New Stuff on the Market

[mcat707]

Hi guys! Just want to get back here with reviews and my real world experience with Ripp high performance ignition coils. MPG: it depends how you will drive. One day I drove it like I stole it, didn’t get any better, next day drove like a normal person I got 6 MPG more. HP gain: Honestly couldn’t feel much with bud dyno, other than throttle response got better off the line, engine sounds quieter. Well then I installed TRD CAI as additional, now I can feel it with a bud dyno there’s more HP. Overall with 33” tires, 2.5” lift, 93 octane, my 4Runner feels like a stock, with better MPG .

I got to tell you, I never had this # on my cluster. Before I installed those coils I had 14.2 - 15.2 with the same driving habits. And also there is another set of coils ready to ship out to anyone who willing to install it on his/her 5th gen 4Runner, just to have a second opinion from different people ( No charge ). You can email or call to Ripp supercharger directly with your information. Thanks .

Definitely sounds like an improvement. Are you hand calculating your new and improved MPG at the gas pump or are you just going by the dash readout?

Maybe you should also install a Sprint Booster to see how that would work with it?

So Ripp managed to do what the manufacturer could not do - squeeze six more mpg? C'mon man. That's nearly 40% increase over factory.

Yes that was a dash reading,never did calculations from full to empty. I mean if it’s off , won’t be much ~1 MPG. And SB sounds interesting, Why not? But I’ll skip this since Magy is on its way.

Pretty much. But like I said ( depends on how you drive) . I don’t get that reading every day ( I’ve got a heavy foot ) plus I am always on 93 octane, plus TRD CAI plus those coils. This is not a stock 4Runner anymore.
And besides, who said that Toyota wants to do something about Mpg

That's an easy question to answer. CAFE standards.

What is the engineering behind getting more performance from a coil pack? Don't you just need .8 mJ to make the gas ignite?

Reduces weight in the drivers wallet.

Acceleraton = Force / Mass

Reduce Mass = Increased Acceleration

huh? Can you even feel an increase of 16hp?

It depends. With your bud dyno? I doubt it, with your transmission yes you can definitely feel it. Shifting point going smoother, fester. I just don’t understand some people who upgrade tires for larger size like 33”> , they saying “ yes I feel like I lost some HP” usually 10-15 HP of lost over bigger tires. But when they get 10-15 HP back for some reason they don’t feel anything. Hmm! Interesting

Bigger tires change the gearing (which is what you feel), but technically don't change the wheel horsepower unless you're factoring in their added mass.
