More stuff I probably don’t need to be dealing with.

Jeff, I’m going to be doing a lot of modification on my rear end and turbo kit. I’m going to tack it all in place, but get ready for some welding :wink:

2000 Viper Diff, 3.08 gears.

i just may have to come and check it out. let me know if you need a hand with anything.

How does one go and buy a Viper rear diff… I mean sourcing like a Ford 8.8 I can see but a viper? what in bloody hell.

Well I saw it on a forum, was relatively cheap, so I figured why not. Now I can have a dodge rear end, chevy engine, ford paint. :rofl:

hahaha there goes brand loyalty. I guess you have the best of all the auto manufacturers.

Bunch of random pics i snapped.

lookin good man

I would contact Nate Silveri if you’re looking for a really good tuner.

Please delete the other non-forum sponsoring posts from this thread if youre going to delete my recommendation. I don’t work for the place but apparently you can’t even suggest crap anymore.

looks good. something i found out when doing truck manifold setups is to put flex pipe in there. that pipe will still move a bit and may crack.

Looks good, I like the grille in there.

Check out this pic for example on those flex pipes.

Kick ass, subscribing

becareful with flexs. ive seen the inside of a flex turn inside out and clog up. thus restricting the turbo.

little late for this but i think its C5 manifolds flipped foward would allow you to run your hotside downlow.

nice progress!

Thing is lookin good cant wait to see the finished product

I’ve actually debated on the flex pipe. Have advantages and disadvantages. I ended up going with the thicker .065 walled tube instead of the .049 to avoid cracking.

Quik, I want to run the hotside up high. With the subframe there’s not much room to run the downpipe if the manifolds go low.

Depends on the type of flex pipe i guess, some are made different than others. get a good quality one and it should be ok. Although its best to not have one before the turbo anyway, sometimes its needed

makes good sense then. I didnt run a flex on my crossover on silverado’s setup and didnt have any issues with cracking. i however would make a turbo support, that tubing isnt strong enough to hold the turbo alone with abuse.

and idea is since your ls2 has a 90mm tb already run 4" to the tb, since you have a 4" diameter TB its best to keep same size tubing to it. it will also help in a cooler charge. i go from a 3" outlet on the IC and use a 4-3 reducer. i have never seen anything higher then 20* above ambiet with this setup and no meth

Have someone put an adapter on the IC to make it 4". I dont know how good going 3 to 4 will do, that little restriction point should be eliminated if all possible.
