Got a 2015 Ripp supercharger kit for my JK installed last week. I am if there is an issue here but the jeep seems like it lost torque at the low end... I mean it feels quicker up top on the highway but definitely feels a little slower before the supercharger. What do you guys think? I know it's a tough problem to diagnose without logs but I'm not sure where to go from here..should I dyno it?

 

Welcome to owning a centrifugal supercharger...you will not gain in the low end with one of those. You should have went with magnussen. Roots/screw type supercharger.....same as sprintex. They build way more power down low. Just the nature of the design....Anyone who tells you otherwise either is trying to sell you something or does not know the difference in supercharger desgins.

 

Well based on the performance I kind of feel it was a waste of almost 10k.....

 

I hate to hear that...I hope it is something that is just wrong and can be fixed. Keep us posted. I'd hate to waste that $$ too.

 

Give them a call, make sure you have the latest tune, etc. also get a boost gauge. I didn't notice any loss on the bottom end at all from the butt dyno on my 2012. I am running 4.88s, 37's.

 

I recently added RIPP to my 2011 and I haven't felt any low end loss, the jeep is much more fun to drive and very pleased with the highway performance. I would do as suggested and contact RIPP for advice. If I get the chance to pick up a sprintex for a reasonable price I am going to try it. I like the RIPP and while I have no low end loss I would like to feel the benefits before 2500 RPM. I have also been told that having the SC professionally tuned makes a world of difference.

Thanks. Ripp has been helpful. I have been advised to perform a boost leak test. Will do this tomorrow and update you guys.

 

Good to hear there's a chance to make things right for this supercharger. Looking forward with your update.

 

ive had a ripp superchargers on a few jeeps.. never lost low end torque... and getting about 9 pound of boost.. love it.. makes driving much more fun im sure once you get it dialed in you will be happy
