As an entirely hypothetical question...I’m gonna throw out some information that isn’t secret. Shawn, the OP, knows me well and my current setup.
I am currently and have been running for the last 6 months what has been humoursly called a gen3.95 which is a modified gen3 body without gen4 rotors. Shawn has a true gen4 and his results should be the baseline for results or of course until Whipple and/or vendors release specs.
The gen3 is the largest gain from the gen2 on efficiency alone and with other tweaks as well. Putting gen4 rotors in a gen2 body will not net the gains even closely to what the gen3 can by itself. Confirming with Whipple will be the obvious choice of course.
The gen4, while an even better design by Whipple, won’t see the large gains compared to what the gen3 did to the gen2.
Lastly, the gen 5, while initially being only designed for 18’s and up, has seemed to have changed recently and that info is fairly new out there from someone much much more reliable than my statements here.
I know some of this is vague and that’s by choice as I’m nobody to be officially announcing anything that Whipple does. I am 100% a Whipple fan and they are some very genuine people that do great works.
IF the Gen 5 could be used on the 15-17, is it likely that it would produce slightly more torque than a Gen 4 in the lower rpm range? I’m thinking the runners might be longer. Could be wrong on that of course.
