Charlie V10 Dodge Viper power s15

[roachey]

Hi all, no doubt by now it has been heard that this has happend what i can say is that its true. I David Waterworth am the builder and driver of this car. Ten laps is all that i have driven this car for and what i can say is that i love it, the noise, torque just shear madness of the thing. I hope to do some more testing with the car after its shakedown from the first round of BDC, making some changes here and there with nothing like this being done before that i have found its upto me to make the right setup and see where we end up. Thanks to all who came to visit us in the pits and show how you loved the idea aswell as thats all i wanted to do, make something different and crazy that people would like to see.
Here are a few pics of charlie's build and other pics of the car should be along later, thanks again.

[cazzac2222]

Amazing!!!

We need videos please... :nod:

 

[spoonman]

having been in a viper, i totally agree with you one the noise & torque, and in a S15 brilliant!!

 

[teejay43]

that looks totally mental cant wait to see it in the flesh.Not much room left in that bay:thumbs:

 

[pegliobaglio]

You crazy sob lol
fair play I need to hear the noise!!!
dan@ db power was going to fit one of these in his s13 but gave up and bought a 240z instead glad someone went for it these engines sound insane

hi guys thanks for the support, this engine is from the dream car i have always wanted and put into the chassis i love most to drift with, so put that together and you get charlie
Vids will be sorted soon and extra pics, i have some more testing to do yet before it behaves similar to the s13.5 i had then i will be happy. The settings will have to be my own as this to me is the only one ever to be done to a drift car or even s15 for that

 

[roachey]

here are some vids for the moment of the car moving, the bonnet on one or two of the vids were to get pics of the engine while drifting

hi guys, just a quick update, testing has been going well with a few changes etc. I have to say i do love this setup so much more than the last chassis which was the 500hp s13.5. I am posting a quick vid of my first run at our local track, with a few more of these i think we will be ready to compete for real

Brilliant sound! And some good skills too roachy!

 

[Fruitbooter]

Quite simply stunning!

Amazing what you can do when you have the right skills and tools!...oh and money

 

[DeanS15]

Awesome.... Looks a bit 'too' hairy for s chassis lol

 

[roachey]

its not money really worked out to being the same value as a buikt RB or SR i just went a different way. Car is feeling better each time i drive it, more testing to do but hopefully i have it fully up to speed and ready for norfolk. 4th gear, 5th gear here we come

 

[Adam L]

That sounds so awesome, I never thought that I'd see that engine actually make it into a car as its swapped hands a few times. Well done and nice work!

 

[ali619]

I wish I had the skill to do something like this lol

 

[Mike]

Sounds soo good!! Epic work mate, hats off!

Did i mention i have one japfest stand ticket left?!

 

[roachey]

hi guys quick update, have been testing the car again and have to say its getting better and better. I have 4th gear going strong now on the small track at crail raceway and what a speed it is, its so fricking awesome. i have tried it now also on the big tack and am not going to use it on there again, with the spring rates i have now and how bumpy the track actually is i think i will be sticking to better surfaces. But again the speed ont there is crazy it keeps pulling all the gears through to 6th.

 

[ChrisTW]

Can't be that many of these in the UK, which means it was the very same one chasing me down on Knockhill the other weekend there. Terrifying and awe inspiring, didn't believe the engine till I saw it with my own eyes!

Good stuff!

Congratulations! I've been waiting more than 10 years to see this Although I always wanted to do it to an R33 GT-R, this is close enough

Awesome job! Cost is around a decently build RB, but it's way more reliable, roughly same dimensions and about the same weight. Now with the new Gen-III and Gen-IV packages from Mopar you can have 800hp fun right out of the box..

Again, congrats.. It's a great feat
