RIPP 4G SDS Stage 2

[X Factor]

The changes are:
Smaller SDS pulley
Boost cooler (meth)
Tune
Cooler plugs

[TkrPerformance]

for the money go with the stage 1 get a meth kit for that

Holy low end torque! Can we say wheel spin??? hahaha. I understand the boost won't come on that hard, but with ~225 torque at 2400 rpm in a fwd car, I think the tires would be a litle inclined to spin.

Can you tweak the auto to launch from 2nd or rev limit somehow in 1st gear to help with traction? IDK. It would be a blast on the street but track would be tough it seems.

Everyones got an Evo now days. Stick with the 4G so we can see what they're made of!

[Shane@DBPerformance]

They just need an AWD 4G.

[X Factor]

It would've been nice. Can only hope the next generation will have it though, they won't be doing anything radical with the 4G. The new SE was their last lame attempt to the 08 model. It wasn't really lame but there was nothing truly significantly good.

Wow, I can say that I would be *very* interested in a 400whp, supercharged 3.8L AWD coupe!

[TkrPerformance]

is the 3.8 a narrow or wide block. The evo rear end will go in easy but the evo tranny not to sure with the 3.8

[X Factor]

I'm too much of a noob to know the difference. :(

How does the fuel system work out? I know you guys just add the 2 additional injectors, but how is the reliability on that? Instead of just replacing the stock fuel system?

Since you brought up SRT 4's, their stage 3 kit fully replaces the stock fuel injectors, fuel rail, and fuel pump.

It also costs about the same. Not trying to point fingers, but they seem to be getting more for their money, with somewhat same performance. (stage 1 SDS vs their stage 3 turbo kit.)

Mostly just asking about the reliability and stuff of adding 2 injectors vs upgrading the stockers, I don't even know what the stockers are capable of."

The stock injectors are map-able to about 3psi then as boost comes up we pulse the supplementals in. When we do our initial testing we monitor exhaust temps on each cylinder to make sure the intake manifold equally distributes the extra fuel properly. In this case it does so beautifully. Reliability has been 100% so far, we've been supplying this set up for 3 years and its proven to be the most user friendly keeping all things in consideration:

Power
Cold start
In traffic performance
Gas mileage
Engine longevity
Tuning
Ease of installation
Probability of things going wrong
We've been in the SRT4 world for about three years now, we have a RIPP Turbo kit coming out for that in 2008.

The Stage 3 "R" produces 310whp on pump gas and 360whp on race gas. We've seen it on the DYNO at least 20 times. If you add a good waste gate to it in creeps up to 380ish! But remember that car comes with Force induction and 225whp stock. As an N/A car you guys are "supposed" to spend more. The example was just an exercise in performance per dollar is comparison to what we see. We've installed headers, air filter and ECU tuned a new ZO6 and it made 549whp... but thats $70-80k BRAND new lol.

Does this seem legit? Anyone know anything about additional injectors being reliable and stuff?/
