Whipple Charger-
 

Thinking about going to Quad Whipples and selling our 871TBS and carbs-
Who has Whipples and how to you like them?

This should be posted in the Tech Section. I have a Quad Whipple EFI and love it. Boat idles like a stock engine and the torque is 1000 Ft Lbs. It looks aewsome and runs really cool and should last long due to it.

Gary Taylor or Taylor Performance is extremely knowledgable on these Whipples and could probably give you better info.

I have the Whipple 3.3's on a 500efi .Gained a solid 18-20 mph. Its been flawless and made good power.Going on 4 seasons. I would buy it again!!! The new Quads or 5.0 should be just as good.

We are a Whipple dealer.They are the best blower out there.Idle like a car and make tons of tourqe and hp.
Give us a call with anymore questions or talk to Dustin right at whipple Hes on OSO as Whipple Charged.
518-644-3080 ask for Jason

I have seen a Sunsation that Performance Marine put a Quad on. Real class "A" job. When he says "it will idle like a car" believe it.
And the power that is produced is really great, it woke that thing right up.

Tom

Thanks Tom.Even the Carbed quds idle awesome.King Sting never stalls.And thats spinning 35s on 6 drives

Who wants "idles like a car"?

Gimme' this-

Who's electronic fuel injection software does everyone use?

Does Whipple make a fuel injection system or does each engine builder have to make/supply their own?

I love that boat, I talked to Mark the other day about you boat, your keeping it now, I was very interested in it, but for my area its alot of boat, good luck with it, it is a great boat

Rick, we use Accel on everything we fuel inject.

I gained a solid 15mph on my setup. Sunsation 288, Whippled 500 efi. I am replacing the short block as we speak, and doing some porting on the aluminum heads to match the Whipple intake better. Oh, I can't express to tune the engines with a dyno enough!!!!

I have 2 complete sets I would like to sell. Newest compressors (3hrs old) all newest snouts and upgrades. PM me if your interested.

Call Mark at Precision marine 504-469-7463 he can help you .

Whipple can supply the complete EFI systems with MEFI 4 controller or you can use aftermarket ECU and harness. All the hardware is included in the kits. We use the FAST ECUs, but it really comes down to what you are most comfortable with. You must have the MEFI programming software to do the MEFI 4, which we have, as does Mark at Precision and Tyler Crockett.

Sacred Ground,
I would not hesitate to purchase a Whipple. I have done over 12 quadrotors and many more singles. It is pretty much the only supercharger that I use.

Rick,
The only EFI that I use is the MEFI 4. Personally, I think it is the best. But, you must have the software to tune them (which I do) and they are not very user friendly like some of the aftermarket systems. Everyone has their own preference and there are much easier systems to use then the MEFI, but I think the added work in tuning a MEFI is well worth it.

Question for you experts, I will need to 'tune' my engine once it is back together. Do I HAVE to send the computers back to Whipple? My engine guy is very familiar with this system but I think we are going to have a hard time getting into the computers now that Whipple has calibrated them. I think they lock the computers out don't they? Can we get into the computers ? It would be nice once the engine is on the dyno to tune it , rather than send the computers to Dustin along with the dyno sheets. Then try again....

Jeff,
Without the password, the only thing you can do is to erase the program and start over. I'm sure Dustin is not going to give his password out. You should call him to be sure it is password protected, or you can try to open it yourself to see, but it must be powered up. That can be tough if the engine is apart, but it can be done by hooking up the harness. Hope this helps, Eddie.

So, the idling issues and over all driveability are governed by the fuel injection system the engine builders choose.

EFI, MEFI4, Accell, etc.. Each is probably different in many unique ways.

I thought that maybe Whipple had its own EFI system that was tunable that they supplied with the blowers. Would add a lot more consistency to applications.

I'm sure Dustin password protects the ECM. If you have a dealer that you purchased through that is doing the tuning and has the software, Dustin may send him a copy of the file. He's done that for me before. Then he can fine tune it from there using a wide band 02 sensor.

