get a blower of a toyat 1g engine with a custom bracket and custom pulleys... cost **** all. I was gonna do it to mine :D

And if set up right can still have a blow-off valve and with the electric clutch setup you can rig a switch to turn the supercharger on and off at will.

Good luck finding an electric clutch that will hold a decent supercharger.

Sopercharged engines have to have the blower running at all times, they don't come on and off like a turbo.

You don't need a wastegate on a supercharger either..you just change the pulley sizes till you get the boost you want at full throttle.

Actually the supercharger off the 1g has got a clutch biult into the supercharger, All you need to do is hook up the electrics for it to have a switch in the ****pit.

Would not run over 11000rpm though. 1.5-2 ratio would be max before the teflon coating would come off the baldes.

The aftermarket superchargers bolt onto the front of the engine like an acessory..they have a belt drive off the crank. If you didn't know anything about cars, you'd just think it was an alternator, air conditioning compressor or something.

Extractors work great on supercharged engines, in fact, with any sort of forced induction, you should look at cams ground with more exhaust lift, and extractors. Reason being, the intake side isn't a restriction anymore, as air is being forced in. So you open the exhaust up to help get rid of the higher volume of waste gases.

The only problem with superchargers is they are all made in the states, so cost cubic dollars. Mc Culloch(the mower people!)actually used to make supercharger kits in the '50's!

There is nothing like the instant throttle response and bottom end torque a supercharger provides though..you have to drive one to fully understand!

I have seen photos of people who have made their own blowers by cutting the exhaust side off a turbocharger and bolting an overdrive gearbox and belt drive to the front of it to drive the compressor. Someone actually set a class record at the salt flats with a homemade blower like this.

Wanna a good supercharger?

Then dont buy from australia you are wasting you time and money (just my 2cents).

If i had the money i would get (wat im planing on getting if i 396stroke my 350) supercharged 396 cost $15,000 US *hehehe dont know if that would fit on a v6* im not to sure wat would v6 but u got to remember if you supercharger u should do;

For $a new set of heads or have yours ported if oyu have D-ports for @ $750-$1300, a new intake system @ $1300, headers @ $500 and bolt on a Supercharger, $4000.(US)

Im guessing it would be cheaper to get a turbo r33 block or somethying like that

But im pretty sure u can get supercharger here in australia starting from $2,000 *cuz my mate was going to get his VR superchanger*

hmmm... yeah... i checked out that link above too... i'd say $6-10k all up with supporting mods etc ....

i'll stick with my current plan...

keep my current skyline for about 2 years and get a R34 GTR

not sure how long my car would last if i supercharged it anyway... like its already got 200000+ on the clock :)

hmmm I digress...

Thanks anyway :)

http://www.procharger.com = Supercharger

this is just to give u an idea price on wat they cost in the US

they only do 1999-00 Honda Civic Si, 1994-01 Acura Integra GS-R, Type R, Nissan 350Z

Also More Power = More Money

meaning that the back-end (rear) will maybe not be able to hold all the power. So u will need to upgrand that and so on

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
