Congrats on the whipple and good luck with the tune
I will start a new thread. I will also post videos up of the tune. I finished the install today and am doing the fuel tank shit tomorrow. If anyone decides to order a whipple. Don't expect it to come with new factory replacement gaskets cause it won't. I had to reuse some of my original gaskets and am not thrilled about that. Had I known it wasn't gonna come with new ones I would have planned ahead better. Oh well. The install was fairly easy. Instructions were simple to follow. I will talk to you guys Friday!!! Thanks for the congrats! Heres to frying tire in 4th gear!!!!:beer:
i guess ill chime in since i just pegged common bap setup with my whipple 2.9L stock pulleys. i ran stock pumps, bap, wire upgrade, zone 5 stage 2 fpdm and it hit 100% duty cycle at 6500 rpm's. which may be fine for some but im not a fan of running a pump that hard since it does not take much of a voltage drop to have it run out earlier
Yeah I don't think any of us are fine with 100% duty cycle. That's a ticking time bomb. Good call on fixing that.
A little delayed on the tune due to improper belt sizing. New belt will be here Wednesday. Tune will be Friday.
what size belt are you running and do you have any aftermarket idlers? I have not installed my 2.9 yet, and plan on running the stock 3.5 and then the 3.2" RR for torco tune....
i run the stock lower with 3.5 upper with 100mm idler and the rest of my idlers are stock and have a 77.4 inch belt, but honestly it probably fit a little better with a 77 inch belt even though i dont have an belt slip now
Thanks bro! :beer:
So to run the 2.9 to about 650 HP your looking at new pumps right? Doesn't sound like BAP is going to hack it. Are you planning on upgrading the pumps? Or would it be cheaper to go budget returnless system style? I'm looking to take the plunge into the 2.9 whipple but not sure what im going to need fuel wise bedsides some 60lb injectors.
Go return, go return, GO RETURN.
I can't stress that enough. This blower moves so much air it maxes the BAP on the stock pulley and full exhaust. At the worst, Fore hat/dual GT pumps/dual FPDM. That's what I did and I regret it; I have to switch to a completely different setup for E85 next year...
So list your mods.
That's what I have and at 23lbs of boost it's spent. I have the bap in my garage and now I need some 80's.
I had a Gen 1 2.3 @ 20psi
JLT carbon fiber intake, Accufab sbtb through JBA midlengths/modded bbk x pipe and magnaflow catback. I was making 623rwhp on 20 psi, 22* timing and torco before I went back to eaton, as I sold the whipple to pay for a busted IRS, courtesy of me being hard-headed.
But with that setup I was @ 92% FPDC on a Mustang dyno. So if my alternator had so much as hiccupped, I would have maxed those pumps.
the 2.9L whipple displaces 25% more air by volume at the same PSI. If I had tried to install the 2.9 with that fuel system, i would have maxed it to kingdom come, even at 19psi instead of 21. A short call to Jon Lund confirmed that for me; he told me straight up, hes NOT tuning the car with stock pumps and a BAP. So I purchased a Fore Hat, Dual GT pumps, and dual FPDM harness. Specific details on the new setup I will post once MMR gets my motor down here and its in the car with the 2.9.
I run a 74 5/8" gates belt. Stock 3.5 upper and all stock lowers. Just had it tuned today!!!!!! Big news boys!!!! Starting a new thread.
