Default need help with coolant smell on viper with paxton

i dont know much about superchargers but i think there is something wrong with mine..i was driving and hit a bunch on bumps and then i smelled coolant..pulled over but i didnt see any leaks..car was not overheating...i drove it home and didnt get on it at all..


now the car sounds like crap by the supercharger..sounds like a bunch **** spinning around and lots of air sucking in..


i know this might sound vague, but its the best i can describe it..hopefully someone might have this problem before..

thanks for any help..

Did you have any luck with your Viper problem? If not I'll take a look at mine and my manuel to see if I can give you any suggestions... Here is a pic of mine...

picture came out too small..

there is a line about 1/2 inch coming from below the intake leading to the air filter..there is a nipple on the end of it and i cant find where it goes..


i talked to Tiago and he said i probably shook the line to the A/W intercooler off and leaked all the coolant out from it..i havent had a chance to get the car on a lift and see whats going on down there..


thanks..

still got one...what you talking about...

even though i love supras for their ease of making crazy HP and ability to run 9s with mostly bolt ons and stock parts...i still like a variety of other cars..

you forget i had a Z06, C6, and now a Viper..i just dont plan on making anything over 700hp....i know the weakness of these cars..

Took a look at my set-up, There is'nt a line running back into my filter area from under the intake. I have an aftermarket radiator which may be plumbed differently than yours. I will take a look at my shop manuel later and see if I can tell what line you are talking about...
