RIPP 4G SDS Stage 2

[scheides]

Hrm, seems to run a little lean, anyone else back me up on this? Or maybe because it's such low boost it doesn't matter....

So what's teh difference between stage1 and stage2? add a meth kit and more boost? different pulley? Xfactor, did you order one yet?!?! ;)

I guess it's actually just a reconfiguration of the Stage 1....

"This is the RIPPMODS Supercharger Drive System (SDS) being tested for the first time in Stage 2 form. Stage 2 has additional fuel adders our Black box and BRAT engine management. We added our RIPP Boost Cooler, Meth injection system. Producing an impressive 400WHP at 8psi this kit will be our entry level system. This test was performed with the RIPP headers in place and the addition of a 3.0" exhaust and no cat."

Why not just sell the 4g, and put that money for the SC into buying an evo. ;) You're car is still auto, and im sure it wouldnt like that added power too long.

I just got pricing info from RIPP... 4200 for the stage 2.

Holy shit, piezo knock sensor, that is some advanced shit! And quoting EGTs!

Anyways, I will quit being an ass.

That kit would actually be better traction wise compared to a turbo, supercharges like that don't make instant boost like a roots or twin screw. They make max boost at max RPM. A turbo would come on much harder and could reach max boost by 3000RPMs instead of 7200RPMs. They must be doing something right to still be making their kits. The first ones for 3Gs were a mess and detonation nightmare, but that was before the "Black Box".

If we are going to use that logic I may as well just skip all the BS and get a Porsche then right?

Good attitude! Save up, we'll install this kit on your car in the spring! :D

MMMM... Supercharger lag. As Shane said, probably better for traction anyways.

Side note, I can only imagine the ECU is capable of being flashed like an EVO’s, I wonder how long it will be before people crack the code.

Umm no... I guess stick all the money you want into the car, I could care less. Just makes more sense to start with an evo and actually have power, handling, manual tranny, easy upgrades.. etc.

But a Porsche would be a good upgrade. :)

Nah I mean I understand your point... and I understand at the same time that I am driving a sport coupe. But i've already redone the suspension and put a decent amount of time into it, other then possibly building the engine up a little to have it tailer made for boost something like this is almost the only logical next step if what my goals are include more power.

I guess my motives stretch much further then just power though, I went for the 4G because of the looks. I actually held an EVO in one hand and held the 4G in another and weighed my options, and I decided I wanted the comfort and style the Eclipse had. I like the EVO body and all, but I have to say in my own opinion I like the 4G much better for looks and comfort.

But of course, since buying my car (at it is my first step into the modding world) I got bit by the performance bug.

I'm not jumping on board with this project yet, but currently, after looking at it for 6 months now and not really considering, with the new developments my mouth is watering a little.

Plus I would take a huge hit if I sold my car, I would be lucky to break even on my loan.
