Whipple Blower LT1 vs LT4 Differences?
I have the opportunity to buy a Whipple 2.9L blower off of a local guy. However, he has a ZL1, so he has the LT4 kit obviously. So I was wondering, are there any differences in the 2.9L blower itself between the SS and ZL1 kits?
From what I can tell, they both use part number W175ax blowers, but I wanted to see if anyone has some first-hand experience and could confirm this unit would work on my SS? |

Yes the LT1 Whipple is a 10 rib system instead of 8 rib on the LT4.

You will also need the intercooler, reservoir, misc. hoses, harnesses, and various incidentals I would think. Unless The Z1 guy is changing out all of this stuff as well.

https://www.amazon.com/Cylinder-Supe.../dp/B01CKBQ80M I have not been able to wrap my head around why you need these I thought all the LT series engine shared the same Architecture. Maybe to clear the valley plate? I have 2 Edelbrock TVS 2300 LT4 blowers Dirt Cheap but will need an install kit form Weapon X. Ted.

I talked to Whipple Technical, and they said its different but wouldn't elaborate. But of course, they don't want you buying used, their in the business of selling units. |
