  1. Whipple or hellion

    Does hellion offer lifetime warranty? Looks like they do per their website? I see they have various upgrades; can anyone help me understand the differences in the turbos offered? For digital boost controller are there any nice ones that go in like the air vent or mount nicely? Lastly, any...
  2. Whipple or hellion

    Does anyone do black Friday sales on hellion kits? I'm debating waiting till black Friday to order just trying to decide which direction for sure.
  3. Whipple or hellion

    \ What is alldata? I am mechanically inclined have had pretty much every part of my car apart. I mainly just want a fun car. My car is convertible so not really practical for straight drag racing, though I am thinking of buying an auto coupe and swapping everything over put vert back to stock...
  4. Whipple or hellion

    What is the deal work turbo maintenance I keep reading about? I read turbos require more maintenance than a supercharger?
  5. Whipple or hellion

    My whipple gen 3 ate itself and is beyond repair on my 2015 gt. I am weighing options of price vs performance. I can get whipple gen 6, or hellion tt. I have considered on3 and I'd love to save some money but I was reading their kits aren't plug and play. My car is a manual, sleeved motor...
  6. Need opinions/advice

    Yeah im going through all these thoughts right now for direction. I agree I dunno why rebuild is so much more money. Doesn't make sense to me either. I was making 950 wheel with gen 3 and 3.0 upper pulley. I'd like to make over 1k wheel. What is ESS? Turbo? I'll have to Google am not...
  7. Need opinions/advice

    Hi all, I'm running a 2015 mustang gt with a sleeved motor, comp stage 3 blower cams, fore triple pump fuel system with id1300s whipple gen 3 and Lund tune on e85. Previously made around 950rwhp. Somehow something got into the whipple and it locked up. I think motor is fine because when I take...
  8. Whipple gen3 locked up... discuss next options?

    I don't street race at all; so many unmarked police cars here, no hurry to go to jail, so not worried about the racing aspect. Car culture is nice for sure. I have a Model 3 right now and with the volatility of the EV market I would only lease for A) Reliability/unknown future and B) value...

    Totally get it. I've seen I believe it was a 96 year old go skydiving. I've seen people do amazing things. For me, I don't have a lift and being on my back or hunched over my engine bay isn't the most fun anymore.

    I feel much older. Was a super hero in the army but now every darn joint just hurts. But yeah, I get what your saying for sure I've just spent so much time working on the car I'm at this cross road of which way to go.

    Lol for me at 42 years old not rich it just hurts to get under the car wrenching etc. And I don't have the money to pay people for the quality work I'd want done. I don't enjoy tinkering like when I was a kid. I don't drag race the car much though i do enjoy little acceleration pulls. That's the...

    I don't have an answer on horsepower ratings. Blame the dyno blame air who knows. I spoke to Mike malicoat about pulley I was running in past, and he said many people run that pulley without issue. Not placing any blame or saying Whipple sucks or any of that nonsense.
  13. Whipple gen3 locked up... discuss next options?

    I don't expect anything free. It would be nice if it is a manufacturer defect if whipple would own it. At the very least not gouge me for 5k plus to fix it. If it needs new rear gears I find it hard to believe that costs 5k or more. That said if you look at the rotors you can tell it is not...

    Thanks! I'll plan to pull it off this weekend and post some pics. Yes ran 3.0 pulley, several others have run smaller just fine for years so dunno. It's only been wot a few dozen times.

    I have not disassembled the blower, I only removed the head unit from the car. I was replying to WD Pro's comment about the bolt. It did not ingest a bolt.
