While perusing the web I stumbled across this cool website for those that like to modify how about this..

http://www.rippmods.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=2007%2DSDS%2D1

I am thinking of using my own ideas but in a similar fasion.

 

i think another company cam out with a super charge as well

interesting to see it in action

 

Seems like a lot of money for 35+ hp.

 

It's more like 80+ HP according to their dyno plots.

Only thing that conserns me is the plots start at 3k Id like to see them from Idle up.

I also find the INCREASE in milage very hard to believe with a SC installed. Must be some pretty trick computer work.

 

to many problems with ripp. I know several people who have the ripp mods sds system, to many damn problems.

 

Thats why I would rather build my own SC out of a Turbo modifing the exhhaust fin shaft to except a small pulley that can be applied to the existing belt using the space between the engine and radiator area. plenty of space and would seem easy to fabricate an adjustable mounting bracket to fit in there. I figure using about 5-10 psi boost would be more then suffecient however I don't have access to a dyno so thats gonna be a prob tunning it in to make the best power curve but hey trial and error is always a good thing lol... Hypertech pcu will help manage the fuel delivery but theses are all ideas rattling in my head. Well like I said an Idea...

 

We are running the ADVENTURE INNOVATIONS Super Charger.
I love it, they are getting an 81hp gain at the rear wheel.
Installation is straight forward and the power is great.
I have had it on for 1200 miles and the vehicle is fun to drive on the street again.

 

Which is what is known as a centrifical supercharger, like the RIPP and Hesco units.

 

evolution... are you running stock programming, or have you got a tuner? I run the Hesco and love it. The only problems I've had relates to tunning, Chrysler must have some tough stuff for tuners to deal with in the ECU. I have run stock programming, Unichip custom programming for SC and am now running a custom flash from B&G Performance out of Warren, Michigan. It is working well with a few exceptions, I have high rev pinging (even after I had them pull more timing out) I can only get 91 octane here. The other is dieing at high (6 psi) boost and throwing a check engine light (can't remember what code it throws). As long as I don't stand in it, the quirks don't affect it much. I couldn't go back to normally aspirated after driving it for about 17,000 miles with it on.

Saw the Ripp one this past weekend, very nice setup. I didn't get a chance to drive it though. Here are some pics of their rig.
