  1. 2022 Whipple Stage 2, Whipple tune, Self-install, Initial Thoughts

    Overall, Whipple has been responsive to me. Drivability has been rather good "in drive" mode. On the mileage though, I may have lost 2 mpg if that. Im still seeing 23 mpg on the highway so I would suggest contacting Whipple for latest calibration and see what happens. I am in an A10 car though.

    10k update: Have had 2 oil tests done and happy to report samples are showing same wear characteristics as a N/A. Drivability “in drive” is still great however…….. sport mode has degraded to a hot mess. I don’t even know really how to explain it. So bad anything more than half throttle...
  3. Installing Whipple Stage 2 kit, Recommended Parts outside of What Comes In Kit?

    I have those. Nope. Not gonna hook. I'm going to go with M/T ET Street for the rear on the next go. I was daily driving the car for a year and went with the firestones which I like and they wear great. Boosted is just asking too much of them from a dig. For add ons, I did an oil separator...

    I would contact Whipple for the latest tune. My paddle issue cleared up with it. In my opinion, the refinement of the latest tune is note worthy as well. I went with the HD heat exchanger on my install, I do not have fans so I can't talk to that. No issues with circ pump. With this being a...

    No. Currently using HP tuners with RTD.
  7. 2022 Whipple Stage 2, Whipple tune, Self-install, Initial Thoughts

    Received corrected tune from Whipple. Uploaded this evening. Throttle issue fixed. Small refinements overall. Engine is much smoother running. Boost comes in with less throttle pedal and earlier than previously. Midrange feels more responsive and/or stronger.

    The Sure. Its only happening to me with the calibrations using the HP tuner /RTD combo. With the original whipple tune (tomohawk) I have no issues which I proved out this weekend. But be aware, there are legitimate reasons why the throttle may be backing off as well. Fuel pressure...
  9. 2022 Whipple Stage 2, Whipple tune, Self-install, Initial Thoughts

    This is the subject that started the discussions with whipple that led to the HP RTD tuner being sent. They did fix the paddle shifter icons back to normal. But there is a throttle back off thing happening for no reason they are working on.

    I don't know if I would call them gremblins. At least in my case. The fuel pump issue, "crap" happens. The new fuel pump seems to have mitigated my hot start issue. I need a few days to tell for sure. In my particular case, on the last calibration update, whipple ended up sending me a HP...

    I am still learning data logging as well.
  12. 2022 Whipple Stage 2, Whipple tune, Self-install, Initial Thoughts

    I do have some news on this issue. I pulled a log and saw where the low pressure pump had no pressure reading until the second start attempt. Got with whipple, they confirmed my observations. Either a cut hose or bad ck valve on my DW400. Since fuel pressure stays solid on a 4th gear wot...
  13. Throttle pulling back at 5700 rpm

    Yes, advance track was off. Whipple reviewed the tune and confirmed, throttle is backing off for some reason not related to fuel, knock, timing, etc. It appears to be a tune related issue. I still have the tomahawk and the original tune from my install last winter. I may try that and see...
  14. Throttle pulling back at 5700 rpm

    I'm very new to logging so apologies in advance. Ran my first log today on a whipple tune stage 2 auto. I noticed things are flatter up top than normal. So using VCM Scanner/RTD I did a 4th gear WOT pull. Sure as crap, about 5700 rpm the ecu pulls throttle away and settles at 50% while I am...

    I just emailed them and received a response in about 10 minutes. See below: The updated cal is still taking sometime, but, we will send you a HP Tuner RDT flash tool, which will allow us to upload the file in the PCM, modify with update and send you. This is our shortcut while production...

    Also, I'll plug this tid bit in. In "drive" when you get into it the torgue converter lock up is quite delayed compared to OEM. 4th maybe 5th before lockup sometimes. Not that its an issue, but it does feel different. I did ask whipple about this. They said is was normal for their tune and...
  17. 2022 Whipple Stage 2, Whipple tune, Self-install, Initial Thoughts

    Quick Update on my car. #1. I have the issue with the paddles showing on the dash at all times. #2. The hot "restart" issue has also cropped up. During the winter it was non existent. As the weather has warmed the hot restart issue has showed its face. I do DW400. I have not engaged...

    For me, these 2 items made things easier. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012CRAKWG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share so . So I could remove wiper blades and cover. To take the entire plastic upper cover off the wipers have to come off. The tool makes it easy is all. But, it's not required to...

  20. 2022 Whipple Stage 2, Whipple tune, Self-install, Initial Thoughts

    I think that depends on the "intent". For me, I am liking the tune. It's a little soft on throttle response, car acts a lot like OEM when normal driving. But this is a true daily for me and reliability matters. Hopefully the conservative tune isn't miss placed trust but I'm hoping it has...
