Description
The Whipple W235RF Gen 6 3.8L Supercharger Swap Kit is designed as an upgrade for enthusiasts looking to transition from an existing 3.0L Gen 5 Whipple supercharger system to the more advanced Gen 6 3.8L platform in their 2011-2021 Ford Mustang GT, Boss 302, or Shelby GT350.
This kit leverages updated rotor, bearing, gear, and housing technology to support higher airflow, improved efficiency, and greater power potential. According to Whipple's internal testing, the 3.8L supercharger offers approximately a 6 percent increase in isentropic efficiency over the previous 3.0L model, contributing to enhanced performance.
Included in this swap package are the W235RF Gen 6 3.8L Whipple supercharger head unit, the corresponding 3.8L intercooler and lid setup, and an engine lowering kit essential for clearing the factory hood. It is important to note that this is a swap kit and does not include the supercharger pulley, belt drive system, heat exchanger, cold air intake, throttle body, intercooler reservoir, intercooler pump, or intercooler system hoses. Additional hose routing, fittings, and supporting components may be required depending on the existing setup and desired configuration.
For applications demanding high boost levels (over 18 PSI), Whipple strongly recommends upgrading to a 10-rib belt system. Furthermore, certain intercooler upgrades, such as those for Cobra Jet applications, might necessitate an aftermarket hood due to clearance issues. Buyers are advised to verify their vehicle's year, engine platform, existing Whipple supercharger system, intercooler configuration, hood clearance, boost level, pulley setup, throttle body, intake system, heat exchanger, reservoir, pump, hose routing, calibration, and fuel system requirements before purchase to ensure complete compatibility and proper installation.
