Ford won’t start delivering 2015 Mustangs until later summer, but that doesn’t mean the aftermarket isn’t already hard at work developing new parts for the car. Whipple is one of the companies getting a head start, and has previewed what will likely be a very popular upgrade for 2015 Mustang owners – a supercharger system boasting 700 horsepower from the 5.0-liter V8.
Most notable in the new design is the front entry air inlet, which Whipple says “significantly outflows the older style rear feed based superchargers. The CAD renderings released by the company also confirm our guess that Whipple will no longer be supplying Ford Racing with their supercharger system.
In addition to the new design the 2015 Mustang supercharger will also be using Whipple’s 2.9-liter W175ax system (previously the 2.3-liter unit was used), a 15 percent larger bar-plate intercooler, a larger intercooler reservoir and a massive 170mm oval inlet. A 6-rib belt system will be standard, while a 10-rib system will be optional. Both complete kits and tuner kits will be available.
Whipple 2015 Mustang Supercharger System Features:
- An estimated 700HP with 91-octane fuel
- -No other upgrades required, just massive power right out of the box, more HP per PSI than any other system
- Front entry W175ax (2.9 liters) Whipple twin-screw supercharger that significantly outperforms competitions 1.9L and 2.3L roots-type systems
- 26% more displacement then Eaton 2.3L supercharger
- Integrated Crusher™ 170mm oval inlet
- Massive air-to-water aluminum bar-plate intercooler with 15% more square area then previous generation
- Massive aluminum intercooler reservoir holds more than double the IC water then previous generation
- Whipple Superchargers massive oversized intercooled air-bypass system for industry leading reduction of burst knock and incredible fuel economy
- Self-contained oversized oil system for dramatically reduced oil temps in even the most demanding conditions
- One-turn turn inlet allows for decreased induction losses when compared to rear inlet systems and 180deg bends
- Center discharge port for better cylinder to cylinder distribution then other twin-screws with cobbled together billet adapters and forward facing discharge
- Discharge down design allows for less pressure loss which gives more power at lower boost levels
- Top mount design allows for cooler operation then upside down SC’s that conduct heat from engine and are trapped by runners and covers, causing hotter manifold temps and less power per pound of boost
- More boost at the “hit” than any other twin-screw
- Flat torque curve for incredible acceleration
- Oversized heat exchanger for incredible intercooler water temps
- 65lb/hr high flow fuel injectors included
- Proven 6-rib belt system with adjustable idler system for easy belt changes and multiple pulley configurations
- Optional race 10-rib belt system
- Stainless steel jack-shaft with unique plastic cover (or optional carbon fiber) for increased safety
- OEM quick connect fittings for easy installation, no ugly brass or steel fittings on the SC
- Complete kits, Tuner kits and Hot Rod kits are available
- Available in wrinkle black, polish or any custom color
- Easily upgradeable with big cold air intakes and bigger throttle bodies
- Optional 5-year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty
