    CA Gen 1 Whipple Stage 2

    My family was telling me about how outside of CA he has his pick of MP5s, Modd'd small arms and silencers. I can't wait to move to the free land. Feels silly that I have to wait for retirement and my pension to kick in to get out, build cars, carry whatever John Wick guns I want and not have...

    GEN 1 Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Does he have to pull the motor for access to the stud? Did he have to pull the Whipple off already or that only comes off if he has to pull the motor? I'm supercharged and am getting the possible manifold tick and am toying with the idea to do it myself to replace the gaskets/manifolds.

    CA Gen 1 Whipple Stage 2

    March 2022- I received my Whipple 2.9, 4th Gen W175ax with all the bells and whistles, larger heat exchanger, twin 11" Spaal fans, 60 lb injectors, billet dual 68mm throttle body, smaller 3.25 pulley and an SCT X4 tuner for the CA carb legal tune. Somewhere down the line I have clogged up my...

    Do you have to remove the Whipple to replace the 16 spark plug's in GEN 1 6.2L Raptor?

    The intake tube and throttle body had to come out to access the 5 cylinder coil/plug. Some of the pills wouldn't come out due to corrosion. I had to swap the new coil pills with the 0 ohm pills from he Granatelli wires. As mentioned otherwise, tools were clutch (I needed double X extended...

    That part I do not know. I've just been trying to sort out my misfire issues and this was on the list for maintenance and a possible issue. How did you find out your coils are arcing? Check engine?

    6.2 Need help regarding Catalytic converter

    I’m curious to see how everyone’s cats have healed up. I’m trying to keep my Whipple stage 2 carb compliant but found my stick OEM cats have clogged. The recommendation from a shop is to try to pass smog as is (no CEL) and go with a Y pipe or high flow cats so I don’t run the risk of melting...

    GEN 1 Replacing Spark Plugs on Roush 2013

    I did the plugs, coils, and wires. Contact @Rick at FMS for some recommendations. He got all the gear I needed damn quickly as well. At 133K and should swap the idlers as well. New belt with the Whipple. Plugs were good with a jack on each side (left the wheels on). But needed to take off...

    Do you have to remove the Whipple to replace the 16 spark plug's in GEN 1 6.2L Raptor?

    I had a few misfire codes and I believe the fix for that is either plugs, coils and/or wires. I'm at 130K and I've swapped plugs but now I'm doing wires and coils to see if that fixes the misfire issues.

    Do you have to remove the Whipple to replace the 16 spark plug's in GEN 1 6.2L Raptor?

    Did you take off the TB along with the intake tube? Should it be pushing against the #5 cylinder or do I just need to adjust the tube so it doesn't seem like the #5 wire is getting too much pressure? Thanks for the info about the jack shaft cover. I forgot that thing might be in the way.

    GEN 1 Replacing Spark Plugs on Roush 2013

    Did you get this done? I heard it was going to be sketchy to effectively rebuild these and just went with new wires. I'm going to tackle the change out with a Whipple this holiday. Hope everything runs smoother after.

    Yeah. I got it all hooked in. I'm still trying to see what other features I can access to make this all worth it. But now I'm in search of a rack and pinion. It's never ending. And yes. Come out. Kids out of school and I have more damn down time!

    FS: Alcon Big Brake (Front Passenger Caliper and Pads Only)

    I bought this with the intent of putting together the full kit. But went a different route. Good as a spare or if you want to put together your own kit. This is the 2010-2020 kit with the black Roush logo built by Alcon. Never installed and brand new. Box opened for pictures only, not even...

    Got it all hooked up. Installing chase lights later this week. Of course it pushed me to get the front LP9s I always wanted, which meant getting a bumper to mount them to… and rock lights, and air horn and fogs and R&L ditch lights etc…

    Prerunner bumper on supercharged truck

    Hey folks. I’m stuck and need of advice. I’ve got a 2013 raptor with a stage 2 Whipple with the larger heat exchanger and larger coolant reservoir. I picked up an evil manufacturing hellion bumper but I’m having trouble with the install. The coolant reservoir is too large for the rake in the...

    Will that be for another vehicle? Any reason you didn't go with the RCR-12?

    Think I'll do the same this week. I like the diagram. Especially mapping it out will help in case there are any connection failures.
