Turbo my TA?

[timberwolf]

You're on the list.

If you are in the city, you could also go to P1 Motorcars in Stamford CT, which is only 55 minutes from you. I don't let anyone else touch my cars.

The sad truth.

Scott at Manhattan Dodge is very good but you have to take your car into the city.

D3 and Calvo are about the same $ for TT. the differences I know of are: Calvo runs air to air intercooler, custom turbo headers, Tilton clutch and Motec. D3 runs a air to water intercooler, stock manifolds, mantic clutch and ProEFI. D3 modded my c6 ZR1 and did a great job, I have no experience with Calvo. You should contact Nasty GTS, he was the owner who got screwed by RSI and then took the car to D3 and they fixed and got his TT running.

I'd like to hear some opinions on the difference between these parts.

Guys lets not forget Dan Lesser - Viper Specialty. He's in NY, albeit as far north in NY you can get.

Hey guys it's Matt, I just signed up for the forum. I bought Orange TA #20 back in January. I was waiting for D3 to finish their supercharger package to decide if I wanted to go Twin Turbo or Supercharger and what shop I want to send it to. So the time is now, I'm leaning towards turbo and I want to make a decision in the next few days. I've been driving a Viper for years and have a local Viper expert but this is the first one I am going to build. I'm a little nervous because I do NOT have a local Viper performance shop and any of the reputable shops that do this build are over 1,000 miles away. Looking forward to hear what you guys have to say.

So are you going to physically be turning the wrenches to install the kit or have someone else do it?

If you are doing it - then the D3 Procharger unit will be far easier to install over these other turbo systems. Also using the F1X, it should support upwards of 1500hp.

I guess the big question is - what are your goals? Is there an ET you want to hit? Dyno that needs breaking? A punk who needs to be taught a lesson?
I love turbos and prefer them to everything but an F1X run to its limit will be a boat load of horsepower.

I've been building Twin Turbo Gen V's for over 2 years... Been tuning them on the stock computer for over a year... Go TT and don't look back! If there was some sort of spun bearing issue, I'd be aware of it! Lots of great vendors to choose from here! Good Luck!

Ha, wrong way... West! Any further to the "left" and I would be in the lake.

Where are you getting your info from? Have you installed either kit????

Are any of your customers on here that could post their experience with your kits, maybe show us videos of their cars racing. I know you had a thread about TT builds and a video of you or one of your guys in a car on the dyno making a hit, but that is literally all I've ever seen or heard with reference to you guys. Seen videos and comments from the owner of the D3 TT car and witnessed person Calvo's TT car getting beat on at several events, not to mention the D3 F1X car, but never heard/seen anything from your 2 years of building TT Gen V's.

Ed's not a vendor here, so he can't start a thread about his builds...

I guess his customers don't post about them either.

i wish he'd stop pimping his wares in posts too......

I have installed twins and prochargers on Vettes, camaros, mustangs etc. And had a hand in reintalling a gen 2 twin turbo on a buddy's viper.

My personal experience is doing procharger installs is an easier task for someone doing it themselves.

If is having a shop install a kit then it really doesn't matter I guess. I just took his "building his first" to mean he is doing it in his garage with his own tools etc.


As for the F1X - i quoted the -12 rating (had to go look it up). I wouldn't over spin a procharger unless in a heads up class race. Still the F1X is rated for 1300 which is just plain silly on the street

[TurboTA]

tator is not a tuner/performance shop and there isnt anyone else within a couple of states that id let touch a viper. i assume that is what he meant

That's what I meant

[TurboTA]

Looking forward to help you pay for that TT build

Thanks. Enjoy the Belanger!
