RIPP 4G SDS Stage 2

[scheides]

Hahaha! Love the comments boys.

I'm digging that setup Tim! 300+whp on the stage 1, 400whp on stage 2, these are impressive numbers, especially on dyno dynamics! Even if they fudged the numbers a bit (not saying they did) it would still be an impressive amount of power for each stage. How much are these kits?

Tim, your car put down what, ~235whp on the current mods you have? 300whp is really not that far off with forced induction, I mean you have a freaking 3.8L motor under the hood!

Who you callin a boy, boy ;)

Well I went ahead and found it because I know how to use teh google.

The only thing I do not like about the kit is what it expects of the upper radiator hose.

Fine it snakes over the pulley shaft, but does it have to also go right over that mounting bracket? That is just asking for trouble somewhere down the line IMHO.

Looks like a solid kit though, well thought out, nice and simple:

Order it up! I'm sure we can bolt it on in my garage this saturday! ;)

It's interresting how they went about dealing with tuning and needing more fuel.

Adds 1300cc's of fuel....why wouldn't they just include bigger injectors for the stock fuel rail(s)? Also, I don't see this item on the picture above w/ the S/C kit installed, but it is supposedly included?

DSM's are the ultimate race car. That is all.

[polishmafia]

whats the price of this kit? id go to their site, but the firewall at work doesnt like it. i know RIPP made a kit of the galant, but it was like $3500+

edit - lol @ ultimate race car!

that is a nice looking kit/ that would be a lot easer to do than building a turbo kit for you tim

[scheides]

Yup, and with the warranty it comes with you would be in good shape!

With FWD wheel-spin would become an issue, but the car would be a crapload of fun, especially on the freeway!

Christ you guys are gonna run my bank account into the ground telling me you wouldn't mind helping me install it.

The stage 1 kit is $3800. It's dyno'd for some people in the 330 range, but the 1 guy I actually get to talk to on the forum has his tuned conservatively to 311whp.

Stage 2 isn't available yet, i'm also a little wearing because nobody knows exactly how much power our pistons can handle or how long they can withstand the 8psi stage 2 setup.

I think last time I was hangin with you guys I mentioned I am getting more tempted by the day by this kit, but I guess i'm still pretty cold feet on it. I'll keep thinking on it, and it would probably be well into next year before I could afford it + have some money around in case something goes wrong.

" Order it up! I'm sure we can bolt it on in my garage this saturday! ;)"

Keep sayin stuff like that though and I just might. :D

I agree, for value it's probably a better move, and I don't have to worry about trying to find a way to put in an FMIC or anything. Turbo obviously giving me ultimately more power and better traction due to spool time, but I don't really plan on pushing my car THAT hard, I want to see other people do it first so i'm not the guy blowing his shit up testing stuff. So with stage 2 available i'd be comfortable with a conservative tune... and maybe even future EVO drive train swap like Mark always taunts me about, if I REALLY wanted to make it a performer.

I'd sure as hell show the SRT kids whats up. :D

EDIT: Also... if I had to guess at a price I would say minimum 5000ish for the Stage 2. Unless they price drop the Stage 1 a bunch and then price the Stage 2 accordingly. Thats also retail on their website, I don't know if they budge on pricing or not.

Sorry I hate to triple post like a noob but RIPP just made a post on the C4G forums and I thought it was worth reposting here...



YouTube - RIPP 4th Gen Eclipse GT-V6 -AUTO Supercharger Stg 2 400WHP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEKu494vLvw)

Thanks for the heads up post, beat us to it…

Wow... stock internals? Fuck man Lawrence is probably right on in his assumptions that this engine just needs to be unlocked... I hope this turns some heads. 400whp on 8psi?? Fuck thats exciting.


How long do all you think our motors would hold up to that kind of pressure?

hmmm... I'm gonna sound like a prick - but that doesn't really interest me. Supercharger, and 400 is mild in my envisioning. Secondly, stock pistons? Right. Good luck with that. This only gives newbies a lot more to drool about and reasons to jump in hastily.

I'm willing to bet boyo didn't have enough money to drop in to properly build. But yeah - to Tim's point, the stock heads are gold. Imagine how much more if they were opened up properly.

Actually from the tune side of things all looks well, we’ve been testing a stage 2 car set at 387whp since February with no reported problems at all. In fact it never even needed a re-tune. When we put current kits out we make sure all is safe in terms of tune. This car turned perfect EGT’s never coming close to 1200 and the knock sensor never even came close to triggering even after the wickest of beating, I remind you these are dual piazo digital sensors, you can sneeze and they could trigger.

As you can see from the DYNO sheets the Air fuel are always in a safe zone in both hot and cold pass’s. In our opinion based on what we seen, the 4G’s engine is so much stronger than the 3G it isn’t even funny. One sure way is we spin the blower 13000rpm slower to make 8psi. In fact we tuned with a 3G yesterday in stage 3 form (engine build, larger crank pulley smaller SDS pulley and tensioner required…not to mention labor) at 17psi made 380whp…think about it!

Secondly, given the size of the engine 8spi is like stage 1 anyway, the cylinder pressure isn’t anywhere near a smaller displacement engine. Add the methanol from our boost cooler and detonation can nearly be forgotten.

They sound very comfortable with the way the engine is holding up... fuccccccccccckkkkkkk meeeeee i'm excited!!
