RIPP 4G SDS Stage 2

[X Factor]

RIPP is working on their Stage 2 Supercharger and they put up a video here on 8psi... making some pretty damn good power on 8psi and stock internals (I think).

Nice! Just need AWD then. Any word on longevity of the stock internals yet?

Not bad power at all for only 8 psi :)

I still don't think anyone has even taken the motor out of the car yet. They are basically just now doing these tests on the stage 2, so there is almost nothing for proof of longevity yet.

Stage 1 which runs like 4psi has been on some cars for a good 6 months... but i've hardly seen any dyno results and 0 track results from the 20 or so people who have it. 4G scene is pretty slow going so far. :frown:

Thus is the life of a stock NA motor I guess.

I'd really love to see what the potential of the 4G is. It has great styling and saved us from the 3G. Hope to see more soon.

I'll try and update this forum with all the 4G info I can! Maybe I should start a thread or something... hmm.

ill just say this, coming from a 8G (my body style) galant owner. they came out in 99, and there was NO aftermarket support until mid to late 01.

now we have guys with the mostly stock i4s boosted pushing 250+, evo swaps pushing 300+, supercharged v6s pushing 400.

give it time, it'll happen. :)

evo swaps = 300? who cares, its an evo motor thats where it should be.

It looks like with time some people will turn everything into a sports car.

no shit? really? :P

considering those people who bought the car and stock hp to the wheels is 110-120, a swap to 300 hp in a galant isnt too bad in my opinion.

i guess i should apologize for everyone (imports, domestics, cars, trucks, vans, even little turboed scooters) who didnt buy a DSM and wants to make their car put down more power than it came with. :violin:

What kind of attitude is that? My galant came with a 4G64, so does that mean it doesn't belong under the hood of a DSM? There are some parts that are interchangable between our motors, and I don't see any harm in that. Not everyone wants the same thing, so to each their own when it comes to picking their platform.
