New Edition to the RIPP SDS Lancer Family
I finally got to the track today. I only took 1 run because I got there at 3:30. 5 speed, street tire, 90 degrees and 6 psi. 15.6 @ 88 mph with alot of wheelspin. I think I can get a low 15 when I learn how to launch it better. I probably won't go back until I get the 10 psi pulley and water injection.
i just spent 3 days installing the stage 2 kit from ripp mods and today i removed it !!!!!!! nothing but problems !!!!!! spuddering backfires and totally had a bad miss and the injectors were 1/2 inch linger than stock !!!!!!!! whats that ? im lookin to get my $ back !!!!!!! anyone wana talk about it e mail me at bigvinx@comcast.net
Yes the injectors are longer, push on the fuel rail and the bolts go right in. When I first started my car it did the same thing. My 02 sensor wire was in the wrong place. I'll email you my phone # and maybe I can help you through it.
I only took one pass and had alot of wheelspin. I can definateley get it down to a low 15, just look at the mph. Launching the car is totaly different now. I used to sit at 3500 rpm and drop it pumping the gas a little. My best pre-sc is a 16.4 on a 40 degree night.
hmmm 15.8, is about 180-200hp at the crank not 160...on 2nd thought what does a stock ralliart run in the 1/4. compare those two's hp and 1/4 ratings to figure out what ripps non IC kit gives u at 6psi.
Ralliarts are already cracking into the 14's with NA setups... there are actually two to have done this. Thus you really can't place the lancer in that catagory at all in my opinion.
I will say that a 15.6 at 88 isn't impressive but the temp and only 1 pass make it hard to see any real data. At 6psi non-intercooled you should be easily 15.2 or 15 flats on street tires. That is what the turbo non-ic's are pulling and SC is supposed to be better right??
Fkrzo... for only one run you did well. At least your posting something which is more than i can say for others. Thanks bigtime for that. Just pushing down on the fuel rail isn't right though... doesn't RIPP tell you how to modify or supply you guys with some sort of realignment parts. I know "you know who" does for their stage 2 setup. It shouldn't be different for the RIPP setup. Also can you elaborate on your o2 sensor issue as there shouldn't be an issue with those that i could see. Unless the black box of RIPP's splices into that wire? Thanks again your post was well needed and much wanted for a long time now. Way to represent

The injectors are longer but fit perfectly in the rail. There is no modifying of the fuel system at all. Once you place the injectors in the rail, you need to push them into the head, then bring down the bolts slowly and evenly.
The sputtering could be a number of things, if the O2's are not hooked up properly, the system will no longer be running as it should. If the ECU see's false numbers coming from the O2' it can richen/lean the tune accordingly.
We've installed several SDS kits on the Lancer platform, all turn key upon the completion of the install. I would say there is a problem there, but it's difficult to pin point without more info.
Feel free to come by the shop any time, and we can help you out....
15.6@88.... NOT BAD.... but the launch will kill you... as soon as boost comes on the car will spin through first, and second, killing your quarter mile times.... also if the boost cooler was in there you would gain more HP up top, helping you "pull" the quarter mile down after your spinning launch...
We've found the best way to launch these cars is by slipping the clutch out hard through first and second gear.
None the less, as Boe stated, it's a start, and hey we all have to start some where, in this case Fkrzo, bested his time by nearly a second, so he's on his way to a 14 second run....
I agree with Fkrzo, a 90mph trap speed is a solid 14sec run... on stock tires, clutch, and exhaust that’s not bad, all things considered.
