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

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
