why are all your posts in this weird font…
are you talking about the SC kit?
i’d hardly call 300 WHP BIG NUMBERS.
I have seen some of the RIPP mods stuff for the tiburon. I was not too impressed. I did not like the fact that they relied on methanol alone to cool the air charge instead of the intercooler. Otherwise as long as the tuning is on it should hold up im sure. Good luck.

thier shaft drive centrfigal blowers constantly bite the dust … the bearings are shit, the shaft couplers are shit … theres always something wrong with them
i know of RIPP because of the turbo-3g eclipse project. RIPP does the supercharged 3g eclipses, Tearstone does the turbocharged 3G eclipses
keep your money in your pocket

thanks for the info, do you know of any other supercharger companies that are good, and reliable, maybe like alpine or somethin. i dont know to much about superchargers
that kit looks like poop. ive never seen a centrifical SC’er drivin from a shaft before

i’m not lookin to spend 15 grand, i lookin to get more power from bolt on mods, but if i was lookin to get a built motor do you know a company that builds a motor for the tib specifically?

^^^^
WTF.
plastic pvc piping would be better

if vortech is good like focusinprogress says that use the same design for their elbow, do you thing there is a reason for this, i mean why wouldnt they just bend it.
LOL, that tib is auto. and that elbow design is so bad, I dont even know what to say…
thats what i figured, i didnt know if there was a reason or not, it seams so restrictive

they say it flows “better” … but they dont say what it flows better then …
it flows better then if you just cut 2 pipes @ 45* and welded them together
it flows better then a cork in the pipe would
probably flows better then if you had a gerbel in teh pipe
i highly doubt it flows better then a tight radius BEND
Here’s my interpretation of the elbow
It’s Bernoulli’s principle
When the air hits the wall it creates a low pressure area on the opposite side and allows the air to flow faster.
Im sure if it had no purpose they would just use a madrel bend and save money.
edit: There website says it also minimizes compressor surge
