schmidty77 Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Ok I hope this works. This link will take you to my company's web site were I have posted my pics for your viewing pleasure. Yes I suck with a camera but you should be able to see what is there. http://www.cesmachine.com/Quality/Jarrod/jarrod.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Too cool, schmidty. I'll bet that's going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Everything sure is tightly packaged in there. Looks like they done a really good job on the install. Looks awesome. Does it give that planted in the seats type of acceleration? I hope you plan to get some 1/8 or 1/4 mile times to compare to what others are getting with diff systems. It would be interesting, just to see. We should have a procharger install coming on here soon. Be kind of nice to compare all three with real-world results. Seeing the pics sure makes it hard to wait any longer. I'll be there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Cool pics, thanks for keeping them big, so I could see some detail I can see why plumbing the intercooler would be difficult. The compressed air section is tucked pretty tight under the supercharger and it. The whole air routing is pretty snaky, coming in from the air filter in the front, snaking back to the rear of the compressor, exiting the bottom of the compressor and snaking to the front to route into the intake and back to the cylinders. The air has got to be pretty dizzy by the time it gets through Still, there may be enough room to take the compressed air out to the front on the drivers side, near the air filter, and send it through and air-to-air intercooler and then bring the air back on the drivers side to the intake. I am not sure how they would manage an air-to-water intercooler. Put the intercooler on the bottom of the supercharger? But that would place it right next to the exhaust manifold. Perhaps they should just go the classic route and put the supercharger on top of the motor (like the Magnacharger does it). What did their intercooler approach look like? (I assume you got to see it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing . . . oh, who am I kidding. My technical expertise is limited to "Man, that's a lot better!" when I stomp the accelerator thingy. The Whipple looks cool. Thanks for sharing the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 By the way, you may want to check out this thread from LS1Tech.com. A couple of guys over ther are playing with making their own intercoolers for whipples. Custom Whipple intercooler under construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmidty77 Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Benkey, it definetely snaps your head back in the seat. Punching it at about 65 mph is almost scary. If your gonna pass you better have lots of room because I've noticed this thing doesn't let up at all. The faster you go the faster the truck wants to accelerate. Oh yeah I also did get the tires to break loose for a couple of feet maybe. No tire smoke but they did spin. Dave, I believe Whipple intends to go air to air. If you look on their website they have a pic of the 8.1 liter intercooled kit installed. It appears to be sort of like an air intake box mounted just aft the charger. Did they install a warning light in your SS in the cab? I've noticed it comes on at under 1/4 tank of gas. They say running full throttle at that point will damage the fuel pump. Was this a Chevy factory sticker. I wasn't sure because of the other warning sticker Whipple put on their fuel leaniancy light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmidty77 Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 That guy really needs to clean his engine. Yeah really! We've had a lot of fires in our surrounding area. Lots of ash floating through the air. I promise I'll get right on it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that's just me. I clean mine every time I wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhawk Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 schmidty77 Nice Looks like the race is on now, Magnacharger vs. Whipple, can’t wait to see some quarter mile times…should be real close, I imagine the intercooler SC will be the better time… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 I clean mine every time I wash. I like my truck clean but the engine only gets cleaned about three times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
