There was a bloke in Victoria who had a 33 that was supercharged, he would come to cruises occasionally. From what i understood his setup was quite limited in terms of the power it could make, possibly stock NA internals im not really sure. Thats about all I know apart from the fact it was black with some terrible Fast and Furious/Transformer graphics all over the side.

check out the naturally aspirated performance section

someones dropped a v6 and supercharged it.

I actually am looking for info about supercharging a RB engine..

not sure if I'll go that route.. but just looking for more info =)

cheers

my twincharge is basically a supercharged RB25/30 with a turbo added, so all the principles are very similar to running just a supercharger - except this is vastly better:

there's more info here:

it looks interesting mate..

how much did you have to spend to get a supercharger on it?

and how the 2 run together?

cheers

i bought the blower from USA ebay for $300 AUD delivered, they came standard on a heap of cars over there and are hence much cheaper than here in australia. the later model ones also have improved internal design which is nice.

after purchase price, i had to have the drive snout shortened by a machinist which was $200. i bought some steel for 20 bucks and made the brackets myself. tensioner bearing was maybe another 30 bucks.

the other main cost is in the billet pulleys you can see in the drive system. i used a pair of cam gears and had a toolmaker lathe up some billet pieces for them to bolt to. there is a cam gear bolted to the crank, and another on the end of the power steering pump shaft. this is then bolted to the billet 8PK drive pulley, and the whole lot has a single retaining nut on the power steering pump shaft. it's a very neat system and allows for clearance to the radiator and other things which i won't go into. this was $500 for all the machining work.

you could certainly do it cheaper, but i wanted this setup to be very reliable and well balanced, which it is.

running the blower only is great, until you get the revs up. the lack of top end power will only be disappointing to your average punter. it drives a whole heap better on the street though, with bulk low-end power.

fitting the turbo only was the opposite, massive top-end power but nothing below 4000rpm.

with the two combined, and the multiplying effect of the two compressors, you have a very nice end result - as seen in the power delivery on the dyno. an almost ideal power curve of that shape, with that peak power on that boost level is just not able to be replicated on any 25/30 i've ever seen. the torque delivery is flat as a tack, so no matter what RPM you're doing you have the same torque at the wheels. this makes the car much easier to drive, and stay on the edge of wheelspin by controlling the throttle.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
