Started on the whipple this weekend
 

Well I got started this weekend. I'm down to the new fuel system and sea strainerand gauges to install. But here is a few pic along the way. I ended up finding the pods like plane silly has and dana marine and wint with those anlong with a full set of bezels for the dash. They should show up this week.:evilb:

more

and more

last but not least

Plane silly do you have any pic of you seat mods. I have seen some one here in the archives. But do you still have to build a little box adound the seat??? Any help would be helpful thanks

How many pounds of boost are you going to run?

How much HP you think your going to put out?

17hp per 1 mile an hour gain for that hull.

Hey jim do you still have your nordic or did you sell it yet? whipple claims 200 hp more for a total of 625 hp at 5 pounds of boost. I have talked to many of sucessful people with this setup on a stock ho??? one guy in havi has 250 hours on a stock whippled 496 ho. So I'm looking at about 12mph witch is a big jump from stock. Should be fun this summer. If I see you at the lake I'll take you for a ride. Spring is just arround the bend.

Looking good.
Now that you are getting a lot of extra fuel and air into the motor, a set of CMIs to get it out would be great.
Regards,
Steve

I still have it, for now. Working on a couple things, we'll see how they shake out.

I'll for sure take you up on the ride. I'm real curious to see how it runs. I talked to wipple at one point but never could decide on what I wanted to do.

Keep me posted.

5 PSI on a 496ho, 12mph wow! DID YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO THE PCM?

Im not sure what that stands for??? But you do send you ecm back to whipple to get it remaped for the new setup. So far I have been impressed with whipples product. But I have not ran it yet. Steve I would love a new set of headers but not in the budget for this year. I'm going to drop about 10k on the up grade and extras to go with it. That just about taps me out for a while. I'm sure that I will be running this setup for a while too before any other upgrades. I'll keep everyone posted on how the rest of the install and water tests go. I'm still about 2 months away from a cool day at the lake for testing. But It's going to be fun!!!!:evilb:

Sorry Dig, I've been out of town. I'll get you some pics as soon as I get a chance.
You can see it a little in my avatar. The purple strip just bows out around it and the back of the seat is notched.

Plane,

MAG or HO?
X or XR?
How many pounds of boost?
Rotating assy. stock or upgraded?

How fast does she run out?

Dig it......

You got a week to get that thing put back together.
We're supposed to creep near 50 degrees shortly and once that happens, it's time to run it.

I don't get credit for this one but the previous owner did a pretty good job. And the price was right!

Mag,
Bravo 1:36 drive :(
10ish psi boost
Raylar rods & pistons & blower cam
Ported stock heads w/roller rockers
Lightning headers

The wife and I have been 86 mph (GPS) before I came to my senses (there is more there), no hyd steering......YET

Thanks Plane, I think that this will help.

plane where did the guy before you mount the shift cable at ?? Any help thanks ???

The shift cable is mounted in the bilge on the right hand side.

Plane Thanks again I mounted mine the same way after seeing yours. And I didn't have to change any cable length

Glad I could help. Let me know if you need anything else. Who knows, I travel for a living and I may end up in Spokane.

If you do get a hold of me it would be good to meet some people on the boards. I wish that there would be a cool Nordic party up in the north west some where.

we would like to come too. Or lets just get all the Nordics and meet two rivers ??Sometime this summer

Thats sounds like a good deal to me. I love that lake. I'll bee there for the fourth for sure. At party bay for the water slide

I'm in..............

I ran the big slide Labor Day last year..

Wish the battery wasn't dead in the video camera.
The best run of the day was when I went down with some topless women on my back...... That $h!T was hilarious.
