Whipple Supercharger WK-2621T-G5 2015+ Shelby GT350 Gen 5 W185RF 3.0L Supercharger "Tuner" Kit / Intercooled / 10-11psi / Black
Whipple continues to stay at the forefront of not only supercharger technology but also automotive technology. When the 2018 Mustang GT specs came out, it flipped their world upside down, quite literally. They created an entirely new supercharger that was upside-down—sort of. We mean upside down in that, opposite of the previous 2017-older Mustang 2.9L superchargers, the intercooler now sat ON TOP of the rotors. This new 3.0L supercharger has dubbed the Gen 5. Why not Gen 1 since it’s...

Whipple continues to stay at the forefront of not only supercharger technology but also automotive technology. When the 2018 Mustang GT specs came out, it flipped their world upside down, quite literally. They created an entirely new supercharger that was upside-down—sort of. We mean upside down in that, opposite of the previous 2017-older Mustang 2.9L superchargers, the intercooler now sat ON TOP of the rotors. This new 3.0L supercharger has dubbed the Gen 5. Why not Gen 1 since it’s an all-new design, you ask??
When the Gen 5 3.0L was released, the 2.9L for the 2015-2017 S550 Mustangs was on Gen 3, proving to be a worthy upgrade from the Gen 1 and Gen 2 setups. On top of that, Whipple already had the Gen 4 rotors in the works, but they knew that they would be retro-fitting the new 3.0L for 2018 onto the older cars since it was proving to be incredibly efficient and make some insane horsepower… hence the Gen 5 name.
Well, the time is NOW. Whipple Superchargers brings you the Gen 5 3.0L supercharger for your 2015-2017 Mustang GT! Featuring the same technology as used in the kits for the 2018+ Mustang, this kit will be sure to make some great power and as available in different stages to suit your needs. Add some boost to your S550 with the latest & greatest from Whipple Superchargers.
What’s new about the Gen 5 besides the intercooler and rotors switching locations? It has all new bearings, gears, rotors and housing that allow the new supercharger to spin faster, longer and safer while producing more power than any other positive displacement supercharger ever built.
The Gen 5 3.0L also features an even larger intercooler than the already massive Whipple Cooler that cooled the Ford Cobra Jets and all the record setting S550 Mustangs. Couple this with the industry's leading heat exchanger, water reservoir and intercooler pump, you get more power with lower boost levels and quicker recovery times after the aggressive operation.
While Whipple broke many rules and records with its record-setting S550 supercharger system, holding the title of the most powerful, most advanced supercharger system available, we weren't satisfied and decided to build an all-new supercharger from the ground up. The stage 1 supercharger system makes *775 flywheels HP and * 630-foot pounds of torque and is offered with an optional three year, 36,000-mile power-train warranty.
The new, direct and port injected supercharger system features the brand new Generation 5 3.0L front feed twin-screw supercharger. Not to be confused with the Gen 3 or 4, all-new supercharger features industry-leading efficiency from idle to redline. All-new bearings, gears, rotors and housing allow the new supercharger to spin faster, longer and safer while producing more power than any other positive displacement supercharger ever built. The new Gen 5 features an all-new 3/4 rotor combination vs previous 3/5, 285 deg helix vs last 270 deg, new bell mouth inlet, optimised discharge port and increased diameter vs length for higher efficiency.
2018 also features an all-new patent-pending triple intercooler design with even more volume and surface area than the already massive Whipple Cooler that cooled the Ford Cobra Jets and all the record setting S550 Mustangs. Couple this with the industry's leading heat exchanger, water reservoir and intercooler pump, you get more power with lower boost levels and quicker recovery times after the aggressive operation.
With years of OEM and racing experience, Whipple engineers have developed a unique PCM calibration that reconfigures all the necessary engine functions including fuel, spark, knock detection, torque management, transmission control and electronic throttle control. The vehicles PCM continuously monitors the engines torque output while monitoring many different parameters to keep the engine in its ideal parameters. If a parameter falls below specification, the PCM will lower boost and torque output until the problem can be cured. No other calibration in the field has such technology, giving the Whipple SC system unheralded performance and reliability. Each Whipple kit comes with unique software and an OBDII flash tool giving the customer the ability to flash/update whenever needed. Each customer also gets the new Flight Control Software, adjusts wheel/axle size, octane adjustment, crank/cam relearn and many other unique features.
Each complete Whipple system comes with the IAT2 harness and sensor to properly monitor the delta between the incoming air and the compressed air after the intercoolers. This helps maximise power in all given environments. The 6-rib billet idler system features a spring-loaded billet tensioner, billet idler pulleys and lightweight pocketed supercharger pulley. The 6-rib can easily be upgraded to a 10-rib with the optional 10-rib system. Each system comes with an adjustable idler pulley to allow variance in SC pulleys with minimal belt length changes. The massive 150mm Roval inlet allows for nearly any throttle body to be run, 80mm stock, 132mm or 150mm throttle bodies.
Leaving no stone unturned, Whipple's revolutionary system for the Ford 5.0L Coyote engines is truly resetting the standards of supercharging. With its massive front feed inlet, typical inlet inefficiencies are a thing of the past. They are featuring the all-new groundbreaking, Gen 5 inverted supercharger with the patent-pending triple intercooler technology.
Other positive displacement superchargers sacrificed plenum volume and runner size. At the same time, Whipple engineers used every square inch available to open the manifold volume, allowing for future expansion of power levels. Small runner and small volume manifolds cause excess boost "build-up" giving you manifold pressure, not proper cylinder pressure. This results in high boost, low power scenario's with excess heat from the lack of sound flowing air volume.
Whipple didn't just stop there. Knowing that the Coyote motors love boost, Whipple’s team squeezed in not one, but three high-density intercooler cores featuring variable thickness to maximise airflow and cooling capacity. The triple coolers allow for maximum surface area to promote the equal distribution and increased cooling. Cooler air equals denser air which equals more power at each boost level while being safer on engine components.
The bigger intercooler alone wasn’t enough, in previous generations, the supercharger discharge was typically too far forward from the intercooler core, and sandwiched so close to the core on top that the core’s surface area was not properly utilised. With the new 3.0L Gen 5, Whipple was able to increase the volume and distance above the intercooler core, as well as doing the same below. This issue, like some of our competition, increases the “boost” in the manifold, but not at the valves and combustion chamber. This means high boost, low power and high discharge temps. Whipple’s front feed system has a rear discharge port at nearly the centre of the IC core. Whipple’s design utilises almost the entire intercooler core through countless CFD analysis, resulting in less pressure drop and cooler temps for increased power levels.
Another great feature to the Whipple Coyote kits is the oversized heat exchanger, nearly 150% more volume than the competition, giant aluminium intercooler reservoir and optional dual fan kit. The oversized heat exchanger is almost the engine radiator's size, giving incredible cooling capacity for daily driving, drag racing or road racing. Get the dual Spal fan kit option and increase the airflow over the heat exchanger. The Whipple large aluminium reservoir is again a unique feature included with every kit. The aluminium reservoir is remotely mounted in the driver side inner fender, keeping it in the cool area away from engine heat, along with having over 1.2 gallons of capacity in the reservoir alone! Giving the intercooler system well over 2 gallons of capacity. This means cooler air temps, less heat soak and more power!
