WHIPPLE PREP!

[Kong76]

I had a compression test and leak down test done on my engine in prep for a whipple install. Here are my readings on a 16' with 62k miles.

Compression. Leak down
1. 215psi 1. 2%
2. 210psi. 2. 0%
3. 200psi. 3. 0%
4. 220 psi. 4. 10%
5. 220 psi. 5. 0%
6. 215 psi. 6. 0%
7. 225 psi. 7. 0%
8. 220 psi. 8. 0%

He said number 4 leak down could be from buildup around valves so nothing to worry about. Said engine is healthy for boost but with 60k to not pully down to aggressive on a stage 2 kit.

I think 5-10% on leak down is pretty good for a NA engine. I wouldn't worry about it. Thats awesome, happy boosting. Are you doing oil pump gears?

I got a quote for the stage 2 with oversized heat exchanger, boundary oil pump gears and housing and the CG. Considering adding the GT350 chain and MMR secondary tensioner while its open.

Noticed there is no bap but only injectors. Curious if the stock pump is enough. Can't go fuel system and E85 do to CARB. Bummer because we have quality E85 here.

I will need a clutch prob very soon after.

You WILL need a clutch. Happy hunting.

I'm no expert, but everything I've read while scouring these forums has said that you will at least need a BAP to keep up with the additional fueling needs when running boost.

You should replace the primary chain tensioners as well with Boss 302 ratcheting units, since your planning on replacing the chains and secondary's

Yea i was curious as well. I can only run 91 out here and don't want any fuel issues. I know the 18-21s kit come with a BAP. Maybe being direct and port injection is the reason for that idk.

Im going through TBR garage out of Sac, ill ask him.

Why not just go with the Stage 2 CARB approved kit then, run the Whipple calibration when passing emissions, and run an E85 tune the rest of the time?. (and proper fuel system of course)

Ill ask about that as well. This is primarly going to be a daily driver with an a couple drag runs at most for fun. Nothing too serious. But yea since its already opened if it will help keep the engine happy i'm for it.

I don't think that will work because we can't get E85 tunes sent to Ca residents. We are now stuck with whatever canned tune the CARB legal kit comes with. I also read somewhere that the emissions stations can tell when the tunes are changed in ECU by ignition key strokes. Im not 100% on that.

I see, I didn't realize that tuners wouldn't provide E85 tunes to communist California. So the emissions place will scan the PCM to see if it has a CARB compliant calibration on it?

 

[Kong76]

Im not sure how indepth they go as far as the ECU. I just remember reading a while back about the tunes and key strokes for ignition cycles. I wouldn't put it past them to be able to.

I have about 8 months and i can relocate to another state within my company. I've had enough of this communist shit. You guys better pray our governor doesn't become president.

Alright enough rant..

I hear ya, I wouldn't live in California if it were free. Colorado is trying its best to follow suite, at which time I will be relocating as well.

I am just going to drop a suggestion. I would personally go for Mantic clutch pricey but excellent.

Are you serious, I can't run E85 in Cali? Man this is terrible! Plus the whipple kit for 22-23 Mach 1 still NOT legal in Cali (only the 2021 )
