Just a thought…If the tensioner is clocked in the correct position for a specific belt type, RPM flutter should be reduced because, correct tension is being applied. If going with an RPM belt set it at 40%. An RPM belt set at 80% (incorrect tension) will cause it to snap that is what started...

SW, That is the way I had the belt run originally…But…….. When Whipple updated the tensioner they updated the belt routing system. Basically, they went back to the way Ford had it with the exception of the supercharger setup. Here is a picture that Fishpick provided. This picture shows the...

Hi ..SW Thanks for chiming in. Whipple sent me a new belt tensioner and everything is working fine now. The first replacement belt tensioner was defective. No more noise. I’m still not sure why they updated the belt routing. I read through Fishpicks belt tensioner threads and I’m trying to...

Finally, found the problem. The belt tensioner has a damper inside that is no good. Here are two additional Youtube videos that show us checking for the noise issue. Hope this helps others who may encounter belt tensioner noise.

Update Just want to share incase anyone else runs in to this issue. The idler pulleys mounted on the plate below the supercharger pulley have side play. If I remove the belt and I grab each pulley one at a time they have a very slight side-to-side wiggle. Looks like two of them wiggle a bit...

Last week the serpentine belt broke leaving me stranded on the road. The original serpentine belt was a KO60891RPM. I spoke with Whipple and they sent me a new belt tensioner and serpentine belt KO61066. Just finished the install. Tension is correct. The belt mounting plate and the job went...

Found the answer at LMR. Thanks!

Hey all, I’m trying to figure out how to remove the passenger side headlight HID bulb. Yes, I did the Google/YouTube search. Not a whole lot of info on it. After removing/turning counter clock wise the access cover ,….. I’m seeing two phillips screws top and bottom looks like they are...

I’m using the Whipple Tune. The car runs amazing. No surging, etc. Of course I have only driven it six miles at this point. I’ll have more to report later in the week. My goal was to have a tight performing street car that would pass NJ emission inspection. Trying to squeeze the last 10th of a...

Thanks everyone! I have built 13 muscle cars in the past. (Yea I’m an old timer) This is my first Super charged project. Riddick the catch can… line loop is ok….. it is just an aesthetics thing. I’m still working my way around a few fittings. The 10AN line is hard to bend with out kinking...

Hey all, I know a few of you have e-mailed me regarding the 2.9 install. I finally finished a week ago. NJ weather sucks, so I only had the opportunity to drive 6 miles (yes a trailer queen..lol). This week I’ll have it out. Here are a few photos. I want to thank Fishpick for helping...

Thanks DSG. Just filled the intercooler circuit. Waiting for the vacuum purge and refill kit to get the air out of the engine etc, before refilling that system.

Hey all. Ok the dumb question but, getting frustrated. I just installed a Whipple 2.9 Super Charger on my 2013 Mustang. I also installed a Ford Performance GT Radiator. Question…In addition to filling (adding coolant) the degas bottle…Do you fill the Intercooler filler neck which is attached...

Opp's Just figured it out....I don't have the super charger installed yet. Been waiting on parts from Whipple,...so I have been working around it. Getting ahead of nyself. Joe
