Tko motorsports viper gt3r street car track car build

[TKO MOTORSPORTS TEAM]

Few pics one of our builds. Viper GT3R. The pics are of day 10 i think. I will see if i can find some pics of actual day one if people want to see all the real progression from start t finish.40315

[Gen5snake]

Eye candy! Thanks for sharing.

[chris_lee]

Wow! The hood looks crazy good. Keep those pics coming!

[Old School]

That there is what you call a "serious effort".

[Arizona Vipers]

Sick! So is the frame scratch built? What is "stock" on the car?

[Viperpowered]

Street car/track car? As soon as I hit the lotto I'll buy a dozen. Awesome car!!!!

[Murpowa]

Awesome build. Please keep us updated!

[Fulltilt]

Best thing I have seen in a while. I wanna know how much the body costs..........................................but it doesn't matter, lol.

[Exhlr8n]

Drop dead gorgeous...Have you guys decided on Eng/tranny combo yet?

[Scott_in_fl]

Holy Shiite!!! That is nuts.

Does it take that much fab work just to fit the body, or is the custom framework for other purposes (i.e. better geometry, ease of maintenance/repair, lighter weight)?

[ACR-ISH]

I already asked! Marty disclosed... "It's not cheap, but it's REAL NICE."

[Arizona Vipers]

There's a guy here in Arizona with a Comp Coupe that has that body on it

Yep that's it. Sequential etc too. I believe the car is for sale

[cashcorn]

Badass.. Luv the flames!!

[Pappy]

Absolutely awesome! What's the target weight?

Pappy

[Snakebit10]

Oh my....Just Beautiful. Cant wait to see this all done. Will the interior be racecar spartan or will it have a livable interior? Mind you I dont mean plush. Just a finished interior with lightweight panel covers etc?

If its going to be a covered interior then this will be the way the ACR should have come from the factory in many of our eyes. I remember when we first saw the GT3 R body. Many thought the ACR should have that body over the street car chassis. Sounds like you are doing something to that effect....

Of course my question is towards the build that kept the Vipers passenger chassis part.

[ViperNC]

Love it. Any chance that grill is a separate carbon piece? If so, I want one for my Gen V to replace the crappy molded plastic!

[13COBRA]

That is gorgeous.

[ACR-ISH]

That is gorgeous.

Kinda makes me want my mommy... wow!

[Dustin]

Amazing, End goals here

I think those are different body panels. TKO's car is using the GT3-R body panels from Riley. The car pictured is using the same company McCann used on their G5R. Can't remember the name.

VERY cool! What will one of these builds cost?

[serpent]

Engine either 9.0 liter 850Hp N/A or 9.0 Liter 750HP N/A. Running on our EFI technologies.
Trans we are using one of our holinger RD6 sequential gear box conversion kits. Paddle shift. absolutely bomb proof trans easily hold 1000HP 800 ftlb and very low maintenance.
Who is building the motor? dang this is going to be epic.
Hope you guys bring it to sonoma since you're rather.. ahem.. close by.

LOL

Yeah I just posted it for Arizona's reference.

[ACR-ISH]

we have a few Arrow/Prefix motors laying around so they will be first motors in car.

Only a few huh...? It's bad to let them sit, you know Marty? If you need my Gen5 to babysit one in it's engine bay, lemme know!

[13COBRA]

I want those sideskirts for my car.

[ACR-ISH]

You know ACR-ISH 9.0 liter builds with reliable 750-800HP are not as exotic and far out of reach as you think.

I've heard for overall reliability the 9.0 sacrifices that to "some". Degree. All statements have varying degrees of opinions. 750-800whp...? Tell me more about this thing I think I now need as soon as possible!

With proper tuning it should fly through CA emissions, too? I would imagine it can run all OEM sensors in closed loop and be okay? Obviously it's not "technically CA legal" but my smog guy just wants it to plug in and pass.

Ya dig?

Very strong and reliable setup. I love mine.

