Whipple HO coolant psi? - 10/3/2007 7:24:59 AM    ytix   Posts: 77 Joined: 3/16/2007 From: Arizona Status: offline I've got the valve covers back from the powdercoater and am ready to continue the Whipple HO install.  I am taking the compressor/intercooler unit to a radiator shop to pressure test before dropping it into the intake.  Got a question:  what psi does the supplied bosch pump crank out? _____________________________ Whipple Crew Member 07 black GT, Whipple HO, FRPP springs/girdle/stinger, Spydershaft, Pypes O/R H-pipe, Hurst shifter, CDC classic spoiler, BSM silver stripes, WE sequentials, Aeroforce, AEM w/b Post #: 1

I don't think it gets very high in normal use though. I pressure tested mine to 5psi first. I had the intercooler defect so it wouldn't even hold 5psi... _____________________________ doctorstrobe Whipple Crew Member 06 GT, Screaming Yellow, Whipple HO Blower, Spohn LCA, Steeda Panhard bar, Hurst Shifter, Steeda CF Splitter, YMR (in reply to hammeron) Post #: 3
