I've NEVER missed 3rd Jeff! Actually, come to think of it,Ive never blown a shift!!
LMAOI've NEVER missed 3rd Jeff! Actually, come to think of it,Ive never blown a shift!!
When you run 14's its hard to miss a shift
Oh, and I got your 3rd gear right here!I've NEVER missed 3rd...... come to think of it, Ive never blown a shift!!
Now, That's funny!

Your mean today Jerry!
. And I ran a 13 stock! LMAO. and theres lots of guys running 14's missing 3rd! :elefant: LMFAOJustin, quick question for you, On your website, I saw a cool air box for the filter and on the driver side, there was some type of tank( I'm assuming water-meth or something like that) Did you need to relocate anything in the stock engine compartment to put those there? Thanks!
Your mean today Jerry!
I think it is time to put that truck on a track!!......friday ,Castrol Raceway!! .....be there!!!:burnout::chain: :rock: I will be in the burnout box waitin'

I just sent you a PM
Hey everybody, I was out of the country when I started this thread and started kicking around the idea of making a twin turbo system for the Viper Trucks. I have been developing a turbo system for the 1996-2013 Vipers and want to make something that bolts onto the trucks as well. Where I have placed the turbos to fit the Vipers should also fit the trucks. I know I should be a vendor on here to post something for sale, but I was hoping to gauge the interest among truck owners before I pull the trigger on becoming a vendor.
My plan would be to try to see if there was a group of guys interested in an easy 700-800 RWHP twin turbo option that is designed to fit a pair of T-4 turbos with .81 to 1.52 AR exhaust housings and a compressor wheel range from 52mm to 71mm(Can be billet as well).
The manifolds will be cast and come machined ready to bolt on and ceramic coated. The turbo manifolds and the piping to the turbo(up pipes) and all assorted wastegate plumbing are usually where all the fabrication time and materials come into play to make turbos expensive.
The utilization of cast manifolds and the simplicity of the layout of this system makes this setup ideal to be produced in high volume and competitive prices.
That is not to say this is a "Budget" system because it is a variation and combination of a couple of different turbo systems I have designed, prototyped, fabricated and installed in the past that have made between 625 RWHP to 1585 RWHP. The turbos that are available for this system will comfortably make 1400 RWHP with the wick turned up and 600-800 RWHP on pump gas on low boost.... with low back pressure which, as all of you know makes any tune safer given any engine build combination.
So, to proceed, I need to:
1.Find out about vendor status
2. If I can get about 15-20 people to pull the trigger on a system, I can offer the entire system with manifolds, turbos, up pipes, downpipes, wastegates, intercooler and BOV in the 10K neighborhood.(This is the entire turbo system minus fuel and computer).
3. I need to see a local SRT/Ram Viper truck and I can show the person my manifold and turbo placement. The only thing different from the Viper system will be the downpipes and the piping to the intercooler.
I would like to thank everybody here in advance for all the comments so far.
I can answer any and all questions people may have about this setup!
Thanks, Paolo Castellano
P.S. I will also be able to provide pictures of other turbo systems I have designed if it is ok with the mods.

I'm into my rebuild for about $15,000 after I spun a rod bearing and took out the crank. It's still a better deal than Chrysler wanting $15,000 for a short block and now I have a cam and forged motor. These motors are very costly to work on and nothing is cheap.

Turbo setups are always cool. But I for one will not pay to have someone install it for me so a DIY option would be awesome
i dont think he is talking installed i think he is talking just parts to do it.
How bout some pictures of work you've done, honestly none of us know who you are or what you've done so asking for people to line up for a 10k turbo kit seems a little crazy to me.:dontknow:

15-20 guys? Good luck!

Hey, how is your rebuild going? I have seen a bit here and there on the Viper forum....
Why not just get a short block from Paul Scharf in Eagle River, Wi, drop it in and be done?
I would go that route. I can call them for you on Monday and see what they say. You can also call them @ 800-338-4002. I think I mentioned Paul when you were looking for a crank...
You can sell your old short block or keep it for parts if you buy another one.
If the mods here would let me, I would do it in a heartbeat. I just do not want to step on anybody's toes, that's all.
Justin from JMB has seen one of my systems on a Gen 2 Viper back in the day at Joe Donovan's(PBJ's) shop. I think he was also around when it made 1300+ RWHP on Donovan's dyno....
Hey, I figure there are at least that many guys out there that have gone the supercharger route and are maxed out for either what the supercharger can flow or what their stock motor can hold since the supercharger takes about 100-150 RWHP to spin depending on the boost level being run.
So if someone can make 100 more RWHP(peak number) over a blower and have all the extra area under the curve that twin turbos afford, it is really like having 200 more RWHP than the blower setup. I know this from personal experience from when I had a supercharger making almost 900 RWHP with a built motor and then bolting on a pair of turbos like what can be fitted on this system I am offering and making similar mile acceleration times and MPH on almost 1/2 the boost and waay richer on the AF....
My built motored ported heads supercharged Viper went 0-200 MPH in 1 mile in 28 seconds on a 30 degree night around X-mas on 13 PSI and about 12.5:1 AF with a split second.
I did a TT Viper on a stock motor, stock heads on 7 PSI @ 10.0:1 AF on a 70 degree night in 28.5 seconds @ 197 MPH with AEM.
Considering the airflow difference between stock heads and ported heads, I think saying 1/2 the boost especially considering the super richness of the TT car, this says it all that a slightly less than 700 RWHP Viper was as fast and quick as a supercharged Viper making about 200 RWHP more.
So based on this and the fact that the system is capable of making 1400+ RWHP, I would expect there would be at least 15-20 guys who would be interested in such a setup especially considering the TT on the stock motor will give the performance of a blower packasge of about 200 more RWHP.
I threw out the 15-20 number so I could get the cost down and offer a fantastic price for such a well packaged system that will look like a million bucks on your trucks because you will be able to see the turbos and wastegates. This system will have it all, OEM style super compact packaging, affordability, scaleability, reliability(like all the other TT systems I have built for the Viper so far), ease of installation, Gravity oil drain on the turbos, nice sized air filters, etc......
If there are not as many, I will have to see what I can do on the pricing for lower volume.
Is there anybody in the western suburbs that can swing by and see the setup and show me their SRT-10 truck?
Thanks!
