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 :)

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

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
