New Whipple kit

[robbyd]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but it fits VT2s so should clear the Monaro bonnet as well, I guess...

Have contacted them for a price.

I saw that last week….I did mention it to her with the all seeing eye… however, I received a classic yet terrifying scowl

Haha
Trouble is, at £5k it still doesn't end there.
The kit is missing the throttle body, then there is fitting and mapping. Plus I believe an uprated fuel pump is required.
So that's another £2-3k?

Pretty disappointed in Whipple Australia... have emailed them three times now through the website form and direct email - no response whatsoever...

You could try Walkinshaw performance and speak to Dave. Obviously you had better be sitting down, but it will give you some idea of the price and availability these days.

Ok they replied -

Basically 17,000 AUD, including the 10 rib drive.

Landed here then maybe 11k optimistically with duties and vat?

I'd say more like £12k

17k + say 500 postage, you're into £9kish, plus around 5% import duty, and then add 20% VAT

Yep Stevie - I was being optimistic - you're probably right...

But it does look like a pretty effective tool!

I have a new 2.9l ax200 that I was going to use on a Magnusson tub, fabricate a top cover, buy new pulley, have heat exchangers made, etc.

This setup does it all plus I could sell he above plus my existing supercharger kit which could reduce the overall cost considerably...
