You should reinforce the frame after introducing such a heavy engine in the front of that car. The 240 isn't the most rigid frame to begin with, now it's reality prone to flexing, aside from the hp 💪 lol
I think the steering is still going to be affected by the rack movement as the best practice is to keep inner tie rod location at the same point as the subframe to axle connection is. So if the rack is moved to left and tierods shortned/lengthend accordingly, that means that left inner tie rod is more towards to wheel and when you hit a bump, it will act differently then the right side. So this means that during suspension travel front wheel alignment will be a bit chaotic.
I reacted to the rack aswell, the left front is going to have a much more progressive toe out gain through the travel than the right side. It's going to feel sketchy driving at best. Perhaps a different rack would be the the easiest way to get around it. The inner joint A and outer joint B for the tie rod on each side needs to be the same distance from A to B on both sides because the bump steer is the arc the rod makes in relation to the lower control arm. Great video btw, almost makes me miss my old s14 :D

Hey man, great build, watching from Perth Australia! If you are actually serious about boost (not sure if you were joking) You can run a rear mount turbo, with the charge pipe into the boot, through a water to air intercooler, then run the charge pipe either under the car (opposite exhaust) up through the front tyre fender into the throttle body.. Or charge pipe through the cab obviously, maybe beside the passenger kick panel.. The turbos can have its own oil reservoir tank and scavenger pump.. 👍 done. Just something to think about but from where I’m sitting, it’s gona be a crazy ride as it is.. I’ll be watching😎 cheers
Haha, I remember chopping up my S13 Coupe just to put a huge FMIC and Turbo on my factory KA24DE back before they had all the "kits" and relocaters, etc. But I couldn't imagine trying to cram this in. My chops were on a much smaller scale, yet I still felt the need for reinforcement just to avoid any extra chassis flex with 2.5x the factory HP and the intent to hillclimb/touge. This will be interesting. I'm hoping to see this project get some chassis, suspension, brake and sticky rubber lovin' to see some of the full potential. Love this channel.
I have one of my dream cars an S14, but a Viper has been one of my ultimate dream cars for almost 20 years, this totally something I would do if I had the time and money, awesome car man!!
My first car was a 1990 Nissan 240SX...Best car ever!! Some dude in the next town over had one with a Camaro engine in it...the Viper engine in a 240SX is BADASS tho!!! Keep up the work!!!
Dude, this Nissan tip you are on, I'm into it! Let's talk LS swapped Z, or maybe Pulsar GTiR drivetrain into a NX2000. Awesome build excited to see it done!
man this was the idea i had for my first serious project car in a few years when i was actually able to do it. so sick to see you make this come to life and see you deal with all the things you have to do in order to accommodate the v10
For the brake boosting would a hydro-boost set up create more space? For the 4"exhaust, i would look into oval tubes. Great flow and will tuck up nice to the floor. For the cooling system, you can mount the cores horizontally with a small lip duct. The cores on the side can be mounted vertically to make more wheel space. Super cool build, good job💪 I'll keep my eye on this project.
This creation of yours is going to be a monster and I love every part of it 😎👍🏼. Don't worry about the videos being long, I don't mind at all especially since I watch these videos when im eating after getting home from school. 👍🏼😎💪
The largest big block Chevy engine is currently the 632ci, and she dominates any Viper engine with a Whopping naturally aspirated 1004hp, and 876lbft. of torque! That is a 364hp difference in favor of the Chevy, and a 276lpft. torque difference! Although I do realize that you probably meant that you were using what was available for a considerably lower cost, the Viper engine isn't even with two more cylinders close to the size, or capability of a large Chevy big block! However I love your show, please keep doing what you do! I will definitely keep watching!
