ADMINS
Hello, we've tried contacting the Admins several times regarding posting as a new vendor, please PM us with details as we do not want to start off on the wrong foot.
Allow us to introduce ourselves; we are RIPP Modifications llc located in Staten Island NY. We are new to the Jeep community, bringing our 16 years of performance experience directly to you. We look forward to answering all your questions and starting a long lasting and fruitful relationship. As some of you may have heard, we have produced a supercharger kit for the JK (automatic and manual transmissions) and we are launching the kit this month.

http://www.rippmods.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=2007%2DSDS%2D1
Installation is fairly easy and can be completed in 6-8 hours with basic mechanical skills and basic mechanics tools, and we offer a live tech line during normal business hours and a tech email address as well. Most importantly our supporting electronics come pre-programmed and do not require further tuning, so for all the DIY'rs out there, fire up the grill and make it a fun installation day.
We’ve read through some of the posts and found some misconceptions regarding our system and logic. We’ve done our best to anticipate every conceivable question we’ve seen so far, to properly lay out the facts as we’ve seen them over the 30000 miles of testing, both on and off road and in all weather conditions and over the past 15 months. We have accrued an enormous amount of data from stock to supercharged with every modification in-between. We allocated considerable mileage for testing and data logging with each modification.
To be clear our system runs as follows:
• 100% check engine light free environment, we work in conjunction with the Drive By Wire control systems, Traction Control Systems and Brake Assist System.
• 100% compatible with the stock exhaust manifolds, cats and exhaust
• 100% compatible with both automatic and manual transmissions.
• Does not require any hood or body modifications
• Produces a minimum of 80whp up to a logged maximum of 125whp above stock (tire/gear dependent) through factory stock manifolds, cats and exhaust.
• The kit comes pre-tuned and will not interfere with dealer ECU re-flashing; in fact the better it runs stock the better it runs Supercharged
• Pass’s any state sniffer test (but is not CARB legal as of yet)
• Can run of 87-93 octane fuel
• Does produce better gas mileage than stock in both city and highway conditions
• Is 100% field safe, whereas if for any reason you should need to take the supercharger out of operation you can safely revert back to stock anywhere anytime - Simply remove the supplied serpentine belt and install your factory belt and off you go, no other modifications are required.
As a few of you have pointed out our Supercharger location is remotely mounted in the rear of the engine bay. There are several reasons why we elected to do so and we will gladly list them for you.

1) First and foremost it’s the cleanest and driest part of the engine bay. As many of you are well aware, dirt, water and sand can get anywhere in the engine compartment and running a supercharger which is a considerable investment, we want it in the safest place possible. The supercharger is taking in hot air from the engine bay and this is not as critical as one would think. When the supercharger is compressing air into boost, the natural reaction is an increase in temperature as high as 180 – 200 degree’s so the temperature at the supercharger inlet is not that critical. We’re not going to denounce the fact the cooler denser air isn’t better, we’re saying that for this application safety takes precedence.
2) Second, as many of you have indicated, RIPP uses a supplemental injection system, which is digitally and proportionally controlled through our proprietary electronics the RIPP Black Box. By electing to use this method of fuel enrichment it also acts as an intercooler and the misted fuel brings down Air Intake Temps (AIT) substantially under constant load.
3) RIPP has already designed and is fabricating a snorkel which contains a canister air filter and runs through the fender similar to the River Raider units. This makes our system completely self contained and submersible, without having to rely on silicon as a sealant.
Intercooling:
RIPP offers a unique self-contained intercooling system - however keep in mind the beauty of Vortech blowers (as opposed to some of our competition) is they really don’t need intercooling until you surpass 8-9psi. In testing at 7psi our Air Intake Temp’s (AIT) are only around 100-120 degree’s fully heated or “hot lapped”. It’s important to keep in mind that we are advertising our Hot Lapped WHP not a false Cold number that can only be achieved once.
Respectively, using a Front Mount Intercooler (FMI) is utterly useless in a rock crawling and/or trail riding conditions as the small units can easily get heat saturated and actually work against you. Conversely if you play in mud it will only get clogged. Instead RIPP developed a digitally controlled Wet Plenum Intercooler (RIPP Boost Cooler), using a Water/Methanol injection system. The system essentially sprays a mist of the mixture (available locally to you in any reputable auto parts store) right into the boost stream and the combination then cools the air, adds density and suppresses knock in addition to adding octane. This not only cools it also maintains clean intake runners, valves and pistons. The Boost cooler is an option and can be added at any time and would take about 30min to an hour to install.

So in short, driving the JK with the RIPP Supercharger in place is like driving a JK with a larger engine, right now we are producing 243whp at 7psi through a completely stock exhaust system including, manifolds, cats and muffler. Considering that a Naturally Aspirated (N/A) is only 118-127whp on the larger 35"-37" tires and wheels. The 243whp and 254lb/ft of torque is a welcomed mod. It’s also noteworthy that the JK is running completely Check Engine Light free and we've tested on 87 through 93 Octane gas without problem (Gas mileage has gone up 4-6 points in the city and 6-9 on the highway (depending how heavy a foot you have):what?:
