Hi Guys

Just thought I would say a quick HI.

I'm not a viper owner but I do have a viper engine. I'm fitting it into a 200SX S13.

Anyhow here are a few pics of it to date:-






Anyhow hope you enjoy, would love to come to a meet when it's all done smile

Looking good Dan, always like these sort of projects.

It must have been you looking for wiring/ECU on the Viperalley? I may be able to help you

That looks a fun project! How's the weight distribution going to be with a generally much bigger (and heavier) engine further over the front wheels? Still RWD?

I've ordered a 1992 Service manual so that should help me with wiring smile and yes it was me smile

Weight distribution shouldn't be too bad, a little front heavy but it's not really going to be a track car. Also I can adjust the coilovers smile

I'll get it running and then may look at twin turboing it or supercharging it. Would love to do a few top speed runs, theoretical top speed with the diff I have and the wheels is 236mph. I doubt I will get that high but would be nice to see 200mph. (could be dreaming).

Will update you as I go. I've got some new head gaskets on their way (Cometic ones). Also if anyone is interested in some Gen 2 Cometic MHG's let me know as I have a pair smile

Always fancied putting a stupidly powerful engine in an old Defender!
