As some of you heard a while back my N/A 3V that made some pretty good HP/TQ spun a bearing. So I decided to build a new boosted engine and we are getting closer every day.

Whipple 2.3L Supercharger with Whipple Dedicated 10-Rib Pulley System with IAT sensor relocation
FRPP Throttle Body
Kooks LT Headers w/ Catted H

Almost everything has been replaced with brand new OEM or Aftermarket Performance Components.....the ONLY component being carried over from his old motor is the water pump.

We are upgrading the wimpy Whipple HX with a Afco GT500 Pro-Series Heat Exchanger with Dual SPAL Fans as well.

We are shooting for 16-17psi on pump gas for max boost. It should be a wild ride!

 

Blower on! This motor is going to be awesome!

 

Nice, God I wish I had extra money...................
What HP / TQ are shooting for?

 

Thanks I really appreciate it!!!! I am expecting conservatively; 605rwhp - 615rwhp / Tq I'm not so sure about...

 

Saweeet!!

 

Thanks, I have the same exact response every time I look at the pics!!!! I cannot wait to get here back!!!!

 

So you are telling me that any GT500 HE will fit the whipple kit?

 

Not sure if any will work, but the Afco I know will??? Why do you ask?

 

 

you changed everything else, why didnt you just go with electric water pump? lol

looks nice though!

 

Hahaha I kno. I am going to I guess at this point what's another $300...

 

It's $300 saved towards a transmission upgrade. Build looks great man, congrats!

 

Yeah maybe I should bite the bullet... Thanks though.

 

the only reason i asked was because i also wanted to buy an afco when i got my whipple. And how do you like that 10 rib kit, i was thinking about getting the Steeda 10 rib or this.

 

Hey Pike,
I was @Torq the other day doing some dyno pulls on my car and saw your engine.
That thing is going to be sick.

 

Well the kit looks great and I have talked to one or two other people who have used it and they have nothing but good things to say... The Steeda is the other obvious choice but after talking with the guys who are building the car we decided on the whipple kit... Let me know what you decide.
Thank you, was it still in the front room? I can't wait to get it in the car!!!!!

 

From what I can tell, it Looked like she was ready for the install stage.
I noticed the Kooks where on, what mid pipes and mufflers are you going with?

 

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but it has been really hectic.... Running a catted H from Kooks and I know there have been some issues with the baffling unraveling in boosted motors but I have talked to Paul about it!!!! Yeah we've been waiting on a flywheel.

 

Nice set up, I have pretty much the exact same set up and it just got finished (waiting to dyno) but I ran into an issue with the canton. There is no provision for the oil sensor from Ford. What did you do on yours?
