This showed up yesterday. Whipple does fit under stock hood, but just touches

jimmyg

Ya see I used all holley mounts, crossmember, exhaust etc ...I could go your route , but I would have to notch frame. I'm hopeing the mini will fit with no notch

nice build,

how much higher is the 2.9 vs the stock intake?

jimmyg

I think it's 10.5 inches off the valley cover. It's maybe 3 in higher ? I will check it out tomorro

I used the brp motor mounts but I position the motor as far back( it clear the gear box(the power steering pulley), the a/c box(the ignition coils) , and I did not notch the frame( I used the muscle car oil pan) I had a 4" cowl hood and it barely clear the blower pulley. If I can help answer any questions pm me. I build the whole car by my self

This is where I'm at. I had to get a smaller belt so I cut the larger one down till it fit, clamped it together, and brought it to oreilly s and matched it up

Low mount Ac with a dirty dingo bracket and sd7 mini compresser

jimmyg

Also , they sent the wrong mid plate for throttlebody . So I need a smaller one or a 102 mm tb

Hard to tell from the pic, but I am guessing a drive by cable TB might interfere with the drive pulley?
You had to flip the drive by wire TB, or is it made with a pass side control
Looking good, keep it updated

jimmyg

According to the instructions you just flip the dbw tb. They make 3 different Venturis . I guess I just need the 90 mm Venturi

Cool project man! I'm thinking about trying to squeeze that same compressor in on my turbo set-up. Do you have a pic from the front, down low looking in on that area? I'm trying to figure out if my down pipe will be in the way.

jimmyg

Car is basicly done. Had to swap to a 3 bar map, now I'm just waiting for mast to send me a tune. Now the intercooler fans and pump, when should they come on? Right now I have them coming on together via switch. Should the pump come on with car running? And fans on switch? Anybody know how this is set up oem?

patrick335d

i would put the inter cooler pump, via a relay on you fuel pump signal.
or just run a separate switch, the fans you can put them through a temp switch, but i suppose they will be running most of the time. you would like to see as cold as possible IATs.

put a whipple, KB or maggie on my truck, is still on my wishlist.
But i got my damn radiator/ cross bracing supports above the engine, only short shy of 3"

Nice build man! I'm thinking of doing a 4.0 whipple build in the future. I can't wait to see how your car comes out.
