You've done your research and want to go with a Whipple, but found two attractive routes for this particular supercharger upgrade. A kit from VRP, and a kit from Weistec. They both offer gen 4 Whipple blowers, but the pricing and features are different and this has you questioning which kit to go with? All your questions are answered here!

We LOVE this video! Just want to add that we ALSO offer a Gen 5 Kit With Billet runners and up to a 105 throttlebody as a standard option! Both the Gen 4 and Gen 5 Have methanol ports built into our snout. This kit does carry a 1 year Warranty as well.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Awesome! We are excited to get to see the new Gen 5 kit hands-on at some point. The power potential looks insane!

[@fr6749]

OJ, thank you for your insight into the two wipple systems,, the added funny antics were spot on . Lol😂

[@FluidMotorUnion]

We have fun here too, we love what we do, so we gotta enjoy our days!

That’s my old car! I don’t have any experience with the VRP kit, but my old weistec kit was easy to modify, and should be turn key. As far as I know, it was a very early kit, and I actually had the intercooler brick develop a pinhole on me. When I replaced the brick, the new Weistec intercooler brick didn’t fit without lots of grinding because it was much larger. Also, the car is using Thermalnator intake gaskets and has a 4” intake tube, not 3.5”. It has 2 walbro 450’s in the tank and -8an from the pumps to the engine, and uses the factory feed line as the return. There was so much fuel, that we couldn’t use the rising rate fuel regulator. Curious to see how it compares to the VRP kit on the Dyno. Although I’m sure my car has a few more big power upgrades and is running more boost than Alex’s car. See my channel to watch how it did on a Dynocom Dyno in Maryland. The car also went 10.7 in the 1/4 mile on a hot July night with no meth!

Let’s goooooooooooo!! AMG content 😊

[@onnovannoort7690]

I never owned a supercharged car, only turbo ones. Turbo's develop a great deal on lag and reliability and are easy to upgrade. But I definitely see the charm of a supercharger, the wine and instant power! Maybe some day. Definitely never go back to NA. Another great video OJ!

[@SavedbyHim]

When OJ said 'hit the like button, I paused and hit the like button' Respect!

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Thank you bro!

I'm using the ESS Whipple 2.9 kit for the M156. None of these kits have adequate cooling capacity. Kinkaid killer chiller is essential. I'm extremely happy with how it works.

[@RubberChickenMan007]

Once Alex @LSC told us you had a channel, i instantly looked you up and subscribed. This is freaking awesome!!

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Awesome, welcome to the channel and thanks for the support!

[@davidjohnson1778]

How about a top mount intercooler setup with an inter chiller system and maybe a wet shot of nitrous?

[@IDONTHAVEPERMISSION]

So detailed. So informative. Your videos are fantastic.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Glad you think so!

[@texx1017]

great comparison of the 2 cars. Very educational.

[@johnelopez5482]

Information loved it.

[@jagdeepsekhon308]

Sticking to the facts 👌

[@jonspackman]

Another great video OJ. Might want to rethink that gold layer on the intake pipe I saw in the video. According to testing from Engine Masters; good absorbs heat. That would make that a heat grabbing or warm air intake. Yikes

[@flacostacos3144]

Great video boys. Love it!

[@FixItStupid]

Great Video, MEN

[@manualgarage]

Well made informative video, nice work✌️

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Thanks 🙂

[@b0ba8]

Another awesome video 💪🏻💪🏻😁

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Keasbeysknight]

Nice

[@dnaxfilms9132]

Yes, more Amg content

[@jplperformance9073]

AWSOME video

[@GrockleTD]

the e55 wagon saga continues :p

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Ever going but we think the coming part 2 is gonna be 🔥

[@IGY6MJ]

I was waiting for WWF Smack Down, are you ready to rumble 🤘🏻😆 awesome content 🏎️💨

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Yes we are

[@riga69]

How reliable would a c63 m156 with the weistec kit be?

[@FixItStupid]

Good To know INFO AMG Good Tech. You DO !

[@S.Madman]

Does running Methanol mitigate some of the elevated engine IAT's on the VRP kit? Great video BTW.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Yes, but to take full advantage of it it has to be located properly.

[@endaf]

Just doing the split cooling makes a huge difference on these engines, while my engine cooling system gets hot, my split cooling system only gets slightly warm, can actually put my finger in the coolant and it's comfortably warm I'd suggest anyone who has a m113k too get split cooling with extra rad, even on stock sc pulley

[@FluidMotorUnion]

This is really a must if you are into performance. The only con is slightly increased warmup time concerning emissions levels, but that not on anyone’s minds!

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

"Creative" is a kind word to use.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Trying to stay diplomatic out here!

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

@@FluidMotorUnion 👍

[@pandydiy]

I choose VRP kit 🤫

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Two great choices but you can’t really go wrong if you know what you want and are armed with the right info!

[@KaseysYouTubeChannel]

More than one way to skin a Hellcat 😂😂😂🙏

[@jakeclauson9863]

How bout 5.0l power adders? Anything worth buying? Has anyone swapped the the 5.5 into a 4matic chassis, or 4matic into a e55? Would the awd hold up to the extra power?

[@FluidMotorUnion]

The automotive world 5.0 is a ford, probably the coyote, but since this is a amg video I’d have to have you specify in case you’re talking about the m113 5.0 😅

[@LiveDeathWork]

People who say the parody is from family guy are mid… cky and orginal mtv jackass fan approves. Made me rewatch the video lmfao!

[@FluidMotorUnion]

You nailed it...We grew up on Jackass

[@danf1899]

Kinda hilarious he spends most of his time in the video standing in front of a C63 with the M156 while talking about M113k.

[@FluidMotorUnion]

Bro the video is longer than those three minutes 😂

[@HorrorUberAlles]

Lovin' the AMG content! Will you guys tackle the M156 at some point? pretty please, with sugar on top? 🥹
