RIPP Supercharger Questions (lots of oil blow by)

[Roctavious]

Hello,
For anyone with a RIPP or other Centrifugal supercharger, I have a RIPP on my 2020 JT. I installed it myself, went through 5 tunes with RIPP (ran really rich), and as of now my check engine light hasent been back on…….. however under heavy acceleration (4500rpm and up) I get grey/black smoke out the exhaust. The other more concerning issue is my catch cans. I have a dual catch can setup (sent by RIPP). One goes from the crank case to just after the air filter, the other from the crank to the intake manifold. I emptied both and then departed for Moab (10hrs/600miles) and when I got here my first catch can was almost full, the second 1/4 full. Overall I got over 1 cup of very liquidy oil/gas substance. This doesn’t seem right to me but maybe it just runs really really dirty. Anyone have any similar experiences?

I just got mine so I can’t comment too much but I did have a small amount after about 200 miles in catch can.

Black/gray smoke is fuel.

The pic of the catch can, the lower photo, it mostly water. It's a Starbucks over-priced drink look. Pure oil would look just like you opened the drain on the pan. If it's tan at all, like that, it's a lot of water. So figure what's in that second pic and only a small fraction of that is actually oil.
However, the fact that it's increases and as you say "oil gas substance" says - rich, and it's washing the cylinder walls with fuel which will lead to premature wear of rings and cylinders.

To me, the fact you are getting smoke out the tail and a gas smell in the catch can says - way too rich, may lead to some damage (and if you are still running cats, they will be toast)
