I've had a few requests for additional pictures and info on the Cobra Jet Intake with the Whipple. I know of one other member [MENTION=18778]15orange5.0[/MENTION] on here and would like to give him credit for being the first to tackle this project.
In order to run the CJ, the stock Whipple tank needs to be relocated. I chose to upgrade to the Watson Ice box. I was able to use the stock Whipple hoses, rerouted and two of them joined. I kept the Whipple pump in the existing location, just strapped it to the subframe with a hose clamp.
The Watson tank does not come with any fittings. I used .500 Pipe thread to -12an Nipple. I used one strait and one 90 degree. Used a 1/2" nipple to 1/2" nipple (pretty sure) to make the joint in the two hoses. I did not take pics of the placement of the hoses. Sorry.
In order to run the ice box, the battery needs to be relocated. I used parts from the UPR 76-2014 battery relocation kit. Just the wire and the battery tie down actually.
I stole the idea for the battery location from another member on here, Sorry boss don't remember your name, But thanks!!!:cheers:
So I am seeing around 15-20 degrees over ambient on temp, short pulls have no affect on my temp. I have not run ice in the tank yet nor have I been in heavy traffic. Light stop and go I see up to 109F regardless if it is 60 or 75 ambient. I did see 123 or 124 one time setting in the car waiting on a buddy for 10 or so min. I will have better results on full pulls after my runway event end of April. I will be running ice for that.