I read the title, then shook my head and said it'll never fit. Well if there's a will there's a way. Holy shit a lot of fab in order for this to work,great job so far tho
Well. I am not sure if I an jealous or impressed. If yall are insane or brilliant. ALso not sure if I love it or hate it lol. Know how bad I would love just a GOOD engine in my 01 ram truck? the 5.2 I got has almost no power. its my dream truck. I wanted to hemi swap it but seeing that viper engine that I could never afford and the container you put it in, breaks my heart. But it's hard to hate the project, it is indeed cool. But I still say that engine would have went to a better home in my truck ;)
Wow, definitely an ambitious build. Can't wait to see it in action. You did the opposite from fast and furious, took an american engine in a Japanese car
i use to work at a shop that specialized in that v10 ,,volume isn't why they stay cool but it is thirsty .. air flow is why they stay cool., race rads run ful on all the time .. if you only use this to race .put the rad where ever you want . you just need the correct surface area of fins and fans to cool your spikes., streetcars use thermostats ., they want the fans up front for efficiency , noise and cost , the volume of coolant only matters in certain ways., it all gets heatsoaked eventually ..allthough there is a limmit to how low you can go on volume for coolant, it equalizes as fast as possible as heat dispersion is its only job .. its just a matter of how much heat you can pull out with fans and fins and how long you have to do it for and in what direction.., rock crawlers and drag cars and drifters all have there own issues with G load and duty cycles on fluids ..., buttt,, the biggest concern i have knowing these engines besides ever working on that car.., is that exhaust rout the aluminum pan doesn't help either .., the viper 10 is born from the pitts of hell .. my concern is you boil your oil , making it impossible to ever cool the whole block but you may even boil water jackets too, the side pipes on vipers get exceptionally hot as is., dump them into a single so close and you're asking for issues imo, but it only matters in certain circumstances.., like you care about your passengers feet or something dumb like that.. you might pull a 7 on a track , but traffic and redlights might be a problem ..js
Have fun paying for something if it breaks. I would have went LT. It's a little bit more expensive than LS but not as expensive as a Viper v10. Viper engines don't sound as good as a LT.
This is a sweet project Dalt, can't wait to see how you guys are able to make everything come together. Plus, no way Lee can bash this Nissan like he does the Juke.
You will probably get some weird bump steer from the rack being offset like that. Might be something to look in to if it seems like it is handling weird
You can look into a hydro boost brake set up from the chev astro van, I can't remember which years had the flat mount and which ones were angled, save some space and have much more braking pressure, I've heard it can split brembo calipers
Such a wacky concept. I hope it comes together and then you caj start polishing everything. Its going to be a true hot wheels once it's sema polished, which im hoping for. Would love to see the engine cover painted a dark metallic blue just surrounded by polished metal. This thing needs a massive molded and smoothed out wide body with some clock work wheels in deep blue and chrome.
Have you though of using a remote brake booster like they use in Rally cars? Also for the steering try and find an SW20 MR2 electric power steering pump, one less thing to attach to the engine, same goes with a Davies Craig electric water pump. Nice project!
@scraplifele OMG DID I REALLY WIN! OMG!!! I would text the name above but you'll need to send me $200 for a phone top-up and a new iPhone so I can complete this transaction. Please message me to sort out sending me these items.
I'm always down for swaps as long as it not a sbc, ls1 or 2jz. I put a viper t56 in my cuda, good thing it was a rust bucket as I had to cut just as much or more for it to fit.
The steering gear must be in the axis of the vehicle. It cannot be that it is shifted to one side and it is corrected by the length of the rods because then the angles change, including the akerman (it is then different for both sides) and the car may fall into shimi, and it will certainly drive unpredictably. In extreme cases, this can break the driver's hands. Why don't you change the steering rack to a worm gear, e.g. from a jeep xj? This will save you a lot of space under the engine. In this case, under the oil pan, only the steering rack and stabilizer linking both wheels, will run?
While I've had a hand in shoehorning some interesting engines in an S chassis (a Boss 302 probably takes the cake overall), there were a few times I had to hesitate to chop up a primo chassis. If I were asked to assist with this one, I imagine the conversation would go something like this: "How much do you expect you'll need to cut out, and what's going in?" _Viper V10_ "Soooo... Angle Grinder or Plasma Cutter?" Definitely would jimmy up a tube chassis front to accommodate that monster just for fitment and make amends with having to do the geo on new suspension, but she'd handle like a dream once you get past the off-throttle understeer.
Dude sick build!! I don't like Nissan and I'm not a fan of the V10 in the viper BUT together is a match made in heaven!!!👍👍👍👍 super awesome and definitely not something you see everyday!!
People make engine swapping seem so straightforward. I've wanted to swap a 3sge or get into my rav4 since all it needs is a remade/modified wiring harness. But it's my daily, and in top of that it's my favorite vehicle of all time and I'd be heartbroken if I fucked up.
Why not remote mount turbo at the back? would help with weight balance and avoid a lot of the packaging issues, though getting the air back up to the intake would require creativity. you could go full matchbox/hotwheel car and cut the hood and install a massive roots/lysholm/whipple style blower for the full cartoon effect. why not go full lunacy, youre half way there already with this build.
I wonder if I could put one of these things in my blown up 08 6.4 F250 lol. One other thing, don't use an angle grinder ( or any other kind ) without the guard. A wheel explosion really can kill your ass. I know it can be a hassle but your face will thank you later.

Depending on the Gen of viper engine, you should call it the 800SX, 830SX, or 840SX.
