Very good point. Does anyone have any info relating to what kind of torque and HP our engine blocks can handle safely? Also how much cylinder pressure the block can handle?

I'm not sure exactly how much hp the viper block can handle, but steel sleeves are going to be required.. BMW twin T 335 has an all aluminum block with steel sleeves to put up against the increased cylinder pressures. =$$$
another thought is a lot of the newer turbos spool up quicker not sure about the setup for these trucks but i have seen turbos for trucks that spool up around 1500rpms instead of the 3,000rpms range which makes it a lot more practical in this kind of application but that is where i am still researching myself

You cannot make 25lbs of boost with a Roe............

Jack is correct...that blower is capable of making 25# (limits of the blower), but acually seeing it on the truck would be another story.

We are racing on Sunday. are you still game? It is at Byron..
Now on to the motor. I am in the midest of rebuild now. I saw bearing wear on #5 when I got mine apart. Nothing serious just an observation.
My .02 on a turbo truck is that it is a great driver. Mine is set to only build boost after 3200 rpm for 2 reasons ( I think ). One, driving around town is no problem because it is not building big power. Second at 3200 rpm the motor is somewhat ready to recieve the extra kick. A turbo does build heat though, no real way around it, you can soften it with wraps and coatings though. I have had many supercharged cars, both stock and aftermarket. Very nice power without the heat, but the whisle of the charger may be a little hard to handle. Hard to be a sleeper when you hear weeeeeeee from under the hood.

Would love to but will be in Denver doing the "Grand Paw" thing...my 5 yr old grand daugher has a soccor game she wants me to watch...that will be unique...where is the wicket, and who is the field goal kicker? Do soccor moms wear short skirts to the games? And do they wear underwear?

pick a tuner....
tell him what you want.....
let him decide.....
he has to tune it and make it work....you want him to be comfortable with the combination....after all you will be in this build $40,000+....
built shortblock $12k
power adder $10k
trans and 'verter $8k
rear end $4k
nos..?....slicks..?.rims..?..guages...?....LABOR...?...etc....$$$$$$$$$
Somebody tell me what Nowwhat said...I have him on ignore, again!

It costs money to play. More money than what I had expected but I have a "die hard", "brought up on racing" personality.
I've fallen off the bike, now it's time to get back on and go harder with a little more knowledge.
Although it will take some time, It's time for me to fully understand this truck mechanically and know the tricks of the trade because I will be keeping this monster for life.
If there is anywhere to go to learn about these trucks, I would have to say this forum is the place. I love it how our members share their knowledge and try to help each other in their time of need.:rock: :rock:
i thought his truck went b/c of the oil pump?Scrambler1 said:

The supercharger has a maximum of 18000 rpm. Based on this rpm and size of the supercharger combined with the displacement of our engines Roe says that the their supercharger is capable of making 19lbs of boost on paper. I'm not sure what formula they used but now I have a target range.

I just finished reading Bone's engine build thread with the Roe Supercharger. Very informative and would love to have Bone chime in on this thread.

Yes it did, but when it blew the second time they discovered more problems related to the torque.

OK a year has gone by and I know some members have done turbo's (like you) and could maybe add a little tech advise for the turbo build. That all for now.
its fairly a simple question brad
on send you engine off to a reputable builder with knowledge of viper motors, install rods, pistons, mains, put on a set of ported and polished heads or strikers. and there is you engine , doing it yourself is suicide.
then you will need a fuel system , a set of $1200 flowed 75# injectors, a controller of engine management, a new pump set up , preferably 3 in tank, a set of fuel rails, lines, regulator.
then a boost guage, one to control the boost.
then tranny upgrades since its going to be a daily driver.
then rear axle upgrades.
a ton of guages to keep an eye on everything.
then someone to do the piping, sorting out what size intercooler you will need.as well as blow off valves, and wastegates.
might as well thro in a little tweeking of the intake while your at it.
then plan on going thru clutches like water with a daiily driver, because they are touchy as hell.
and buy stock in rod and main bearings, since a 1000hp motor will need rebuilding at the very least every 20,000 miles
1000hp put strains on the engine like you have never seen, its not a good idea for a daily driver.
Jack has over $50k invested in his engine with all the exotic and one off, and best there is components available , but even with that said, he knows it want last forever under daily driving conditions.
