How can you up PSI on RIPP Supercharger?

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 03:08 PM

Is there anyway to up the boost on a RIPP Stage 2 kit or is it stuck at 8psi forever? Smaller pulley or what? The stage 2 added 100hp but adding a methanol cooler and a under pulley...what else can be done to pump more air in? on a turbo you can change the waste gate spring of boost controller...what can be done in a supercharger if anything? Are they that limiting??

the only thing that is introduced from the stage 1 s/c to the stage 2 s/c is a smaller pully and the belt to go with it.other than that its pretty much what it is.

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 04:00 PM

and the water/alcohol cooler and spark plug...but after all that what's next or are they stuck at 8psi forever?

They also added two fuel injectors and the OBD II translator. This is taken from the ripp site: "The small shaft pulley alone will deliver 9-11psi on SDS system, when combined with the stock crank pulley. When this pulley is combined with the RIPP Billet Crank pulley this can produce up to 22psi."

There could be a smaller pully than stage 2, thing is you would then have upgrade internals.I have stage 1 and the pully is big stage 2 is just a bit smaller.So i know it could even go smaller for more than 8 psi.

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 05:40 PM

the extra injectors come with the stage one and tuners package. That best is also included in stage one. The only difference is that undershaft pulley and the methonal injector system. So is stage 2 at 11psi with that underpully? And that crank pulley isn't out for out car. And to jump to 22psi would need 1000's in internal work...is there a way to control the boost with a supercharger.

omar123 · September 29th, 2008, 05:56 PM

If you get tage 2 you will be happy with it.Im happy with mine so far its working good,as for a waste gate for supercharger i havent seen it so i would know what to tell you.

spyder8213 · September 29th, 2008, 06:00 PM

Those would be questions for ripp. I'm only looking to go Stage 2 on my GS, but ripp won't answer me if they will set one up for me or not. So far, that's 2 places that haven't answered me if they will build me a turbo and one who won't answer about the supercharger. Soon to have the funds, but can't find anyone to build me a reliable kit. Kinda pisses me off. Only if RRE was closer to me....

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 06:07 PM

Well there obviously no wastegate on a supercharger but I was wondering if you can control the boost like it does or is it just pullies? I have the turbo kit still fir the GS...

spyder8213 · September 29th, 2008, 06:10 PM

If you still have it in Jan/Feb you got a buyer. I know you want it gone sooner, but good luck with this sucky economy. You still have all the electronics and everything for it?

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 06:11 PM

Any shop can build you a kit...I didn't mine all in my own buy the down pipe and the shop just cleaned it up and made it more reliable. If you're in the Cali area I'm sure there's many shops that can do it. The only thing you really need is the manifold then rest is easy but the tuning. Buy again I still have my kit for the gs. There's a guy saying he'll have the money late oct but I don't know if he will.

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 06:13 PM

I have it all. I starting for scratch with the gt. That's so far away...killing me

spyder8213 · September 29th, 2008, 06:22 PM

If I was in Cali I would be going to RRE. I'm stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY and was gonna give it to IPS, but they never got back with me. Only reason I would go SDS is to avoid the tuning headache with a turbo. SDS is set for plug and play more or less. And a stage 2 is all the more I would probably go. Only if Ripp gets back with me though.

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 06:28 PM

ripps in new York. There's a shop in flordia that did meckones kit...

spyder8213 · September 29th, 2008, 08:33 PM

IPS got back with me and said to call them. While the GT was first brought up to them, they will take any 4G that they can get.

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 09:10 PM

yeah I thought they would he was excited to to mine

spyder8213 · September 29th, 2008, 09:21 PM

Yeah, he said to call him about time frames and expectations. 300 hp is my goal, so hopefully all works out.

TwilsonD7 · September 29th, 2008, 09:33 PM

that's going to take internal work which you're going to have to put the money. My kit and rre's wesco pistons for $540 can put you near 15 psi and well over 325. Rods cams springs retains port and polish well over 400.
