New Whipple Issues

[sigintel]

Dude, you are crazy...
You were driving the car with a supercharger on it in limp mode.
Driving around FI with a CEL is about as ballzy as it gets.

If you had done this with just about any other kit out there, few would have been surprised if it ended up sounding like a diesel.
+1 Whipple failsafe tuning.

Please remember to do the crank relearn after the engine has been above CHT 185 idle for 5 minutes or whatever the Whipple instructions say. Have fun!

+1 TooSoonJunior and Ruiner46.. so... moffetts owes yall each a pair of those bad ass neon laces?

I think you may have misread. The complete kit uses the two connectors. The competition kit doesn't use any of the 4 connectors.

I dunno about this.

I think the ONLY difference is what tune you are running, whatever kit you got if you use the Whipple Flare tool and their tune, you will use the one white IMRC connector on the passenger side, routed to the intake air temp sensor pre-installed in the lower intake manifold of the blower. If you buy the tuner kit, without their tune, you will receive a kit with no harness for this IMRC to IAT sensor connection, and no sensor installed in the lower manifold. Other tuners (Lund, PB Dyno, AED, etc) don't have the ability to change the operating system to accommodate a second IAT sensor, like Whipple does.

However, I dont see any of the kits, complete or tuner, using the blue IMRC solenoid for the intercooler pump. My intercooler pump is wired into the fuse box directly, "add a fuse" tapped to fuse #44. So are the heat exchanger fans, they use the same 12v trigger as the intercooler pump. This is per the Whipple instructions.

Maybe the install instructions were revised? It doesn't appear there is more than one set of install instructions....

She works! I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the adaptive cruise control thing but that's secondary to the car running correctly. I swapped the connectors, cleared the code, and all the other problems went away. Thanks for the help, guys!

Glad its working for you bud :cheers:

I drove it as little as possible, maybe 10 miles after I got it home on Sunday. It was clearly not happy and I wasn't going to push it. I haven't done the crank relearn yet but I will today. Thanks again guys.

I guess they were revised. My kit uses one of the 2 pin IMRC connectors for controlling the IC pump. I did not add a fuse, it was included in the harness with the relay. Here's a pic from the instructions.

I see, yes the instructions were revised and don't connect the same anymore.
