Way to go Scott, got that thing installed yet?

Skritch

Hey Jim, yer a BUNCH more serious than I ! I was surprised by the box size and weight but that huffer ain't light ! Best of luck to ya on the MP blower combo and when ya get the Whipple on something tells me you won't quit until you get to challenge Orange Crush for quick time !

Hey Keith. Seems to be a small epidemic of Whipples goin' around of late. 'Course the price is just to good to pass up. You'll probably have yours on before me. Mines lookin' to be a late September project. Hey, report back with any "tricks and issues" you might have on installation of that sweetheart ! And, say hi to Kim for us both....

The electronics and vacuum lines get repositioned with bracketry supplied in the kit. The kit is VERY complete with new gaskets, vacuum lines, wire to extend the IAC and some other electronics, new coolant hoses for the intercooler (CAC), bolts and on and on. Even a new EGR tube that runs from the EGR to the exhaust manifold (if ya still have that).

The MAP sensor and boost bypass solenoid get a separate bracket that attaches off the rear drivers side fuel rail boss and the EGR vacuum solenoid and DPFE get a separate bracket and get relocated to the back side (I think) of the new air box. Jon and Jeff could probably tell ya more, I just read through the instructions real quick to find out where they do go.

And if yer curious enough to ask about bracketry and stuff know there ain't many left (if any) so ya better jump on the bandwagon if yer thinkin' about it.

If I buy this blower, what else do I need to buy?
Everything, including the kitchen sink?

Skritch

Dale should chime in for a more accurate answer but the additional mods go like this from my understanding.

TUNE is number one along with a MAFia or the SCT Big Air MAF. Then as boost goes up 60lb injectors, more boost, twin 225 Walbros in the fuel tank, boost goes up more to insane levels then bigger fuel lines and rails.......I'm not sure that I'll get past the 60 lbers but maybe.....then some would say the bigger fuel pumps are extra insurance. The Doc and/or motorscooter man AKA the Wizard could comment with more knowledge than I. Heck, Jeff could too since he's got one on his ride with tunes by the Wizard. Then Jon oughta check in since he has one on his as well.

All this assumes the weak point in the block has been corrected; the rods. If stock rods then boost gets held to under 16 psi. However, twin screw boost is different from Roots boost so I read.

Hey Bobby, I got the lowdown on the IAC deal ! Imagine that, being installed "backwards" for who knows how long. Guess the tuner musta tuned around it assuming all was right.

I need to read the install manual on that to see what it sez.........I'm curious to know now........

Skritch

Bobby, install manual does not make mention of installation of IAC but does include a pic of the install of the IAC with electrical connection facing forward on the blower.

I assume you're running a stock lower pulley? The kit comes with everything, to include the kitchen sink...Ford/Whipple did a really nice job of putting together a kit for the end user to install. I think the kit even comes with a programer and free tune.

Skritch

Yep, got the "yellow sheet" in front of me. It's the one that tells you how to get your calibration tool. Gonna have'ta order it so I can have a "Calibration Tool" as the paperwork calls it and park it on the shelf so when I sell the blower kit in 2027 I'll have the "complete kit"
