This is definitely a question for RIPP, since I had mine installed and couldn't answer for you.

Not much to chime in with on my end, the weather is terrible here so I haven't been able to enjoy the JK and the SC much, plus I've been screwing around with the MyGig for a few days and now waiting on my reordered parts to arrive, to get that sorted out.

 

I'm no help either. We disabled my meth kit today and the S/C has never run better.

 

I asked and Ripp had responded that a good start was on at 2 psi and set the full at about 1 o'clock position, which I translated to 5-6 psi

Personally mine is set this way... but living in Florida I couldn't find the recommended mix, so I am really starting to experiment with this.

 

How about you BOV's? How many threads showing? Just trying to find a good place to start. Don't really have access to a Dyno.

 

I just redid my BOV to 3 threads showing, as per RIPP's instruction to bring the noise down a bit.

Can anyone tell me what exactly more or less threads does or impacts?

 

I would like to know also. What can be adjusted to control the output of the supercharger. What effect does the adjustment have on performance, fuel economy?

 

Well, weather is still lousy, but I did manage to get out and drive around to grab some lunch. I took the long way, just to drive it a bit more, since I haven't gotten behind the wheel much in the last few days with the weather being so gray and rainy.

With the GPS on the MyGig not working yet, I don't know how my speed is, since I've undone the battery cables several times, I've actually wondered if that had any effect on the AEV procal settings. I'm guessing it didn't, but the reason I'm not sure is because running up hills now, I get up to speed so quick I really thought my speedo was off. I have been wondering if pulling the cables repeatedly is going to mess with the computer and require it to "relearn" that the supercharger is there and effectively restart my break in period, but so far no chimes or complaints from the computer.

Everything seems to be running smoothly and it functions as it did before the SC, with the exception of course being the difference in sound and power. So two weeks in and it still gets a big thumbs up. I wish I had more to report, but between the rain and the mygig I haven't had a chance yet to take any video or get a decent 0-60 time as some people have asked for.

 

This is a great place to start and seems to be the happy medium with everyone – in fact after teching the last 100 kits or so we are adding this setting to the instructions.

This is actually really good news – there had to be a viable answer to your rigs inconstancy. The answer was maybe in the mixture – or the bum controller. Let’s put more miles on it and see how it holds up.

Two things we can do after this is put a LED on the GREEN 12v output wire and run it inside and see when it triggers to determine if it’s a controller or mix issue.

Yes – as per the instructions – it states the BOV relives the boost and air surge when you close the throttle body. This allows 2 things to happen 1) you don’t dead head the blower and over heat the impeller, ultimately killing it and 2) reliving the pressure in the piping and allowing vacuum to build in the intake manifold.

By bringing the adjustment down your moving the rate in which it dumps the boost off (fast or slow) – your keeping more boost in the pipes for a longer time making the driving an bit less rubber-bandy and easier to roll on and off the throttle or in and out of boost.


Sorry guys – we are working on the TJ instructions as kits are starting to roll out to pre-production clients Time gets away from us

Ive been talking to the local speed shop about the Ripp SC. I hope to do this someday.

 

Well, I finally finished off the tank of 87 and moved it up to premium. I was pleased with how it ran on 87, but there does seem to be an improvement with the 93. This weekend we actually managed a couple days of sunshine and I got to get out and enjoy it. No chimes, limp mode, etc. All just a great Jeep driving experience, with the added fun of the supercharger. I feel confident that it's pretty well broken in now and I'm going to work on getting some video and the 0-60 times, etc... Hopefully, we'll have more than an isolated day of sunshine (it's already overcast again here). I still need to decide on guages and install them. I'll feel better once I can closely monitor everything. Also on my to do list this week is to head over to the dyno shop and talk to them about spending an hour or so running it on the dyno.

Other than saying I'm really pleased so far with the purchase I don't have much else to offer up. I'll probably finish up this review around day thirty with my final thoughts, etc.
