    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Tomorrow evening I will begin with the TB. Fingers crossed, I will be able to fire it up and test drive it. This install has been a royal pain in the butt. If only my 3 yr old had patience, he would be under the hood tightening some of these bolts. His hands would fit much better than mine.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    I left the pass side bolt too loose when I sat the blower on and it came out while trying to tighten it. Had to pull it back out a little and restart the bolt. Ended up getting it tight with a stubby ratchet wrench. Took around 2 hrs or so to do just the one. My left arm is cut all to pieces.

    Blower is in place. Trying to get to the left rear bolt.

    Sounds like fun.

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    Ok, figured it out. I don’t have the stage 2 fan setup. I went with a fan-less Afco setup. I will just tape that connector off since it’s not needed for me. Thanks. Got my vacuum line and fitting ordered from Summit. Should be here tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    In a previous photo I posted, do you happen to know what that single wire and connector is for? It’s off the h/e pump relay that’s mounted near the air box. I can’t figure out what it’s suppose to go to.

    Gen 4 Whipple Coming Soon

    Pics of a Gen 4 blower.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Does anyone know what this wire is for? The manual doesn’t explain this. It’s a single wire coming from the relay of the h/e pump wiring harness. Is it maybe for the fan version h/e?

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    Does the 1/8” NPT fitting use 1/8” tubing as well? My blower has the new Gen 4 rotors. The manual I received is also out of date on a lot of the steps. I was sent a wrong intercooler hose and that has set me back a couple of days on install.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Ended up not needing any additional hoses to get the h/e plumbed. Actually had a hose left over. Got lucky with it. I haven’t installed the output hose yet due to waiting on the correct hose from Whipple for the intercooler. Suppose to have it tomorrow via FedEx. Took all day of calling them to...

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    Since both of you guys have the Whipple setup, did either of your kits have this connection? It’s part of the h/e pump relay that is shown to be mounted near the radiator fill neck. It’s an orange single wire. Have no idea what it goes to and the instructions make no mention of it. Step...

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    Where is your 5v add a circuit used? The one pictured looks like the Whipple one I have for the pump. Do you remember what size nipple you used in the manifold, like thread and diameter?

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    It almost feels like they just threw something together real quick. I’m thinking about offering to review and correct the entire manual for them in return for some free gear. I keep finding all kinds of typos. Whoever put the manual together either rushed it, or it was done by someone who knows...

    Progress on my whipple install

    Well, lucky me, my kit was shipped with the wrong driver side fitting as well. You would think that when they change the design of a part of the kit, they would update the parts to accommodate the change. Like you mentioned, the pictures show the old routing and the written instructions describe...

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Well, was in the middle of installing the intercooler hoses and realized that Whipple didn’t send the correct fittings. The long hose that connects to the driver’s side intercooler fitting at the rear of the manifold is suppose to have a 45 degree fitting that runs over the top of the 90 degree...

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    The little nub in the rear center of the manifold was part hitting the firewall. Cut out the insulation and that gave me the clearance needed. Just installed fuel rails.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Well, sat the manifold on and I seem to be one of the few ‘unlucky’ ones with cab clearance issues. It’s hard to swing a hammer in there that far back from the cowl. What persuading I did to it didn’t make enough clearance. By the injector ports, it’s only off by 1/4” if that. Gonna try pounding...

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Got the reservoir mounted last night before I quit. The pump is a lot smaller than the one depicted in the installation manual. Got the mounts on for the Afco HE.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Gonna pick up an inspection camera and thread chaser while I’m out this morning and hopefully that will clean it up enough. Gonna continue on with the rest of the install and tackle this later today.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Best pic I could take. Hard to tell what’s going on. The deeper it goes, the better the threads. It looks like to me the first 1/8” or so is a little rough.

    Whipple Gen 4 install w/ JDM 650HP upgrade

    Well, just replaced the spark plugs with the colder ones. Hit a snag. The rear most passenger plug was hard to get out. Almost seized up. It may have boogered the threads a little because I’m having a hard time getting the new plug in. It seems to be threading in like normal for several rounds...

    Aftermarket gauge question, aeroforce interceptor

    Do you have a pic of your manifold where you tapped into for boost/vacuum? I bought the boost sensor from Aeroforce and plan to install it all this week. Did you mount that sensor in the engine bay or run it into the cab?

    That’s not a bad cost at all since you already have the phone.

    That’s really cool looking. I like that you can see so many at once. What kind of screen do you use to display it on?
