animuL Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 I don't know what kind of interest there is in Whipples on this forum, but if anyone cares heres a good resource I made: http://members.cox.net/animul67/whippletechinfo.htm there is a video on there of my GTP with the Whipple and just tons of info. I have found that most people don't know much about power adders so if you care to learn that page may enlighten you. Quote
timg Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 Nice. Sounds like a very easy mod. I've always loved twin screws! Tim Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 I only got a chance to scan it over for now, but it looks like some awesome information so I bookmarked it. --Dave. Quote
GrandPrix34 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 *edit* ya didn't read the other post, welcome back anyways! Love the whipple! Quote
animuL Posted November 11, 2004 Author Report Posted November 11, 2004 thanks guy... Right now I am modeling up a new design for the Whipple adapters. The previous adapters I made myself with a hand mill, based off of a design I had in my head and tracing gasketsand stuff to get everything accurate. These new ones are going to be CNC milled. I work at an engineering firm, I am a design draftsman/engineer and spend all day making 3d models of airplane parts and drafting them for production, so this comes pretty easy. Nice to be able to play around with it and manipulate it in 3d space, try different ideas and designs and see what works. These adapters will be much more precise and accurate, cheaper and less time consuming to build, and an even better design than before. I was able to make the adapters only 1/2" thick so the blower sits the same height as the stock blower, and the adapter is designed to be able to use with the intercoolers that some of the L67 people already have, such as the ZZP intercooler. This way I don't have to make a custom intercooler, I only have to make 1 part, and it will work with anything that the M90 guys already have. All of this for the price of the original non-intercooled kit of $3000 including the Whipple and everything else you need! Quote
Carotop Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 Hey is that whipple the only mod you have on your L67? I'm thinking of putting an L67 in my cutty and just wondering what I have to do to get pretty close to the same results as you did. Quote
z34_nut Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 in the dyno run all you can hear is the whipple. at the last run tho, from the ass end, it seems to puke some black smoke :? ? Quote
PsychoX Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 dude, can the whipple fit on the 3.4L with not a whole lot of modification? i want one!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
timg Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 dude, can the whipple fit on the 3.4L with not a whole lot of modification? i want one!!!!!!!!!!! No. The manifold required will require quite a bit of design and fabrication. IMO, the only way to do it like this is to replace the upper and lower intake manifolds. The supercharger is going to be significantly taller than your stock manifolds. I modeled this quite a few ways when I was starting my senior design project, and there really is no easy way. The best way is to mount it where the stock airbox is and run a driveshaft across the front of the engine. Tim Quote
PsychoX Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 ohh that sucks. well how did you get a turbo on your car and how much? Quote
timg Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 ohh that sucks. well how did you get a turbo on your car and how much? Install and custom prats = $500 Other turbo parts = $2000 Tim Quote
Carotop Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 Does anyone know if one of these whipples will fit on my Regals 3800? Quote
digitaloutsider Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 Does anyone know if one of these whipples will fit on my Regals 3800? This has been discussed over and over, no you cannot just bolt ANY supercharger to an N/A 3800. Quote
Carotop Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 But if I change it up like I am going to. To put a stock supercharger on it would I be able to put a whipple on it then? Quote
96buickregalgransport Posted November 18, 2004 Report Posted November 18, 2004 But if I change it up like I am going to. To put a stock supercharger on it would I be able to put a whipple on it then? do a l67 non super charged swap and just buy the whipple. I am contemplating doing an l67 swap once my 3800 II n/a bites the dust. This whipple concept has caught my attention though. Gunna keep an eye out for a production version. Quote
Carotop Posted November 19, 2004 Report Posted November 19, 2004 But you still have to do custom work on the manifold. Speaking of custom what did you do to put the whipple on? Quote