I ran my prefix 9.0 730whp motor for over a year hard on the track, no issues. Just got it back with over 800whp, dying to get it back out on the track, not until November 16th. Did you hear of some blown up 9.0's?

[ACR-ISH]

Reliability is good 9.0L N/A is pretty basic. The trick is oiling and tune no matter stock motor, 9.0L N/A or some big twin turbo setup. If you road race the factory oil pan is the weak point for sure. Adding the extra qt of oil trick helps but its not the best fix. We have 2 fixes for the oil pan problem dry sump system or our racing oil pan coming out this next year. Reliable tune is also very important. Road race you dont need max HP you need endurance and reliability. Cali emissions usually no problem. Visual easy pass. We are now working with a motor builder we have faith in. When your ready pm me.

Let's see how I navigate Sonoma with 640HP before I go trying to make an additional 200WHP!

[Scott_in_fl]

^^^ Yeah, I can't imagine reliability being an issue for the 9L. We're talking about a large 10 cylinder engine that any of the good engine builders will tell you has no issue handling quite a bit more power than what a 9L puts out. And these are the guys beating on them at 1/2 mile and 1 mile events. Only issue has been oiling. Accusump should ease all concern.

[Pappy]

Speaking of street legal, will you have any trouble with the state of CA with the Earnhardt bar obstructing forward vision?

Pappy

[Scott_in_fl]

^^^ Definitely paint it black to conceal its presence at the very least.

[Scot@Prefix]

We had a brand new 9.0L 850HP melt the top end at the vegas viper meeting. We were just shaking down the car with our shocks,suspension and aero package on it. We lapped the field on just about every session. Motor made great power and very usable. Last session of the day driver said car felt sluggish loss of power shut down and rolled in. All temps and pressure good no warnings. Pulled motor rebuilt and and ECU corrected by motor builder. Been running great ever since.

Thats interesting since you told us the temps were high with water in the 270 plus range, and the driver continued to run the car.
There was over 11,000 changes in the ECU calibration, when compared to our calibration that is included with the 9L.
All pistons showed sign of detonation. Fuel pressure may have been an issue as well since it was not monitored.

[NT-ACR]

Lol. This is getting interesting now.

I know this is essentially race car build with Chassis stiffening and Geometry (and much more), But I have to ask......the pic showing the door, the gaps are Horrid? Is that the final fit or is everything still to be adjusted?

Sorry to pour rain on the parade :(

[Fatboy 18]

Sounds Awesome, and thanks for the reply.
I always wished that the Viper team in Le man's would (when facing a non win) bring one of the cars into the garage, unrestrict it and then go back out on track for a couple of laps and show the crowd what the cars really could do!
Yeah they would have got a black flag but it would have been a great way to go out.

[serpent]

Lol. This is getting interesting now.
Lol, you are always chiming in when theres action!

[Camfab]

Unrestricted or limited rules.... like racing use to be and should be today.

Couldn’t agree more. I can see why OEM’s hate to go racing, 98% of the problems stem from sanctioning bodies catering to the highest bidder.

[Arizona Vipers]

40452 Our TKO Holinger RD6 transmission kit for the Dodge viper getting ready to go into our GT3R viper build for fit and header exhaust build. TKO holinger trans conversion absolutely the best transmission to handle the power of any viper. The base for our kit is the Holinger RD6 trans; Handles 1000HP and 800ftlbs with zero problems, paddle shift or bump shift. Extremely low maintenance, dozens of gear ratios, compact design. We absolutely love these transmissions and The guys at holinger were great to work with.

Does the paddle shifted setup do no-lift shifts? Without motec? What controls it?

[EX1]

Incredible fab work. I'm just over waiting for those exhaust systems to come out.

[Bill Pemberton]

Unreal machines , so incredibly cool all the stuff you have done since we first chatted about your project. The end result is 100 times cooler than I contemplated, you guys are beyond talented! Thanks for the post , I know everyone is pleased and stunned.

[13COBRA]

Drool.

[kriskyk]

No Motec. We work with EFI technologies. EFI technologies is much easier to work with then Motec. EFI also allows us to custom build into the system whatever data and systems we need. Yes no lift shifts , blip down all completely adjustable and full data on all of it.


