    850 HP on a Single Viper Fuel Pump - Installation Outline

    Fuel Pressure Regulator: The Gen 1 and 96-98/99 modules have a stainless bottom-fed, side outlet regulator that snaps into the module top. Pressurized fuel flows out of the fuel pump, up thru the regulator’s 6mm coaxial bottom inlet stem, toward the outlet line connector. Although I've not had...

    850 HP on a Single Viper Fuel Pump - Installation Outline

    Racetronix sells 190 (stock), 255 and 340 lph jet pumps (E85 compatible) and all the accessories you'll need to refresh, or upgrade your fuel module. You would need to swap the red/black wires in the lower stock pump plug and it's good to go. The new inner bucket filter required a notch in the...

    850 HP on a Single Viper Fuel Pump - Installation Outline

    This thread is a "Reference Work" with outstanding contributions from some true pioneers. I have referred to it many times, but found that there is a lack of photos to more completely describe how it all fits together and works. When you pull the carpet out of the rear and package shelf, you'll...

    Polished Aluminum Gauge Bezels

    I don't know if anyone has them now for sure, but you might find some universal rings that could fit. I would recommend against polished accents - maybe look for brushed, or satin finished due to glare considerations.

    How could a clean Gen3 viper sell for $38K?

    The first things you need to do are put new plugs and wires on the car and make sure your battery voltage is strong. Keep track of the plugs by cylinder and see if any are noticeably different than the others. Run a compression test on the car after it's warmed up and compare the readings with...

    Is there a fix for pushing oil with hard driving?

    I've been in dialog with a PhD ME on this. One simple improvement he suggested is getting full port area flow in/out of the engine on the makeup air side, so I split the valve cover vents back to my airbox instead of going thru the tee and into one port, which just about doubled the cross...

    Is there a fix for pushing oil with hard driving?

    They at least do the 10qt pan that I believe yours came with from the factory. You should have 3 ribs cast into the rear of the pan to confirm. IPSCO sells a trap door baffle kit for either the short or the deep pans. WELL worth the modest cost.

    Dodge 8.0 Differences?

    The water pumps share identical bolt patterns from G1 to iron truck, but the inlets/outlets differ somewhat. Drive pulleys are about 1/4" different in projection from the back fl_ange.

    Is there a fix for pushing oil with hard driving?

    This has plagued many a Gen 2 owner since 1996. It still vexes me to this day. I have tried many, many things to fix it lately and it is much better, but not done yet. I am actively engaged in SOLVING this issue. I can tell you that it is NOT coming from the valve covers, it is coming from...

    KW suspension on ‘93 GEN 1?

    It drives like a 90's car because it IS a 90's car. The OE Konis are single adjustable - but I don't know if that only affects the rebound side, or both bump and rebound at the same time. You have to remove the damper assemblies from the car, then remove the springs from the coilovers to make...

    2001 GEN2 GTS Trailing Rear Suspension Link

    That part is called a Toe Link -AKA Inner Tie Rod. Same P/N is used front and rear. I believe The Viper Store stocks them, but kinda pricey. They can also be had aftermarket from eBay at BestPartsOnline store for less. The inner boots can be reused, but they are a little tough to swap. There's a...

    FS: 1996 Viper GTS Hennessey 600

    Beautiful! If those are the original Magnecor wires, I bet they put on quite a light show in a dark garage. I know mine did when I changed them out 2 years ago.

    KW suspension on ‘93 GEN 1?

    Then it looks like '92s had different coil-overs than '93-95. Bushings are replaceable. My recollection is that the rear shocks are quite a bit longer than the fronts and have conventional lower eyes. The '96+ rear shocks are much shorter and lower bodies thread into a cast aluminum clevis that...

    KW suspension on ‘93 GEN 1?

    I don't believe there is any substantial difference in coil-overs between '92 and '95. The '96RT got the Gen2 frame and suspension.

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    Having just gone through something similar with my '96, I used the Service Manual AND the Powertrain Diagnostics Manual AND my DRB3 AND a multi-tester. The Diagnostics manual flowchart and DRB were invaluable. My issue turned out to be a bad lead in the cam sensor wiring on the front engine...

    Suspension bushings

    I would say a worst case of 20 hours for new bushings/ball joint boots, ballast/bushing torque and standard alignment. If the car hasn't been wrecked, there's no need to run a bump steer check, but that can take another day if required. They should do a ball joint condition assessment before...

    Corrugated smooth tubes

    You can buy "convoluted" hose with smooth inner liner and spiral support on the outside. Good luck with your search.

    Gen I radiator fan - replacement options

    I'd suggest that you refer to the thread I mentioned to confirm that they have the rack centered properly and the master pinion spline indexed as it should be. It's a lot of work to R&R and you don't want to have to do it twice. If you did not keep track of the shims under each side of the rack...

    Gen I radiator fan - replacement options

    You might want to check out the G1-2 rack rebuild thread at the Alley. Leaky steering is most likely your rack end seals.

    Gen 1 Dash refinishing with original soft touch feel and color!

    I owned a new '93 until I traded it for my '96 GTS. The foam texture on the Gen 1s will not be replicated by any automotive paint that I know of. 20 years ago, I investigated several ceramic insulation coatings for my fleet of trailers for hotmix asphalt delivery. I ended up using one of the...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 5

    Perhaps my post was a little confusing - the PS2 is the only current production Michelin tire that meets all Viper 17" Gen 1.5 and Gen 2 OE specs.

    Michelin Pilot Sport 5

    I put a lot of street and track miles on the OE MXX-3 Pilots. They were more grippy than slicks and R's of the day in cool weather and gave loads of notice before they let go. I've run the PS2s in the same conditions, but not to the mileage extent I did early in Viper life. I find them to be...

    Looking for 2002 Water pump

    There are at least 3 options out there. RyanLS, Havik and Mike 99RT&GTS. You will need to provide your unit for rebuilding or core exchange. They are pricey, but they have responded to the call.

    DRB III Reverse Engineering Project

    Good to hear from you! I use the CC alignment plates too! Production car tolerances on the ear stops are pretty crappy, but once you get your caster right at each corner, it's pretty easy to get the camber you want and hold caster.
