as long as i smoke you ...... its worth it j/k buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuddy . seriously though, its all a part of the hobby.

 

yeah if its snowing out but yeah ur right its all a part of the hobby.

 

i love the hobby of fixing up my car- but makes me wish i had the money to make it worth it, lol.

 

yeah ...... i hear ya. just remember it takes time, nothing happens over night. just gotta keep at it.

 

Just think how fun it will be when you do finally get the money to be able to do what you please. I'm certainly enjoying it... new car in just 7 more days!!! Then I'll be playing with some SERIOUS power.

 

lol ya. I mean, i just ned ot find a good job and get some good cahs and ill be happy. Oh well, hopeflly by mid - end july i'll have my supercharger and working on the install of that.

 

installed my header last weekend at RRM...love the sound and the gain..i can get to 110 no prob...freeway increased my 0-60 amazingly...
one question though...it made my CEL turn on...after reseting the ecu a couple of times....its still on....is there some thing i can do about this?

 

did you get a mil light eliminator put on with it if not thats why i think someone said there like 15-30 bucks

 

I'm still working on the MIL circuit to find one that works. I'll let you know when I do. I currently have the "bigjosh" circuit in on my car and it didn't work. I'll update you when I find out.

IILancer02II. DON'T go supercharger. If it was a twin screw I might say otherwise. But you are just paying for a shaft driven turbo, and plain and simple a turboed car will whomp on the SDS supercharger. Keep in mind that it makes 10 psi PEAK, not across the band. So at 5500 rpms it will make 10 psi, but that says nothing about the low ends etc. A good T28 setup will spool by 2K, so you will have 8 psi from 2K all the way to 6k. Should be pretty obvious which car has the greater area under the curve and thus has more average power.

 

but from what i've heard the sds has more HP for the automatic than the RRM turbo kit.

I konw eventually there will be dyno sheats forr both and perhaps two will race, so then we cna finally see which is better.

 

Is there a dyno posted for the supercharger? I can't find it.. I want to look at it.

 

I think there may be a Syno on their site. If not I know that Ripp was saying that they were going to wait and tweak a few things a little more. Me personally, I would go with the SC over the TC. Actyually I wish I owned 2 Lancer's. One TC and the other SC. Hardcore!

 

no dyno on their site. TC is better.. once I get a hold of their dyno I'll show you why

 

QUOTE Know obviously turbos can be very powerful if done right. the only downside we've seen is that our motors do not take well to average-high boost without some internal work (on turbos). most dont have the money or the time, too much of a hassle, or do not see the point. i think most would agree that it's unpractical to tear apart basically a brand new car, just to prepare it for moderate boost. like most people have bluntly said, "you shoulda' just bought an evo". i think most are TRYING to save a buck or two. so that way they have a fun, reliable car to drive around in, without the high cost. most people/professionals would agree that supercharging is a great way to accomplish this. vortech has had much success with its integra/civic/s2000 kits. they produce great power, with great reliability. dosent matter 4cyl or not. maybe in the past. a major points is ..... what type of kit can produce good horsepower while still being reliable. thats basically what it all comes down to.

i think that the reason is money, and what i posted above.

 

wow .L. u should get a good break for the Ripp's SDS kit.
