so what are you saying? you want one of us to donate the car or are you just letting us know that a kit is in the process of being made by them?

[Tsukai240]

they should gust buy a 240, then develope the charger. i might give them a car if they hook he up with the system for free. thats right, A FREE SUPERCHARGER INSTALED IN MY CAR!!!!! gready corprate scum:pface

[tar0icy_w/tapioca]

i wouldn't mind putting my 240sx up for experiment if i get to keep it after, cuz i know it'll work for sure, just the matter of how well

[RedHatchback]

Hey,if they make a supercharger for our cars,I'll surely be the first in line to get one.

[stash420sx]

did i read that right? they want 4g from ya and your car for a month?

[drifter_for_life06]

yep. my car is NTO gonanb e donated. i dontsee why they dont buy a junker for like 800 : /

[sleepyRPS13]

this is ole

i have beat up 90 fb that has still 63k miles just sitting on my garage but too its far im at cali

i think those guys were on funk master flex show

[rem240sx]

I had seen that site like 2 months ago and when I read 4k out of my pocket for them to design something to it I laughed, hmmm 4k equals almost SR professionally installed decently or hmmm 4k for it to be used as a guinea pig, hmmmm tough call.....NOT.

RIPP if you read this I got a 98 with 50k miles willing to come to you and allow it to be used for official guineage, but not for $4,000 email me. LOL

[drifter_for_life06]

4k is a SR installed

[rem240sx]

Sleepy yes they were on there that is where I first saw them so I signed onto their site, respectable power gains for most cars, insane outputs for some of those cars, can't remember which ones but some of them I laughed and said no way that car is putting those numbers out, but 4k for tester car is flat out rediculous

[Dattebayo]

haha you cant trust a place named RIPP.

you're gonna get RIPPed off or something.

[rem240sx]

I just posted a reply to them, but told them how most feel about the $4k price in comparison to a SR installed, prolly gonna get deleted or flamed by them LOL

Hey their system would prolly put out more HP than a stock $4k SR install so power for money it prolly good deal, but like I said in my post to them getting someone that owns a 240 to offer up there car as a guinea pig, shell out the 4k, and choose a non proven setup over a professionally installed SR good luck, then I proceeded to offer mine if they want to install it cheaper ROFLMAO

guys,

rippmods is NOT a fly by night company. they know what they are doing. I don't understand some of us nissan owmers.....The Tiburon guys secured 10 preproduction investors (with a contract) before hand rippmods purchased a car and developed a kit all in 6 weeks. they are now tuning the maps for performance.... After which the 3000GT DOHC guys are on line for the next Proto type... deposits in hand.

what you have here is another company paying attention to the cars we love. Imagine having a choice of turbo KA, SR swap and S/C KA....?

I'm sure Honda owners would've jumped on this if they didn't have like the whole friggin' world making parts for them!

[drifter_for_life06]

You see the thing is. Not many people liek supercahrgers. I know a lot do but on the contrary many dont.

rem with an SR you can get more power than a supercarger kit.

[blubird]

its a centrifugal supercharger which means its the same as a turbo just driven with gears instead of exhaust expecially when an air to air intercooler is involved. and hey BOOST is BOOST.

[thekage]

RIPP mods is a solid company.They have been building superchargers for the i4 Galants and dsms for a while now. On my Mitsu board there are several guys who have a ripp mods supercharger on their dsms. Check out thegalantcenter.net/forum if you have questions about them

[drifter_for_life06]

i know what a centrifugal is.

[blubird]

You see the thing is. Not many people liek supercahrgers.

S/C's just got a bad rep most folks picture the hugh blowers sitting ontop of muscle cars....you should see the http://www.procharger.com kit for the 350Z! talk about sleeper

[tar0icy_w/tapioca]

i'll let them put their stickers all over my car for the 4G advance, if their S/C work out good then i would probably buy it from them then, but 4g off hand is steep

[rem240sx]

OK first off most superchargers don't have as much lag as a turbo because of direct drive off the pulley, or at least that is my experience driving them. Second you can simply use different pulleys to spin your supercharger at higher revs in the case of most superchargers.

Drifter, quite frankly if you look at their stage 1 setup for most cars I highly doubt you are going to get a professionally installed SR to throw down 270 or 280 to the wheels without putting more than $4k into it, "professionally installed" is the key there, as RIPP's system would be on the guinea pig for design purposes not backyard garage installed. I know a SR will throw down more power in the long run, but not for $4k installed, That was my point to them so not dissin them or the company quite frankly. I personally look at what they have done with other cars in disbelief like a V6 stratus and can't wait to see what they do with a 240, and in the long run would prolly be a great investment for $4k but I am not willing to give up my car for a month and shell out that much loot. Now they want to do stage 2 for $4k and use me as a guinea pig I B DOWN in a sec LOL.

BUT once again as I put in my post to them getting us to pick a system that has yet to even be designed, much less tested, much less proven on a KA, MUCH LESS they want most design cars for a up to a month, and for all that they ask for 4k out of our pocket. Most companies would just go buy a car for testing or offer the system far cheaper than that considering from what I read most stage 1 setups are under $4k anyways from RIPP once designed. Not to mention getting the 240 owner over all those hurdles I just listed, when 90% of them would pick the SR anyways.

[drifter_for_life06]

i see some of your point. but if you shop right you can easily get 270 to teh wheels
