Re: 4g!
 

Yeah good point. My fall dyno was the only dyno i've done, so I had no baseline. I should have really done one before I did any mods but I was a cheap ass and decided against it.

Thinking about it with a bit more of a clear head, if I did the Y pipe and cut the cat, and got a tune, that COULD possibly account for the 20-30ish whp I feel that i'm lacking... MAYBE.

I dunno... i'm gonna talk to RIPP and see if I can score some kind of deal, I wanted the long tubes in the first place, but bought the shorties cause a pair of used ones came up and they were half the price of the new ones.

Re: 4g!
 

How much is the RIPP supercharger going to be? Any other dynos by someone else on a different dyno with their supercharger? I guess it's a pretty big motor and the base HP and gains are similar to 2000 Mustang GT with a centrifugal blower.

I don't know WTF that BRAT does or how it does it. They really like to talk in circles about it. It only seems to connector to 1 sensor on the 4G, and it isn't even the main MAF sensor or O2 sensors.

Re: 4g!
 

Supercharger is about 4000. Give or take shipping.

I don't know how the BRAT does what it does, but I know it's only a piggyback.

Re: 4g!
 

Found a deal for 500-600ish for brembo f/r calipers and rotors. I'm second on his list, first deal he said was pending but has been pending for a while, told him i'm ready to pay as soon as he gives the word so hopefully he'll just pass up the other person if they keep him waiting.

Re: 4g!

Looks great man. This is jeff we met at the all-mitsu cookout. I am the guy that you played halo with long time ago. You still have the same rims as me haha and they look good. I have seen the RIPP products before and they have progressed further and further for the good. They were trying to supply the 3s crowd a while ago and I think there were two or three people on 3si that had the setups. I think I remember a dark maroon colored SL that still has it installed. The BRAT box your talking about is supposed to be for newer OBD systems that have the ECU relearn issues. This supposedly tells the computer that it does not need to relearn and also allows you to tune with piggyback. Love the new Tails and Im not sure if you had the halos on the headlights back at the cookout. I think you should keep your exhaust setup and get a high flow cat or straight pipe it/o2 simulators all the way back and then dyno it again and see what you gain.(my opinion) Good luck with the 4G modding hopefully youll get closer to your goals!

Hey Jeff nice to hear from ya!

Thanks for the kind words an advice! Hopefully we can shoot some shit again at the next cookout. :)

Re: 4g!
 

way to go

Re: 4g!
 

Congrats man!

Re: 4g!
 

Yeah hopefully ill have my car sold within the next month and pick up a nice stealth or dsm :-). I know a guy with a 3l swapped CSVT for a good price but I dont know if I can do another FWD car. I hated going from a 300zx to a cougar in the first place lol but thats college. Ill be at the cookout for sure and if ya want to get pics and stuff I can probably make it I have a decent kodak cam too.

Re: 4g!
 

Congrats! I was just thinking last night we should try some car of the month thing here.

Re: 4g!
 

Good work, now maybe you can get some non-STD ladies to want your nuts!

Re: 4g!
 

Gonna need a pro wingman like you fa sho.

Anyways... back to all that drama over the RIPP numbers. Upon further research and what-not, it appears they use a dyno dynamic, but adjust it to match typical dyno jet numbers. So the 20+whp I thought I might have been missing with my headers vs RIPP's headers is probably almost all attributed to the difference between a REAL dyno dynamic and a dynojet.

This ALSO means the RIPP Supercharger is realistically 350ish on say DB's dyno. With my automatic anyway.

Go figure it was a dyno confusion, eh? haha.. seems to always be that.

Re: 4g!
 

350whp on a Dyno Dynamics is still a lot of power!

Re: 4g!
 

Oh yeah, for sure. I didn't mean to kind of play that down, but I dunno... it seems a lot less... amazing? now... more realistic. Basically 90-100whp for $4,000, instead of almost 150whp.

Re: 4g!
 

Is that installed price? Does it come with an intercooler or not?

Re: 4g!
 

come on tim. I can build you a turbo kit with a single pte 50 trim could make that power easy for a ton less money.
