Whipple Project

[CWright]

Well here we go again. After cooking Trilogy 005 I decided to break into the 2.3 Whipple. Here are a few picts from the past few days. I hope to be back up and running this week. I want to send out a big THANKS to Todd (Bodyman) and Chris (Blown 3.8) for all your help and the picts you sent. Also thanks to Marty, Jeff, Brandon, and Jimbo at Mo's Speed shop. I hope that we can post up some numbers in the next few days.

one day i want to have the 4.0 whipple on my MM is thta possible and isnt that the biggest whipple made and one of the biggest baggest superchragers out and avaluble for our cars

[sailsmen]

Curious, did you post a diagnosis of the failure?

"Squezzzeably Soft"?

[DOOM]

Finally!!! Now I don't have to keep my mouth shut anymore! :lol:

Git er done bro! :beer:

[NATEHAWK]

RIP to Trilogy 005....I was the second owner and king of that kit...I had it run best 11.9.....

[PonyUP]

I'm afraid to ask but, any suggestions? :burnout::burnout:

Well it's gotta be mean cause you are gonna destroy other cars

Hemi Hunter is already taken

Whipped would be interesting because of the s/c, but might make you sound weak because of the alternative meaning

I might have to think about this awhile, but you're going to have a heck of a beast

[NATEHAWK]

BTW what you do with the upper inlet that had the 005 on it and the coil covers?????

[BODYMAN]

Cant wait to see completed pics. You are gonna love it Chris!!!!! I swear A Whipple rt at home under the MM hood. If I ever upgrade mine it would be a 2.9 cause they are no taller then 2.3 & everyone ive talked who has a 2.9 loves them.

[CWright]

Curious, did you post a diagnosis of the failure?

"Squezzzeably Soft"?

We weren't exactly sure what caused the failure but the barings did turn loose and the rotors rubbed the inside of the case. Here's the video below and you can hear after the WOT. It made a good pull at 493RWHP. I figured it must have been on it's last leg. I'm just glad it did it on the dyno and not on the highway somewhere. Things happen and I understood that going into it. No worries on my end.

I hope to have more picts later in the week. I had to wait for 3 weeks on Whipple to build the sucker. I checked with a few different places but I ordered through FordRacing123.com at the best price. Everyone I spoke to would have it drop shipped from Whipple direct. I even called Whipple and they said ordering from them put it out 3 weeks. I can't wait to see the finished product. We'll see what numbers she puts down. I'd like to go the 2.9 eventually but figured I would start here for now to have a good platform to build on. :beer:

Lookin good Chris! glad its coming along

Can't wait to hear / see it!

Keep me posted. I know you can do it. :D

There has been a member contact me about buying it to rebuild. I'm gonna let the blower, mounting plate, and inlet piping go to him. I'll let him post up once he decides to move. I'll have to say, Chris did a great job polishing it and powder coating the letters on it. It looks great.

So it was just the Eaton that went. Why not just put on a rebuilt Eaton?

[CWright]

Cool...She lives again:banana2::burnout:

I would have rebuilt but going after the power I want I would def be overdriving the Trilogy. I'm glad this guy wants to rebuild 005. It's a great looking kit for sure. I almost went with the TS set up that Jerry made before but after looking at the cost to do it with a Lysolm blower at 2k and the parts from Jerry at north of 2k more, and a new snout at 500.00, the Whipple was a more economical way. I hate to part with it but I needed to move on.

[justbob]

Looks awesome Chris!

How about project egoboost? :)

[GAMike]

Glad to see things coming together Chris! She's gonna be one mean sucka we you get through these next couple steps. Looking forward to seeing her go.....

I smell a Doomie / CWright showdown in Louisville :) hehehe

that's weird usually they make noise before they fall apart. I hope whoever took the blower apart stood behind it. On another note Congrats on the whipple you car will become a totally different animal.

[Mercguy04]

Chris,
WOW, The Whipple looks really great. I'm sure you will be very very happy when you
complete the project. Perhaps a name like "RITE STF" (RIGHT STUFF). What ever you
decide on will be right for you. Best of Luck on your project.

Thanks Landy. It sucked no doubt. Actually I was going to swap to a TS in about 6 months anyway. This event just put me ahead of schedule.

9 days and counting Chris until Louisville, it will be a great way to break her in. Been thinking of a name, and for some reason I like this

"Cool Whip" I know it doesn't exactly scream fear, but I just like it

We are trying to be ready. I'm ordering new pulleys today to get into the boost range we're after. They will be here by Wed. We were hoping to have her fired up Wed afternoon or Thursday according to Brandon. Fingers are crossed.

I hope we both make it with our Marauders. Two Whipples or more at an event would be sweet. :beer:

I picked the car up last Thursday from Marty's and drove it straight to Louisville. It ran like a champ the entire time! As of right now it is sitting at 535 RWHP and 525 RWTQ. Jeff tuned it on Wed evening and wanted to do some more pulls Thursday morning. We both had a revelation and thought about the gas being 3 months old. So we did not do any more pulls with that full tank of gas. I took a few notes, at his request, and over the next few weeks we will do some more pulls. I am going to 3" exhaust all the way back and going to get a new tensioner. Other than that we are rolling and the car is a beast! I had a lot of fun in Louisville and the 6 hour trip each direction went without a glitch.

Congrats and nice numbers.

What did they do in terms of your fuels system?

[guspech750]

Geesh Chris. Pictures and video do not do your car the proper justice it deserves. What a piece of art. Everything is so clean. The Whipple looks fantastic along with the Wilwoods. I so badly want the rear Wilwoods now after seeing them in person.

You have one heck of a ride there.

Wait just a minute. Don't let me out of this thing till you punch it!" I'd say we woke up the neighbors! :beer:

[napolitano]

Wow. I bet driving that sucker is loads of fun. How much timing are you running with those numbers? Hey did you upgrade or change your water pump, asking cause you and I talked a while back about an mezziur pumps. Twin superpumps? No BAP? Awesome! Hope to see it in person soon.

Good deal. Let me know when you decide. I brought the MM there last year and stayed at the oceanwalk hotel where we met you last time. Indoor parking and all for the MM.
