Default How to winterize a whipple blown motor?

How do I fog my whipple EFI blower?

I was going to fill up my raw water side of the cooling (closed loop, so only oil and heat exchangers, exhaust and intercooler) with antifreeze and let it sit.

Anything else?

Are you running a Merc 525EFI fitted with a Whipple Charger on a "Closed Loop Cooling System " ????

His sig says 454 . I e-mailed dustin and asked the same question. Winterize the engine as per normal. make sure the intercooler is free of water. Compressed air works good, and then some antifreeze. Thats what I was told. This is on an hp500efi.

Basically drain the cooling system, hoses & intercooler. Flush with antifreeze & make sure fuel system is treated. Also as far as fogging you can pull the plugs & fog each cylinder individually if you are in doubt....