Is it more or less than Motec?

Was quoted $13k-$16k for Motec installed by other shops

[TKO MOTORSPORTS TEAM]

Kirskyk EFI tech is about the same price as Motec. But EFI is alot easier to deal with and work with. EFI is also easier to customize to your application and expand for data integration, paddle or bump shift, braking, driver aids etc.

[Exhlr8n]

Coming along nicely...Can't wait to see it carving up the tracks!

[ayousef]

Marty I just died, will stick to my poor ACR for the time being lol.

[ViperNC]

That's some straight up hard core Viper Porn right there. Eager to see that beast turning wheels in anger.

[stradman]

Thats some fab work guys! Congrats.
Can I ask, do you think you might in the future offer a plug and play conversion for the ACR? I'm out in Europe and would be great and much easier to be able to get something sent over here to fit in. With my 9L in place now, I reckon the gearbox is the only limitation in terms of the ultimate ability of this car on track...

[TKO MOTORSPORTS TEAM]

Marty I just died, will stick to my poor ACR for the time being lol.

Its a street car ayousef drive it to the track and drive it home; makes it a wee bit more justifiable. Its got AC and will never over heat. More power and better brakes.

Hello stradman good to see people having fun with vipers in Europe. The mods are so extensive to get the carbon body to fit and everything else to work correctly its not and easy bolt on conversion unfortunately . We remove about 70% of the factory viper and rebuild it. We wish it could be a simple body conversion people could install but to do it correctly and take advantage of all the performance you gotta go all in. We are building 2 of these Street Viper GT3Rs maybe 3. They will be faster then the original racecars since we are not governed by homologation rules.

No I understand that buddy. No way I would do all of that, fantastic though it is. No I was referring to the gearbox only...

What specific changes will there be to the oil pan, primarily baffling ?

[Matt Dillon]

Wow, I can Understand Now! SMDH

[TKO MOTORSPORTS TEAM]

Morning Stradman. Sorry i misunderstood. The gearbox we already offer a conversion kit. Our kit is not an adapted factory gear box case or some make shift piece. Same gear box we run in our racecars and some very aggression street cars. Its a very low maintenance and easy to live with gear box. But definitely for the full tilt boogy viper owner.

TKOSROD1452K DODGE VIPER HOLINGER 6 SPEED SEQUENTIAL TRANSMISSION
The TKO motorsports dodge viper Holinger 6 speed transmission is a great performance upgrade for any twin turbo or supercharged viper making over 1000hp. TKO motorsports Holinger 6 speed was specifically designed and built for maximum performance and reliability even in the most extreme dodge viper applications.

[SLP]

Morning 8400cc. Our racing oil pan will fix all the factory oil pan problems. Lack of volume, baffling, oil pick up, etc. It will be more affordable then our dry sump system for the viper owners who track their cars occasionally.

I am glad to hear that your oil pan would cost less than your $12,740 dry sump system :D! Any idea what the price will roughly be? It looks like the OEM pan/baffling is around $560.

[SRT BILL]

Morning SLP
Ya our dry sump system is not cheap but you get what you pay for. Its more for the real serious track junkie viper owner, but its a bargain when you have 50-70K wrapped up in your motor and you want the absolute best oiling system money can buy.
Our racing oil pan is a completely new all aluminum oil pan. Im not sure about the OEM pan/ baffling 560.00? We do know the factory oil pan is a big problem and is inadequate in many areas. If you use your viper at the track or spirited driving even with the add qt of oil trick it can be a dice roll.

Can't say I've ever heard of the add qt of oil trick. Could please explain. Thanks

adding a extra quart of oil is great insurance if your running it like a dog with a factory oil pan, its nothing new

That's great. Thanks for info. I checked out your website but it doesn't seem to have a price for the sequential transmission. Where would I get this info?. If I did go down this route, the paddle shift option would be the one I'd do.

[SRT BILL]

Thanks for all the information guys.
