Whipple Supercharger Upkeep

[dkhummerh2]

Anyone out there have any tips on what I need to do to make sure that my whipple s/c will bring me joy for many years? Bought the h2 with it already on. Never had an s/c before.
thanks

You need to change the oil in it. I change mine every 15k miles. Make sure that you check the oil level every time you service your truck too.

That sounds about right. I didn't know the interval that most were following, mine has a sticker on the inside of the hood saying every 25,000 which i thought was along time.
thanks for you help,

I your truck didn't come with one, i would suggest that you atleast get a boost gauge, and some sort of afr gauge, a wideband is what i would get hands down.

This way, you see how your blower is work and if the afr is correct or safe. For example, let say you change its onlr religiously, however, develop a condition where you having a boost leak. Boost leak first be apparant with the boost gauge as you will notice right away. Also, if you are leaking boost or air, than you will be over fueling your motor.... bad! Also, say goes the opposite way and you have a lean condition... bad as well.
