Just a Question... i know it is stupid but i would like to know about it..

What is the FE of the car now? when u rip it and when u drive as a daily car like a proper drive without ripping it.?

Hi,

You will almost very rarely see me there as my place is actually near Cuffe Parade. Have only driven approx 100kms so far. Wait for me to return from lonavala to post any FE figures.

Viper bhai

Enjoyed reading the journey from Vtec to VIPER PERFORMANCE.. inspirational for armchair (read 'LOW budget') mod car owners like me

Wanted to ask you, how much would a set of bolt-on ones cost ? I read someone asking you the same question, but I guess I may have missed the reply.. And how much for the cost of install ? You did say though that it's pretty much a bolt-on operation, but still asking.. my ride's a Baleno, and I'm beginning to think along getting one. Not sure if I can it done in Delhi, but wanted an idea of the money involved, before even heading out in that direction.. thanks !

^^Im not sure if there are bolt-on rear disc brake kits for the Baleno.
But, if available,it should cost around 25-30k.Installation extra.

navpreet318 · 25th January 2008, 17:06

hey its very good to see you satisfied with the power.
good to hear that you've got no vibrations of the engine coming into the cabin.shows the quality of work done.

good,enjoy your ride.and i'll check with DC sports for some info.

You do get bolt-ons. The GTX hatch came with rear discs. You just have to source those and swap them.

Congrats Viper. Very well done and the exhuast job is to die for

Waiting for the dyno figures.

Congratulations Viper. Well done. I just came across a picture of every Honda owners wet dream:

XtremeG · 27th January 2008, 23:15

Hi Jignesh. I had PM'd you regarding the TYPE-R speedo cluster. Have you not received the PM? Call me if you are interested in the cluster.

@moralfibre. where is this dealer from??? i see a lot of half cut front clips too . so many B-series engines WOW!!!!

V-16 · 28th January 2008, 01:52

Holy Cow Kiran! I dont even have a Vtec but this is my wet dream too!!

My guess is Japan Thailand or Malaysia. (toh aur choda kya??)

Hi Chirayu,

Just saw your PM. Was out of town hence could not reply. Thanks for the offer may take you up on it if the cluster that I have does not work.

Will call you later in the day.

Hi Guys,

Just got back from Lonavala yesterday after taking my car on its first ever drive after the engine swap. Had a full load in the car with 3 adults and 3 children on board. Made a full tank of gas and headed on for the holiday.

The Swap:

Cant explain how well the swap has turned out. Only 2 things give away the fact that this is not a stock car The oooodles of torque and the sound of the engine. I had to run in the new clutch and so did not do any power launches or high rev gear shifts and was actually cruising. Very rarely did I cross 4k RPM. I could slot the car in 3rd form as low as 800/900 Rpm and effortlessly pull away far stronger than I could in my old engine in 2nd gear at 3k RPM. Engine has absolutely no vibrations, no kind of heating issues with the temp needle hovering just below the halfway mark. Currently running on water and regular oil.

Don't know about speeds reached as the speedo does not work in the original cluster but if someone here knows the gearing ratios was doing approx 3.5k - 4k in 5th gear on the expressway. Total trip would be approx 250-260kms(again cant be exact as odometer also does not work in old cluster) and the fuel tank shows somewhere between half and 3/4th mark so FE looks good.

The short shifter is definitely going to be thrown out today and replaced with the original shift rod as that was a bother.

To Sum it all up I have got what I always wanted a perfect car. a daily driver which is fast enough to make bigger engined cars eat dust with a excellent suspension package that makes the car feel tight at all speeds and the braking required to make it stop fast enough. The interior is as good as stock and comfortable enough as needed.

Things to do to make the ride a bit more perfect.

1> Add some more sound insulation on the flooring/firewall to isolate engine sound coming into the passenger compartment. The induction sound of the filter is a bit too loud for my liking.
2> Soften the exhaust a bit even if it means compromising on power.
3> Fit new instrument cluster
4> Change oil to Mobil 1 and add coolant
5> Replace short shifter with OE rod.

Whew thats a lot of writing. Am not much of a writer so If you you guys have any specific questions feel free to ask them. Will put up engine specs with details in a few days after I finalize what will finally go in. No pics/videos were taken.

akshay1234 · 28th January 2008, 07:48

nice report. your car does have loads of torque. its like diesel torque.

. i guess 3.5k rpm in 5th must have been around 120kmph? youll probably find out in a few days though.

VJ_MAVRICK · 28th January 2008, 08:22

Good one there Jignesh Bhai and i think your outing was a long awaited one for you and your family as well and am sure you would have simply loved the response of the new machine in your armory. i still drool over the headers that you have it in your present ride. Enjoy and drive safe
