Broke the damn Whipple Blower...

[don_w]

Doesn't sound like it. My guess would be twin turbo. Do I get a prize if I guess correctly?

That's just a question of curiosity - nothing more. Have never heard of it and was just curious if you could....

I also asked about the high priced intakes and turbos. Doesn't mean I'm getting a turbo - just curious if 3-4 grand would do anything for a turbo set-up.

I am just seeing these intakes for 3-4 grand and wondering what the hell they do for a FI car. I didn't mention blowers cause most are TS and not applicable for the question...

Don - all I know for sure is I am going to put it on a trailer. Minus the occasional cruise-in's and car shows, and maybe Irwindale, but for anything over 20 miles, it will be on a trailer.

Right now I am just focusing on seeing what whipple is going to do (if anything) about this blower taking a dump for no apparent reason.

Dude, that sucks. At least you have the money to do all this. Some of us would be s.o.l.

yea- but drug running is dangerous - Now I'll have to make two extra trips to Bolivia...

Hey Mark, what could be the chance of spraying N2O through the blower can make the bearings weak? Ive had the lining on the screws of the blower start to peal from N2O.

Good thought but highly unlikely in my case. The reason is because I have only sprayed this blower during 2 dyno pulls, 1 1/4 mile pass, and 2 1/8 mile passes for a total of 5 times...

don't get any over the counter stuff most of it is crap for the levels you are looking for and if anything the turbo will cost you 1.5k alone lol. Please dont go with a simple POS t- series or anything like that go HTA or VTG

Oh well then, for the sake of the anal retentive, then let me be specific...

When attempting to run a trans brake activation button through the cruise control of a mustang steering wheel - I cracked the mustang steering wheel and the connection hub rendering it completely useless and broken.

I would say I broke a steering wheel.

lol have you broken a pedal yet? I can say I broke the handbrake lol

Perhaps - but the KB was not 'worry free' IMO either...

All I know is Whipple told me at 11:00 the morning that a tech would be calling me back today 'for sure' ( I called back at 1:30 and checked agai and told - he's calling by 5:00) and low and behold - no phone call...


I hope they don't dick me on this POS.

LOL - well the clutch pedal is still in my car and useless after I did the auto swap - so does that count as 'breaking' it?...

 

[jason0156]

I call Kenne Bell when I had a blower issue. When u can get throught to tech. By the end of the day jim Bell himself called me, Both times. When I had a whipple problem on my cobra in 2004, called there tech..........Still waiting on that call! Good thing I didn't hold my breathe.

gezzz Mark, I guess with cars if you didnt have bad luck you'd have no luck huh?

I give you credit for the persistence.

 

[W1ldcat]

I bet Whipple does the right thing. If not all us Whipple people will be pissed.

 

[RRRoamer]

I have not broken the power windows nor the lens covers on any of the lights.

Dude, get a freaking hammer and get it over with... At least then you would have to start a whole new list of what you haven't broken MULTIPLE times!

I look forward to the progress of the beast.

In the market for a blower\blower package, let me know if they fix it and if youre selling it?

Sorry to hijack the thread

I saw your car today Mark. All I have to say is

Well chevykiller it's time to listen to the v-6 kid with 7 inch pistons.

You need to tri charge that thing and add a 200 shot of NOS.
