Re: WK2 Grand Cherokee 3.6 & 5.7 owners, RIPP Superchargers has a solution for you!

Excellent stuff. Thank you for supporting our community.

Quick questions:
1) How much boost are you running, for both the 3.6 and the 5.7 engines?
2) Have you considered offering / recommending a brake upgrade package to complement the nearly 50% rise in horsepower?

Both the 3.6 and 5.7 are running 6psi on the current kits and power levels, leaving room for future upgrades and generations.

We've not entered into different brake setups as of yet but we've seen clients upgrading to SRT brake systems or Brembo variants.

So will these either work or eventually be available for the 2015 5.7L Jeeps?

My 2015 Overland is feeling the Need.

All,

I have been dealing with RIPP for about 3 months being a tester for the 3.6 line and I will tell you they are second to none in both product quality and customer service. My jeep is not the same truck after the blower. I get so many puzzled looks after taking off from a stop light. The truck drives like stock with a much bigger motor. If your an adrenaline junky or a power whore don't even think twice as you will not be disappointed. There tunes are very dialed in and plug and play. I have owned various boosted cars and this is definitely a close second to my 725 whp Camaro as it is a complete sleeper.

I been following RIPP for years. They had a supercharger kit back in 2002 for V6 GT eclipse which I owned. Live close to them and always wanted to swing by their shop. Maybe I will after seeing these videos.:)

I'm really afraid of longevity on motor and tyranny. Otherwise, seems awesome
They did a lot of testing to make sure these kits don't affect either of those issues. The kit pulls hard but I never feel like it is hurting the motor or tranny. And it's certainly not tyrannical ;)

a jump in 50-80% jump in power. Now we all know Chrysler spec these engine and tranny to only a certain power. We know they definitely cut costs where they can. I'm sure the engine is fine. Might need additional cooling. but my experience with auto tranny, we'll they don't last. At least with hondas

The more you bear her up the more she will beat up your pocket. If you constantly smash throttle recklessly of course you will have issues but with tuning being good your issues should not arise unless they already existed.

As far as warranty, it will effect it based on your dealer relationship and what or if anything goes wrong. Mine has been into dealer since and i spoke to them and they are more excited about what they see rather than messing with you. I cant speak for other dealers but mine didn't blink and eye and they are all familiar with ripp.

Cost -$6299

I Have kit and its worth every dime.

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about the RIPP team and their kit...I am VERY happy with this kit and the Power is awesome!

Makes the jeep SO much more powerful and fun...but still drives as smooth as stock

If I could keep my foot off the pedal i'd probably be getting better than 11MPG

But after about 300 Miles on this system I'm averaging 11 MPG :thumbsup:

Log you jeep and send to RIPP. They can massage tune to be more efficient. 11mpg is too low unless your traffic ligh to traffic light Wot

Re: WK2 Grand Cherokee 3.6 & 5.7 owners, RIPP Superchargers has a solution for you!

I'm starting to notice a couple little tuning issues ...i'm getting some surging/hesitation at very low RPM...sometimes it stutters and feels like its going to stall...I'm guessing my tune is running rich...I'm also not able to get better than 14MPG no Matter how I drive..

On the highway in 8th gear cruise on set to 72 MPH I'm averaging 10-11 MPG according to the gauges ...I used to be at 22MPG at that speed before the Supercharger

I sent my Logs to RIPP a couple days ago so now I'm hoping to get this tuned out...

I'm also getting some misfiring at WOT..which is kicking out an engine light/code ...and even some blinking and dinging on the cluster ...so no more 100+ MPH passes ...

i'm pretty much babying it now until we get these issues worked out

I'm having the injectors and spark plugs pulled out on Tuesday...I'll know more then..I'm hoping its just a bad plug or an improperly installed injector


its driving ok for now so I am not worried...I just need to stay off the boost until we get it figured out

Thanks

0-60 time

I finally was able to grab one of the older Gtech timers while I am waiting for my new one...I tried it out this morning and made one quick pass from 0-60

I clocked in at 5.8 Seconds

Afterwards I realized I was not in sport mode and I just mashed the pedal from the start ...no revving or anything

I'm guessing I may get the time down a little bit if I use sport mode or the paddles....but 5.8 seconds 0-60 doesn't seem bad considering that's about 2 seconds faster than stock ...and I still have some tuning issues that I need resolved with the supercharger...so my time will get better once I figure out the issues as well..

Any updates on your tuning?

Re: WK2 Grand Cherokee 3.6 & 5.7 owners, RIPP Superchargers has a solution for you!

I've had my jeep in the shop at least one day a week for the past 4 or 5 weeks :)

After the Supercharger install I started getting Error codes for a CYL 4 Misfire...and then the engine knock sensors were going wild.

We found out that there was a boat load of oil coming out the breather tube and clogging up the K&N filter and choking out the motor. Once we installed a PCV valve it stopped the flow of oil going into the K&N...dry now

That seemed to eliminate the Knock Sensor Issues and made the motor run SO much better and faster now that it's getting clean air. I've been having a hell of a time trying to eliminate the CLY 4 (PO304) Error...we've pressure tested the system a few times...changed ALL the Spark Plugs...moved the coil packs around a few times...Compression tested the motor and still getting the error.

Last week I had the injector in Cyl 4 changed (thank you RIPP for getting me a new one) and so far so good...no PO304 Code since the injector Swap...as of right now i'm running a best of a 5.0 Sec 0-60


I haven't really tried doing many 0-60 runs though...the Jeep feels VERY fast compared to stock...I have a stock 2015 3.6L Durango and it's a complete DOG compared to my Jeep
