RippMods offering groupbuy on SuperCharger
if this S/C can be used on an auto lancer there is a 100% chance that i will get one. because....
1. its faster than a averge turbo
2. cheaper than a averge turbo
3. doesn't cause as much wear and tear as a average turbo
4. it has a WARRENTY!!!
if any of my claims are false, please feel free to correct them.

lol don't worry 02lancer i'm 19 and can't get jack **** either. i' gonna apply for a credit card soon.use it to get some headers and a bettter exhaust inorder to build up my credit. and at the same time i am building my credit i'm getting stuff to make my future S/C kit better. and hopefully if i get good credit history i can get a loan by the time i am done with my bolt ons.

no, i think RIPPS def knows what they are doing, the only thing for the non-local guys is to find a shop that knows what the hell they are doign with that water/methanol injection, gotta find a speed shop, and even then i could probably tell you they wouldnt be 100% familiar
yeah ill be 19 this sunday(the 25th)
i'd love right now just to have wheels and tinted windows, let alone an intake/exhaust lol
think rippmods would take monthly payments?
lol as for staying up late...i do almost every night...even though i have to wake up in 3-4 hours to goto school...oh well lol college sucks anyways...i already know everything they are teaching me...sucks when u correct the 'professor' because he doesn't know what hes doing

lmao. man it would be awesome if they had monthly payments. so far all i have is on my car is a reflective mirror tint, universal exhaust, and SRI as of tommorow. I'm gonna use my tax refund for an evo 7 wing, and then get some headers by this time next month. and hopefully is i have extra i can get a full magna flow cat back exhaust from RRM. after that is S/C saving time. man i hope i can get a loan or something.
or i hope i hook up with this one girl thats a model. she makes like 4k a month. so i hope she blows a paycheck or 2 on me. hehe.
sorry about my slow responses. i' watching the replay of the rockets game on espn.

HowStuffWorks:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TURBOCHARGER AND A SUPERCHARGER ON A CAR'S ENGINE?
Let's start with the similarities. Both turbochargers and superchargers are called forced induction systems. They compress the air flowing into the engine (see How Car Engines Work for a description of airflow in a normal engine). The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine stuff more air into a cylinder. More air means that more fuel can be stuffed in, too, so you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbo/supercharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging.
The typical boost provided by either a turbocharger or a supercharger is 6 to 8 pounds per square inch (psi). Since normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level, you can see that you are getting about 50-percent more air into the engine. Therefore, you would expect to get 50-percent more power. It's not perfectly efficient, though, so you might get a 30-percent to 40-percent improvement instead.
The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is its power supply. Something has to supply the power to run the air compressor. In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does. A turbocharger, on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream. The exhaust runs through a turbine, which in turn spins the compressor (see How Gas Turbine Engines Work for details).
There are tradeoffs in both systems. In theory, a turbocharger is more efficient because it is using the "wasted" energy in the exhaust stream for its power source. On the other hand, a turbocharger causes some amount of back pressure in the exhaust system and tends to provide less boost until the engine is running at higher RPMs. Superchargers are easier to install but tend to be more expensive.

basically i wanna get some sort of forced induction but lack the funds. to be honest s/c isn't really the rout to go if your running a 4 banger like us. we lack the power to use it throughout the powerband. thats why the dyno graphs would look the same, beacuse it sucks up the power in the low end and gives it back in the high end. a turbo on the other hand just gives you power at 2.5 grand. i would take the turbo over the sc and day. plus i like the sound of a turbo a lot more than the sc. a nice whistle and blow off valve or just a big tornado under my hood. that would get old. not try'n to plug away for rrm but in their defense a turbo if done correctly won't wear down the engine. its when people get boost happy that the engine says no more and stops.

RIPPMODS Lancer Release
Hello
My name is Joe C. and I am in charge of sales and marketing for Ripp Modifications. For those of you who stay current with Ripp Modifications news already know that our lancer kit has just been given the ultimate upgrade. We have switched to larger injectors and given our Black Box (completely reprogrammable a/f management system/piggy back ecu unit) the most aggressive tuning it has ever seen. Before this upgrade our kit was producing 208whp @11psi. There was a snow storm in NY so we weren’t able to get the car to the Dyno as of yet. We will be updating the public shortly.
We will be launching various marketing campaigns comparing our SDS Lancer to the stock Lancer Evolution. The comparison will prove to be VERY appealing to Lancer owners
