones. Do you know what rsi stands for

 

[Darth Menace]

Nevermind...I found their website. It *****...their TT setup is 29000+. Somewhere on here I am sure I saw it was $13000

It is call will@rsi. System has not been formally released yet.

 

[Darth Menace]

It is call will@rsi. System has not been formally released yet.

Is that what you are getting? Or is will @rsi different than the rsi twin turbo systems I mentioned?
