RIPP MODS SDS supercharger system thread (MERGE)
its just my opinion that the auto transmission won't be able to tolerate this much horsepower especially since when it shifts it won't be like a turbo respooling, all that power will be sitting there waiting to get right on it again, this would be REALLY interesting to see a turbo charged lancer vs. supercharged, great job guys, i hope you can provide factual info about this setup with an auto

Now I've got another big question...eventhough I think I allready know the answer...
By anychance is this thing C.A.R.B. legal??
to some of us in certain states(like me in Calif)...this is important

only reason it took so long was they needed a carb specialist to step up and help (which i finally did as I wanted to turbo my lancer).
I hope that other persue the same path as it makes the upgrade that much better for the whole community

in the third pic i noticed that the adapter plate to the MAS had no relief for the part of the restrictor plate that protrudes. am i seeing this right or did you modify/upgrade the MAS?
why isn't that pipe going into the throttle body mandrel bent? its like a cut 90 degree bend...other then that AMAZING!
also is that 11 psi on the stock motor?? isn't that a little risky with the stock pistons not responding well to high boost?

it looks good so far...wish it had a setup like RRM...but hopefully you guys will get there...i'm not going toge tit till march so we'll see the improveents from there...is the desing of the kit trying to get improved on...and the relocation of the battery im not too hott for...i like RRm's kits for the looks and rippS kit cus its a sc...
it does look funny with the bar running all the way across the engine...
maybe u could set up the S/C so it runs right above the headers...and pipes to the intake maybe? so instead of a long bar u got the S/C'r there etc. just an idea, maybe it wouldn't fit there i can't really tell from the pics. just an idea....
either way it kiks ***

NY State has adopted most, if not all CARB regulations. I'm not saying it's going to happen, and I certainly wouldn't know if it were happening, but if the tuner is from Cali, NY or any other state that has CARB laws, your chances are certainly greatly increased.
I think the TB 90deg piping is like that because it's easier to mount the water/methanol cooling on a flat surface than on a tube...but that's just me. It may have just been a prototype cost cutting/time saving method too.
The straight bar is one of their SDS trademarks if I remember correctly. Actually I think they look quite good in person (at least it did on the 4g64 Galant I saw it on), but the pic does make it look a little awkward.
