I have managed to get my hands on a works 140. It should be shipped out here shortly. i was just curious as to who has been doing most of the tuner work for them. I assume it to be sal, but i was just curious. Also does anyone know of anywhere i can get rotors for one. The case and rotors are a 2300 whipples. i have been told that you can't buy just the rotors. If so i know some one had to make these rotors.

thanks

Sal PSP....

 

your lookin at 2300 min. cost to replace!

Wipple is the only place that has the rotors you need!

I talked to whipple and they said 1850. I know i can have the rotors built by ga hightech. I just need to get the dimensions. Where can i find the dimensions.

 

Dude, you can't just "get the dimensions" for twin screw rotors. Unlike a roots -- even a twisted lobe Eaton design -- the twin screw rotors are about the most mathematically complicated solid form imaginable. The radiuses constantly vary from end to end. Plus, even if you could somehow "get the dimensions," they are likely protected as trade secrets anyway.

Even though twin screws have been around for decades, you never saw them on the market until recently. Why? CNC machines. Without CNC machines, the rotor machining was prohibitively expensive, complicated, and unreliable.

Yeah, if you got the CNC computer file, you could probably run them on the right mill. But I can't imagine that the files are anything but a well-kept secret.

I would get out the VISA and send it to Whipple.

 

you must have bought sals off ebay.

thats a big 10-4
Oh well. Guess I better start calling either wipple or lyshome.

 

I just checked it out on eBay. Why not just put it on and run it until it breaks? The intercooler core should stop any junk from getting in the engine. Have you already tried to run it?

It's kinda scary that a $4,000 blower that can't have more than a few thousand miles looks like crap already, prototype or not.

 

Tim the blower he has is NOT the blower that came with the Works intake and adapter. That is a blower that Sal put on it. I know because the intake and adpater was mine at one time, and it went from me to Sal without a blower. That intake and adapter is the first one ever made.

It (the above intake and adapter) was replaced by an intake and adapter that included a by pass, was improved to allow more firewall clearance, and access to mounting bolts and plugs. I shipped it sans blower to Sal.

 

As Steve pointed out, I did not get that Whipple unit from Works or Whipple. I bought the 2300 AX Whipple from a local guy who had it on a Prowler. When he split the block in half, he took it off and sold it. I was told it had little use, but nevertheless it was a second hand unit. It worked great until the crank snappage. My guess is the sudden motor locking at 5k may have tweaked the rotors together. It did still function fine after that. I ran it like that with the fresh motor, and ran 11.0s off spray, and 10.51 on a small shot at Cecil last year. So it did still work fine, I just sold it "as is" because I could not say for sure how long it would last.

As for replacing the hear unit, I called Whipple and they told me you could not buy the rotors seperate, and I had to buy a unit, for $2300.

 

$1,500 + $2,300 is still not a bad deal for what is now a rare part.

 

Isn't that what they were brand new (if you could get one)?

i paid sal 3850 for mine but then again mine was never made. From what i hear the 140 is not longer being made.

 

Give ya 1800 for it right now, no questions asked...just do it my friend!!! email me!!!!
