    Question on Mixing fuels

    Will they advance timing? No. Will they pull it in a big hurry? Yes. The Gen IV computers are very sensitive to anything even remotely resembling knock, and they'll adjust accordingly at the expense of power. I'd expect no less from the Gen V given they use the same engine (mostly).

    Catch can plumbing

    Question on the vented cap...does it allow air to flow both into and out of it? It needs to do both in this case. The typical vented cap like that will only let air out, not back in since it isn't filtered.

    Question on Mixing fuels

    It wouldn't matter if it was narrow (0-1V) or wide (0-5V)...either will operate on the same principle.

    Question on Mixing fuels

    There was no MAF sensor on the Gen I-III Vipers...there is on a Gen IV/V. O2 sensors are lambda sensors...in closed loop, they aim for a lambda of 1.0. Lambda is fuel agnostic...doesn't matter if it is E85 or good old 93 octane, it will get you to stoich either way - that's how flex fuel...

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    I wouldn't forget about it, but I would wait until after you pass the smog check to install it. A catch can is actually the first mod I did to my otherwise stock Viper...all it took was pulling the throttle bodies off to take a look around that convinced me it was needed.

    SRT Coupes: What is your stereo setup?

    Can you guys post up pics of your sub boxes? The one that came with mine is nice and heavy, but it doesn't have anything holding it in place, and takes up a lot of room back there. Just seeing if there are any other solutions that might work better...

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    Yep...I'm glad I don't have to worry about emissions, because I don't want that garbage flowing back through the intake. Given how quickly a catch can setup can be installed and taken back to stock, I'd just leave the factory stuff in place for the smog check, and put the catch can on for the...

    LED Replacement Lighting Thread

    If the HVAC is anything like it was on my Camaro, it might have a blue film on the overlay to make the filament bulbs appear white-ish, thus giving it the blue tint when an LED is put in there. I noticed it too on my HVAC bulbs, but didn't really feel like taking it apart to verify. I hardly...

    Does it have RCA outs on the back?

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    It wouldn't matter if it was hard to spot the can itself or not...the hoses leading to it and away from it would be a dead give away.

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    The issue is that the nasty stuff a catch can collects is meant to be burned off in the combustion cycle, not trapped and collected to later be dumped. But that's assuming the people running the checks knew how a PCV system was supposed to work, and what a catch can was. Or for that...

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    If they knew what they were looking at, yes you would need to remove it. Unless you can cough up a CARB certification for it.

    Catch can plumbing

    I'd think it'd still have a check valve in there somewhere...otherwise, it'd end up pulling too much vacuum at idle.

    Catch can plumbing

    The t-fitting vs. individual hoses shouldn't make a difference. Do you still have the PCV check valve in place? If I'm not mistaken, that needs to be removed when running it like you are. As for the non-vented can, you won't get 100% of the oil out of the crankcase vapors running it this...

    Catch can plumbing

    What type of can? If you are running a vented can with a breather filter on top, you can connect both valve covers to the catch can, and you'd plug both the vacuum source and the fresh air make up line that comes from the air box. If you are running a non-vented can, you will run one valve...

    red arrow shifting ?

    It raises it 100 RPMs from 6,400 to 6,500 RPMs.

    SRT Coupes: What is your stereo setup?

    The stuff I used is listed in my signature...the speakers came with the car when I bought it. They were being powered by a pair of small Treo amps...I ditched those in favor of the single Kenwood amp that fits under the passenger seat where the stock one used to reside (it's a tight fit). It...

    any one tried this lubricant for Gen IV transmission ?!

    Looking at the data sheet available online, it doesn't appear to meet the correct Chrysler ATF+4 spec, so I'd say that is a no-go (their ATF does meet the Chrysler spec, and is what I'm running in my TR-6060 at the moment).

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    Reading about it on here prompted me to look at the inner pads on both sides...seeing how much they were worn compared to the outers prompted me to change them.

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    The only person arguing here seems to be you...I fully understand why Viper aftermarket tuning offerings are slim and none, and I would also agree that very few Gen II/III owners want/need such a product. But they at least have that option, whereas Gen IV and V guys do not. That's the heart of...

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    What exactly is there to turn around here? What you stated is the basic reason why tuning doesn't exist for Gen IV (and now V) cars...there aren't enough of them to recoup the R&D costs associated with cracking the rolling encryption. Part of it is SRT's fault for making it so difficult to...

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    You are missing the point entirely...adding more HP from the factory while keeping the PCM locked/encrypted isn't going to scratch the itch that people are complaining about in this thread. It is the fact that you can't easily add more power (we're talking a supercharger or turbo(s) here, not...

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    I was at 11k miles when I replaced them last year...the pads still had some life left, but the inners were worn way more than the outers. I could have swapped inner/outer, but I just replaced all four. I should have just replaced the inners only. I did keep the old pads, so I'll just pack...
