GT101 Mustang GT build thread - Whipple +....

[Gibbo205]

Do they not cause the wheels to protrude from the arches?

25mm in the rear will yes unless running pretty aggressive rear camber which has a negative impact on handling for the road, ok for track though.

Rear 25mm: Protudes/pokes slightly.
Rear 20mm: Is perfectly flush with around -1.75 rear camber
Rear 15mm: Is best in my view and is what is on my car, plus with 15mm in the rear is safer as uses longer studs and slip on spacer, safer and weighs less.

Front 30mm: Protudes/pokes slightly.
Front 25mm: Is nearly flush
Front 20mm: Is OK
Front 15mm: Not ideal looks wise but again can use the safer/lighter spacer design.


I am personally running 15mm rear and 23mm front. I dislike the front spacer design which is bolt to hub and wheels bolts to spacer, but my wheels did not fall off on the track day, so they seem safe enough.

So what would the damage be on a Whipple install?

 

[djone101]

The basic Whipple kit is £6995 inc VAT in black (other colours are available at extra cost)
Fitting is £924 inc VAT.

There are a number of optional extras including:
Larger (132mm elliptical) throttle body £595,
Dual fan kit £400,
Carbon jack shaft cover £190
Carbon inlet tube £300 (only fits with larger throttle body)
Higher flow fuel injectors £250
Higher flow intercooler pump £100
10 rib belt system (stock is 6 rib) £1500

That's pretty reasonable - will see you at the GT101 open da in may - by which time I should actually have the vehicle...

Really not bad at all.

Do provide the Whipple calibration and flight control software with the kits?

I shall be doing this, larger TB, Dual fans and higher flow pump with stock 3.75" pulley to begin with, good power but low boost for engine longevity/reliability.

Do you plan to have any 10-20% discount offers in the future on kits?

 

[djone101]

Yes it includes the Whipple Cal and their Flare tool that we use to flash the calibration on to the car with. This gives you the options to read and clear codes etc as well as alter tyre size and a few other things but it's not really useful for data logging.

Nice one, do they come with flight control also or is that an optional extra?

Datalogging I use an SCT X4 with SCT livelink gen2 software anyway as it is really very good bit of software and very easy to understand.

I haven't ever come across flight control.

The Mustang kits we buy ship with a small device called a Canelope - once we've read the data from the car we send some specific information (strategy level etc) to Whipple. They write a cal for the car and send us a link which we pull the cal from and then flash to the car using Flare via the Canelope.

Flight Control is quite new. Looking at the manual it seems it's embedded within the latest version of Flare.

How many days does it take you to do an install Dave? And what's the lead time?

 

[djone101]

Lead time is around 10 days to get the kit from Whipple (unless you want a custom colour etc) and then I'd allow three days for the install.

If you want a dyno run that would depend upon how busy the dyno is (very busy at the moment as race season gets underway)
