viper intake manifolds?

[scoobert]

anyone swapped our lump for the viper intakes? just curious.

 

[Brat]

They wont work.

 

[Begood]

Which Viper intakes are you referring to?

Bill.

 

[scoobert]

DOPE! forgot to mention gen 2.

 

[scoobert]

never mind. i see there is a massive difference.

 

[scoobert]

i do like the looks of it thou.

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

most def about a 55hp difference , really easy, jsut bolt an unbolt, and you can buy them for pennies these days, and if you go twin turbo, you will gain a good 200hp over the gen I intake,

but with your welding ability , run down to home depot get some aluminum extrusion and weld one together bro, Jack paid 5k for his, heck you could probably knock one out for $75

Wait a second...are we referring to the '08-'10 intake as "gen 2" here, and the '03-'06 as "gen 1"? I'm confused (in the rest of the Viper world, gen 1 means the '92-'96.5 RT/10, gen 2 '96-'02 GTS, gen 3 '03-'06 SRT, etc.)...

i think tony was having a bit of fun

 

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

but basically the gen II will fit our engines, and it has been rumoured that they will make a good bit more hp, but alot to chnge over, dual tb's and other stuff, so alot to go thru for an intake change

Sounds like a good excuse to drink beer in the shop

is that true? i was looking at the coil being on the back and i was thinking it might not work. it does look allot sicker with twin TB's thou.

I also wonder what all would be required to do this....

I also wonder what all would be required to do this....

Before I commissioned Hogan's Racing to build my manifold, I was looking into doing this myself. Got as far as having Todd at Arrow crating me up a mock-up engine to check fitment. Decided on the Hogan's just before it shipped.

My principle reason was the poor air distribution that Sean Roe found in the GenIII manifold, especially under boost (varied by a full point lean or more in the front 2-4 cylinders). Second of course was that no one else had one.

Anyway, aside from dealing with intake air plumbing (getting smooth runners to the TB's was going to be interesting, but not too important under boost), it was going to be just a matter of fabricating a new throttle bracket to attach to the GenII (with some intermediate linkage to the twin TB's), and relocating the coil packs. I honestly can't remember there being any other issues to deal with in doing a swap.

Not sure what all may be required but I would expect a cam change and various sensor/PCM tweaks would be needed due to airflow changes. And some fab work for throttle linkage, air intake placement/tuning, etc.

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

I think it would be bad ass.... Im gonna have to ask around and do some more research....

 

[FerrariTruck]

FYI, myself and cherry performance have discussed possibly designing a better

intake manifold. After seeing all the machinery at his site we could build

something to put the hogan to shame. So I'll see how things pan out, and im

gonna show him my sketches of the 3 manifolds i've drawn up inspired from the

BMW M5 V10. But its a hard deal guys, because really theres not much market

for designing anything for the truck from any kind of profit view

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

that and cost effectiveness will prolly be a b*tch

 

[ARRESTmeRed04]

so what would be the reason the gen 2 intake would make more power? i would think the longer runners would make more low end power but loose a little up top no?

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

It seems to me that with the loner runners in the middle you could do a direct port nitrous setup more easily... That and it would be different
