RIPP Modifications made a supercharger for the lancer! There is an article in SCC on page178. They made a whole kit that puts out like 247 hp. Anyone else here about this? Check it out at www.rippmods.com.

 

interesting, seems like a good product but a supercharged lancer? that seems weird. also can our engines take the added stress of the pully's I mean my car looses massive amounts of power just from flicking on the A/C?

 

Something to look into and ask them about. Always worth looking into.

 

i didn't see the article but it's not the first time i've heard about it. search and ye shall find.

rippmods...from what i have heard is already developing stage 2 for the lancer

 

old news, but its cool they got into the mag

 

lol, add a supercharger and u get 247hp....and ur complaining that our engines cnat take the 'stress'

fyi...the supercharger is set to 11psi...on STOCK internals...not even upgraded Pistons....they were at 207ish whp, but the injectors couldnt flow fuel fast enough, they upgraded them and tuned more and eeked out i guess another 40hp...not bad

 

i heard they had the wheel hp between 230 and 240 whp. which equals.....evo speed.

 

someone will come in here now and argue about the 230 - 240 whp being "evo speed"

Way to open up that can of worms

So I'll clarify it before it gets out of hand.

If neither car has ANY traction problems (which is unlikely given our 2wd no LSD), if they weighed the same, if the torque curve was equivalent for area and peaks etc, and all physical paramters were more or less equivalent, then yes indeed that would be EVO speed. But the traction in and of itself may make the Lancer still slower than the EVO, you can't use power you can't put to the ground.

****... for almost 4g's... i guess that's worth the money man... plus it doesn't have turbo lag..... hey u guys think ripp's sc and rrm's tc would be compatible?

 

skidd12, you don't want to go there. SC and TC together is pretty much a waste of time and money, go with one or the other. Unless you have plenty of both that is!
And to 2nd what was said earlier, the torque curve for the sc is really going to lag at low rpm's. That's were your factor of the extra pulley comes into play. With virtually low to no boost at idle and it's drawing power from the engine just to run it.
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great system and am seriously contemplating it, but you guys need to do a little research on sc before you post "evo power". Unless stage 2 does what they say it will! Then it'll be all about the hole shot.

 

Compared to superchargers that are available for other sport compacts $4,000 seems like a lot of money. Granted you can spend $10,000+ on a supercharger for a BMW, but Honda turbo and superchargers seem to be a bit cheaper. To dump $4,000 into a $15,000 car is a bit much. If you have $4,000 of expendable cash laying around you should probably go out and finance an EVO. Secondly, the resale value of an EVO will be a lot better than a supercharged OZ. Not that it wouldn't be cool to have a forced induction US Lancer.

 

Simple economics:
Supply and Demand

You can't spit without hitting a honda: therefor mor parts for honda therefor cheaper.

Lancer is on the other side of the spectrum

 

well true our traction sucks big time. so i guess its not evo power. but hey at ripps web site they were gonna race a sds lancer vs. a stock evo. we'll see whats up then. if traction mods are not done to the lancer it would probably lose.

 

I think its a great idea - I am still deciding on what i wanna do with my car. I definatly want a faster car than now... which leaves plenty of options

Evo
Ralliart
OR i want to supercharge my ES.

Once i get 5 grand i will make my decision on what to do, and when it comes close, i will be asking you guys.

But atleast now we have more than one option for a place to go for Forced Induction, not that i dont like RRM, its always good to have more than one so they can compete and we get the best prices
