ok first let me just say: this is not intended to start a flame war, or turbo vs. supercharger debate. Punk8981 is speaking from experiences that a couple of local people have had. they have rrm turbo kits running on stock boost. their internals are worn down, and in need of rebuilding. now we're not saying this is the case with all people, but it DOES sound like a good idea to re-build your internals if you plan to turbo. like someone said "you play.......you pay". turbo rocks! you just have to spend a little more time and money to get it down right. this is just another alternative/option for the lancer community.

 

boosting on 9 PSI? remember your boosting hot air, you may get away with it but after a while you will get new pistons, trust me if you wanna keep your internals stock with the RRM kit you will need to stay on 5-7 to be on the safest side. and you will only get 180-190 WHP with that boost. Its up to you. You cant compare RRM's kit to Ripp Mods SDS Kit a) SDS kit cooler boost b) SDS puts out more power with less mods c) it keeps your engine stock while gettin the most out of it. you cant beat that for the price

 

ok, so i wouldnt have to upgrade my pistons or anything if i went with the supercharger kit?

 

and does anyone here have the RIPPMODS kit installed on there lancer?

 

all you need with the ripp SDS kit is headers, and exhaust.

 

pick of the kit in the new SCC for those of you that subscribe. Also this is definatly a great buy... but i guess what it comes down to is how far you want to go with it all... if all out ***** to the wall power is your goal(drag car) then you probably should go turbo or if you want to do a little power the non-intercooled kit would be good or the basic SDS kit... if you are planning to be somewhere in the mid of the two, for the money SDS is probably the way to go.

 

right on target...

 

so nobody has the SDS kit on here?

 

not to my knowlegde.. i think its still in production, and its in its final stages of developement.

 

There is one guy in NY that has the S/C kit he goes under the name Blazinoz on the forums give him a P/M.

 

but does he have the kit with the larger injectors?

 

ok so the bottom line is that the SC kit will give you (MT drivers) 230whp, with no need for modifications such as pistons, rods what have you? and all for less than 4000? that sounds real good. i might just go ahead and wait for this kit to hit shelves.

 

damn you MT lancers!

 

this will also fit autos so dont get mad

 

i know it will....sniff sniff. but you guys get extra power.
