    Viper Wizard Please Help :)

    the replacement sensor is the coolant temp sensor that goes on top of the drivers side head at the front the sensor you are looking at is going in the front cover and goes into an oil passage, but I'm not sure what it does exactly BTW why are you replacing it?

    Compound Boost/Twin turbo+Supercharger

    The Roe would restrict air flow up top and just be adding heat Down low it would be good, but the turbo could be adding too much backpressure So they may make a lot of power, but the efficiency would be atrocious since they would be fighting each other along the way I don't think there is a...

    yeah, I didn't notice you said crank I don't see a reason to remove/replace it unless it is missing teeth

    :D If anyone has anything to add to this, please let me know. I'll be finishing up a full writeup of this for the how-to section and I need to know of any changes/corrections I need to put in. So if you have a tip or change, I'd like to know before I finish it. Even any typos or grammatical...

    69. Carefully slide all the pistons out and lay them out for inspection. Make sure you label them if you are reusing them and be sure you get all the bearings off the crankshaft and back in their respective caps. 70. With all the pistons/rods out, you can remove the...

    66. Put the hub bolt back in the crank with a few thick washers under it to keep it from bottoming out the threads. You will use it to turn the crankshaft so you can get all the connecting rod nuts. Turn it so that rod nuts you are removing are top and centered like pictured...

    63. Move to the front of the motor. Back the hub bolt out a bit and attach a puller to the crankshaft balancer/damper. Remove the hub bolt, pulley, and balancer/damper. 64. Remove the front timing cover. From the pic you can see most of the nine bolts holding it on...

    60. Now to remove the cylinder heads. Again, follow the FSM for the sequence of loosening the bolts. I remove the small 7/16” bolts at the top first, then loosen the large ¾” bolts in the proper sequence. Put something down to catch all the residual coolant and oil in the heads, because...

    Project: Bullet-proof V-10

    56. The front hub bolt is notoriously difficult to loosen. It was tightened to 150ft/lbs and doused in loctite. I’ve noticed that a 1-1/4” socket fits on the bolt, but have been told 31mm (1.22”) is the correct size. Get a large ½” or even ¾” drive breaker bar and maybe a 3’ cheater bar...

    53. Before you put the engine on a stand, you will want to remove a few parts. First, remove the clutch. There are eight small flanged bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. Loosen them in a star pattern to release it evenly. The assembly is sitting on some alignment pins and...

    Water/Meth ?'s

    Water actually prevents detonation better than meth... and that's most important with cast pistons ;) But really there are even more scientific reasons I like a mix better than pure meth. Water also adds some oxygen (O2) and thus more air in the combustion chamber to compress, whereas meth...

    Water/Meth ?'s

    ...and if you get crazy like me, you can advance the timing to get max power on the w/m. You could probably see 640+rwhp out it with an edgy tune ;)

    Water/Meth ?'s

    Mike (99R/T10) is right on the money. You are running way too rich, even on the w/m. Get it tuned for 11.8 off the w/m so you know you are safe (I have been told by some unnamed viper tuners you can tune up to 12.2afr on forged pistons). Then have the w/m come on with that tune and see where...

    Stump the Chump

    Definitely remove the VEC from the equation. We were chasing an similar issue and swapped in another VEC and it fired right up. The VEC had just come back from Sean and was only used for less than 20mi. A very small looseness in the power wire took it out. These things are as easy to break as...

    Water/Meth ?'s

    You need a WB to see what your AFRs are running at. The MSD sheet you posted gave the % in the hazardous ingredients section. Yes, there is some argument about whether or not to use washer fluid. Most of the cheap blue washer fluids are just water, methanol, a drop of glycerin, and blue...

    Water/Meth ?'s

    Yep, that's the stuff. It has 50% by weight. Generally the blue is always going to work, but its best to check the label for this when purchasing. I wouldn't worry about the pump as much as the tune on the car. If you are tuned for w/m and its not working, you can do some damage from running...

    Gen 2 with Nx 150 shot - PLUGS ?

    This is from NOS: Spark Plugs and Nitrous Oxide: What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why Over the years there seems to have been a great amount of technical material written about the simple operation of a spark plug and what they can do in relation to the way an engine runs. There are a few basic...
