Well after more putzing around with the blower I've just decided to set the gap on the rotors with a feeler gauge to .008 and we will see how it goes lol. Yolo

So that's sort of what I did on my last one except we set in the middle of the clearance. I'm wondering just how much efficiency you lose by having a little larger gap than necessary? Maybe it's really just that simple haha

Yeah I tried them my last rebuild even having bought the kit from him and they didn't want to part with any of these secrets either. Just send it in and we will do it type conversation. They even file the bearing numbers off the races in the rebuild kits so you can't look them up and see they...

haha thanks for this. yeah i mean i guess ultimately it probably just comes down to trial and error these companies/people have done over the years to squeeze the most efficiency out of their setups without blowing them up. i figure these gaps in the rotors are similar to like advancing timing...

I haven't gotten the book yet but the guy in the video mentioned getting clearance info from SA book so I think this is it https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1613251319?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image Update whipple finally emailed me back after I sent another follow up. Basically said "sorry can't...

So I recently found an interesting youtube video in which a guy does pretty much exactly this. I learned a good bit just from watching that video like how potentially measuring the rotor gap with a feeler gauge and adjusting via shims like you mentioned. I've actually already fully rebuilt a 2.9...

Boy this must be the most closely guarded industry secret of all time, I can't find a single piece of information on this anywhere. Calling whipple got me their support email and just no reply lol wtf

Thanks for the suggestion I'll give them a shout.

Anyone in here ever rebuild a whipple supercharger? Wondering how you set the gear backlash. Dial indicator and just put it in the middle of the play?

how on earth hasnt anyone snatched this up its freaking beautiful

links not working

im fucking dying over here hahah

Wow i mean its beautiful and a feat of engineering but man thats one heavy bitch.

they look beautiful man

wow anyone who gets this at that price built and done.. what a steal! love modding our cars but damn that hit we take selling. good luck man, beautiful car.
