RIPP Supercharger gets... RIPPED APART!

[FLIPmeOVER]

They should give the cans with the Superchargers. Its 100 bucks. Your spending 6k. For no other reason, but to make sure that the tune is working with reliable air flowing thru.

Anyone with a tune should toss a can in the kit.

x2 on this. even if they charge a little more for it. it would be good to have this planned by the manufacturer. The tune would be more reliable if they cut out the oil gumming up the system

Are there pics coming of the condition inside the SC? Clean Dirty? Wet (oil) Dry?

yep pics coming. Im trying to catch up. Headlights, SC tear apart, and I have a 1 month old baby at home. So I've had to get creative to make time to get into the garage.

Here are my feelings on the whole clean out process. -

I think the intercooler may be the most important part to clean out. Maybe I can get ripp to comment. I opened the SC itself and it really was not dirty inside. Someone who understands the oil vapor may be able to tell better than I can, but what I think from seeing were the oil was in my system, is that what gets back into the SC is oil vapor, and it goes thru the SC and then condenses in the intercooler. I'll open it all back up next year, and we will see if the catch can has eliminated the problem.

Now how does it drive? I just got it back together a few hours ago, and took it around the block to make sure i'd put everything back correctly. I havent really gotten on it, but I will and will report back.

Here are some pics as I took the SC Apart -

So after all that, ive been driving it around lately, and it does feel cleaner.

If you dont have a catch can, dont bother with all this. Its a good bit of work that will be undone as you pump the oil back thru your system.

If you do have a catch can, the intercooler is most important. A clean intercooler is the key to it all. Oil wont pool in the SC. It will pool in the intercooler.

So are you running the high alt pulley now?

[JeepLab]

I couldn't get the freakin pulley off! The thing spins when you try to spin the bolt!

I tried to old the thing and twist it but my technique was not up to the task. Im still on the standard pulley.

I will be changing to high alt if someone knows how to get the freakin pulley off!

Does this mean that your recommendation is to order SC with high alt. pulley from the start?