My computer is protected, and I respect that. I just wondered if there was a way around it to make this easier and WAY quicker fo me. I guess I'll just send the computer with a dyno sheet. Trial and error.

When we bought the Apache this summer I was adament about not buying a boat with blowers....that was hard to find with the weight of the boat, etc. and now realize that we need them in order to have the boat perform where we want.

I know my husband will know this but I just have to ask quickly.

What is the difference between whipples and blowers? Is there short version that puts it in a nutshell?

Thanks.

Not all that much- same basic principle. The whipple uses a high helix rotor which is essentially more of a screw-like twist than a straight-rotor roots type. There are plusses and minuses to each.

Blowers aren't bad but they are a bit more maintenance-intensive. The biggest thing is making sure you have zero fuel delivery issues. Lean melts motors quick with blowers.

Thanks for the explanation Chris. Trust me, we have enough soot on our transom so we're not running lean! :cool-smiley-011:

Still learning about blowers and things like that. We're doing some maintenance on our blowers this winter and Rob's been great in explaining everything and what it does along the way. Just helps me understand a little bit better when you goes start talking your talk! :D:drink:

i have a tripple engine 42 baja & i have there 3300liter efi blower kits in my boat. they are great. proably a good 100 hours on them with no problems what so ever. the noise they make is the very cool also. 3 engines at 5900rpm, people stair when you go by & just point. so if your asking i say for shore do it.

i have a tripple baja 42 with whipple's, if you want less brain damage call dustin whipple let him know your sending them & have him do it. when i put on my chargers down in fresno he went with me to the lake to do the map, never had a problem ever in 3 seasons.

I would like to have this set up in my next boat w/#6's, 525efi Whipple making 900++ hp:drink:

That boat would work well also!!:D:D

I installed a 3.3 whipple and dart aluminum heads on a HP 500efi and went from 84mph to 112mph in a 25 daytona, it's 3 years old and never had any issues , very pleased.

Hay rik FAST makes a nice efi system fully programable with lap top

I have a standard 502 with a little adjustment im getting right around 625 hp. Bored out heads, different cam etc...This is a carburated engine can i still add whipples? If so how much would it cost me?

Just think turn the boost up and race gas and be 1000plus.:D

Which Dart heads did you use? I ask because I have to port match them to the Whipple intake. Not a very good match stock. Did you do this? I am running the Pro one seris.

Jeff I used the cnc ported 335 heads, I did not match the ports when installed, but I am currently building a 557 quadrotor with the dart cnc 355 heads and I will certainly see how they match up(or don't match up?)FYI we spoke briefly before you installed your whipple, Rob at HTG is building the 557. Larry

Oh, O.K. cool, question, did you look into the 5.0 whipple? Instead of the quad rotor? Also, tell Rob to double check your push rods apone assembly....;-)

looking to upgrade b&m to quad or new 5.0
 

looking to upgrade b&m to quad or new 5.0 , can you tell me
if you need intercoolers for 540 or less ci , with 800 -900 hp?

Just listed them in classified with intercoolers !

Need feedback thanks

On the Whipple kits They are made for/into the lower intake. I wouldnt run it without a innercooler.

I am hearing the 5.0 is a lot more money that the Quad?

Whipples are awesome blowers. I have about 100hrs on a pair of 3.3s, no problems so far. They sound really cool when they are making boost :D

something like 6200 for snoutless blower I was Quoted ,
for radial w305r / how much for quad carb do you know aprox ?

would like to find some some quads setup with carbs maybe
anybody have them?

By running lean, I don't mean intentionally jetting lean. I mean having something go wrong and disturb fuel delivery to your cylinders. Something as small as a piece of dirt or a failing pump can restrict fuel supply- it only takes a few seconds to go from smooth running to Chernobyl inside your motor. There's a very fine line between max performance and meltdown with forced induction.

Maintenance, diligence and a willingness to replace some key parts even though they're still working is the only way to successfully live with blowers.

I'm anxious to try this on the set of motors I'm building now. If iot does half of what they claim and what people have said it does, it's worth the $$ just for the meltdown insurance, let alone the performance gains.
