Viper's engine swapped B16A2 OHC - Now Turbo Charged!!

[faithless_1984]

hmmm well let me attach a few more pictures

@Alias - It looks like those cars have Pimples/Boils on the hood.

No offence meant.

Pic 664 will be more apt to avoid too much bending of piping under the wheel well. Actually it looks real good also. Maybe a similar slit for Bonnet also.

IMHO, the side vent will have to be moved from where it is proposed, to a higher up in the same area (closer to the A pillar) or somewhere in the front of the wheel well for technical reasons

Hey viper check your pm.
See if it that design makes sense otherwise side vents would be a good option.

Same thought here. I repeat, no offense meant, and the taste is pure personal. But if you ask me with these attached pictures, again I have the same opinion. OTOH the PS job on viper's car look more mean and looks like a vent, especially the vent on a side than centre, though I like vent at centre.

lets stop discussing the beauty of the scoops.
The vents which we are talking about are more functional than just for looks.
Design, position and size cant be decided based on looks. You need to consider something else.
1st think what purpose these are for
For getting more air to the air filter ?
For cooling the intercooler ?or
For circulation in the engine bay ?
..each one will be designed diferently and will look totally different..
Its funny to compare a vent/scoop used for cooling a top mounted intercooler to a scoop designed for sucking air for the intake or to one which is used for creating circulation only..
Also think of the position of the battery, air filter etc before comparing designs..
For example : Its like comparing the beauty/design of headers and discussing which header looks good 4-2-1 or 4-1 etc and not discussing the engine configuration or the purpose of the headers

i have heard that there is not point turbo-ing the vtec

since the power output remains same as when the vtec kicks in

can any body shed some light on it pl

hi

i was told that a turbo-ed vtec clocked around 15+sec on the sr

where as an NA vtec did around the same time

so incase of a qutermile run benig a tubro doesnt make any difference

That doesn't mean they have same capability.
Simply Turbo > NA , if the engine is not tuned well then thats a different story.Even a badly tuned or driven twin turboo can be slower than a smaller NA car, doesn't mean the twin turbo is of no use.

In simple words Vtec crossover and Turbo boost both depend on the Rpm of the engine and not on the speed of the car.
So during 1/4 mile if you reach that Rpm then definately both can be utilised.

Alias,
Just educate yourself on the site and then educate the guy who told you all this.

well i guess i am doing that aint i???

secondly sir i have also heard that its very difficult to turbo a vtec compared to a baleno or some other car in its league

is that correct

and one more thing that i would like to know is

is it better and easy to mod a baleno than a vtec???

No it's not. You can turbo a Vtec just the same.

i mean tunning it not exactly turbo-ing

[v1p3r]

Both ways, it's not much different. Vtecs, atleast Honda variable timing engines, have a whole range of possibilities as far as performance goes.

We're going off-topic now...
